Re: Hooj back from the dead?!
this might be the best news this music scene has had in several years. Seems like after they went down things started to change in the scene. It is almost a close coinsidence that after that label died Prog started its slow trek into the abyss of the "that song is so last year" sayingGreatly rejoicing in following God as a freedom not a choice.Comment

Re: Hooj back from the dead?!
Who bought out hooj choons again? or at least their back catalogue? I remember reading this once and am just wondering who's really behind this "reopening"."Work like you don't need the money.

Re: Hooj back from the dead?!
Good news if its still Red Jerry and the crew behind the label. I'd hate for someone to restart the label without the experience of the original Hooj crew.Never interrupt your enemy when he's making a mistake - Napoleon BonaparteComment

Deeper Shades of Hooj was my earliest brush with the label and I've been a fan since

Re: Hooj back from the dead?!
The label is owned by John Pitcher who bought the rights to the catalogue when it folded. Other labels he owns are Lost Language / Airtight / Primal Recordings / Solaris Recordings and of course the now ceased City 16 site.
One thing to note - these remixes came out on Release Records last year and the ambient mix is from 2000 and was featured on one of Red Jerry's Chilled Euphoria compilations.Comment

Re: Hooj back from the dead?!
awesome news...I think they just couldn't feel like they could compete when the digital revolution started coming around...problem may be IMO the amount of money made compared to where they were. Now, you *can* still do relatively well in MP3 releasings if you do it right and understand the money isn't quite as much as it used to be when releasing vinyl. If they can put their names on some sponsorships for events as well, THAT will still go a long way in things.
If they can come back and be viable, well...welcome back!FM
