There is only one unmixed cd and as far as I'm concerned, mob isn't over rated because I don't know anyone who even rates the guy. Maybe two discs of unmixed might bring about the possibility of something decent in full length being available but mixed for a price tag of 15 quid before postage, no thank you.

These could be great artists but I'm unfamiliar with their work (as I'm sure many people are), so why would I spend my hard earned money on CD I have no idea about? Same goes for Alex Prospect's album, or even someone like Obie!
Here's a simple solution to the fella's over at Hardcore Underground: stick all these upcoming hardcore artists with established hardcore DJ's so more people have more of a reason to buy the product. It's so simple!
Pairing new talent with established players rarely works well. Check youtube for how many classic hardcore tracks Hixxy wrote in the 90s.... Shooting Star! Field of Dreams!
As a rule, the established players fight a lot less hard when it comes to promotion. Surely that's evident by now? The Entity album doing well isn't a massive surprise; there's pent up demand and our audience are already familiar with his works. The Jaw-D album doing well is more impressive, but when you look at location and pair up online promo to sales spikes it's clear that motivation counts for something.
As it stands, both these albums are doing surprisingly well at the pre-order stage. We'll have a podcast towards the end of the month featuring tracks from these albums prominently, as well as a 2015 brochure hitting three events by year end.
After spending months on HU7, attempting to showcase the wider scene effectively, only for it to be widely ignored by the major players, I'm more keen than ever to invest time and resources in people who could be more relevant and contribute to the scene long term.

MOB has played mainstage Westfest and been around years and Alex Prospect has collabs with people like Darren Styles on his album.
These aren't unknown artists. In fact they're probably in the top 15 in hardcore.

prospects album sounds great. him with obie together at westfest was good too
man i dunno. prospect said it contains his "best uk hardcore work" honestly i dont hear his best work or uk hardcore. too bad he put all the big room material and not the better sounding stuff he used to make... that still wasnt uk hardcore.

To be honest i've heard hardly any alex prospect but i listened to the teasers on soundcloud and it sounds positively MOB which is a bad thing! Seriously it's boring big room stuff that could have come from any of those guys that make that trash. At least with gammer and styles stuff, it stands out and Unknown, well he goes to great lengths to make sure his stuff stands out (not in a good way). I know in this genre artists can sound like eachother but for gods sake, at least make it sound good. i know it may sound like i'm bitching but i really didn't expect prospect to be so mainstream orientated, it's disappointing.
