We always managed to get some sort of meetup goin' on, look forward to meeting you, paul!
I should probably start looking for my mobile phone...if I start now there is a small chance it will have turned up by the time the event swings around!

Afraid not! I would be if I weren't at a wedding the Saturday! I've been to all the London HUs (I think) so it's a shame to miss out on this one.
Good weekend that, though - England-Peru, HU and Froch-Groves.

It's not like it's your wedding you have to go to. Besides, this is on a Friday night. So it's definitely doable for you!

This is true! There's nothing wrong turning up to a wedding half-cut, it's just the travelling.
The album sounds quite interesting and I'll definitely purchase it one way or another. The way I've interpreted it, the end result will be something similar to the Breakbeat Kaos album by Adam F, Fresh & GQ. Is that right? Only, the HU album will be mixed live at the event, I can see.

We will be going into more detail as time goes on but I'll tease a few bits now
First off: Craigavon raver.... you *might* go! It's going to be life-affirming stuff. Midlands, easy to access, and we're moving mountains in order to make attending a viable option for those further afield. The location, proximity to airports, nearby accommodation etc all factored in from the off.
The CD will *absolutely* be available separately. Whilst we're really, really keen on incentivising a truly international base of interested types to attend there will be those who fundamentally cannot attend for a variety of reasons. This is being done very much like a "normal" HU album, in terms of compiling, mastering and prep. The notable difference is, of course, that this will be mixed live in front of an audience whereas previous volumes were done in sequencers or from CDJs. Which leads us to....
The CDs will have "hosts" and crowd noise. "This is just like a CD pack!" I hear cried? Thankfully no, not really. This is intended as a fusion of the better aspects of each into something relatively unique in genre. Each aspect will be captured as a separate stem; the "mix" will be kept in the digital domain through the mixer whilst the host will run through a decent A/D before being captured "raw". Same for crowd noise. These parts will be later brought together as fastidiously as one would hope for the final mastered album mixes.
Another difference is that as these mixes will be compiled, structured and planned over the next few months is the opportunity for the hosts to be more involved in the process. The last thing we want is a "typical" MC set, and I'm entirely aware some people would rather there were no MCs over the music at all. Albums usually give the opportunity for DJ/Producers to showcase their craft and this is an effort to afford the same to MCs who want to do something new and involved. It's safe to say that compared to the norm these will be pared back performances, but hopefully all the better for it. The current plan is to have 2 mixes with sparse and tightly integrated hosting and 2 mixes with a more standard feel.
Even if none of that convinces you, I'm sure you've seen us allude to the intention to "bridge" the CD vs Digital album divide. This is a perfect opportunity. By purchasing the CD album we intend to supply digital "rights" on our store to grab a version with just the mix. This will only be available with the purchase of the physical product.
The dream is to capture the quality of a studio album, with the magic and energy of a live performance. It's certainly unproven. We'll go the extra mile to shore up the odds
The venue is awesome, and the plans we have for it are similarly awesome. What's really needed is a truly engaged crowd and that, you superior specimens, is where you come in! I'm excited. Scared, granted, but excited. It feels very HU1-ey in terms of aspiration and operating outside our comfort zone.

Oh believe you me, there nothing more I would love than to attend this! the line-up is awesome! and actually buzzing at the cd project to! but i have to go to Portugal shortly after for 2 weeks for her brothers wedding, and before that i have her nephews communion, plus the fact that she would try and kill me if i tried to go to this haha so i would think it would be safe to say that unfortunately i won't be attending this
And is vibes mixing hhu then? looks like i was right after all?

Sadly after much thought I have to pass on this. For one I definitely won't be financially ready for this. I can't just fly 5000 miles for a weekend and fly back I have to make it count and spend at least a week or two weeks there. Have to get my money's and time worth and I just cannot afford that atm.
And I did promise a friend from Canada that we will be going to Raver's Ibiza wheb the event was first announced. I won't be able to do both events, on top of me going to Arizona for a weekend next month.
Perhaps if there is a Hardcore Underground event the weekend before or after Raver's Ibiza I can totally make that! Or even if it's 2 weekends after the last weekend of Raver's Ibiza I may be able to do 3 weeks in Europe by that time. That would be ideal, since I could make a weekend stop to Dortmund for Syndicate in between events!
