Hooj Choons Are Back!
Ladies & Gents,
I am thrilled to quote from the HOOJ website:
"You can't keep a good label down. After a 3 year hiatus Hooj Choons has announced a full scale return in early 2007. As a taster for the first fully new releases we present some exclusive new mixes and unreleased material. HOOJ137 to HOOJ142 will be exclusively available 1 per week from Mid October 2006. First up (rather appropriately) is Medway - Resurrection."
This classic label excelled in the golden years ('98-'99) of trance with anthems from Energy 52, Three Drives, Solar Stone, Katcha and Lost Tribe.
This is damn good news to me, I held this label in such high regard and was deeply cut back when it announce its departure!
Feel free to post to show your appreciation and support!

Well im just going out for a pint to celerate, and give the missus a good seeing to. Its gonna be HOOOOOOJ!! 
OMFG this is awesome!!!!
my alltime fav lable.
<------ has been my avatar on all forums for years.
also my favourite clubbing/raving t-shirt is a HOOJ t-shirt
fookin good news!!
Cool, love this label. But I don't think many of the artists they had are still around or they have other labels, like Solar Stone with their own Deep Blue. I don't know what happened to Salt Tank, but they were great. There will probably be a new slew of artists, and an oppurtunity for those who haven't gotten signed to potentionally get signed on this label. Looking foward to some really cool progessive house and progressive trance.
niceone, i hope tho with 137 being a re-release of the 2005 remixes of the medway track on release elements, that the others are just going to be re-releases+ added remixes.
this is hooj...
how many months before Cafe Del Mar 2007 ?
haha no seriously: I hope they will not try to compete with the ASOT sound or worse yet: try to "ressurrect" the trance sound from 97-98 with countless re-releases.
They should keep with their progressive-edge. And by that I dont neccessarily mean the music style but rather innovation.
Can't wait for their chOOns! 
this has just totally made my day!!!
i think i just cummed a little.

I'm not getting my hopes up for anything fantastic yet, they've certainly got a lot to live up to which might be somewhat of a burden.
A great label.
Towards the end though, some of there releases were a bit flat, dull and un-intresting.
Lets hope they re-start on top form.
Hooj never really left, sure the label went kapoot but the guys behind Hooj still ran the resurrected bits and still do. I think it's a little too late for a comeback, given the state trance is in today.

Thing is, as an artist it would make me think twice about signing to Hooj because frankly when it went down, there were a lot of disgruntled producers who lost money. There'd be atleast doubt there, if it happened before it could happen again, considering dance music is in a worse shape today than when Hooj went down.
