| The Doc |
well if you can't beat them  (another cover with a girl i mean)
looks good though! |
| CDJay |
It's easier to beat them when you're close to them...... ;)
I'll state this clearly right now, the artwork is not how we would have gone in an ideal world but it was actually required by vendors and indeed the album would not have come out without this concession.
Anyhey, it's a good example of what it is. Look at the necklace! Oooh! :D
CDJay |
| Meph751 |
holy shit that tracklist is absolutely immense...
i'm speechless 
|
| CrushOnHardcore |
The tracklisting looks really nice, and im serious.
Really looking forward to this!
I just..really DONT like the artwork, the artwork for HU1 was ways better..
The thing around her neck with the HU logo, you should remove that!
And with Crush On Hardcore Two coming out around the 10th, it looks like october is gonna be a real nice month for you hardcore lovers ;) |

CDJay
does this mean it will get a bigger commercial release and advertising? (I hope so for all the hard work your doing on this project) anyway its a definate purchase from me!
|
| Mad Max |
awesome
have it
tracklist looks immense
joren please dont start the cd cover debate lol (altho its not an underground approach to the cover ;-) ) |
| CDJay |
It's a trade off. Last time people moaned that they couldn't get hold of the album. Hopefully, now they can. It's all about the music, right? ;)
CDJay |
| Mad Max |
good trade off after all never bothered about covers. hardcore heaven 3 (orginal release) i love it and that is very pink indeed ;-) |
| Meph751 |
the cover is fine imo, at least it's not a slutty/suggestive position as some of the other albums have had
plus she's pretty damn good lookin if i do say so myself ;D
if it makes the album more money and allows it to reach a wider audience, who cares! if you don't like the cover, throw it out and put the cds in your own little cases with stickers on it to tell you what cd it is  haha |
| The Doc |
CD1 looks proper party time (i'll play that last) can't wait to here the Rock This Place remix, one a my favourite tunes! |
| Pope C XXIII |
That is one hell of a tracklist. It is so awesome, it makes Chuck Norris envious.
Sweet cover though (if a tad unoriginal )
Any advertising going to happen? |
| The Doc |
CD1 looks proper party time (i'll play that last) can't wait to here the Rock This Place remix, one a my favourite tunes! |
| Leto |
HOLY SHIT!
This is awesome man. I can't seem to see the artwork though. :P |
| AJSharps |
siccckkkkk been waiting long for some more info on hu2, tracklist looks sweet, love the cover even though is a bit unoriginal, the font looks like one of the MANY rave breaks albums, with slipmatt and billy, but no worries its only a cover cant wait till october! |
| CDJay |
"This is awesome man. I can't seem to see the artwork though. :P"
Confucius say: just because you HAVE to amputate a man's legs, don't expect a hug afterwards
CDJay |
| AJSharps |
but wait wheres Mauro Picotto - Iguana (Darwin Remix), back in the may updates it said that this tune was gonna be on it, imo this was a tuuuune :( |
| CDJay |
There was some confusion w/ that announcement, not all tunes were taken from HU.
Re: Iguana, we tried our best to get it properly licensed for Hardcore Adrenalin 2, but stumbled at the last hurdle.
CDJay |
| AJSharps |
oright do you know when it will be released then or on what album, or if itll be on an album? |
| CDJay |
If it can't be properly licensed, you won't see it on any album I'm afraid :(
CDJay |
| NuFoundation |
Looks amazing! (no bias, honestly :D) |
| Leto |
Now, for some reason, the artwork is showing up for me.
This is going to be so good. Thank you CDJay and everyone involved for putting together an awesome Hardcore compilation. :D
P.S. Big up to Joel for Drug Abuse!!! Wicked track! :D |

I'm lucky to have gotten it on there! It was literally a last-minute deal.
Maybe I'll finally get a damn artist medal now! lol |
| yaddam205 |
Awesome, where's the pre-order? Or mabey there is a special pre-release for HHC.com members?
Glad to see this take form. |
| bulby_g |
Looks good.
Yet another semi-nude cover though, heh. All CD's are starting to look the same! Can't believe they're literally making you do this!
Maybe she should be cuddled up to a semi-nude man to attract the female in the audience? Or are they not as stupid as the group of easily pleased males who buy a CD for some very soft porn pic's...
...Anyway, like you say "It's all about the music". Tracklist looks amazing! |
| Dj ANIL |
Brilliant design I'll be getting this CD for sure. |
| Entity |
**** me sideways! |
| darwin |
this album has something for everyone |
| kathryn |
This looks good will have to get this deffo
|
| Mr igloo |
I really can't wait. This is going to be such a great album :) |

It's interesting they are making you do this. What was the last bonkers to have a similarly clothed female on the cover? |
| dj_deano |
Wont be going into a store to buy this one, strictly online. Cover is embarrassing, however tracklisting is fantastic.
That bird has a tache. |
| av3nger |
I don't believe that it's real... it must a dream.... I always wanted CDs mixed by Fracus and there is one :) Awesome!!! I can't wait until October 15th. |

