There's lots of talk of Makina on Ultimatebuzz.net and also Scouse House, what are they?

From the mid 90's to early 2000, the main music force driving the Northeast scene was happy hardcore.. played in some of the biggest and best known clubs such as The Colosseum, Afterdark and Powerhouse. At the end of this period Makina started to take over which was a brand new sound imported from Spain, taking the Scene by storm and ever since has been a big hit throughout the Northeast. However, with the death of Makina almost on the horizon there's a battle on for the next biggest thing, which alot of people are quoting as Scouse House, more than anything else. For those foreigners or those with their head in the sand, Scouse House originates from Liverpool and has proved to be a BIG success recently, with numerous clubs cropping up around the Region. Its a bit of a step from Makina, but cant be too much different from the step from Happy Hardcore to Makina. It's not for 1 person to decide what music style becomes the next big fasion, but the ravers themselves... so only time will tell... Watch this space...

What is Ultimatebuzz.net?

If you've made it this far into the site you probably already know, but for those still curious Ultimatebuzz.net was started as a way of keeping the Northeast up to date and in touch with whats happening in the music scene today. And also a way of treasuring memories of past. You'll not find a bigger site with the ammount of free information and resources that Ultimatebuzz has, specifically for the Northeast! Whether it's photos, information from the Forum, flyers from 10 years ago or the latest choon gracing the venues around the region. Quite Simply: Ultimatebuzz.net was put together by the ravers for the ravers!

What are the links on the left hand side for?

Ultimatebuzz.net has always aimed to be a free website for everyone, because of these links we are able to make sure it stays that way and never becomes a members only website! However, we will always ensure that Ultimatebuzz.net stays pop up free and never uses any dodgy advertising to trick you. If you think you've been duped in anyway, send us an email by using the contact page here

Why do i have to give my age on the contact us page?

Ultimatebuzz sends out newsletters and emails every once and a while and depending on your age will depend on what events we advertise or what promotional material is included, whether its the Hangar 13 Over 18s at the boat or the Powerhouse Under 18s at Redcar, your age helps us filter our emails and not bombard you with stuff you dont need to know!

Why can i only see part of Ultimatebuzz on my computer monitor and why do i have to scroll left to right to read everything?

Dont worry this is not a problem with cataracts in your eyes, but a simple resolution issue with your monitor that is easy to put right. Simply right click onto a blank area on your desktop and choose properties > click on settings > then slide the screen resolution bar to the right so it reads 1024 by 768. Volia!

What the score with your .mp3s?

Ultimatebuzz would like to make it clear we have never or never will list any chart or commercial mainstreme music what so ever. We list the .mp3s solely for the use for DJs as an online catalog of choons available to buy from the producers and manufactures. If you see a choon you like, do a search for the name on the internet [here] or look on ebay and buy it. We do NOT encourage or promote white lables or bootlegs as they are illegal. We are happy to say that over the years we have massively helped and influenced the spanish music in the Northeast along with some of the other big names by pushing and promoting the music through the website. So massive thanks and respect to the people who have made it all possible.

Why do i need to sign up to the Forum?

Its a way of controlling it to avoid hundreds of people coming on and leaving violent, rasist and pointless messages, and being able to ban them easily. With registrations, not only are you able to send and recieve instant messages just like MSN Messengar © and talk to 1000's of Northeast people but you are able to listen to tons more audio, find out detailed info about up coming events, add your own mixes and upload your profile pictures & photos + loads more!

Why cant i see the videos?

Most of the videos are in .WMV format which is Microsoft Windows Media Video, which is viewed in Media Player. However because we use a built in player you shouldn't need to install anything. But just in case you have a problem viewing the videos then you can try installing the free player. [Go to the Microsoft site here]
