So, yeah, wow. Not a lot seems to have happened when we were scrambling around trying to simultaneously survive and future proof through 2016.
Now, anyone who knows our ethos will be aware we don't like the idea of "loading" comps. We want to represent a broad spectrum of artists whether it'll be their comp debut or they're a seeming guaranteed name on the list of artists.
That all said, I feel we're struggling with that remit. Now, this ISN'T a HU album in the traditional sense. We're not shooting for massive stylistic breadth; we're after upfront sounding (at least in production terms) musically solid genre leading material. Amazingly, and I thought HU7 was an aberration, we're not exactly being bombarded with tracks.
This needs wrapping in the next week, or so, and with that in mind it's open season. What *should* be on there?
Criteria:
Cannot contain unclearable samples
Has not featured on a previous compilation (HU7, One Rave, latest Rebuild CD)
Artist/label must be willing to license *and* grant single rights due to format
It can have been released already, as long as the previous criteria are met it's a non issue
Material from late 2015 - 2016
Help! Obviously I'm expecting a few tracks shortlisted to get mentioned and that's great. I'll sleep better ;)

I feel like I want to put some real thought into this
But my immediate thought would be that Kniteforce is often overlooked. It'd be great to see Luna-C, Sc@r and CLSM tear a CD into thirds. |

Dowster & Vagabond have stuff from this year that is good.

technikore ; whatev euphoric vibes storm is cookin.

Absolutely this. Couldn't agree more.

| CDJay |
.. see, normally I'd be agreeing with you lots and lots and lots.
I'm not sure much of it will fit the brief, for *this* album, though, sadly.
Still, link me to things and prove me wrong

There are some bits i've heard in various podcasts
Alex Prospect & Spyro - Up To No Good
Scott Brown - Reach For The Sky
Outforce - Goosebumps
Avi8 - The Forgotten Star (Macks Wolf & Clarkey Remix)
Jekyll Ft Heidi Anne - Too Afraid
Darren Styles - Show me the sunshine (Gammer Remix 2016)
Gammer ?Red Drink Foam Party?
This is really broad, but there are two Stu Infinity tracks one contains a reallyyyyyyyyy good male vocal, the other is an update of an older piece he did. Both featured on the Stu Woods podcast which is sadly gone.
I have no idea if this would get cleared, but i like the mashup he did:

Maybe a full J-core underground cd sometime in the future? Buying stuff from japan is pretty expensive so a cd compiled by you guys might have an audience? The Al Storm & Shimamura cd on Hu 7 is really good =)

| CDJay |
I'd love to do it, but the language barrier is real and the interest has to be reciprocal.
Best I can tell, the Japanese audience are interested in HU but the active artists not so much.

Hmm let me think.
Fracus and Darwin. DDR Superstars.
I will dare go on record and state they are easily the most popular UK Hardcore act in that territory, even VS Gammer et al.
Our third best selling territory, for years. See also: Podcast.
Number of times F&D have played there? Zero.
I see little evidence of reciprocity.

In other words, it's actually a pretty decent tune so it won't go onto the album.
Afaik S3RL is popular almost everywhere. To the people on the street here who vaguely know what hardcore is, S3RL is one of the 5 or so names you're most likely to hear. I don't even like him but I acknowledge that he's achieved huge popularity for an artist outside of the traditional top tier. |

Totally see where you're coming from, but surely you'd agree that different criteria are called for? It's not like repping everyone and everything on the HU series for 10 years has been a hug and then some. The mainstream, IMO, has gone utterly sideways and the gap now isn't an alternative to that it's a replacement for what it was. Which, truth be told, isn't breakbeat hardcore and J-Core. If you were me, would you honestly do it differently?

One super serious question. I finished a track a while ago and am in the process of fixing it up and mastering it. Basically, my question is if small time producers such as myself can be added to this compilation? I'm quite certain their are quality qualifications and I can assure you I'm not some Bandcamp low quality garbage, haha. I'm not saying I'm the "best" but I'm rather proud of this one. |

Always open to anyone and everyone!

