This has probably been asked before but I wanted to know what people thought:
Question 1: What do you think of MCs during live HHC sets?
a. Love em'!
b. I wish they would shut the f**k up!
c. What's an MC?
Question 2: What do you think of scratching and sampling during HHC sets?
a. HHC sets without scratching are just not complete
b. I never wanna hear a "HA HA" sample ever again in my life.
c. What's scratching?

Microphone Controllers and HappyHardcore DONT go together. Leave that sht to garage musik keep hardcore without the 'whistle possy' and the 'hardcore family u r wkd' It wrecks the toonz and fuks me off!!
Some Scratchin is ok deependin on the song, If the song has boring bits in it E.G Shooting star (Ham Remix) Then U should scratch as Sy does loadza times!
I don't wanna see any of you walkin', U'd betta be runnin'. . .

I personally don't really like MC's during hardcore sets...atleast not a whole lot of it...it tends to annoy me..maybe a phrase or 2 during the set isn't too bad..but i've seen some MC's go WAY overboard and it just over powers the music and makes me wanna yell mean things...and that's not a good sign!
Scratching on the other hand. I love it!..Not sure why...But it always seems to make me happy. And I always hear the crowd get into the music a little more when you see/hear a DJ start to scratch...

i agree with jaide, mc's get anoying, a little bit is awesome, but usually u can't udnerstand a word they say so it doesn't matter. but scratching, if timed right and dun right, kicks ass=)

I think some MC's really add to the music, usually ones that don't say too much, such as Ribbz and Robbie Dee, they just keep the crowd going and make sure a good time is being had by all, on the other hand some really are just annoying.
Some scratching is good, if it's done well, such as Sy, but some DJ's mixing suffers because of it, naming no names (Hixxy), through lack of time to get the next track ready, and I think the mixing is more important to the set.
Well, that's my opinion anyway.
Would Tommy Kirkwood, and Lynne come to the surge tent out front immediately, this is proper urgent.

i always fort mc was master of ceromony, I think Mc's add to the atmosphere and even on cd's and tape packs i love to hear em, especially sharkey, storm and live lee ( when vibes does a set its average unles she canes classix live lee adds thats umfink 2 him IMO ). I think mc's shud have intelligent but short thinsg 2 say after a bit teh mc's constantly shouting whistle posse bloooooooowwwwwwww evry 5 misn does get a lil' iritating but doen properly it is a bonus to any hhc set.
Like a bolt of lightning it's so frightning..Get ur brain now we're igniting

for the most part i feel mc's should shut up and let the music do the talking. but the occasional input from mc's are nice, especially funny shit =P
scratching is the same thing, when used too much - annoying. i've heard stomping sets w/o scratching. i've also heard sets that were ruined by scratching.

Luv a DJ who can scratch and nows when to scratch. As for the MC, coming from Australia I don't mine the accent of the UK MC's and there is not that much MCing in Sydney.

I don't mind MC's as long as they know that they have to MC in small amounts otherwise it just pisses me off espically we I am DJing and please please don't keep stopping the music and doing rewinds to say something stupid.

MC's are very important IMO. Otherwise ravin would just be like goin to a club and most people would stop dancin and not be hyped all night. However the MC does have to be a good one, a bad MC will ruin an event.

I've only had an MC once, it wasn't too bad. He only had me stop once, it was kind of neat. But from experience I don't really need an MC to hype the crowd.
Scratching is great, if the dj can do it right and at the right points. During breakdown's I think is a prime time.. or during some boring bits. You can really add to a song by doing scratching/sample rhythms, its like adding additional production to the track right on the spot.
Sy was a huge influence to me as far as scratching techniques go. When I heard him doing scratching overtop of a mix I was blown away. I was even more blown away when I had the chance to use three deck's and do this for myself. What a ruuuush! :)
So it seems to be that the final conclusion is to not overdue it. This goes for both the MC & the dj doing the scratching. :)
peace,
barrett
