Unfortunately, after 13 years of business BangingTunes Ltd no longer exists.

A new company has been established and will endeavour to run the site in a limited capacity, while ensuring customers with items reserved receive them.

No more vinyl will be ordered.
All out of stock items have been removed from sale.
Outstanding back orders cannot be fulfilled.
Unfortunately no refunds can be given on outstanding orders.

For customers that had items reserved, on back order, or credit available please note the following.
The company you placed your order with no longer exists and the new company has no obligation to you.
If you have items reserved please ship them before May 31st.
If you have credit available please spend it on items in stock and ship the order before May 31st.
The remaining stock may be ordered until May 31st.

The new company will continue to run the community aspects of the site, DJ Mixes & Forums, with a view to monetizing the traffic to cover the server costs.

The new company is also for sale. So if you are interested in a business with large community and 1M+ page views a month, get in touch, any offers considered.

I would like to thank all of the customers who have shopped with us over the years.

What exactly will this new company do or is it mainly about the forum?

 

Also, what was all that bangingtunesdigital malarky that went on while I was in australia ... I missed the gist of it?

Unfortunatly thats the case really, customers just become debtors of the previous company like anyone else. We all know someone thats lost quite a lot of money from this and as such the BT customers are a group thats losing the least money from this situation.

It is a real shame that it has come to this, I have been a supporter of the site and have shopped here for many years.

For those that still want to get hold of hard house vinyl and CD's they are still out there! The latest releases from some labels have not been available from the shop so check them out.

I really hope that someone or a group of people with common sense jumps on this opportunity to purchase a quality brand name and starts to use it for selling QUALITY downloads. BT is perfect for putting hard music back on the map. It just needs a group to monitor what is being put out there, instead of whacking any shit up for the sake of making the site 3 sales etc etc. but thats a different matterlaughing

thanks for shop over the years anyway K. had some fine tunes & service out of here.thumbsup

This is definitely sad news but it comes to no suprise to be honest. BT was known for being the place to get your vinyls and when the digital age came, others got a head start and vinyl started to die so....but nonetheless, thanks K for all of the years of outstanding work and customer service.  I have bought so much from BT over the yeas that I could probably have owned part of the company. lol. laughing  Good luck to all your future plans.

Really sorry to hear this mate. Since I got into hard house BangingTunes was the place to be on the net. Bought many tunes when I played vinyl, and lost many an hour to the board.

I was always impressed by the ridiculous amount of time you spent to code the board from scratch, and that you seemed to be a bit coy when it came to compliments.

I wish you well in whatever you have planned for the future.

So the forum will continue unchanged?

The forum will continue but probably with a lot of ads to pay for hosting fees.
That's okay if it keeps it running we can cope with a few ads.............. Will you be selling any digital downloads then?

Very sad news indeed.  I don't have anything to do with dance music anymore but BT provides me with lots of laughs & entertainment on a daily basis, would be a shame to see it go. Good luck in the future Kristian.

 

Ziggy, if you have anymore info about the company for sale, please let me know as i would possibly be interested in putting some money in depending on what's available & what could be done with it.

Really sad to hear this news. I've really enjoyed my time on this site over the years and enyoyed working with Kristian & Oz in that time. Kristian has done a great job keeping this place going for so long but in the meantime taught himself a great deal about business, building and maintaining websites which hopefully will help him find a money spinning new career for himself and his family.

 

I'd like to thank you Kris for the effort you put in and wish you all the best for the future mate.

Exactly that...... besides, surely a few quid for some records is worth waiving to ease the financial stress of someone that has hosted this site and given so much to the scene.  It's obvious that cash is the reason it's going (or is that one just melooking) so ya can't really blame him.

Its not few quid. Its few quid just from one person and few from another and that adds up quickly. If the cash is the problem atm why not tell people that money (or a portion of it) will be returned to them once the website is sold? You talk about K supporting the scene and running this website (which was his business so you dont own him anything for running it), so what about people that supported his store for the last 15 years?

But thats business Zanos, its the way it is. You say this like K has done is utmost to rip people off, like he did it on purpose. Thats fucking ridiculous. If he set out to rip people off he would have done it years ago when the big money was about. Do you really think a man with a young family and a mortgage is going to give away the last of his money to a business client than feed his family? Stop being so niave dude.

Its unfortunate for all concerned and a big shame but even you would feed your family first.

Thanks for all the comments.