There's lots of good music coming from Japan at the mo, they have their style locked down, UK hardcore with a sprinkling of Japanese style. |

make em give you this one . and while you are at it; make him give you transcend & cyrax remix of morning light haha.
https://soundcloud.com/m-project_suzumoto/heart-attack
track is so cool; such a good synthesis of their sounds. not a big stomp fan; but the euphoria/ vibes off that track is killin
Hixxy is moving again too; maybe he could give some fresh sounds?

shame the Japanese do not want to get involved; maybe viperstar or attack the music guys could help a collab?
check this out; j core and western guys. rhythmics still making hardcore?
https://diverse.direct/hx-rec/hxcd-001/
and look who does the mastering . lol.
So they are involved in helping the real scene; behind the scenes; but push utter shit. how confusing; why? |

Not everyone actually wanted to change the music. But when Gammer and Styles and friends start pushing something completely different, you have to fall in line if you want to stay relevant and keep getting bookings.
Even notable hold-outs like Technikore and Scott Brown have started to realise that you're supposed to act like the '00s never happened.
Only people with nothing financial at stake haven't given in and sold out at this point. |

It's alright bro. I haven't fully explained what's wrong and I'd prefer not to but I don't want to let any illness, no matter how serious, define who I am. :)

"UK Hardcore Scene 2017:
The great ****boi exodus "
not even sure what is going on; is he talking about himself?
and here " When the whole crowd chants your song " ( to some shitty god forsaken hype track of his)
? was he ****ing sleeping for a decade as the most superb fans one could ask for sang their hearts out to his brilliant euphoric tracks?
actually pisses me off.
pretty much takes the cake as far as depressing shit goes; i'd say. |

It's like he intentionally tries to out-dick himself year on year. And since 2012, he's been very successful at it.
Man, I remember in 2008, he was like one of my few genuine music idols. It's just sad to see. These days, he doesn't even acknowledge that he had fans before 2010. For him, it's like hardcore started a few years ago and he's one of the pioneers of the genre. |

yeah dude, the fact that you bought a cd totally gives you the right to talk shit about a guy who works to put together multiple cd releases featuring various unearthed artists in a barely alive genre.
also nice job derailing a good thread, once again you prove yourself as the #1 Gammer fan on the planet, simply cannot talking about him! |

Every single HH.com thread longer than a single page gets derailed. That's just the way of the universe. Like gravity and the law of energy conservation. There's no point in complaining about it or even trying to rectify it imo. For the most part, I think people trying to promote their topic should just roll with it and accept the free bumping/interest that accompanies a large thread.
Link to clips of CD? Sounds mildly interesting!
On a side-note (not aimed at you or anyone really -- just cba to make another double post), why does everyone always try to ad hom me? A lot of my posts contain falsifiable premises yet nobody, except CDJay, even bothers trying to argue against the content. I just take that as a tacit acknowledgement that I'm right and nobody wants to hear it. But when CDJay responds, it leads to discussions that are interesting to me. It gets boring when the only counter-argument I hear is some variation on "you're a cnut". I might rip on his music but CDJay is actually one of my favourite users on here. |

I literally get shivers of thrill that anyone gives enough of a sh** about things to argue convincingly in the first place. Nothing distresses me more than the whole "BANGING m8!" FB commentary to things that make me wish my brain had sustained enough trauma to no longer notice.
I also believe that I've made my own biases, and restrictions, clearly enough that I can be trusted to segue way without seeming irredeemable.
I do actually reckon there are a fair few bits on the HH album that you'd enjoy; I came close to sending you one the other day and then got all nervy and timid. The thing as a whole will inevitably distress you, but I still think we're on a recovery tip. One day at a time, yea?

