Cant really compare S3RL and Breeze can we? S3RL is far superior, and thats why he has such a reach
Absolutely disagree.
S3rl's style of music brings in the Otaku/Weaboo/Nightcore/Anime culture, PLUS mainstream hardcore listeners.
Since Breeze doesn't make cheesy kandi, he doesn't have that kind of fandom culture going for him.
Breeze makes tracks on his own? I thought he just collabs with talented producers....
The last track I heard Breeze do on his own was this:
I think the shitness of that track pretty much immunizes every dig he can have against other producers. I mean, you compare this to newer and younger producers like Dys7, Spirit Wolf and Olly P and you begin to wonder what it is that makes this tub of lard so special.

Don't blame the consumers for your poor marketing!
Couldn't have said it any better, what a massive **** breeze seems to be in those posts - it truly does seem he has the IQ of a glass of water and is completely ignorant.
Also C-Kay your public perception doesn't seem much better when your siding with Breeze and you give off the impression of being a tad uneducated, you seem ok in your posts on here though which is odd.
Say what now? Are you dragging someone who isn't on this thread into it, just because he has sided with Breeze. TBH, Hixxy, Kevin Energy and Thumpa (and Brisk in a few places) are the only ones who has given australian artists any kind of recognition. So why not jump on everyone else Rodz90? So either calm down, or you'll just give the "anti-haters" more fuel to call us "haters"...

I think he's referring to C.Kay's responses to Breeze's twitter post, which I have to say makes him look rather ignorant. The first year they decide to let the nominations and winners completely decided by the voters, and he calls this new system "cock shit." Is that saying we don't know how to vote? And he complains how they are spamming for votes, yet everyone at FW then and now do that! Hellblinde was never going to win, but it's more interesting than anything that his name got up there.

Thanks Latin that was what i was referring to, apologies Samination - try reading my post one more time; i'm not saying C-Kay is a bad guy or anything, just commentating on his public perception from those twitter posts as opposed to on here - it just seems a tad odd is all.Honestly I'm not that ambitious to start some kind of hating feud!

No, I should apologize Rodz, cause I did miss c-kay posts on twitter.
C-Kay made those posts a few months ago, which is still a few months after the helblinde debacle. I guess he was trying to make amends? :P

Agreed Elipton, Dys7 is making some wonderful music. Keeps getting better and better. Spirit Wolf put a video up of him making an hardcore track and I learned a few things from just watching him. You are also a million times better producer than breeze in my eyes. I can think hands down atleast 20 artists who don't get the recognition they deserve, they are extensively more talented than breeze. Then you hear that piece of shite breeze as put out (sorry I shouldn't be so offensive calling it that but it's not good). It's one of those songs if it's on a cd. I WILL skip it. How the heck that even made it on to Clubland Hardcore is beyond madness. So many great tracks out there that could of put that song to shame.

Breeze may have had something at one point (perhaps in the Infinity days) but over the last decade or so he's become increasingly irrelevant to hardcore -- to the point where him trying to pose as an authoritative arbiter on what is and isn't hardcore just seems unwarranted, insecure and pathetic.
It's notable that, in the last 10 years at least, every single well-regarded, "classic" track bearing his name was co-produced by at least one person with a set of great solo works to their name. His solo track record, on the other hand, has been forgettable at best. If you wanted to be generous, you could say that he's just an enhancer for much better producers. But, even then, the best Styles solo tracks are up there with the best Styles & Breeze tracks which leaves you wondering what he actually adds to collabs.
In essence, he's dead weight. And there's nothing worse than dead weight trying desperately to stay relevant by riding on the few successes in their past. He also strikes me as the first person who would be out the door if the money in hardcore dried up. I think any real interest he ever did potentially have in hardcore died a long time ago. He's the definition of a hardcore businessman, complete with an attitude of industry protectionism and overwhelming entitlement.

We've collectively just dismantled one of the most recognizable names in Hardcore as being dead weight and crap at producing. How on earth is it that he is head honcho of a label that encompasses Gammer, DS, Hixxy and others? It's like putting Team Rocket in charge of Apple.

Mind-boggle!
Thumpa isn't exactly a producer either, but he can run his label with no mayor problem. Well he did complain about the poor sales the digital downloads had.

maybe he is just good in managing a label while the other big names focus on music production, thats why they trust him and joined his label, instead of doing the unfunny on their own.
yeah, he isnt good in doing tunes on his own since the popular hhc days ended, but he doesnt need to actually, since his label friends can do the job better. would he really stand out with own sound atm.? i doubt it.

True, Thumpa's not a producer - but he's not dead weight. He's brought some much needed life and activity to Freeform, got new producers involved and relevant to us and is generally probably helping the genre with pushing for slots at Westfest and stuff.
Nevertheless, I think Thumpa sometimes has the same issue as Breeze. He can often mouth off, and as right or wrong as he may be, I think if you're in a position of responsibility like that - at the top of a label, you can look the fool or isolate yourself. When you own a label, you can't go around saying other producers are too unpopular to win awards, or the remixes you received for a remix competition weren't good enough. You begin to alienate yourself from other people who you may at some point need.
Of course, the same can be said for me - which I imagine you're all thinking. However, I don't have a label that commissions and depends on other producers. When you have a leading label, the risk is surely higher. As it goes, I don't exactly have much to lose (pretty much everything I do is free anyway lol)

I think in another thread somewhere its been stated Chris Unknown is perhaps not as good without another major player (such as Sy) working collaboratively.
perhaps it's not the best - but it's certainly not the worst and is an example of two producers that rely on collabs making something that's not half bad.

Actually that tune is completely OK, especially considering the 2 producers involved in it. Certainly believe that Chris Unknown was more of the talent in that track.

I actually reckon Sy depended quite a lot on Unknown. Some of his recent tracks have been really good. Take "Hardcore is my life". Very good track. But he's been doing a whole load of stuff even since AATW butchered Bonkers