A couple of suppliers and labels have taken a hit which i regret, all have had or are getting stock returned and the companies debts were considerably less than they ever were, 4k total. Most of our suppliers went under before we did.

Refunds, Fair or not, is something i have no choice about. The company was struck of the registrar, and bank accounts closed. I had a backup company ready to go if needed. Technically the old company (which is run from my home (which i rent)) when struck off its assets were abandoned in my house and its my job to dispose of the small amount of stock that remains, so customers that had items reserved can pay for there shipping, which i will inturn spend at the post office. The new company and myself are both pennyless so cannot fund refunds that theres no legal obligation to. Allowing customers that had credit to order whatever remains and actually receive something is better than nothing as is normally the case.

Other stores, ive seen people mention Juno, they really are the tescos of this industry, please support the smaller stores, toolbox, kinetic, chemical, german trance (if still going?) etc.  If not supported there will soon be no specialists left.

And someone mentioned credit card data, BT doesnt store any card data, so theres no need to worry about stuff like that being sold.

Hope the forums will stay because they are my daily connection with the UK and one of the very few places I can talk about hardhouse with people who actually know what I'm talking about. Got so many friends through this site in the last year and ordered so much from a few years before that so BT has been like one of my best friends for a long time. And has supplied me with lots of the best bits in my record collection.

As my almost exclusive provider of vinyl over the past 8 years, I am deeply saddened by the closing of BT. It was the only place I could ever find really decent releases (other sites are just too cluttered with nonsense, including today). My DJ career never really took off (I started spinning Hard House and Hard Trance just before the collapse of the American rave scene around 2002), but I've found music I would never have otherwise found and of course will never forget thanks to BT.

Thanks for all the years of hard work, Kristian & crew. I saw this coming, but it didn't hurt any less.frown

Can't help think if it moved with the times and got on the digital bandwagon when trackitdown did it could of all been very different. Then again we all probably would have complained. Thats not for me really to say i know but if you want to be succesfull you have to adapt to the climate. It may just be that it's never going to be succesfull again and K is clever enough to see that, so jumping ship and going where the money is.

I agree with all these points. The closing down of BT should be a lesson to everyone as to what happens when you don't move with the times.

Not blaming Kristian or anything, either way was going to be a gamble for him. He could've gone fully digital and still not made it. TID and Beatport are major forces and would take some beating. I wouldn't want to use my money trying I know that. But of course, the only other way was to stick with vinyl and that was never going to work. Tough situation.

And yeah, best Hard forum around. Some of the others are full of morons thumbsdown

This is very sad news and I wish Kristian all the best with whatever he decides do after Bangingtunes.

 

This unfortunate closure has had a financial impact on Toolbox Music as there is an amount of money unpaid and we have not been able to stock our releases into Bangintunes for some time.   This has and is likely to continue to have a knock on effect to the labels that we distribute for, however Toolbox is going to try and absord as much of the money owed as possible so that the labels dont lose out on important sales in the current climate.

 

Kristian has kindly given his permission for me to mention our massive clearance sale that is currently going on before we move to new economical premises in a few weeks.   Please check it out and support us and the labels in these difficult times.

Kristian has kindly given his permission for me to mention our massive clearance sale that is currently going on before we move to new economical premises in a few weeks.   Please check it out and support us and the labels in these difficult times.

I hope you guys are not in too much strife Nik, it would seriously break my heart if Toolbox, as well as BT, had to give up. I'd probably give up buying HH completely frown

wow this fuckin sucks.  truly the end of an era. before i found this site i was buying sub par tunes from dancerecords.com and have ben a loyal customer for probably at least 7 years.
90-95% of my vinyl was bought here.  and the few issues that i did have (and there werent many at all) were dealt with fairly and expeditiously EVERY TIME.
f the fee wasnt astronomical then i might even consider chippin in a bit.  let me know if we ever get a figure.

This is just a reminder of the sad sad times we're in at the mo. Banging tunes has always been a great place to pick up some superb advice, tips and feedback as well as being one of the best sites to download some top quality mixes by djs that are trying to get thier break. I ve never used vinyl so never used the shop, but ive used the forums a fair few times and made a couple of mates through it. I admire the hard work and effort that has gone in to making this site work for the time its been online, and i seriously hope that the forums continue to run. The thing is there isnt really anywhere else as good as bangingtunes. Hardly anyone seems to use harderfaster these days, dsi is fookin rubbish cos the pages take ages to load cos of all the adverts plus the chatbox pisses me off. There are a few other forums, but none as popular as bt. Its a sad sad time! Ive never met you, but Kristian, I salute you. Without you bt would never have been!! thumbsup

Stupid GFC! Plus the days of vinyl are really over, if I bought decks again i'd be going CD, especially with the cost of importing vinyl to Oz.

