On the vinyl front, Flashpoint continues to sign only the best releases from established artists and also up and coming talent. After 4 years the FPR crew knows precsiely what it takes to be a FPR vinyl. Marc Johnson, who has close to a hundred releases and remixes of his own and is right at the top of the Hard House elite DJs, says "We are proud of the upcoming schedule which will be announced soon, it shows that we are commited to sticking to our guns and releasing top quality material at the harder end of hard house and will continue to do so throughout 2007". Whoever said vinyl is dead is probably wishing they kept their mouths shut! As far as downloads go Flashpoint Digital continues to lead the way with consistently hard hitting digital exclusives. The release schedule is such that Marc & Jupe expect to have a new release every week thru Christmas. The decision to go digital was taken by Marc & Jupe several years ago, and they went big. When other labels were just releasing the vinyl releases, Flashpoint created it's own Digital arm which signed exclusive digital releases of the same quality while also releasing the vinyl tracks that have done the damage in the clubs. The FPR lads have made the decision to consistently offer their core website following exclusive downloads, so be sure to register your email and visit the digital shop at flashpointrecords.co.uk. The website is one area that Marc & Jupe have left in touched for years for many reasons, but they decided at the end of 06 that the time was now to start planning. So after 5 months, many hours of programming from the crew at Artifical Studio in Cape Town, and a few bugs in the system, the brand spanking new flashpointrecords.co.uk will launch officially March 1st. For the first 100 who register their email at the website, Marc & Jupe are giving an exclusive mix containing some of the finest FPR releases so don't delay! The forums are already buzzing although they cannot be reached through the holding page so visit http://flashpointrecords.co.uk/phpBB2/ and join in the fun! Flashpoint clothing is the latest venture for the two FPR owners, responding to demand from fans and also to Marc & Jupe's determination to push boundaries. Working with the same talented designer in New Zealand who brought the world the distinctive flashpoint ball logo the designs are amassing and the launch date moves ever closer. Although this project is under tight security and no designs have been made public, you can be rest assured that this new project will once again blow people away. Jupe says "We started our clothing expedition two years ago with a simple t-shirt design, and the success of that combined with the FPR brand gaining such international recognition we decided to expand our horizons a little and see what happens! We've never shyed away from trying new things and this is something we feel is really going to be big."
