as much as I loved the early bonkers and still do, I do have one fav mix and it was Vibes on Bonkers 6. Clubland Xtreme Hardcore was too much competition I guess even though it was under the same label. The brand clubland was bigger than the brand Bonkers. I really didn't Like Bonkers 7 it was far too trancey for me and then it had good releases and okish releases. for me, the first 6 bonkers albums would always be the best but nothing is produced in that sound now that is popular anymore.

It would be great to see a new hardcore album out and about that is ran by a label who aren't just interested in brands bringing them cash. I know there are labels out there that are trying but nothing has quite felt as special as a bonkers album for me. I guess it was the variety of tracks used by DJ's who didn't just stick to what their label produced that year.
I think a close second in the great hardcore albums were the hardcore heaven albums and I mean the original ones in the days of Vinylgroover etc.
I respect how Billy Bunter etc are doing oldskool albums and one offs but in all seriousness I have the tracks either as singles, mp3s or already used in various "albums" so its nothing special again and that is also why I don't think they should re release bonkers albums, it will just be cashing in on the brand and nothing special even if it was an oldskool album etc.
But as I said, if an album with various artists and various labels were mixed up, I would be interested but not as a Bonkers.

yeah and became a much bigger brand. It's why they stuck with anything under the name "Clubland" and Bonkers just became a memory

I won't lie, as someone who tried to do representive albums for years, and pioneered the mix and single model, I'm sad that didn't register. Go buy hhu, rehab and hh1, (2016).

I retired my CDs to the loft, not before I had MP3'd them and also loaded them into itunes! I will still have those CDS (and Bonkers 2 vinyl) when I die :)

Just had a blast through some of these, hardcore has gone to the dogs with a few exceptions!

Should it ever come back, a Fracus & Darwin Bonkers CD is a MUST! Get Thumpa to do a classics disc and Scott Brown to do his usual and it would be a winner!
