Well that was a ride, wasn't it? I can't believe it is over - it feels so long ago, but also like yesterday that collins303 pinged me this email of some Jimmy Brayks guy that needed help with a radio and forum thing. The last 48 hours of NSB were some of the best days of my life - reading how much NSB and its music meant to listeners and the happiness our station, events and community brought you. Lots of great achievements and it's all thanks to you, listeners, DJs, forum members and ultimately breaks music lovers. We've hosted parties at festivals like Glade, all over London, all over the UK, the World - Miami, Sydney, Paris, Peckham. It's been funny, sad, tough, a disaster financially, it's ruined relationships, I've missed important dinners and occasions, but it's been worth it and I wouldn't change anything (well, OK, maybe a few things.) but we've done so much and created so much from nothing.ħ,000+ days of streaming audio, thousands of hours of MP3s, 25,000+ forum members, nearly 2 Million forum posts, a BBC Radio 1 People's Choice award, at least 5 (I think) Breakspoll awards (so we can safely NSB Radio was the best breakbeat radio station in the world).
I'm gonna miss the 3am messages telling me that the radio is down, or the hundreds of emails per week that I have managed to ignore for 20 years. I'm gonna miss chatting shit / arguing on the internet while my girlfriend / friends / family wonder what I'm doing. NSB forum started around the year 2000, so over half my life NSB has been part of me, and for the last 18 years NSB Radio has been the soundtrack to my life. But I need to be thankful for the many awesome people I've met through NSB, who I've created lifelong friendships with, and who I've had great times all over the world with, thanks to breaks. I'm so, so sad that I am closing off such a large part of my life.
