For all you MC Storm haters, personally I'm not one of them, but there are a few promoters out there who are not keen on him. Paul Grant, who runs Hyperbolic, put a poll up on which artists people would like to see on the next line up and MC Storm was a suggestion and he straight up said that it won't happen as he doesn't get along Storm. Never effects his events though. Must of been a recent thing though as Storm was a Hyperbolic original and played right up to events in 2012. So there are people who will say it as it is and if they don't like him they won't book him. Here's the post...

It's in the replies to first comment

I take it you lot on here are looking forward to Prime Time Players new stuff, this collaboration of Storm, Klubfiller, Joey Riot and some other chap? Apparently it's to push hardcore boundaries like never before!

arpz	I think this post is from Ajay's personal account to Ajay's 'public' account but please someone correct me if I'm wrong Andrew Pickering‎ to Ajay Pickering 18 mins ? I'd say I'm disappointed with MC storms post and the fact he's deleting all the positive comments from people slating him for his actions but manipulation is this mans middle name. What do you expect from someone who drove one kid to suicide with his bullying, tried ruin DJ SY and manipulates smaller newer promoters with his stature. Hardcore will never change with vile people like this guy and the other artists secretly manipulating things behind the scene that you all adore, it's like fighting a brick wall. So It's with a sad and heavy heart that I'll add to his hit list and I will be resigning from hardcore and music effective immediately. I cannot take the bullying, lies and disgusting behaviour any more. I literally dread my phone going off and it's geunily making me feel depressed, angry and Ill. I simply cannot take it anymore so I'm sorry to all of you that will be disappointed with this news and to all the guys I've helped push based on talent alone that will now fade into darkness or room 3. I never wanted to leave this way but if I don't I will break down and nothing is worth going back to that darkness I've once lived in. Over my 18 years I've never once maliciously done anyone over, licked hoop or bowed down to egocentrics and they ****ing hate me for it (GOOD). I know from the many messages of support from the genuinely kind people in this industry that I made positive changes and stopped the higher echelons from controlling and hampering progress for their own gain. It's ironic that the most rewarding thing I've ever done was stop the pathetic rift between the hardcore scene and push talented GOOD people onto stale line ups that will echo forever as the ravers have become educated and demand more for their money (big up to you guys I love the lot of you) but the irony is that leaving is making me feel like I can breath again and feel free from it all. In my personal life Im being denied access to my baby which is killing me, people I care about are suffering from terminal illnesses, I've found out I have other family I didn't know existed and on top of all this I have to deal with playground tactics and bullying that has seen me go from someone who loves what I do to not wanting to answer my telephone or even go to events, it stops right here right now! Thank you to everyone of you who believed in me and supported "our" vision you are every much a part of the success, you have no idea about the threats, attacks and bullying I've endured over the last few years to push that on your behalf and even though I cannot continue I would look back and say to myself "it was worth it" as long as I go now. As I said It's not the way I wanted to go but it's defiantly the legacy I'll look back on proud. Good luck, avoid the BS and rave safe you beautiful people xxx Seriously, why do we allow Storm any respect/power in this 'scene'? Why is everyone always scared to state specifics? The guy is like a rake...
Mickey Init	Fair play to him for naming and shaming but if things are that bad now, surely going public will draw even more unwanted attention to himself for a while. I've not been to any major events since Ajay took the reigns but as a bystander I respect his efforts to keep the momentum going for other people to enjoy what I once did. Storm's always been quite sound whenever I've spoken to him but I hear nothing but bad press from other people. I hope Whizzkid doesn't have a similar facade because he's always come across as a decent guy who doesn't get involved with the politics or bitching.
arpz	I've never heard anyone say a single bad word about whizzkid and he's been spot on every time I've spoken to him (admittedly it's not that many times but yeah). I wanna read what Storm wrote in the first place but I got blocked from his page ages ago for telling him to stop slagging off someone that had asked him to sign something (or something like that, I don't recall)
Captain Triceps	Storm seems to have fallen out with a couple of promoters this last week alone.
Mickey Init	Can anyone expand on the drove one kid to suicide bit?
Elliott	Scene conspiracies confirmed legit once again. I find it's best to just assume the worst about everyone and eerything that goes on in hardcore and you'll probably be right.
arpz	quote: Originally posted by Mickey Init: Can anyone expand on the drove one kid to suicide bit? From the comments, I think he's referring to MC Ricta. There was a memorial rave and stuff last year for him.
Samination	I don't know if I should be friggin happy that MC Storm is getting his share due, or sad that someone icon like that was such a dirtbag. Anyways, Ajay Pickering? More like Anal Bickering right. right?
trippnface	BRING BACK SY
djDMS	Shocking but not at all surprising
wong	What was storms post then?
Captain Triceps	quote: Originally posted by wong: What was storms post then? "Let's play a game called guess who!?!? Let's guess which ' promoter ' sent that to me last night!?!" then a picture of a message saying: "the flyers have been printed sort it out with them I don't care about this shitty pathetic scene anymore" Followed by a lot of painfully typical illiterate replies.
Elipton	I do feel like it's this old guard that's holding Hardcore down in a way. MC Storm has done a lot of stuff like this over the years and I've heard more stories than I ever should. He is manipulative, and he knows he can get away with it. Promoters are the engine that drive the scene, but it's Storm that's the driver. If there's new blood that threaten Storm, Storm acts. I feel that once Storm and some other old names leave the scene, we'll finally be able to bring new blood to the top and create some momentum. It's no coincidence that every time a big name leaves the genre that no one ever seems to take their place or fill the void.
arpz	I can't understand why he doesn't get ****ed off though - surely if people are aware of what he's doing they can just not book him. It's hardly like anyone goes to the raves to see Storm...
Elipton	quote: Originally posted by arpz: I can't understand why he doesn't get ****ed off though - surely if people are aware of what he's doing they can just not book him. It's hardly like anyone goes to the raves to see Storm... He has too many allies that can weigh in on events and leverage him in. The amount of blackmail that must happen is worrying.
Captain Triceps	At least in the 90s we had that illusion that everyone in the scene were mates.
dannothemanno89	The guys a twat, thought it for years esp after what he did to sy, saw it or somethin similar wrote here before once, sumin like ^the rot goes all the way to the top and starts with storm^ well true, get him out of the game and the rest will sort itself out.

They do occasionally seem to let new people break through (like some of the newer FW/TWR artists) if you're prepared to get your knees dirty and act like a good, servile little peon.
skarr	quote: Originally posted by arpz: It's hardly like anyone goes to the raves to see Storm... Errrr, yes they do .
Mickey Init	quote: Originally posted by Captain Triceps: At least in the 90s we had that illusion that everyone in the scene were mates. Good point. Promoters were in control back then. Things only started to go downhill when DJs/MCs/artists started setting up major events in the early 00s and featuring on their own lineups. That's when the boundaries became blurred and the hardcore scene became a pointless dick-measuring contest.
skarr	No matter how much of a prick he is he will always get booked and be exremlery powerfull, because he has 1000's upon 1000s of fans and is one hell of a performer. And people do go to raves just because he is mcing. I went to totally ardcore In Bristol the other week and spoke to loads of people who were all saying they couldn't wait for storm to come on. And when he did come on he smashed the absolute living shit out of the place, people were going absolutely crazy just because he was on the stage, I'm not trying to defend his actions , just saying why he is and always will be one of, If not the most powerful person In the hardcore scene, I completely disagree with it but that's the way it is, for every person he upsets he has 5000 times more people that will have his back.
arpz	quote: Originally posted by skarr: quote: Originally posted by arpz: It's hardly like anyone goes to the raves to see Storm... Errrr, yes they do . What, really? You actually think that people wouldn't turn up if he wasn't on the line up? There are plenty of people capable of doing what he does. edit: you just answered that question - I don't agree that it'd make any difference to the turn outs
skarr	People do go to raves just to see him,( that's not my fault is it, im just telling it like it is) the same way people go to raves just to see anyone else, when he came off stage at totally ardcore people were literally fighting to get a photo with him,it was crazy, what was the last rave you went to?

