I just wanted to say a big thanks to everyone that has sent messages and emails regarding "Shooting Star".
I know that some of you may not have been that keen to see it in the charts, and I also know some of you don't like the remixes that were done by Flip & Fill, but after speaking to them both, they are passionate guys, who love all music. In my experience, that's the kind of enthusiasm the music industry needs, so let's not kill it, let's encourage it
The conversations I've had with the various HH DJ's of late have been great, and it feels like our scene has been given the well deserved lift through a combination of events, not just "Shooting Star" but in general.
So thank you everyone that messaged me. I've tried to mail you all back personally, but if there's a couple I've missed I apologise. Overall, I feel proud that it was this scene that started "Shooting Star". And that will always be so.
Of course the double bonus was Cat Deeley.....<shuffle shuffle> actually said "happy hardcore outfit Bang!" on national TV last Saturday...... A moment I shall treasure.
Cheers guys!
Nick.

i was meaning to say something but never got round to it,to busy being ill in bed :(
the cover got to #3 in the charts i think? well anyways,however far it went,just the fact that it got so high in the charts and being a song YOU wrote,must be a good feeling inside eh? coz i'd be well pleased if a song i wrote got so high up in the charts. so give yourself a pat on the back and well done m8

If ur saying cheers, ill guess il say sorry!! I admit i thought flip and fill were just cashing in on alot of stuff, but i beleave u when they say there passionate. I think now it cud b called a classic track, not only in hhc but all accross the board not many tracks make that transition to "classic" in more than one genre but uve managed it well done!
Like a bolt of lightning it's so frightning..Get ur brain now we're igniting

it works both ways... eyeopener was a pop song that was turned into a hardcore track. Nothing wrong with hardcore tracks giving rise to more commercial stuff either!

Well done to Nick and I'm sure you'll get the rewards.....hopefully your pockets will be a bit heavy now (filled with more money) so you can live a bit easier and pay the bills but of course fund a whole new influx of Blaze tunes yeah?!!!!!!!

Nick-well done mate-you deserve it, as already said please, please plough the money into some new tracks for our scene!
And God yeah Cat Deeley saying "Happy Hardcore outfit Bang!" That made me feel proud for you, so f*ck knows how you must have felt!
PS-I have to say I'm seeing now that Flip 'n Fills version only adds to the depth & quality of the song & the amount of people now listening to my HHC collection as a result is phenomenal!
Nick-Respect!

Oh man... I'm not leaving hardcore. I love it here always have. Theres new tunes on the way too so no probs.
Its a great feeling, and I'd hate everyone to turn against Flip & Fill, just because they made a hit record. I had that and you feel really crap.
One of the guys told me that it came around when he was in the car with his girlfriend. They were playing a HH CD and she said that "someone should do Shooting Star"... so they did.
I'm glad most people are cool about it, after all, it's all music.
Cheers everyone....
Nick.

Nick, big up ya chest! U R a true Hardcore head and all us Hardcore ravers love ya.
I'll be honest, I hate the Flip n Fill remix of Shooting Star but that is because the original, the Hardcore mix - 'THE REAL' Shooting Star, is the real deal. I wont listen to Flip n Fill's mix of it. Whenever it comes on the radio or on the tele, I turn it off and put on the Hardcore mix of it; YOUR TUNE!
I envy you. You've got the best Hardcore band on the planet who created the best Hardcore tune ever. Cant be bad can it. The reason I envy you is because i want to do what you do; to create Hardcore for a living and play it infront of thousands of up for it Hardcore ravers. That is my dream!!!
Anyway, Keep up the fantastic work Nick, cant wait for your new tunes from both Blaze! & Nimrod.
Stay safe mate, Andy Virtigo!
We are the music makers & we are the dreamers of the dreams!!

Don't you worry. I'm sat here now with a pen and some paper writing lyrics down. Not going to well at present but I'm sure I'll come good! Then I just need the equipment and stuff to make the tune!!!!! I actually feel that I have a fair few ideas about making some tunes. Plus, as soon as you've made one tune you get ideas about your next one quickly anyway!
