With the HU brand giving other artists airtime on the HU podcast, is it likely that one or both (Fracus and Darwin) will split and join the FutureWorld camp? Or drop the HU brand all together?
I definitely hope not, and hope that the HU brand lives to stand alone as something that pushes the underground side of the scene.

in b4 CDJay... I think there is literally **** all chance of that happening. There's no incentive, HU are proving themselves time and time again that they can release products of amazing quality, put on amazing nights, help new talent and even assist FW artists release things that FW can't/won't.
Sharing the podcast with music from other labels is all part of seeing the bigger picture and promoting a more healthy scene, a healthier scene means more ravers, more sales and more new music. It's a shame that the other big names don't really follow suit because it really would lead to a much more positive situation.
HU leads the way, make no mistake!

LMFAO NEVER!!!
Both Fracus and Darwin developed alongside the label and all of them have grown stronger because of it. They are majorly loyal, and with good reason. They get to produce the music they want with little to no restrictions. They would not have that same artistic freedom at Futureworld. It's pretty obvious that label releases music that have such a recycled sound.
And HU has always been about working and collaborating with other labels, so it's no surprise that their podcast reflects that. They don't shy away from showcasing tracks from Futureworld, Klubbed Up, Notorious, Lethal Theory, Stamina, and of course their own label. And everything album they release reflects that as well.

Shimamura and MC Stone are both HU affiliated artists.
Fracus is co owner of HU. Their U.S work visa is as a duo.
Draw your own conclusions

Thought the question was going to be...
'With the HU brand giving other labels/artists airtime on the podcasts, will any of the numerous self-serving brands pull their head out of their own (and a select few others' arses) and reciprocate for the good of a scene which is badly in need of some unity'?
Either way, the answer is no.

Right? Fracus and Darwin leaving HU for Futureworld would be like Breeze leaving Futureworld for HU.

I wouldn't say it was a stupid question, mate. If you've only been in to hardcore for 5 years or so, I'd probably say 'yeah, stupid question'. But we've all seen what's happened to the original Essential Platinum, Uproar, Raver Baby and the like in the past.
I'm well behind the HU brand and would defend it to the hilt. From the outside looking in, it seems to be snowballing and doing more than enough to support itself so it's all gravy.
I honestly never thought D&G would drop EP. I think the same with F&D and HU so I wanted to explore it. If you're curious about things within the scene, where better to ask around?!

Considering Fracus is a financial partner in Hardcore Underground I highly doubt that.