Elipton	Skarr is correct
arpz	The last I went to was a HAS night, prior to that was another HAS, probably Fusion before that, or another HAS. The last one I went to where he may conceivably have been booked would've been the NYE in Southampton but I don't recall if he was or not. But I see what you were going to try and get at, that I couldn't possibly know the impact he has on a crowd. I fully understand that he 'hypes the crowd' etc and that people are happy to see him but I don't think for one minute that if he stopped appearing on the flyers that those events would suffer in any real way. There's plenty of guys MCing that are happy to pose for pictures, whilst also being actually decent people
skarr	I'm not saying there's not though am I? I dislike the guy just as much as others I'm just saying why things are the way they are, he's a HUGE crowd puller and that's all there is to it.
arpz	If there's actually a high number of people that wouldn't go to a rave because Storm wasn't on the lineup then this 'scene' is much more ****ed than I had previously imagined. Fair enough.
skarr	If he wasn't then he wouldn't get booked, fair enough mc 'friendly down to earth willing to pose for photos' maybe a nice bloke, but storm is storm and the reason he gets booked and others don't is because he is a master of his art, and he 'hypes the crowd' ? That's what an mc is supposed to do, I personally hate listening to any hardcore mc's, never listen to sets with mc's on, 99% of the mcing at ta was horrific, and I mean HORRIFIC ! I just find it hard to understand why people act surprised as to where storm is where he is, he's hardcore royalty and it's never going to change, ever.
latininxtc	In general I'm not a fan of MCs but for me Storm is one of the worst out there and although his presence at the HTID ITS I went to didn't bother me because I was hyped up to be there, looking back at some footage made me wonder what the fuck is wrong with all these people who enjoy such a loudmouth cunt rambling over the music? Definitely lost what little respect I had, if any, for him because of rhe Sy drama. And when he was banned from HTID events, a ban that should have been permanent, that should have been a clear indication that he was a major problem to the scene and that something wasn't quite right with him.
Mickey Init	Remember when he could no longer do that mouth-scratching but persisted with it, even though his attempt to salvage it was a bit embarrassing. Likewise when Gammer started scratching and used to practise during his live sets. What goes through these guys' minds?
skarr	If the ban would have been permanent he probably would have ran the event into the ground, completely destroyed it, he's basically an evil dictator but it's always the evil dictators that are the ones with power and in charge in the world.....
arpz	Still can't believe that he's that much of a draw but in lieu of anyone actually stating the issues that actually does know, I suppose it's the only explanation available. I wish someone would actually state specifics instead of all the vague statements

The awful thing is, I'll probably be shouting back at him come NYE. ****ing inebriation.
Bring Me Round To Love	Crackhead in a vest, one day he well pick on the wrong person and loose what teeth he has left.

_Jay_	Crumbs. AJay was committed as fcuk. I don't know how many, and who the other guys at HTID are, but I hope someone has the drive to replace him, and continue the revivification of the HTID brand (which in turn had an enormously positive effect on Hardcore in general).
Cyrax	It's the grammar that suffers the most in these deliberations.
Claxton	While what Skarr is saying is true to an extent, of all promoters came together and decided not to book him, it wouldn't have any effect on the numbers through the doors at all. Yes people love to see him, but not to the extent they wouldn't attend a rave if he wasn't there. The guy is a poison, a virus which is deeply embedded into the scene. Things like this will help open people's eyes and hopefully oust him altogether. People just don't understand the impact this guy has on the scene and the decisions he makes. He has manipulated line ups for years and ensured his pals and favourites get the best bookings and set times I don't really want to talk about the Ricta situation and Ajay probably shouldn't have said it, but the things Storm did were vile.
djDMS	Yet there's still a ton of people queueing up to lick his arse because 'he's a ledgend' etc etc. Sadly, it's these people who only care about their next Rave, and not the scene as a whole.
djDMS	Oh....and you'll be getting the call soon, Ben. Bye bye DJ'ing career.....

arpz	I don't really like it when there's a group of people identifying themselves as 'the best'. It comes across as arrogant (funnily enough) and will no doubt result in music attesting to the same Obviously they can do what they want but I don't really see the point of these cliques that turn up from time to time.
djDMS	Looking forward to the next big Hardcore supergroup. We are a squad of massive legends who have been Hardcore since day one. We might not produce much now and are desperately trying to be big in other genres without much success, but we still love Hardcore - and most importantly you, the small people. Because our appeal is dwindling massively, we have teamed up to bring you something you have never seen before (since last time). 'The scene controllers', coming to a Rave near you soon....whether you like it or not!
ConnerIntenzifi	Not read through all the comments but ajays statement is total nonsense. Htid has been sold and he got let go and clearly won't go quietly. He tried to make himself a name slating all the established guys in the background hence why 90% if scene don't like him. He's an utter ** of a guy granted he probably was decent with a few so they won't have seen the snakey snide to him. All about pushing new talent he said am guessing that's why he had prime time slots at every Htid event since he started managing the brand, oh wait no one had heard of this guy until then. I know personally a few people that he pissed off. We all know storm can be a massive ** but in this situation I think ajay has tried to go out with a bang and play the victim card. Hopefully this will be the start of Htid returning to be the major force it was.

Hopefully this will be the start of Htid returning to be the major force it was. You usually talk a lot of sense, but I disagree with pretty much everything in that post. Ajay has been the only major promoter responsible for pushing the right new talent through and giving the hard working talent the chance they deserve. He's shaken up the old guard and upset the applecart. This is something which clearly needed to happen. I know, let's just sleepwalk into obscurity like we have been doing for the last 7 years. Hardcore's dying! People need to wake up and smell the coffee. The same people are responsible for this. They won't let anyone else in and want to protect their status and power in what is a dwindling car crash of a scene. The part of your post which I do find interesting is that you say HTID has been sold. I didn't know this. Do you have any other information regarding this?

