As we celebrate 10 years of Hardcore Underground, I thought we could do a more specific take on an earlier topic created. How did you all discover or get into the glorious label/album series that is Hardcore Underground, and what was that first experience like?
For me I discovered it on here. I was reading a topic on the first ever Hardcore Underground volume series and it was something I have never heard of, nor did I recognize any of the DJs that were involved in the project. With discovering this site I started to find more info on new tracks and new albums that I have never heard of and it resurrected my currently deteriorating interest in the genre. My interest deteriorated mainly because it took a long time to find a place like this one to discover new music and new artists.
So when I read the topic on the 1st album I decided to take a chance buy the album. The tracklist resembled nothing like any albums currently out at that time so I thought this would be a great chance to discover a lot of new material in one purchase.
So I popped in the album into my computer to listen and for the first two albums during the first run they didn't stand out to me. I think I wasn't ready to hear anything with a more serious tone considering I was heavily into more uplifting tracks from labels like Raverbaby Next Generation at the time.
So I popped in the final CD and I was confused at first because I have never heard of hardcore breaks and was wondering if I had purchased the right album lol. Once the Panacea remix of Kill Belladonna came on, the whole mix made sense to me and I instantly fell in love with it as well as the rest of the album. And at the same time I became an instant fan of Darwin :)

Are we talking about the whole label here?
Well, other than the odd (artist) albums or digital singles, I can't say I was really into the HU. I to this day still don't own any Hardcore Underground combilation (I dont believe in buying mixed albums anymore), and I mostly support the HU gang because they where RFU :P

I heard about the upcoming HU vol.1 album on here. There were some familiar names on the project like Al Storm & Druid, Kurt, Fracus, & Darwin, so I was getting pretty excited. Being in college and living off financial aid with very little work profit coming in, I had a choice at the time to either buy Hardcore Underground or Hardcore Euphoria. I went with Hardcore Euphoria since I knew what to expect.
So how did I get HU? My roommate knew I wanted it, and had secretly ordered it for me as a Christmas present the year it came out. I remember putting CD 1 in the car stereo and was just blown away! The tempo was fast! The mastering was LOUD! The tracks weren't like anything going around on the more commercial CDs; they were hard and stompy. There was cheese! There was more serious noise! I put in CD 2, and was just as equally blown away, especially when that SMD#2 remix popped on! CD 3....was difficult for me. I just wasn't a fan of the Hardcore breaks sound, so the first part of CD 3 just didn't do it for me. But then the 4-beat came back in, and all was well.

In 2007 someone said on here hardcore underground was one of the best albums from 2006. It went on from there.

I bought HU3 cheap in a Zaavi or HMV. That was my first exposure. Same with HU4 and HU5, but HU6 hasn't appeared anywhere yet. Still keeping my eyes peeled!

He's trolling. He knows exactly where he can find it and buy it. It's just his arsefudgy way of trying to get under CDJay's skin without doing it directly.

I have no idea.
Probably just followed on from my love of RFU.
I vaguely remember seeing Darwin play (maybe some kind of PA too which I need to look up to jof my memory) and meeting CDJay and Chwhynnywhynny at an event years ago.
*Edit* Think it was JAL related but still led me in the right direction

Hopefully it was the event in Birmingham with the flavoured air canisters.

I think I was on the hunt for new hardcore music while waiting for the next Clubland Hardcore album to be released, and as I liked Al Storm and Fracus I ended up buying HU2 from eBay. Didn't really appreciate it until a few years later, however at the time I liked it enough to want to get HU3 when it came out. Instantly liked HU3 and have been a fan ever since.

Hard to tell, but in these instance (or when my sis has purchased the 2nd Fracus & Darwin album was... "oh shit, need every stuff") is now epic.
It was in 2009, I was looking stuff at internet to put me up in these depression days (insist hard to tell, but you know what? bullying!). So my friend from USA has recommend me download (sorry guys) these albums. I listened only the HU3, but some bits and I'd said... "shit, this thing is epic", so kept listening. But when HU4 was released (and pirated... days later) was like a "oh shit, need this album and I don't what to do". So I deleted these rips and started to spend money to get these beauties (new or second hand copy) and search a contact or store to receive it -were hard days until... 2012 lol-.
And now, I own HU1, HU3, HU4, HU5, the F&D albums (excluding Diversions because I didn't ordered), Marc Smith's album, HU Breaks *The Good Inside spam!*, The first 3 DJ Tools and a few of limited stuff, excluding the lastests 3 EPs. And curiously I remember when I received every album, but the HU3 was so special because was my autogift of my birthday of 2013. But the rest... ****, I hyped to much xD.
