The label was temporarily closed down in late 2010, though its name was still mentioned in live events; in early 2012, a note on the website mentioned that new artists would have been recruited throughout the [[SOUND VOLTEX Information|SOUND VOLTEX]] FLOOR contests. This eventually happened at the JAEPO 2014 event; other than the label being revived, a new group was formed, called ''beatnation RHYZE'', consisting of experienced artists who extensively participated in the SOUND VOLTEX FLOOR contests and as well as new artists that have been regularly appearing in other BEMANI games. | The label was temporarily closed down in late 2010, though its name was still mentioned in live events; in early 2012, a note on the website mentioned that new artists would have been recruited throughout the [[SOUND VOLTEX Information|SOUND VOLTEX]] FLOOR contests.

While the brand still appears before the title screen in beatmania IIDX and SOUND VOLTEX, and the commissioned RHYZE members have made references to the label in their song comments on beatmania IIDX song pages, all activities involving the group have ceased. The last mention of the brand in-game appeared in the song comments for [[AC SINOBUZ|beatmania IIDX 24 SINOBUZ]] song [[crew]], which was composed, arranged, and remixed by all seven members of the original beatnation Records group. | ||