What does it matter about the cover you have read the tracklisting dont be so soft |
| tru bass |
ive only just got the first one lol |
| CDJay |
n1 ;)
CDJay |
| Dj ANIL |
The first Hardcore Underground CD was great but this one is fantastic can't wait for it to come out.
RFU Recordingz brilliant label. |
| warped_candykid |
hmm, I dont have a problem with the cover. I think it will be like this for a while. All those years with the cartoon/rainbow-colored covers, some people fussed about it, so now we got the almost-naked chicks on the covers...and people are starting to fuss. I actually like this cover, if only she had some candy on :) |
| Dj ANIL |
A bit of a change from the first one no Cube:Hard (RFU Grey label)
|

I'm not sure Cube:Hard is still a part of RFU/RFU Grey anymore though. Judging by the latest update over at the RFU Grey website things have/are changing there considerably.
I sent an email to RFU Grey just this week asking whether or not he still played a part in it but as of yet no reply.
Maybe CDJay could clear it up for me?

| Meathead |
looks pretty damn good! cant wait for release, might have to buy the first HU in meantime |

I've heard from several people that he's moved on to other things. EG, no more hardcore. :(

Just had a reply saying that he is still involved and should release new material soon. No mention of what kind of material but in the past Tom has always been pretty diverse. I remember reading in recent interviews that he doesn't think music over 165bpm sounds good. I'm sure that whatever kind of music he produces will sound good though he is a very talented guy. |

I would purchase this soley based on the cover. I think she's fine and could fart in bed any time of the day or night.
On the whole though, it looks like a very interesting CD. The first one is still in heavy rotation on my playlists! |
| novaboy |
holy shit i massivly agree with you, hottest chicks ive ever seen in my life prob. |
| Lilley |
shes definately hot |
| djDMS |
I'll be buying this with no thought for the artwork whatsoever!
If a cheesy cover is the price we have to pay for more exposure i can't say i mind too much. |
| Dj ANIL |
That girl on the cover is stunning most Hardcore CDs have got it know. |
| Meph751 |
yea haha not sure why everyones saying she's ugly 
she's most definitely smokin hot |
| CDJay |
Website will go up tommorow, with the first batch of clips and a free tune!
*drum rolls*
Bass D & King Matthew - "Like a Dream" ( Darwin remix )
I say "free", it's not exactly free. You'll need to whore HU2 to everyone you've ever met in order to pay the karmic debt.

I hope this is a good mix and not just a 2007 edit! which seems the way atm!
|
| CDJay |
Have faith....
It's a risky one, as it treads between two worlds; true to the original, and appealing to the modern raver.
Early feedback is good, and it's just a bit of fun anyhey ;)
CDJay |
| Meph751 |
it's darwin
it'll be good |
| Orbit1 |
I'd get the CD just for the chick on the cover. She's very hittable.
But heck man, its a wicked hardcore album just looking at it. I can't wait for my copy! |

At least I can't be accused of loading, eh? ;)
CDJay
|
| Lilley |
i dont think anyone would blame you if you did
*looks at clublands tracklist* |
| Entity |
That remix is fantastic - more hardcore like this please!
All the tunes so far sound mint - you're just teasing us with those clips... I really can't wait another 2 weeks |
| hardcore anorak |
carnt wait for this al storm and fracus cd is going straight on al storm should deffo b booked more he is 1 of my fav producers at mo dropping bombz what a tune thank god we have cds like this |
| n/a |
Alistair Storm is a major MAJOR Talent. He needs to be bigged up more. Dunno about his mixing as ive never heard him, but his producing and remixing is of the top quality.
SMD - SMD 4 (Al Storm Remix) is one of my if not my favourite modern era track. And believe me there aint many modern era tracks id say I really liked. |
| Meph751 |
i've said it before and i'll say it again, al storm is absolutely amazing. |
| Dj ANIL |
So is DJ Weaver's tunes quality. |
| Quicksilver |
Happy Hard House sounds wicked!!! Listening to the other clips as I'm writing this...
Go This Way, Heartbreaker, Take Me Away sound great too. But pretty much the whole of what I can hear of CD3 sounds AWESOME! Especially Pretty Pink Flower! Wow! :D |
| dj switchback |
Bump!
Gotta keep interest in this CD. ;) |
| Dj ANIL |
Not long to go till this comes out. |
| av3nger |
quote:
The release date for "Hardcore Underground 2" is October 15th
Is that releasedate still correct? Only one week left and I can't find HU2 on Amazon |
| dj switchback |
Possible that there will be a small delay. Although i'm sure CDJay will keep everyone informed in due time.
As stated a million times previously though , ROLL ON IT'S RELEASE!! |
| DJ Fracus |
Yes unfortunately we have had to push back our release date. Not too much longer to wait though! Check the following link:
http://www.happyhardcore.com/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=36577
|
| CDJay |
Hardcore Underground 2 is now up for pre-order at some online vendors.
I will note we'd rather people bought in store, and believe the mark up to be much less insane than last time around.
However if you just *can't* control yourselves:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000XJ42DE/happyhardcore-21
http://www.hmv.co.uk/hmvweb/displayProductDetails.do?ctx=280;-1;-1;-1&sku=731372
Hopefully, for all of us, it's smooth sailing from here. The first HU was a proof-of-concept, this is where the validity and sustainabilty of diverse and representative albums has to happen.
I won't be ramping up the hype machine until after Bonkers 17 is released, as I firmly believe everyone needs to buy that first. Then, they should want HU2 by default ;)
Fun times.
CDJay