The people within HTID seem to have this opinion in common.
djDMS	quote: [b]Hardcore's dying! Don't be ridiculous! There are loads of events every week. ...In the back rooms of pubs selling 15 tickets, losing promoters loads of money because they feel forced to book big names in order to have a successful night. Personally, I couldn't give a shit about either of the parties involved. Nothing against either of them personally because I don't interact with, or follow them. What I do care about though, is the apparent need for drama.Being a 'big name' means precisely shit all to everyone outside Hardcore but these people parade round like they're a cross between a King and the second coming of Christ.No mate, you're a normal bloke that got lucky. In a small scene which has some brilliant people, producers, DJ's and ravers - WE deserve better.
robertybob	I think it's a shame that people go to raves for the MCs, not the music. How many other scenes does this happen in?
ConnerIntenzifi	Well as I said other folk will have a different opinion of him as they haven't seen or heard from this side of the fence. He had control of the biggest Hardcore brand in the world and things could have been so much different but he messed it up. All good pushing new talent and shaking things up but if you knew what things he was saying and to who and his manner once being given control you would maybe understand what I'm saying. And do you not think this other new talent were worthy of the prime time slots he was giving himself as they have been trying to push on in the scene for a while rather than popping out of nowhere. I'm not going to disclose what I know regarding Htid being sold hopefully once this nonsense dies down it will be announced but its someone with a solid background in Hardcore outwith the UK. To be fair the Hardcore scene is picking up I have seen a surge in numbers in Scotland compared to last few years, a lot of newer younger faces. Next year will make it or break it as we can keep saying next year will be the year forever!
arpz	Always the same arguments - 'you dont know whats happened so you can't make a comment' What we do know is that Storm acts like a complete bellend 95% of the time and throws tantrums left and right, while Ajay has mostly continued to run a fairly sane seeming ship.

Seriously, this scene should die like a phoenix again and (hopefully) revive even stronger.

Nah that's not what I meant at all. As I said other people will have a different opinion of him as they haven't seen what he's like behind the scenes so that's totally fine and can comment as they please. Put it this way there was established names refusing to play whilst he was there and it was probably going to end up all new names which wouldn't be a bad thing if events done well with such line ups but they don't. And I'm not defending storm a have booked him countless times I get on well with him but I know how much of a cock he can be on this occasion though ajays farewell statement is just trying to cause bother because he's been given the boot. Dj rankin doesn't play at any Hardcore events in Scotland. There's an event with all the pcdjs from back in the day which actually does well. But the actual UKCore events are picking up I've promoted for over 8 years with many up and downs and the trend has turned for the good with a run of events doing well and numbers creeping up everytime. It is hard to book the new guys in the scene here as nobody takes notice of them until their getting a run at the major events. As I said this is my opinion on what I know etc.. Feel free to disagree!
Mickey Init	quote: Originally posted by ConnerIntenzifi: Put it this way there was established names refusing to play whilst he was there and it was probably going to end up all new names which wouldn't be a bad thing if events done well with such line ups but they don't. I thought this was the point of the thread... the old boys' club watching out for each other.
Claxton	I can't think of anyone of significance who wasn't in Magaluf. Which artists weren't there? Or has there been refusal to play since then? When he came into HTID there was an insane rift between parties. From the outside it appeared as though Ajay was the one to heal these divisions. Not sure how it could have been any different? Hardcore always seems to revert back to type. Two many people scared of the names. Half of the big boys are now irrelevant in terms of musical output anyway. They're living off rep. It seemed to me as though Ajay became wise to this. I don't think DS, Breeze, Hixxy, Sy, Squad-E, Storm need to be booked anymore. I don't think they particularly add anything or are relevant. Obviously DS is relevant but isn't worth the finance. Promoters are as guilty as anyone too. Some still book these names and clearly think we still live in 2008.

Well I thought good things were going to happen as well, having attended Htid since 2006 through the glory days I was looking forward to what was coming. You'd be surprised at who punters want to see, in Scotland the majority only want these names so keeping it fresh is really tough. Ds is the only name in Hardcore that I can say will make you his fee back 2/3 times over. That's speaking from experience of having him here once a year for past 4 years. This will die down and we will move on standard rave drama. Here's hoping it will get turned around, Htid used to be the pinnacle of the rave scene and its lost it so fingers crossed it the new team behind it can resurrect it.
Claxton	When are these people going to stop getting a free ride (and paid handsomely for it) despite not offering anything to the current scene or future scene? I don't see anyone who is arsed about the scene beyond what it gives them. Therefore we should stop paying their mortgages. Right now, I don't see anyone taking responsibility for the future of the genre. I obviously don't include HU in this dig who are trying to do it with two hands tied behind their back and a bag over their head.
wong	has hixxy bought it back?
djDMS	quote: Originally posted by wong: has hixxy bought it back? Yep. Next event 2031
ConnerIntenzifi	quote: Originally posted by wong: has hixxy bought it back? No someone outwith the UK has bought it. Solid Hardcore background actually whether they continue here with all the crap that goes with it remains to be seen but we shall see. I wish we had more new names making it big so I could have fresh line ups that pulled a crowd every event. Most promoters do events because they love the music and have a passion it's definitely not for the money as theres absolute zilch to be made. Alongside the new HH album there's word of another major one coming out so things could still be looking up once the latest soap opera is done with.
Mickey Init	I hope this doesn't spell the end of artist name logos on flyers!
Elliott	Threads like this are why I love HH.com (no sarcasm). Serious, intelligent commentary on the hardcore scene. Without this place, we'd just have Soundcloud (yikes) and Facebook (yikes doesn't cover it).

Next year will make it or break it as we can keep saying next year will be the year forever! And that seems to be thanks to DJ Rankin. Seriously, this scene should die like a phoenix again and (hopefully) revive even stronger. Good contribution, Sam.

Captain Triceps	It is painful to read, it really is. I just can't take an argument or point seriously if they spell like that. How can it possibly be easier to type?

dannothemanno89	Seriously though damage limitation needs to be done, every single big promoter or event or whatever ALL need to say right that's the lot we're flat out not booking him no more, if that would happen that'd be it solved, won't happen though as he's clearly all is with keyes and poison dwarf slemmen, funny how everyone used to take piss outa keyes a few years ago before he was anyone handing his demos out at raves, and now most of them piss takers are in his arse.

Never effects his events though. Must of been a recent thing though as Storm was a Hyperbolic original and played right up to events in 2012. So there are people who will say it as it is and if they don't like him they won't book him.

Apparently it's to push hardcore boundaries like never before! The saddest part about that whole list is none of those waste of skins nominated Fracus and Darwin.
SmashingTheSirens	They have probably never heard of them! Well at least someone totally different, Darren Styles, topped the vote! So that tells you what you already know and who the masses want to see. Don't think Ajay was on the list!

Captain Triceps	Ah, what do they know. Vote for the names they know first and then their mates.
CDJay	Promoters actually listen, though. It's a horrendous chicken and egg scenario that none of the now eversafe names had to deal with. I honestly don't know what more can be done, or what chance any new talent henceforth can have. sighs CDJay

skarr	Hixxy or ajay never 'owned' htid, they were just event managers, from what I can remember the people that own htid are the same people that own garage nation and 1 or 2 other big raves, stu woods stood up to storm publicly, kiss goodbye to everything you have worked hard for stu, you will dissappear into the mist now, mc storm is the Kim Jong Il of hardcore music.
skarr	Come to think of it he didn't even stand up to him, he just almost dared to try to question him publicly, DICTATORSHIP!!!

skarr	Even Fracus n darwin/ hu have bowed down to keyes, the **in 'rogue squad' for **s sake, embarrassing to admit you listen to hardcore when you see shit like that on a flyer.
skarr	Maybe that's why West fest minimised the UK hardcore in the main arena, because they didn't want half the line-up to look like a ****ing wrestling match.
skarr	quote: Originally posted by wong: sidewinder My sincerest apologies for getting my garage raves mixed up, but cheers for the correction mate, lol.
skarr	Who's been booked for hu birthday rave? Oh it's keyes , is that because of his deep meaningful interact lyrics and perfection of timing that almost rivals early 90's gangster rappers? Or is it because If you don't kiss his arse it's all over for you?