Aw. You should've done it mate!
I have a question for you. You've been working with HU and (previously) RFU for a long time. You were with RFU and HU when the bouncy supersaw-driven sound was dominant in the latter half of last decade (and continued to be a regular feature until about 2013). It was a sound you admit that you didn't enjoy but there were plenty of HU releases and compilations/CDs in that style. Inevitably, that means you've had to work with a lot of music that you probably personally didn't enjoy much. At those points, how did you justify your commitment to keeping hardcore alive? You were essentially fighting to promote an abstract concept. It wasn't the sound you were enamoured with; more of an idea.
To borrow a concept from object-oriented programming, the parent class of hardcore would really have only 2 attributes: a BPM of 170 and 4-to-the-floor drum programming (and that's if we're ignoring old skool completely because otherwise hardcore would have absolutely no meaningful definition at all). Nobody (sane) loves a genre on the basis of those two attributes. It's everything on top that counts. For me, I like happy hardcore stabs, pianos and ALL THE SUPERSAWS on top of my beats. Now that I'm not hearing that stuff, what am I supposed to be fighting for? The idea of hardcore as an abstract concept? Some sentimental crusade? The hope that everything will go full circle and we'll end up back in 2007 again?
Genres themselves have no intrinsic value (artistic or otherwise); only the music derived from those conventions has value -- and obviously that value is subjective (with maybe a smidge of objective value in an existential sense). If the conventions change in a subjectively unfavourable way, doesn't that just destroy the value? Why should we fight to keep something alive if it's not valuable to us anymore? Not the same thing that used to hold subjective value? I just wonder where your seemingly-limitless motivation and resolve come from. It's impressive but also enigmatic.
I'm glad you don't find me offensive. I don't want to dislike the music. I'm still waiting and wanting to be proven wrong and shown that hardcore in 2016 can still send shivers down my spine. You're right. I do care a lot. As I said to someone the other day, I have a thousand better things I could be doing even despite my illness but I'm passionate about this thing we call "hardcore" (whatever the hell it actually is).
More than anything else, I hate this restrictive clustering and the blind following of trends that makes it hard for two big styles to co-exist in the scene. It shouldn't this hard, should it? I think we agreed in another discussion that some producers were effectively, albeit somewhat indirectly, forced to "modernise". The fact that some older producers have refused to return on the basis of being unable to produce the modern sound suggests that the internal/external pressure to conform is immense (I'm not naming names but I've spoken to a couple of mid-tier ex-producers who cited this as a reason for staying away from the modern hardcore scene). Even Scott Brown is now changing his signature sound - one that most people were still feeling and that had almost no best-before date - to fit the TWR cartel's preferences and the scene groupthink. Maybe he prefers it this way. But nobody will convince me that every single producer in the scene drastically changed their style of their own free will or that they all prefer it this way. The fact that big names like Technikore still put out the occasional track that wipe away the last 6 years as if they were nothing makes Gammer's implications that the old UK hardcore was silly seem somewhat ridiculous.
I don't know. Maybe I should just accept that what I love is dead and either abandon the forum like everyone else or stick around for the scraps (been listening to "Tortuga 2016" pretty much on repeat this evening -- new stuff like that is mana from heaven). Maybe I need my own thread where we only post new tracks made in a '00s style. I'm far from the only one who would be interested in something like that. |

