any one heard the Nukleuz rumours?

ONLY VIA THE VC BOARD.

GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT.

When they have gone from 10 office employees to 2 in the last 6 months, it ain't a good sign

This could also be a sign of restructuring not going out of business also so I wouldn't speculate too soon. Let's hope Nuke is around for a long time to come

if its not viable £££ then media group will just pull the plug - back in the day... nuk used to release chart stuff like cappela, maybe they need to hit this again to build cash up - as they do give a fair few un heard of artists releases - and young and upcoming talent etc..

will be a shame for the hard house / dance / trance secene if they go.

It happened to Hooj Choons! They had a very successful track record. Hits. Big artists.

Radio airplay. Superstar DJ playlistings. Then they were gone. But they steadfastly refused to change with the times...

Truely sad news if thats the case

''If Nukleuz are going bust that is very, very worrying indeed!  If they can't keep their heads above water it's difficult to see how anyone else can! ''

not really cat... labels such as nukleuz sometimes become such costly operations that they implode.. eg, the days that the label was starting off, selling a couple of hundered a month was probably a blessing.. now as they have so much to maintain and so much staff etc, they may just very well collapse...

i feel the smaller labels are prevailing and that the only losers on that side of the gig are companies such as nukleuz...

same happened to HOOJ even though their scene was going very strong, so i feel this has nothing to do with a low in hard dance.. far from it!

but as everyone has already said before, it would be a shame to see them go down... clas label run by class people!

if it is true i wonder who is next

Dont really think you should speculate as to why,if or how theyve gone bust as in this age of the net what ever has gone down will become known i guess soon enough,and speculation without fact only gets people panicing for the wrong reasons,like chinese whispers kinda, things get twisted, two people i know there have been made redundant which is a real shame as they are both good, sound lads and have both worked hard there, they will both bounce back im sure and my fingers are crossed for them as there are alot more toss pots in this scene then them

excatly to many people willing to judge before knowing the facts in this scene.

True .. Hahaha. Whoops

I don't think thats true. Yeah Nukleuz has been slightly better lately then what it has been but no where near better then what is was when BK and Nick Sentience were still around.

True!!

If you really think about it then it's been a good 2 years or more since BK and Nick Sentience were really churning out the good stuff! OK.. so there's been more high quality tunes recently (not that much of it appeals to me), but what your looking at is a two year gap and for a business that can be fatal.

I'm really sick of hearing about Ed Real banging on about MP3s. It's not MP3s that have damaged Nukleuz, but a wealth of shite tunes!! (sorry.. it had to be said). I used to buy a lot a Nukleuz tunes and it's not really that my sound has matured or that I've got more knowledgable... or any of those other reasons I've heard many times before.. It's simply due to a decrease in quality! 

I still love most of my old blue and purple Nukleuz records. But if you look at say those two sub labels - the decline over the last 2 years or so is blatantly obvious!! (The Purple label went from great to shit about 6 seconds after Nick Sentience left)

I really feel for the guys who have lost there jobs and just like everyone else I have a sentimental attatchment to Nukleuz. But maybe the decline of the label is a good thing. Maybe it means that hh/ht buyers are becoming more discerning (I doubt this, but it's possible) or maybe it's just time to let go!