But not surprising in this current climate and  digital downloading. frown

I have never used the shop on here but loved the Forum over the years so i hope it does continue as i have made quite a few friends on here, not to mention help in selling my sample DVD's etc.

I wish K all the best in whatever he decides to do. and a thank you to everyone else out there if this site does disappear. thumbsup

Music Style I like it hard... like mensa....
Sigh

Although i hardly post here anymore, i do often come to have a read and check up on things here....
BT has always been the focal point of whats kept me liking the scene that revolves around this music genre....
it's not just the music, but the people and family like atmosphere u get with the other people in this scene that also keeps me liking this music and scene.

I've been wondering for a while now if BT would ever go and im sad to see it's now that time frown

If any1 is still trying to patch together a group of people to buy the company out i'm in for helping as much as i can and may be able to bring some money to the pool.

If things get really bad and the forum goes down is there any chance K that you can give us a shout as to when the site will go down so we can come on say proper goodbyes etc?

For any of the old lot that wanna keep in touch feel free to add me on msn or drop me a mail.

Wishing you all the best K and thanks for what you've done all this time.

Just read this and it is sad news.  I must have spent hundreds of pounds on this site back in 2001-2005 buying tunes I couldn't really afford laughing
I haven't really been into mixing since the end of 2005 so haven't been keeping on top of the massive shift from vinyl to cd/mp3.  I just hope the music forum stays active as I like listening to other peoples mixes knowing that they probably get the same buzz of buying and mixing the tunes that I used to get years ago.  I still have my decks in the loft, are they pretty much worthless now?

how long until orders are sent out?  this kinda takes the piss as i paid for next day insured delivery 2 days ago, am i going to be refunded the difference or have something thrown in for free because of this? 

i appreciate it must be hectic there at the moment with them sorting stuff out, but at least update the webpage to say orders are being delayed, or better still notify each customer.

EDIT: and i even got an order dispatched email come through, but with no tracking so something is up frown

thanks guys

There is some dirty shit going down.... Communication was never BT strong point!!! I've been robbed, sounds like you've been robbed and I'm sure there are many others like us!!!

This is a cuntish way to treat people who have been purchasing records from this site for years!!! I have personally spent lots a money on this site in the last 6 - 7 years and then get told there will be no refunds!!!

Thats a load of shit!!!

For fucks sake the company's gone out of business, that kind of thing can cost people everything they have not a poxy ten or twenty quid or wahtever.

Since BT began it's always been very highly respected and that doesn't come for nothing, K and the team were always considered the dogs bollocks at what they did but now the business can no longer survive...these people didn't choose this for themselves, you or anyone else.

Spouting venom like that over something that no one intended to happen? thumbsdown Selfish and shallow.

To whom posting "I havent got my vinyls or whatever yet"

 

At the first place, K announced that:


If you have items reserved please ship them before May 31st.
If you have credit available please spend it on items in stock and ship the order before May 31st.

In addition, he also mentioned that it wont arrive as usual.

It prob seems to be too long for "few extra day" for ya but more importantly BT is in trouble and how hard to imagin its gonna be delay?

Be patient, mates.

 

I ordered several vinyls before 31st of May and I recieve them in a week as usual for shipping to Japan.

My question now have is what is the point buying vinyls from BT.

Does it help you, K?  Does it save the BT forum?

Are you utterly retarded or do you not understand the concept of finance???   It's purely financial reasons as to why the sites closing, not the end of clubbing you reject. 


Fuck man,  the mental age of some of you trolls and trouble makers is totally astounding.... do you honestly think that it's the end of the world because the site is shutting?? Do you really believe that there won't be another site we can just pop off over to??   You have some issues to deal with i think eyesup

AYE, IT'S NOT BEST PRACTICE BUT BEST PRACTICE GOES OUT OF THE WINDOW WHEN YOUR BUSINESS FOLDS (sorry about the caps). TBH i'm not sure there's anything can be done. you would be at the back of a long list of creditors after reclaiming much bigger amounts than you are after. it sucks but that's the way things go when a business folds. I'm sure i can speak for K in saying that nothing personal has been meant and that if things could have been done a better way then they would have. He's not been out to rip anybody off in this.
