Explanation:

After starting life as the nuenergy.co.uk store in 1998, we are saddened to announce the closure of our more recently developed digital store www.hardbeatsdownload.com. The closure is directly linked to a number of significant development problems that remain unresolved. This decision has been taken with great regret and arises from circumstances which unfortunately are entirely beyond our control. We hope that all of our loyal customers will understand this decision and accept our thanks and gratitude for all of their kind and faithful support.
 
Positive Focus:

For the remainder of this month we would like to celebrate the great things the store and its partner labels have achieved alongside each other. The store has had a big hand in representing the Nu Energy Collective as a record label and has become the home of Freeform music to people across the globe. The Freeform movement has taken a new and exciting turn this turn this year with the Hard Beats Collective launching new labels like Stamina, Watchtower, A-Tech and many more to the fold. This movement has been so successful that the very first 'I Love Hard Beats' event in London was so busy it looked like a well-respected long running night! The artists and labels of the Hard Beats Collective are all working extremely hard to represent the underground sounds of rave and they will continue to do so by selling their music through all the other renowned download stores such as Track It Down, Juno, Beatport, i-Tunes and many more. So let’s remember the past with a smile and embrace the future with a positive outlook. You can join the Hardbeats Collective on Facebook here: http://www.facebook.com/hardbeatscollective
