Anyone off here going to this? Last year was fat, was only there 12 hours but it was insane, free drink and loud music go so well together!

They've announced the Wednesday lineup, looks really good!

Unfortunately not this year. Gutted! |

Da Tweekaz? That one is a bit of a surprise.
For the first night that a great variety. With DS and Gammer kicking off the event there will certainly be a large crowd. I'm guessing that's both DS and maybe Gammer's only set for the event if they're both doing EDC, which I think falls on that weekend. |

It seems like TWR's promoting some sort of connection between hardstyle and UKHC, so I guess it's not too far-fetched. |

Would assume so. I'm actually in Vegas on EDC weekend by sheer coincidence, but it's not feasible to go due to the fact that you can only buy tickets for the whole weekend and they cost a fortune. If I was going I'd only want to go for one night seeing as my time in Vegas is limited. Robbing bastards! |

Right now only full weekend passes are available. I think eventually 1-day passes go on sale. Or maybe they already went on sale and sold out but I can't imagine them doing that without the release of a lineup and days they play. |

Pretty sure I read on the official website that 1 day passes won't be available at any time. Seems like they're very strict about it as 3 day passes can't even be transferred.

Sorry to hear that. About the baby. Goddamn vampires just suck the life out of you.
Anyways, a 2nd night of lineups has been released! Tuesday's Old Skool Til I Die's lineup is up. Odd that they're not releasing the lineup in order.
OMFG DJ SY IS BACK!!!!!!!! Let's hope no loudmouth cunt MCs throw a huge shitfit over it. And if they do, it's only fair that they get dumped if they're responsible for Sy backing down.

After last year's balls up, are Vibes & Livelee confirmed this time? ;-) |

I almost forgot about that scandal haha |
| firefly_NZ |
Yup, me and the Mrs are flying over from New Zealand for this (+ a 4 week holiday afterwards!)
Seriously can't wait for this, it's like a dream come true :D |
| Samination |
wait, Sy and MC Storm, in the same place? |

By the looks of it Sy might be there just on Tuesday for the boat party and the night event. Storm doesn't even appear anywhere on the lineups for the day.
So perhaps Storm will fly in Wednesday and Sy will fly out that same day, so there's less of a chance of any type of animosity between them. Unless of course MC Storm and/or Sy are there that Monday. The whole event starts Monday but a lineup for that day has yet to be released. |
| Claxton |
I think that Livelee was trying to be big and clever in front of the GTYM crew last year who he had allegence too and got made to look very silly when last year's event was HUGE and HTID pretty much took off again. Also, HTID & RR are now on good terms again.
It's nice to see Sy back on the line-up. Last time they did it at Megarave it appeared as though quite a few artists took objection to it and refused to play. I'm assuming that this won't be the case this time.
This is the problem with social media: peoole say things which can publicly be seen and then never taken back. Although people seem to have very short memories in this scene. Someone who will be directly working with SY here was more than publicly scathing about him. Awkward.
Some people just can't remain professional when social media is plonked in front of them.
Anyway, back to the event. It looks like it is going to be bigger and better than last year. Absolutely gutted that I won't be there. |
| wong |
enemy? the bloke who moaned about people pirating his album then a few weeks later openly talking to another producer about using cracked software to make music on haha |
| The drunken scotsman |
Didn't expect to see Sy back on an HTID lineup. I'm guessing it won't be such an issue this time and Storm probably had to 'just accept it' or he wouldn't be on this lineup himself. I'm positive they won't be anywhere near each other at the event, sy will prob just be there for one night only. |
| firefly_NZ |
Imagine if it Sy & Storm made up and played a reunion set :D |

Oh they don't need a pairing like that to make them look like asshats. They're doing a swell job of that right now. |

Great to see Dj Sy back on a HTID flyer. Looks a quality line-up for that Tuesday with Vibes & Vinylgroover playing too. |
| latininxtc |
First day lineup is up! Seems like they're releasing the lineup for a new day every sunday
Looks like a good first day! I'm curious why Fracus & Darwin are booked to play the first night, and not playing somewhere in the middle of the event. Could this be their only gig? No boat party, no waterpark party? |
| djDMS |
No, rest of the line up is out sooner than that |

Yea they probably just said **** it let's release the rest now. Here are the remaining 2 days.
So yea, looks like Monday is Fracus and Darwin's only gig. And Friday's closing party for me would look a bit too dull. Thank god that drinks are free that way you can drink yourself to the point where the lineup won't matter lol |

f*ck all wrong with fridays lineup |

I'm there Monday night through Thursday morn, in a last ditch genre salvation attempt.
Alcohol and inspired interrogators welcomed; there's little left to lose and everything left to play for.

It's always such doom and gloom... sometimes I wish you were more specific about your aims.
In other news, Nu Foundation and DJ Tools arrived yesterday, going to try putting a mix together tomorrow, had a listen through so far and must say I'm impressed, good work as always :) |
| CDJay |
*curtseys*
Not being intentionally vague; same aim as 2006. Unite interested motivated factions,against a back drop of ill placed latent hero worship and wider industry apathy.
Difference now is people *might* listen

Fingers crossed :)
It'd be so good if everyone really did work together, we all know this, we all keep saying it. WHY DON'T THEY LISTEN?!

Hardcore Underground you are independent and have made great achievements, so why the need to always chase those big boys that killed off real hardcore years ago in favour of that horrible American sound.
In which gammer seems to think is happy hardcore, its all about marketing for them and trying to look young and trendy to appeal to the youth of today, old men with bad dress sense and shit taste in music, licking the ass off shitty edm producers and kanye west. |

Not really chasing anything, anymore, except catching up built in exposure and entitled stature. It's very hard to take the offroad path when there's a toll road already built alongside that everyone is already using. Even the UK side where we've trailed horrendously, is showing signs of improvement. Frankly internationally I reckon we can and will stand toe-to-toe with absolutely anything in genre.
That said, I'll still step to the bat for Gammer quite happily. I know the whole HH tag agitates people, but I maintain that "Make It If We Try" is an actual HH track with updated noises (seriously, it's more HH than 95% of the Raverbaby stuff IMO) and the Futureshock remix I'll put alongside genuine trancecore/freeform greats of the past 15+ years. I don't really get the whole "selling out to EDM" thing given that it's already happened twice with trance and scouse house, and arguably there's more bite and cheer in some of the EDM noises if used appropriately.
Doesn't mean I agree with everything he does/says, but he's still a crucial working cog in a machine that desperately needs futureproofing. When he starts being a hardcore DJ, instead of a Clubland/TWR DJ, he's capable of achieving more than anyone else and in a fraction of the time. Ironically, I'll wager negativity is likely a factor in partial non engagement.

i ****ing love make it if we try.. one of the last songs form them that gives me the real feels <3
and the futureshock remix gives me a massive boner.
i wish gammer would just do a whole freeform album; his style is wicked energetic... and he might do it subconsciously; but he sure puts alot o hardcore influence in his freeform tracks imo... more so in anything else we see nowadays |