skarr	How do I post a picture to prove everything I'm saying?
skarr	Is it possible to post a screen shot on here? All my points will be proven.......
arpz	Upload it to imgur.com and then copy the link lol
arpz	can't even work out what you're supposed to be proving
skarr	**** that , that sounds longer than a Thumpa retirement statement, and more tenuous.
arpz	Guess we'll have to miss out then
skarr	If I could just post 1 pic it would prove just how false the whole UK hardcore scene/ heirachy is, but obviously this is a hardcore site so it's not gonna be that straight forward is it
arpz	You have to post the picture to some kind of site, imgur.com is probably the most simple. Just do it, you've spent more time moaning about it than it'd take
skarr	I just signed up to imgur how the fuc do I post a picture?
arpz	lol you don't need to sign up, but you click on 'New post'
skarr	Look how genuinely happy everyone looks in this http://m.imgur.com/FJBGRx7
skarr	Even squad e has liked the pic so that's how you know it's real.
arpz	hahah well that's it then, nice one lol
skarr	UK hardcore!!!!!!!! http://m.imgur.com/hhBVdMi
arpz	Not sure what point you're making with this...
skarr	Just talking shit basically......
Mickey Init	Darren Styles with his backpack, ha. Bet he's got a pack-up in there.
arpz	I was hoping for something that was going to blow the door off and leave us all gobsmacked :/
djDMS	Well that explains everything!
Samination	Keyes looks like he's photoshopped in. same ****ing face pose hahaha.
Samination	quote: Originally posted by skarr: UK hardcore!!!!!!!! http://m.imgur.com/hhBVdMi Just like the comment in the picture, Gammer's fed off with hardcore, but it pays him (more than Ham)
Elipton	Gammer looks like an iced gem in that picture.
The drunken scotsman	Why does Keyes always do that weird pose in photos? Like an ugly bitch trying her best to look sexy for the camera.
arpz	quote: Originally posted by The drunken scotsman: Why does Keyes always do that weird pose in photos? Like an ugly bitch trying her best to look sexy for the camera. hahahahaha
Captain Triceps	Why is Gammer doing that? Is he genuinely unhappy or is he trying to look cool or what? Give us a smile, son!
dannothemanno89	I didn't go Westfest but know a few who did, word on fb is that storm got started on at the merch stand, o dear, ha ha ha ha
arpz	https://www.facebook.com/events/272760126444999/permalink/408441356210208/ ^ this thread has all that stuff. Quite a few people saying some pretty extreme shit but the overall consensus is that he's a knob that needs to be stopped lol
Samination	It's one thing that the guy who tried to pick a fight with Storm was the bigger dick, but the ones (half-)defending Storm by sayins "his daughter was there. bad form!" should just stop. She's a adult woman ffs.
Mickey Init	Hasn't he been knocked out on stage before? I overheard at an event once that he got attacked during a set in Liverpool of all places. Never seen anything on it, though.
Captain Triceps	quote: Originally posted by arpz: he's a knob that needs to be stopped It's like the tag line to a ridiculous sci-fi porn film.
DJ Sketchy	quote: Originally posted by Captain Triceps: quote: Originally posted by arpz: he's a knob that needs to be stopped It's like the tag line to a ridiculous sci-fi porn film. haha! The crotch wrath of the Storm ;) I get on with the fella. I can't say that used to always be the case, just my brother caused me a lot of problems back in the day, and Storm came down on me like a ton of bricks for it. Understandable really. Storm just wants people to have a clean sheet when he deals with them. If you don't, then you best keep your distance! lol x
DJ Sketchy	Also if you want to get on with Storm... Don't slag him off! I was surrounded by people slagging him off back in the day, and I didn't say a word. Out of both respect and FEAR HAHA. I bet those same people would have gone running to Storm to tell him if I said something too... The thing is, Storm keeps his ear VERY close to the ground, and he knows lots about what's going on and what's being said. Just treat him with respect! If you have problems with him, just don't worry, that will dissipate with time! I am living proof of that :)
The drunken scotsman	I don't think anyone on here is particularly arsed about being mates with storm. Why would they be?

arpz	shit... I know this probably sounds a bit mental but when I left the house this morning there was a car parked opposite that I've never seen before... surely not? :/
DJ Sketchy	The thing is, Storm is, and always will be, a powerful force in the Hardcore scene. There's no moving him! He isn't ever gonna slip up personally either... He has a powerful voice and he isn't afraid to use it! Even to the detriment of his own career! If he thinks something is wrong, he will say so, PUBLICLY! Simple as that.

Elliott	What have we become? Sitting around like little bitches getting catty about Facebook pictures. It's time to man the **** up again and start whining about MCs and hardcore and stuff. Edit: Gammer does have a long face though, doesn't he? Let's be honest.
Cyrax	quote: Originally posted by Elliott: What have we become? Sitting around like little bitches getting catty about Facebook pictures. I find it kills about 30 minutes of work time thank you very much!
_Jay_	quote: Originally posted by Captain Triceps: quote: Originally posted by arpz: he's a knob that needs to be stopped It's like the tag line to a ridiculous sci-fi porn film. LOL
Elipton	Storm has told producers to remove chunks of vocals from tracks to allow him to MC over more sections. The bloke is a knob, irrespective of where you are in the scene. The sooner he departs (or gets departed), the better. The divisions he alone has made the last 4 or 5 years have damaged Hardcore far more than his career efforts have helped it to succeed. It's a matter of time before promoters band up with a common opinion and omit him from events. It's certainly happened a few times with Sy being chosen under popular demand.
arpz	I doubt it'll actually happen, but agree that it would be good

So making the Sy incident 4 to 4000 times worse than it actually was, and people call out that Storm was even worse to girls before himself?

I need to tread carefully here, as I get along well with Sy too. Sy slipped up, Storm hammered him down for it. That was one of Storm's best mates too! It all got way too messy for me to want to get too deeply involved with. Just it displays what I said earlier, you need to keep a clean sheet around Storm!
Samination	good thing i only go to smaller club raves then :p
DJ Sketchy	quote: Originally posted by Samination: good thing i only go to smaller club raves then :p I doubt he'd be hammering down certain individuals, when there's lots of individuals having a negative word. He will power forward I'm sure.
Elipton	You talk about Storm as though he'said a governing force. Don't take too much offense, as I'm only going off of the few posts you've made, but you need to grow a spine and form your own opinions.

There's a thing called respect and knowing when to keep your trap shut.
The drunken scotsman	What has storm done to deserve any respect?
arpz	to be honest, you are coming across as a bit of a wetty - why should you respect someone who you think is acting unreasonably?
DJ Sketchy	Also you're a bit ****ing pie eyed if you don't think that Storm is a governing force. Look at what he did to Sy's career!
DJ Sketchy	quote: Originally posted by arpz: to be honest, you are coming across as a bit of a wetty - why should you respect someone who you think is acting unreasonably? I've known Storm and Sy for about 15 years. I'm not gonna suddenly start hating on Storm over politics. Same with Sy.
arpz	No one is asking you to start hating on him but you're basically saying that you will/have kiss(ed) the required arse in order to better your career. And you acknowledge what he 'did to Sy's career', one of your mates of 15 years, **** being one of your enemies!

