Lightning Records (Bonzai etc...) Closes down

The Belgium Office (Lightning) has went into liquidation. Unfortunatley everything is a bit up in the air at the moment. UK Bonzai are in talks to continue going.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The End Of Lightning Records

TRANCE.NU -- It�s official. One of the most popular record companies that hold sublabels such as Bonzai has decided to put an end to their long reign.

Just a while ago Lightning Records celebrated their 10th anniversary. Going back further in time than most companies Lightning held a strong roster of sublabels and artists that have kept the scene alive for over a decade. According to their website, http://www.lightningrecords.be, the era now has come to an end.

As Lightning goes down there is still hope that the most popular sublabels will be picked up and kept alive to ensure that the clubbers get their fair share of quality material. Trance.nu have contacted Lightning Records officials and will get back with more information. For the ones that are eager to find out yourself please subscribe to their mailinglist on http://www.lightningrecords.be

The official statement from Lightning Records reads:
�2003-03-04 � The End Of Lightning Records: THE END OF LIGHTNING� Lightning Records will be closed as of tomorrow, no holidays, unfortunately..�

--------------------------------------------------------------------

MIKE's official statement:

You proberly heared that "Lightning-records" is closed.
It was my home for many years,and with lots of pain and sorrow it's an end of an era.
As we all know Lightning suffered from low CD sales,getting attacked by MP3 downloading,and sales droping all over.
It's a sad day and a loss of a monumentary...
but every END is a new START...
And hopefully also for the Lightning crew.
As i was part of that crew,i will go my own way.
But one thing is for sure...
M.I.K.E. will be back,and more than ever!!!
First of all getting up and running SCANNER records
the next couple of weeks.
But there is more good news on the way...
Be ready for the new PUSH,PLASTIC BOY,M.I.K.E.soon.
The only thing i can say is thanks for the support for many many years.
Let's go for a better future and music will guide your way...
R.E.S.P.E.C.T. Mike

It was up on i:Vibes slightly before t.nu, and the people on here knew about it before them too.

Also no need to be rude, that's a good comeback but wasn't needed in the cirumstances, surely you'd seen that there was threads already, unless u were having too much ass eating