Link to clips of CD? Sounds mildly interesting!
On a side-note (not aimed at you or anyone really -- just cba to make another double post), why does everyone always try to ad hom me? A lot of my posts contain falsifiable premises yet nobody, except CDJay, even bothers trying to argue against the content. I just take that as a tacit acknowledgement that I'm right and nobody wants to hear it. But when CDJay responds, it leads to discussions that are interesting to me. It gets boring when the only counter-argument I hear is some variation on "you're a cnut". I might rip on his music but CDJay is actually one of my favourite users on here.
I literally get shivers of thrill that anyone gives enough of a sh** about things to argue convincingly in the first place. Nothing distresses me more than the whole "BANGING m8!" FB commentary to things that make me wish my brain had sustained enough trauma to no longer notice.
I also believe that I've made my own biases, and restrictions, clearly enough that I can be trusted to segue way without seeming irredeemable.
I do actually reckon there are a fair few bits on the HH album that you'd enjoy; I came close to sending you one the other day and then got all nervy and timid. The thing as a whole will inevitably distress you, but I still think we're on a recovery tip. One day at a time, yea?
CDJay
Aw. You should've done it mate!
I have a question for you. You've been working with HU and (previously) RFU for a long time. You were with RFU and HU when the bouncy supersaw-driven sound was dominant in the latter half of last decade (and continued to be a regular feature until about 2013). It was a sound you admit that you didn't enjoy but there were plenty of HU releases and compilations/CDs in that style. Inevitably, that means you've had to work with a lot of music that you probably personally didn't enjoy much. At those points, how did you justify your commitment to keeping hardcore alive? You were essentially fighting to promote an abstract concept. It wasn't the sound you were enamoured with; more of an idea.
To borrow a concept from object-oriented programming, the parent class of hardcore would really have only 2 attributes: a BPM of 170 and 4-to-the-floor drum programming (and that's if we're ignoring old skool completely because otherwise hardcore would have absolutely no meaningful definition at all). Nobody (sane) loves a genre on the basis of those two attributes. It's everything on top that counts. For me, I like happy hardcore stabs, pianos and ALL THE SUPERSAWS on top of my beats. Now that I'm not hearing that stuff, what am I supposed to be fighting for? The idea of hardcore as an abstract concept? Some sentimental crusade? The hope that everything will go full circle and we'll end up back in 2007 again?
Genres themselves have no intrinsic value (artistic or otherwise); only the music derived from those conventions has value -- and obviously that value is subjective (with maybe a smidge of objective value in an existential sense). If the conventions change in a subjectively unfavourable way, doesn't that just destroy the value? Why should we fight to keep something alive if it's not valuable to us anymore? Not the same thing that used to hold subjective value? I just wonder where your seemingly-limitless motivation and resolve come from. It's impressive but also enigmatic.
I'm glad you don't find me offensive. I don't want to dislike the music. I'm still waiting and wanting to be proven wrong and shown that hardcore in 2016 can still send shivers down my spine. You're right. I do care a lot. As I said to someone the other day, I have a thousand better things I could be doing even despite my illness but I'm passionate about this thing we call "hardcore" (whatever the hell it actually is).
More than anything else, I hate this restrictive clustering and the blind following of trends that makes it hard for two big styles to co-exist in the scene. It shouldn't this hard, should it? I think we agreed in another discussion that some producers were effectively, albeit somewhat indirectly, forced to "modernise". The fact that some older producers have refused to return on the basis of being unable to produce the modern sound suggests that the internal/external pressure to conform is immense (I'm not naming names but I've spoken to a couple of mid-tier ex-producers who cited this as a reason for staying away from the modern hardcore scene). Even Scott Brown is now changing his signature sound - one that most people were still feeling and that had almost no best-before date - to fit the TWR cartel's preferences and the scene groupthink. Maybe he prefers it this way. But nobody will convince me that every single producer in the scene drastically changed their style of their own free will or that they all prefer it this way. The fact that big names like Technikore still put out the occasional track that wipe away the last 6 years as if they were nothing makes Gammer's implications that the old UK hardcore was silly seem somewhat ridiculous.
I don't know. Maybe I should just accept that what I love is dead and either abandon the forum like everyone else or stick around for the scraps (been listening to "Tortuga 2016" pretty much on repeat this evening -- new stuff like that is mana from heaven). Maybe I need my own thread where we only post new tracks made in a '00s style. I'm far from the only one who would be interested in something like that.
There's a question in there??? |

Dougal talks about this issue in 2003, this little segment sounds so cynical, makes me laugh

But definitely there's the idea of being in control of where the sound goes but it's not quite at illuminati levels...