Elipton	Goes to show, play by their rules and brown nose them enough, you go far... but never as far as them...
Claxton	This thread is hilarious. Sketchy, are you a troll or are you living proof of how Storm manipulates and controls people in this scene? And people on this forum call me a lick arse... You might as well say: "Storm knows my address and the names of my children. Please don't tell him I think he might be a bad person or he will ruin my very existence." He's a bloody chav for Christ sake.

djDMS	No, he's definitely done more - but the details are Sketchy ;-) Sketchy. I reckon people are having a go because you're making it look like you'd support 'bad' people to look after yourself rather than challenge them. It's the 'it doesn't affect me so I'll keep out of it' type of situation. Which is OK, but when there are tons of other people doing the same, we end up with exactly the situation we're in now - people speaking up get shot down (or worse) and it's too late to change anything. Which in turn, gives those with power even more.
dannothemanno89	Best thing that should have happened to storm at Westfest would have been for him to be forcibly chucked into the moodiest looking part of the crowd in the dnb arena lmao
skarr	He's not a governing force, he is THE governing force, and anyone that thinks every promoter is going to meet up, sit round a big table and talk about what a twat he is and then all decide to never book him again is deluded.

Which in turn, gives those with power even more. I've written New Essential Platinum 1 with Dougal and my brother DJ Compulsion & I wrote with Gammer too (The Gammer track was un-released). I had a remix of Breeze's 'Let's Fly' with DeeJayBee on Clubland X-Treme Hardcore. I've DJ'd for Slammin Vinyl's United Dance Brand with DJ Compulsion and solo for Ministry of Sound among others including my 10 year Lakota residency. Yeah I understand what you're saying DMS. I had to protect myself in a world of negativity. The best way I found being, KEEP IT SHUT haha ;)
Hard2Get	Dance U Got The Chance is one of the best releases on Essential Platinum 2002.
DJ Sketchy	quote: Originally posted by Hard2Get: Dance U Got The Chance is one of the best releases on Essential Platinum 2002. Thanks! :) It's called Dougal meets Sketchy & Compulsion, as he literally met us at Lakota, watched us mix (as he was on after us). Then said "Right, 2001 in my studio!" :)
DJ Sketchy	We (me & Paul DJ Compulsion) almost wrote with Breeze & Styles too! Just we didn't jump on the open window soon enough. Then Breeze & Styles got HUGE LOL! I DJ'd with Compulsion at Hixxy's first ever HTID night @ Enzos too :)
arpz	Any chance of you two doing anything else in the future then?
Mickey Init	I know this belongs in the track ID section but whilst we're talking about this era of Dougal/EP can anyone tell me what the first tune of this set is is, please? https://youtu.be/VBfkEQlt3rE I've wanted to know for years but never had time to rip the tape and upload it myself. What's funny is I've never found this set on YouTube before (to ask) but a quick search today - prompted by the mention of Dougal/EP - proved fruitful.
DJ Sketchy	quote: Originally posted by arpz: Any chance of you two doing anything else in the future then? Hopefully! Just I'm going more solo at the moment. I'm trying to get Paul DJ Compulsion to write a track with me on the new DJ Sketchy album I'm currently in the process of writing though!

Unless there is something between me and Storm, I see everything external as something which isn't any of my business. I did however feel that he deserved some defence, as does just about everyone. What's my opinion? Well I've said clearly my personal feelings are to keep my mouth shut. However, that's not how Storm operates. Each to their own!

I'm saying he's in charge of the hardcore scene, which is , doesn't matter how shit he is, if he doesn't like an event he'll run it into the ground, if he doesn't like a person he'll run them out of the scene, just like he just did with ajay, I dislike him just as much as anyone else but there's absolutely no denying what he says goes.
Hard2Get	quote: Originally posted by Mickey Init: I know this belongs in the track ID section but whilst we're talking about this era of Dougal/EP can anyone tell me what the first tune of this set is is, please? https://youtu.be/VBfkEQlt3rE I've wanted to know for years but never had time to rip the tape and upload it myself. What's funny is I've never found this set on YouTube before (to ask) but a quick search today - prompted by the mention of Dougal/EP - proved fruitful. Don't know the tune but its blatantly Hixxy/UFO.

DJ Sketchy	Also I just want a mention for DJ Sy here, as he's a good bloke who has really suffered in the face of a mistake. I feel he just needs to pay some dues. Then hopefully we will see him on all the big lineups again :)
arpz	How exactly do you propose that he 'pays his dues'? You talk a fair bit of nonsense mate lol
DJ Sketchy	quote: Originally posted by arpz: How exactly do you propose that he 'pays his dues'? Just he made a mistake, which unfortunately reached the sights of the old bill. I blame all those granny sites made famous on his message boards haha. Just a shame that he looked at something which got him clobbered. Could easily happen to others I'm sure. I just hope that after a bit of time 'paying some dues' he can make a proper comeback. Maybe a Quosh resurgence with DJ Chris Unknown?! Who knows what the future has in store for us! He's done his 'time' at the cost of his career, that's for certain.

We were Essential Platinum boys, and the 2 tracks weren't quite the EP sound. A BIG shame really. As both tracks were banging!
arpz	lol, I just find the whole thing ridiculous. You've built up this image of Storm sat upon his throne made out of crackrocks with various top tier DJ's popping round to offer tributes and gifts :D
Samination	Yea, the Beat really deserves more attention. Real good freeform banger. Could've easily been released on Relentless Vinyl like Gammer's other freeform efforts Here's a sample of it https://youtu.be/UpBMC0S2YYA?t=45m1s

I would like Sy & Unknown back together in the studio as much as the next guy but from what Unknown has said in the past I just can't see it happening.

It is a shame he had to do that, it's not harmed his DJ career at all but his productions have been mostly unremarkable, well produced but not particularly memorable. I can imagine if they did get back in the studio it would rustle a few feathers, and would jeopardize Unknowns DJing somewhat. Chris has been rather quiet about the whole thing (which he is of course entitled to be) so it is difficult to gauge how he feels about the situation. Sort of why I was asking really. I take it you don't speak too much with Chris Unknown then?

I take it you don't speak too much with Chris Unknown then? I used to be at EVERY major rave, with a backstage pass, as I used to run coaches from Cardiff! So I used to catch up with everyone then. I used to phone Sy on occasion. We DJ'd on the same lineup a lot though, as me and my mates used to ensure he was on the Hardcore nights we promoted, as I used to promote Delerium in Bristol, and I was a resident at Lakota. Sy was a Bristol boy! I think his brother lives here. As I said, I feel Sy needs to still pay some dues, however he is headlining an event in London for NYE! So maybe a few years, and we could see him & Chris Unknown cooking again :)

However if DJ Sy does make it to the big leagues again, I'm sure him & DJ Chris Unknown would be back in the studio again. Yeah maybe after I release my album, I will be a big enough fish to get Sy in the studio for my 2nd album!

Gazza1712	I speak to both sy and Chris regularly, and they won't be getting in the studio together again that is for sure, for a number of reasons, one of them being Chris doesn't make music anymore and has a full time job which he's happy in and has been doing for the last year and a half. He has a young family and doesn't get time to make any new music these days anyway, but I don't think his drive for hardcore is there any more, he is happy to take the odd booking here and there.

I think it's safe to say most of us don't give a shit what Chris Unknown does to himself. Without Sy his productions are a flop, with the exception of Takin' Me Back, at least for me I like that track, but he couldn't even manage to produce that one all on his own lol

Other than that are the amicable? Do they speak at all or is Chris refusing to have anything to do with Sy? At the moment there is no point at all in having Sy on a major rave line-up. He plays classic sets only. He's not relevant in the current scene and won't be until he either starts producing again or plays upfront music.

