About
Nu Energy Recordings started at the back end of 1998 as an outlet for Kevin Energy's tracks that he had produced for Sharkey's mix on a Bonkers album. The initial start for Nu Energy was quite slow as the Hardcore scene went through a tough time when it had dug itself a hole and incurred a bad reputation for very similar sounding rip off music. Because of licensing from Sharkey to Bonkers, Kevin was able to continue releasing 12" records to the masses through the label and gradually more and more artists came on board and the sound certainly proved its worth. The rave scene drowned itself with run of the mill love song infused Hardcore tracks that dominated for a long period & ravers opened to new directions and ideas at a time where the Hard House & Trance scene got harder and harder. This is where Kevin Energy & his Nu Energy label were instrumental in helping the scene move away from the dire sounds of the past. The present bares a new sound of Hardcore & Freeform which covers all aspects of Hard Dance including elements of Trance, Acid, Techno, Hard House, Breaks and Drum & Bass. The ultimate goal of the Freeform sound has always been to produce whatever came to mind. A real "Go with the flow" attitude, open to any influences. Nu Energy is Kevin Energy's longest running label that also acts as the main label of the Nu Energy Label Collective, a group of labels dedicated to the furthering of the Hard Dance scene that Nu Energy either directly control the manufacturing of, or control exclusively in it's entirety.
