Life happens, but in a scene / community where so many people are trying to break through and "make it", doesn't it seem strange when producers at the top of their game or on the rise just disappear or jack it in? I mean, not just retiring after a good stretch. Some people like to retire at the top of their game, like Tarantino apparently only wants to make 10 films.
Let's see some of the artists and a tune of theirs, who are not producing or dj-ing anymore, and add some info if you know what they went on to do these days. And we all know what Zinc, Clipz and Mistabishi are up to! I'll start with a handful...
Baron - went on to produce video game soundtracks.
Crystal Clear - last I heard he was in the dubstep or grime game? Pretty sure I saw his name to do with something on a Kiss show
Started to worry about Cabbie for a while too, but he had something on G13 a little while back.
Pleasure - I believe is a family man now. Maybe @DJESCAPE could confirm? Or be an active assistance in this thread please
E.S. - I think Escape said he became a personal trainer? Had a few dubs like All Over The Place, Go and another that Hazard was battering before he disappeared. Used to rinse this and Robin
Mode - not sure, but would like to know what happened to him as he had an EP lined up for Cylon a while ago that never got released. I think @tyranny might know a bit about this
There's also some producers who were old sparing partners for producers who went on to make it on their own, and didn't really do much else after, like Nicol (of Majistrate fame), Recipe made tunes with Tyke, and Malachi made tunes with Voltage under the name Cabin Fever.
I think @Large Marge @Dagz and @Vydx could help shed some light on some others