Then said "Right, 2001 in my studio!" :) I purchased this when it came out in 2002. Quality track!

Slipmatt wasn't current for years but it was always good fun dancing to his sets whilst he was still getting booked.

Now now, don't be so hard on Ben's productions he's new at it! ;) I welcome DJs that produce or play more up to date music, which are few and far between it seems these days, but clearly big events tend not to agree with that. Large events seem to be overwhelmed with DJs playing old songs just to guarantee a good crowd reaction. Happened a lot at HTIDUSA last year and I imagine it happens a lot at most other HTID events, especially In The Sun.

To the first part of your question, yes they continue to play their old stuff. Even when they give it a "modern" remix it's still an oldass track. To the 2nd part of your question,
Samination	to further explain my question. So they did not play full sets with old stuff then? I'm just trying to see your point or find flaws in them. And that gif is incorrect. I don't speak Egghandball English

Neither should be on a major rave main room line up. Classic rooms or classic raves by all means, but what's the point in booking someone to play old music for the main stages at bigger events? They should be forward thinking and introducing new music. I'm not sure how you have deducted what you have from my original post.
Samination	I think he's making a comparison. You say that Sy isn't relevant, which I kinda agree about Slipmatt aswell. None of them are relevant in the Current scene, but that doesn't say that they can't get any Big bookings at all.

You suggest that you should be churning out tunes in order to feature on the line-ups these days. As has been said on here before, 'new' doesn't necessarily mean 'good'. There's a lot of garbage being produced these days. It's about variety. Putting Sy, Brisk or Slipmatt on after an hour of current GTYM, for example, would surely stop people falling asleep.

I think it goes without saying that the quality of music must be high. Just because someone is making new music it doesn't automatically mean they should be booked. My point was: if Sy is to become relevant again, he must either a) Get in the studio again. b) play upfront Hardcore from other artists. There isn't a place for someone to be consistently booked if they aren't playing new music.
Gazza1712	No they do not speak anymore, basically sy put his house up for sale in 2012 when they were still working together and he didn't even tell Chris, sy has moved away from the area, so not sure how it would have panned out anyway between the two if the fallout didn't happen, also Chris lost both his parents in the space of a year and one of them passed away around the time it all blew up with sy and storm and sy didn't bother to send Chris one message asking how he was, but the friendship had broken down between them anyway earlier in the summer of 2012 as they were both playing the same event back 2 back and had a long drive think it was Sheffield and something was said by Chris in the car on the way home who was having a joke and sy lost it with him apparently and that was that, there is a lot of things that happened before the whole thing later in the year between sy and storm blew up, also sy cannot make music by himself that's why he hasn't and won't, plus Chris done 90 per cent of the work on all sy and unknown tracks,

Chris Unknowns Facebook post a couple of years back alluded to that as well. It's funny looking back, I spoke to Chris at HTID in the sun 2012, I remember thinking to myself that he went a bit strange when I mentioned Sy. I don't know about your comment that Chris done 90% of the work. I can only go on how good their collaborations sounded compared with how average Chris' solo tracks were. That 10% from Sy made a hell of a difference...

I just don't know where this thing comes from about hardcore tunes needing to have a finite shelf-life. I agree with you when it comes to albums (e.g. that Vinylgroover mix on the Technikore album) but not when it comes to sets; Sy on the decks (playing the Quosh back cat) is a lot more entertaining than watching someone from the nu skool hit 'auto-sync' on a laptop.
DJ Sketchy	'Down Like That' with Darren Styles & Chris Unknown is a MAJOR hit though! One of my favourite tracks Chris has ever produced, and it's very recent! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwZRgF9Q_os

I was thinking about this style of track very recently. They've always existed - probably in equal measure to uplifting/vocal/cheesy stuff. But it always struck me as weird that people who like uplifting stuff also like this kind of stuff. Twisty, filthy, moody. I personally don't. I mean, they're alright on the dancefloor if you're off ya box on squeelers (tequila) and just want to pound around the floor. But musically I've never taken to them. Nothing against them or people that do like them. Just occurred to me how fundementally different those two sets of elements that make up the two styles of music are liked, generally, by people equally.
Mickey Init	I think, as well, his collabs are generally alright. It's just his solo stuff can be a bit weak in comparison.

DJ Sketchy	As some of my tracks were mentioned earlier, I just want some exposure regarding the album I am creating with Matt from the Organ Donors! The Organ Donors brand will not be attached to the album, as they feel very strongly about protecting their brand. The album will be a DJ Sketchy album! I'm under a complete ban showing any of the material we have made so far (or privately sharing it) so as not to affect the impact of the singles releases in about 6 months time. We have Mark Breeze's FutureWorld label lined up for the singles! On Mark Breeze's say so, following when he is presented with the finished articles of course :) (I hope you don't mind me revealing that information nugget, Mark! ;) This is an example of the sound I'm going for, for my album. This is an idea I've made and this will not be the finished product (I don't want to get into trouble with my producer here), as all my ideas for the album will be re-worked in the studio.
Impulse_Response	Do you at least have permission to show a more revealing pic of the girl?

Enjoy! mod edit: removed, sorry google will not like us for being a PG site, please PM them to anyone asking.
Samination	I wouldn't recommend you post them here tho.
DJ Sketchy	On the subject of erotica, and the Organ Donors... Check out this video from the boys, with a sexy HOT half naked chick in it :) (You need to be logged into Youtube to view it, as it's explicit!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIOHLR-P5qE

DJ D-Luc-D	Definitely shouldn't have opened this thread in the school library today. Lol.
DJ Sketchy	I just want to be clear about Mark Breeze's FutureWorld label. We will release on the label if Breeze feels the tracks are hitting the mark. I am very confident they will. Just I need to wait 6 months to find out lol! Watch this space ---> <---

djDMS	Just when I thought he couldn't be any more of an arsehole...
CDJay	Fracus & Darwin, Mob and Prospect all sold 500 or more albums each in the past twelve months. Two of those acts are on the forthcoming Hardcore Heaven album. If you're not actually being facetious, you should probably check out the Hardcore Underground store as that is where the bulk of music has been released in the past 3 years. edit: In fact, if I was planning on spending the time/energy/money on creating an album in genre I'd probably be paying lots of attention to the Hardcore Heaven album. 40 unmixed tracks from most of the artists in genre to reference against for 15 pounds. shrugs CDJay
arpz	40 unmixed tracks for 15 quid tho :D

Admittedly you can't argue with sales but I've always wondered firstly why lethal theory ever bothered with them given the contrasting styles, secondly how the hell they are so popular they are. Just shows how varied taste can be.
arpz	MOB is capable of putting out some brilliant melodic tracks, I think to be honest you're just a bit too jaded mate. I don't subscribe to the whole 'dont say anything if you cant say anything nice' thing but perhaps it's got to the point with you that it might be worth considering?
Mickey Init	quote: Originally posted by CDJay: ATM I'd say Technikore is on tip-top form. Always has been, always will be. I don't think he's ever produced an embarrassment of a tune. Even the Soap On A Rope tunes were decent bootlegs! Even Wanna Be There was awesome and that reached Cheese Level 99. Being honest, though, F&D/HU have been the ones that have kept me interested in hardcore over the last few years. I think without some of the projects that have come to fruition, I'd still be listening to Bonkers 1-17 on repeat every day. Don't get me wrong, I like the TWR stuff, too. It's just they don't do anything interesting with their music.

