Then he made that really dreary album called I?m alive. It?s what I?d like to think hardcore would sound like if emo?s made it.

I remember when the shitstorm with Sy calmed down, Unknown set up his own label and was getting a big push from others in the scene. If I remember right, he was involved in the huge remix of concrete angel and it was also released on his label. He was given the kick off set at HTID in the sun (although had to pull out) and was generally hot property for a while.
Sadly, he was shown to be a very average producer without Sy and before long he seemed to fade into obscurity. I havent heard anything from him in a while so I guess he is devoting his time to other things. He always seemed a genuinely nice guy so I wish him all the best.

Don't forget that when the shitstorm with Sy calmed down, for whatever reason Unknown took it upon himself to revive that mess and publicly sided against Sy. Don't understand why out of nowhere he did that.

This 100%, I was commenting on someone's status on Facebook a few weeks back, forgot who's now, but yeah, this subject was what was being talked about and I said the exact same thing, just when it had all seemingly blown over he popped up and stuck the boot in, for absolutely no reason at all that makes any sense, why leave it about a year before piping up when there was every opportunity to have a say back theb, because let's face it, every other f--ker was getting their 2 pence worth in at the time, doesn't make sense.

or like some of us said back then. He was probably told "Either you're in, or you're out". And he selected to be a sell-out

That spells the end for Quash Records where he had his best tunes.
