You won't find any support for that here. You can pay for music at the following sites
http://www.hardcoreunderground.co.uk
http://www.beatport.com
https://www.trackitdown.net/
If you can't afford to buy anything you can get endless free mixes and tracks from http://hardcorehighlights.com/ and http://soundcloud.com
There's a newish released album from Future State Hardcore @ http://www.futurestatehardcorevol1.info/ and Ken Masters & Happyhardcore.com's previous project - http://www.ppf2014.info/
This scene is small and needs our support, your subscription to that site didn't reach the pockets of the people that make the music and keep our scene going. We've all probably done a bit of piracy but now is the time (dyswidt?) that support is needed, and if you don't have any money, you can support in other ways - share the free mixes/tracks/projects with your friends on social media etc.

Is there something about having the first name 'Olly' which means you have to be controversial on the internet?

Just a matter of fact. Hardcore will be a little weaker for losing Soundarea. Despite it's 'damage' (how much money does anyone lose when each track barely makes ?20 anyway), it was still a medium for people to discover and hear the music.

A little weaker? Highly doubt it will make any difference. Any support hardcore had from SoundArea are from ears that never mattered in the first place. If they couldn't afford to buy a few tracks, or even an album, then they wouldn't afford to drag themselves off their fat asses to go and buy a ticket to attend an event, which is where the real money in hardcore is.

I agree, never heard of soundarea before now but...
my whole hardcore collection i have now (which is quite extensive) is based on illegally recording force & styles from radio 1 when they did their essential mix in 1996.
you can make a positive from a negative

Correct, it might not be a pretty truth but it's exposure to people who might simply not be able to afford tracks. Try telling a kid he must only download freebies and mixes, when he wants the latest Scott Brown or Gammer tracks. He only gets a few quid pocket money a week, no paypal account or anything. Sure it's different for a full time worker who can afford a few quid and should know better of course.
And it goes without saying, I'm not suggesting it's alright - but it's sometimes the only way people will stumble upon the music. You just have to hope they like the music enough to support it.
And yes I'm aware of the vast amount of free tracks and mixes available.

I came in through Limewire. I'm certain that my Contribution outweighs what I took.
I don't inject much money into Hardcore anyway. I haven't bought anything from new in about 6 months, and the vast majority (about 95%) of my Hardcore CDs are second hand. Cash Converters has my cash, but that's because I have a brain and try to spend as little as possible. But does that mean I don't matter?

I didnt make things clear before... I have a large collection of hardcore albums all bought on day one, But soundarea had the free music of the not so well known artists on there as their way of showing off work to the masses, Its a great loss that this website is no longer available, Anyone can find "clubland xtreme dubcore 7" on any ******* site, Soundarea was a music sharing site not a piracy site.
