I noticed this yesterday. Annoying, as I was wanting to download a few of them mixes over at hotmix. I'm ambivalent about their reasons: the resurgence of electro/new wave/italo type stuff is no different to all other music in that most of its rubbish (I mean Italo itself has got a pretty bad quality ratio) and the hotmix/clone/viewlexx stuff tends be the good stuff for me. And although the Electroclash thing can be overblown, people with peaked haircuts are fairly benign. All the media hype doesn't stop anyone from getting on doing their own thing, really. Still, I clearly don't know Hotmix et al's reasons. Maybe they just don't want to be part of the Spectacle, or some such thing. I hope they still make records, though Viewlexx has stopped.