arpz	I'm looking forward to (hopefully) getting a version of Iron heart that doesn't have the horrible hiss/clipping in the vocal that's present in the trackitdown version
djDMS	quote: Originally posted by arpz: I'm looking forward to (hopefully) getting a version of Iron heart that doesn't have the horrible hiss/clipping in the vocal that's present in the trackitdown version Is the version on the Kutski album different? Can't recall the one I have sounding so bad.
arpz	I haven't heard the Kutski album, I've only heard the trackitdown one. I thought it was potentially due to encoding at trackitdown (I don't know how it works, do they get wavs and then encode MP3 on the site?) so I messaged MOB about it. He told me to send him a screenshot of my order and would resend it to me but it never happened and I haven't chased it up. It's most noticeable during a breakdown and from memory the word 'away' has it pretty bad. I say 'bad', it's not ridiculous, struggled to hear it on my mates monitors but it's fairly clear on mine. I'll make a clip if anyone cares enough
arpz	edit: dbl post
CDJay	If I haven't noticed that during QA I will be fairly cross with myself. To a point. I need rest. Hmmz. I'll check tomorrow CDJay
arpz	quote: Originally posted by CDJay: If I haven't noticed that during QA I will be fairly cross with myself. To a point. I need rest. Hmmz. I'll check tomorrow CDJay I was expecting it to be gone just cause of the fact that it's an edit to the original (I think?) but I don't really know if it's an artifact introduced by encoding or whether it's actually present on the original. Let me know if you need a clip
CDJay	Might be useful to reference. Am desperately hoping so as I want the HH album uncompromised. CDJay
Impulse_Response	My best guess is intersample peak clipping due to loudness war mastering. Lossy compression makes intersample peaks worse than in the original. If you and your friend have different equipment with different DACs, then that might explain the issue. Some have extra headroom to cope with this issue, and some don't. I've heard this problem on a lot of hardcore releases, and even on professionally released hardcore albums (such as Who's Got The Stamina). EDIT: I wouldn't mind hearing a clip. This sort of technical stuff fascinates me.
arpz	I just noticed it on my USB gaming headset as well, I've made a clip - http://fikshun.me/IronHeartclip.wav I only have the 320 mp3 from trackitdown but exported as wav so as to not introduce anything else edit: we did hear it on his equipment, it was definitely there, but a touch less. As it is, I wouldn't play this mp3 in a set
Impulse_Response	Thanks for the clip. I'll do some quick analysis and post my findings. FINDINGS: There is a slight amount of intersample peak clipping in that song, but honestly not that much compared to most other stuff out there which doesn't have such noticeable clipping. I heard a huge amount of clipping in that file, though. The worst of it was at the end of the clip starting around 42 seconds. I think the only way to know for sure is buy the wav from trackitdown and see if it has this problem as well. If not, then it must be a problem on the mastering engineer's end.
arpz	I wonder if CDJay will literally be uttering the words 'stop the press' :/
arpz	I don't really know what that stuff means but the hiss/buzz on the vocal should be really quite apparent on anything as good as my headset edit: ffs sorry, edits edit edits, I assume if it's on the version CDJay has then we also have the answer. I begrudge paying for it from trackitdown again
Impulse_Response	This was on an HU mixed CD, right? If so, then CDJay likely has an unmastered version, because the whole mix would be mastered as a single unit (I think). I'm tempted to buy the wav on trackitdown myself and see if it has the clipping.
arpz	Yeah, the discs are mixed and then mp3 downloads for unmixed. If you do buy it, and it hasn't got it, do send it over ;)
DJ Sketchy	I feel like causing some carnage in the Storm & AJay thread... CARNAGE

DJ Sketchy	I remember when the promoter of Dreamscape, Gill, pulled a moon (got his arse out) ON CAMERA! It was at a Slammin Vinyl event. The jury is out as to weather this is embarassing or not. In the middle of a set, Slammin cut the music, then cut to Gill getting his arse out on the video. LOL

DJ Sketchy	Paul DJ Compulsion also quite famously called Gammer once, and secretly recorded the conversation. He said "I like you. I want to touch you!".
DJ Sketchy	I used to phone DJ Sy, pretty much exclusively when I was very pissed HAHA. As I got nervous! After one disastrous telephone conversation, when I next saw DJ Sy. He said "Just text me in future, yeah?" LELS

DJ Sketchy	Ok, last story. Calvin Harris knows of me well, through private messaging him on Twitter going on 5 years! Well... I SLAMMED DJ Zedd, in full view of Calvin Harris, for his use of FLANGE in Ariana Grande's hit 'Break Free' that he co-wrote alongside Max Martin, who wrote Britney Spears' 'Baby One More Time'. All to say it was very embarassing and I apologised profusely to DJ Zedd following my outburst. I feel my criticism might have pushed DJ Zedd to try a bit harder to be more original though :)

There is no doubt that the celebrities who own the accounts see my messages though. It's a harsh way to live. Being left in the cold almost all the time. If they were to communicate deeply, then that's evidence I could go to the press with. So they don't risk it. This was my way of 'socialising' when I cut everyone off 6 years ago (I'm back in touch with most now).
Captain Triceps	Just ignore him, mate. I had Sarah Ferguson, Judge Rinder and Pele round for dinner today, they all said they know you.
DJ Sketchy	quote: Originally posted by Captain Triceps: Just ignore him, mate. I had Sarah Ferguson, Judge Rinder and Pele round for dinner today, they all said they know you. A bit too much sausage there for an orgy! Sure we will find lots to talk about though. Thanks Captain!
DJ Sketchy	I was gonna do something else, but time for another story. I once thought it was a good idea to introduce this girl who was a friend I had just met, to MC Storm. As he was in the chalet above us. So I take her upstairs to MC Storm's place and knock on his double glazed doors. Storm jumps up through the curtains and through the window says "what?" - I said "Ah my friend wants to meet you" to Storm through the double glazed sliding doors. Storm looks at my female friend, smiles and waves! Then we leave. That was that until HTID a week or so later, when Storm came up to me and said. "Don't you ever do that again" Haha. I've gone tame there... Storm teared me a new one! In front of a large group of people too HAHA. Lesson learned. Don't disturb Storm!
DJ Sketchy	This is a story about the politics of the music industry. I MUST protect all involved parties. So I need to hide their identities, so please bare with me. A BIG NAME came up to me and said "Your **ing mate! You gotta talk to that **er before I do!" What had happened was that this individual had managed to get themselves deeply involved in a situation that had nothing to do with them, at the anger of the big name involved. He said "I keep hearing his name pop up in serious things, that aren't any of his business!" So let that be a lesson to you all. Stay out of other people's business!

So what you think I'm gonna burn bridges by making up stories about powerful people in the scene?! I remember MC Storm coming up to me and my brother Paul Compulsion before our set at United Dance with MC Whizzkid MCing for us. Storm came up to us before our set and said "This is your big chance, you can't **** it up" or something along those lines. I used to be part of the team! I still am really. I used to be back stage at every major event chilling with everyone. I got really close to John Seduction who ran Uproar at one stage. I thought I had to wait to be booked though, when I should have asked Seduction for the booking! DJ Sy was shocked that I didn't ever ask him.
Elipton	I love these stories. Got any more?
DJ Sketchy	quote: Originally posted by Elipton: I love these stories. Got any more? Most of the ones I've got left will get me into serious trouble if I reveal them publicly! I can tell you about DJ Dougal's dog Kitani though! It was a HUGE Japanese Akita! It's paws were huge! Dougal said Kitani pawed one of his mates on the nose and broke his nose! Kitani used to growl at me when I entered Dougal's studio. Scary dog!

