Explained the situation, apologised, nothing concrete other than the tracks are done and need mixing down which is Hattrixx's department. I'm disappointed it is so late, but it is what it is.
For what it is worth, I didn't go in alone - obviously it's still a fair bit of money for 11 tracks, but there have been bonus VIP tracks, and all the samples and more, and of course the vinyl. For what I paid, it's not bad value at all.
The only gripe is the lateness. As I am highly confident they won't just take the money and run, I can wait a little longer.
If they DO take the money and disappear, I will eat every member of this forums hats.
and whats up with that hattrixx remix of a dj demo track at the end of that last update.. sounds sick!

They said Skarr is a fanny and he should ram his apology up his arse. Or so I heard.

Only just come back to this thread for a while. Last time I saw, everyone was talking about Kniteforce and then I forgot to check back. Been busy! ;)

Hi all, this has been asked a few times already but has anyone heard anything about this? It's really frustrating as there's been no update whatsoever after new year. Most of us have been patient enough but as time ticks by and March is on the horizon, I for one would like to know what's happening at least. I know great man Vibes was in hospital which is fair enough but there's still zero action. I'm a massive Vibes, Hattrix and overall Happy Hardcore fan, as you can tell from my Soundcloud page and enjoy getting involved in these projects. I backed the Ham project, the Sharkey completionist edition, MPS's crowdfunded Fast Floor reissue (plus many more on the site) and obviously this Vibes & Hattrix album. Most of these have had problems and deadlines missed but this is the one that I was looking forward to the most to be honest. As this is the most expensive of those mentioned and we were originally promised this as a Christmas present, I'm just a tad disappointed. Anyone else feel the same?
Mate, first of all MASSIVE RESPECT. I've been on a strict diet of '92-'95 breakbeat/happy music for the past couple of months, and I've become a huge fan of your SoundCloud project. Not trying to sweeten you up, just really gassed to find out that you're the one behind it!
Anyways, apologies for the wait, it's not for nothing. You'll forgive me when you have the music, I promise. You'll understand why it took longer than anticipated. The lateness has nothing to do with Shane being in hospital briefly, and everything to do with our commitment to deliver something truly spectacular. I feel I've really got the best out of Shane on this venture, and he's held me to my highest standards too. I wouldn't be hyping it up if I feared it might not go down well. You're exactly the kind of hardcore heavyweight character we had in mind when we set out to do this project, you'll see...

Not even the extra months, it's how he can't seem to give us an update...
I didn't know there were deleted comments. I personally deleted one (after speaking to the author on the phone and getting his blessing to delete the comment), I'd be very surprised if Shane intentionally deleted any others.
As for ignoring comments, I think he's been messaging people privately as much as possible, but he does get overloaded with people sending him tunes and asking questions and so on. Also he's not exactly "hifi" on the tech scene. He only got a smartphone for the first time very recently, then damaged the screen so he couldn't use it. :D I'm sure if you were to phone him or text him (the old fashioned) way he'd be more than happy to answer ? his number is on the first video as you come into the user area. Nobody's intentionally ducking questions anyway.
Sorry for the lack of video diary updates ? addressing that now. That was literally because I was prioritising putting time into the music, rushing to get it finished off ASAP. It's a tough gig, but I chose to do it and I'm more than happy I did.

This project isn't for you. You are a vegan complaining about a butcher's menu.
Actually that's a bad analogy.............. Actually it's a good analogy.

I must say, I'm proud of you, Skarr. You've come a long way since the start of this thread. Decided to knock the comedy on the head in favour of becoming a private investigator? Good on you. Inspector Gadget better watch his back. It's quite interesting, because avoiding tax is actually legal. I wouldn't expect you to know that in your infinite wisdom, though.

well I saw 1 pretty nasty comment that deserved to be deleted, but i could have sworn i saw 1 or 2 more dissapear, possible i looked in wrong spot.
I get he is not the techy - ist guy, but he was posting a good amount of videos or atleast mini updates on facebook, but it has been silent for a good while, though he still posts quite alot of other stuff ( so my butt hurt self felt like he could atleast update us lol) but you got back to us anyway, so no harm.
Six months is def a rough deadline, i am not suprised it took longer.

"They're only for you, the real deep hardcore family". That's clearly telling me that I'm not deep, or part of the hardcore family at all. So unless you're consider bacon to be a vegan dish, then your analogy is very wrong.
I've already conceded that this project wasn't for me, but I wont let it slide that I don't involve myself in the Hardcore scene "because I didn't support this project".

You're whinging for the sake whinging. It's like complaining about an event or album marketing itself only for "the real ravers", "the true hardcore" or whatever, that features nothing but generic same-sounding modern hardcore. Forget the gash music, they said I'm not really hardcore!

Pretty sure that was the only one, but I take your point.

Those public mini video updates were while we were still in the creative stage, which ended in November. There's just not much point in doing those now because we can't really show much without giving too much away. There's a nice big video update coming to the private user area right now, anyway. It's around 45 minutes long and it'll be up this evening. :)

I really enjoyed the update, one thing I've moaned about before is a bit of a lack of people talking about the old days.
I phoned Vibes the other night and he chatted at me (it's as difficult to get a word in as you'd probably imagine) for ten minutes or so and while it's correct to say there's been a lack of updates I get the feeling that when he/they say 'Call me anytime' they genuinely would answer the calls and have a chat.
Want the delay to be over but it is what it is, have faith that it's gonna be good :D