I don't remember being present at this meeting!
In the post Thumpa quoted, I wasn't even being a ****. He just had a minor meltdown for some reason. I think he needs a PR manager.
I will say that what's wrong with me is potentially life-threatening. And I still don't melt about someone doing a bit of complaining on a forum. In fact, I find it annoying that this is his idea of a big problem. Seriously, Thumpa, mate, sort your life out. We can trade any time you like. |

I was lucky enough to get an exclusive listen to an early version of F&D's disc for the album. In fact, I've had it on repeat all evening.
I'm not allowed to say much about it but I will say that I was pleasantly surprised. The HU guys have really gone to a lot of effort to include a broad spectrum of music and satisfy everyone. I might be pushing it here but I'll just mention that some of the music they've managed to license is impressive.
Don't write this off before you've heard it. Even I enjoyed it and that's a seal of approval right there. ;)
I think if any modern hardcore compilation stands a chance of blowing up and actually doing well, it's this one.
Big up CDJay and everyone involved. |

Hahahaha
You bunch of cynics!
CDJay said he'd been thinking about sending me something for a while. He wanted to persuade me that modern hardcore isn't all shite. Then he just decided to send me the draft of the entire first disc of the new album!
As much as I'd like to talk more about it, I'm sworn to secrecy. I even have the tracklist but I'm not allowed to mention a single track by name. Just take my word for it that it's genuinely enjoyable. I don't know if I'll be able to afford the album when it comes out but if I can, I'll be buying it.
He didn't even want me to post about it publicly. It was supposed to be a little secret. But when I found that I enjoyed it, I persuaded him to let me post a sentence or two. The least I could do is my little bit to help promote an album that I liked and that CDJay trusted me enough to hear before almost anyone else. Needless to say, it made my evening. :)
Edit: TYPOS EVERYWHERE -- even in the edit notice **** |

I'm sure he'll send you it as a thank you if you tip a few doubters towards buying it ;-) |

Let's be real here no one really gives a shit about what Elliot had to say about the album to begin with we were going to buy it regardless of what he thought about it. Most, if not all, of us here are HU fanboys and we were going to buy it once we saw HU involved in the project. |

Hey! I'm a human being and therefore my feelings have intrinsic value!
Anyway, CDJay cared plenty about what I had to say about the album and he's more important than any of us.
Edit: On a serious note, even you have to know that there are other people on here who think exactly the same as I do. I also know several people (I won't name names) who are long past the point of thinking that everything HU does is "buy on sight". We basically have our own modern-hardcore-hating clique. When someone in that clique says something is good, I'm automatically more inclined to check it out. But, no, I don't seriously believe I'm somehow going to sell a bunch of extra albums for HU on a forum of a dozen active users who had already made their minds up about this project months ago. Nothing about this is related to sales. It definitely wasn't CDJay's intention and it's not mine. I'm just giving my honest opinion on an album I've been fortunate enough to hear in advance of its release. My integrity wouldn't allow me to lie and say that it's good even if I wanted to -- I actually enjoyed it! If that gets people more hyped, great. You love HU as much as the next average HH.com user so you shouldn't have any problem with what's going on here. :) |

With all this positive talk about the new album, I hope I stand a chance in getting in, haha!! I am a lover of 07 hardcore, but Im a maker of newer hardcore. So hopefully I get a few listens if there's a chance I do get on the compilation ; )
Got most of my song mixed down last night, now I gotta do a final mix ; ))) |

There's always the possibility that the tune is so amazing that they stop the manufacture mid-press and re-record the mix |
| Elliott |
Tbf, if someone had sent me Building Shaker back in 2009 on the day of an album release, I would've cancelled the release and redone the whole album. Probably would've called the new album Building Shaker.
Point is: Building Shaker was a tune.
Edit: Also I should probably never be in charge of putting together a hardcore album.. |
| PecheyTheLizard |
I wouldn't say it's shatter worthy, haha! I'm just saying that even for an amateur, I think it's worthy to be on something? And even if it didn't get on, I would still be happy someone put their time I to listening to it! |
| PecheyTheLizard |
By the by, when is the submission date? Hopefully I didn't screw up and get this too late lol |

and no way this is getting released without you getting it ; i will buy 2 and send one to your house if need be haha |

The mixes are pretty much finalised, at this point, pending a few licensing stragglers.
That said, we fully intend to follow this up in a reasonable timeframe so it's still worth getting in contact.

And it all started with a Z. But then I don't think the naming of the album (Sharkey/React/AATW don't own the word that started with a B) was the problem, but everything else around it. |