That's almost the whole flipping scene! Each person pissed off would be a door closed. Just pissing off Storm alone doors close and opportunities evaporate. How about pissing off the whole scene through telling lies about them through made up stories?! I've been round the block kid, you best recognise.
djDMS	Never mind pissing off the scene. You're doing a fantastic job of pissing off your audience.

I don't understand how none of this is believable for you. I was DJing with all the big names for a solid 10 years! If you don't believe me, fine. I won't waste any more of my time dealing with you.

That's why I've got Matt from the Organ Donors, to properly produce all of my ideas. I've written 8 tracks for the album so far out of 10. I'm gonna keep writing once I reach 10 so I can raise the bar.

skarr	It's not huge though anyone can do it, think they have an offer on on studio time at the minute If I remember correctly, and sorry for coming across as hostile, you seem like a nice bloke to be honest just a bit off key.
DJ Sketchy	Also I don't write the erotic novels. One of my close friends does. She publishes internationally! She said I should write myself! Sy was just unfortunate. Yeah he did wrong. Weather he new he was doing wrong or not is open for discussion.

It's huge as the Organ Donors are SO talented! The jury will be out if the Hardcore we make cuts the mustard. It's sounding banging though! No worries mate, nice to become acquainted!
DJ Sketchy	Shelby Kent-Stewart is the erotic author! (Some friendly promotion for her)
Elipton	So the Organ Donors got bored of Lorenzo as their sidekick and signed you up? I don't think I've heard any material from them despite being in Hardcore for nearly a decade, yet I keep seeing their names pop up as the overseers of these great projects As for that song? You're a worthy second sidekick.
DJ Sketchy	Ah! One of my last stories (I'm running dry of the safe ones) I was at Fusion in Bath, I can't remember if I recognised him, or if I was told. However there was someone sat in a car in the car park who I thought was DJ Sy! I went up to him and said "Are you DJ Sy?" the guy in the car said "No. I'm Micky Finn's driver". I then said "Ahh what's it like to drive Micky Finn around?". The guy said "Yeah good". That was then that. I then attended a rave at the Sanctuary, and I had a stage pass for doing a small bus. Low and behold, that SAME DRIVER was sat back stage, with a record bag. I then went up to him and said "I THOUGHT YOU WERE DJ SY!" HAHA. So that's how I met DJ Sy.

Yeah the Organ Donors are just great. I'm really happy working with them!

If you create a track that just happens to sound like one of the most iconic songs of the 80's, it's usually one you just chuck aside - unless you're deliberately going for a fun take on a classic riff. I've done it, but I didn't try to hide it.

SmashingTheSirens	Not that keen then? His vocal delivery isn't all that bad and his rapping and subjects are just as good as anyone one else's in the game, you might see that as a good or bad thing but I'm not fussed either way. The bits I'm not keen on, and this only my own critique from a musical stand point and not a personal agenda, are the bits where he half raps half sings and it's not to key. Being a musician I put that akin to knifes scratching on a plate! Also he says it's his first mix tape. I wish he'd of gone the Gammer/Whizzkid Querkout route and been a bit inventive and shown off a different side maybe instead of just straight bars. Apart from those things it is what is and what you'd expect to hear in any rave these days.

I liked the 'your' vs 'you're' fails on the 'lyric book' posted on his page and the fact that he failed to use images without watermarks and then overlaid text on top. It gave it a really professional feel.

SmashingTheSirens	Arpz. I didn't even look at that! I was just listening to the audio content. So it's a cut and paste special on Windows Paint then? Sketchy, mate. Don't worry about it mate. It's all a bit silly really. If you're happy doing what you're doing then don't get drawn in. If you wrote it and it sounds similar to something else then so be it. I listened to it and it didn't sound like anything I've heard before. But then again I hate anything pre-90s! I followed the link you your facebook page and watched a few of your videos of you making tunes and you gave some good things going on. Just do what like and don't feel like you have to explain yourself just cause someone doubts you. What happened to community!

A sharp ear someone has to notice the similarities though!
SmashingTheSirens	To be fair it sounds like the old 3 chord trick you've used which in that progression will sound similar to a lot of things. Same with the big standard 4 Major chord progression. Especially in hardcore and EDM, route notes and progressions at its most basic will always like something else. It's what you do with your chords and leads that will make the difference. Don't be off put though :-)

I'm not that clued up on chord progression etc. I just write what sounds good to my ear. I use a NI Komplete Kontrol keyboard, which is awesome! I choose a key (on one occasion I used a BLUES key lol) and then I work out my bass line and riffs on the NI keyboard. Then transfer them to my synth.
arpz	I've just had another look, it's not that bad I suppose but yeah, I wouldn't be using a watermarked photo myself... I'm a bit down on him because at the end of the day it's just a bloke talking shit and making stupid noises on a mic and he acts like he's the messiah. I've made most of my thoughts on him clear throughout this thread anyway, and, as I said previously, no doubt I'll be shouting back at him and throwing my hands up come NYE

The harmful stories I'm understandably keeping private. The stories that you've told us are: "I'm best mates with Hollywood itself" "I'm best mates with everyone in the Hardcore top tier" "I'm Jesus, and Vanessa Hudgen's pre-teen sister is my lover" All false. The stories you've held back: "Someone said someone to someone, but it was too out of order to say - but trust me it was mental" "My alter ego, Paul, said something outrageous to Brisk but I can't say" "I've got loads of stories, but they might affect my career". What's the point in mentioning them? Here's the important part. Just be genuine, and stop begging attention. Your opinion, your music and your tales are more than welcome, but we've seen it all here. Just moderate it. We're keen to hear what you can produce, we're keen to hear what you think about various topics, but we don't want horseshit attention seeking and 9 threads a day of nothing worth reading.

djDMS	Thanks Will, that's another tenner for me!
Triquatra	I suppose it's time for me to own up those lyrics I wrote earlier. I actually just hit "randomise" on a random word generator, and that's what came out. :/
djDMS	I actually wrote them. It's just coincidence if they're exactly the same as the lyrics from another song.
DJ Sketchy	One track, which we are actually in the process of writing, was directly inspired from a classic. I can't show it off though, as I will get in trouble form my producer. I can only really show you that one that I did as a flavour of what we are doing. I won't get into trouble for that bass line being similar to a classic though. It seriously was a coincidence too. I don't sit here looking for songs to copy. I just write what happens when I'm sat in front of the keyboard. It's tough to write original songs!
Impulse_Response	I'm looking forward to the album. Also, I'm embarrassed to admit I'm disappointed that I don't get to hear your "harmful" stories.

Stay out of other people's business! How can we possibly do that when you keep telling us (what i think are made up) stories about all your famous "friends"? Just saying. What. You think MC Storm wouldn't be straight on my case for putting Bull shiz stories about me and him online! He'd chew me up! That's serious! He won't mind me sharing that story. He's a sensitive bloke, if that makes sense. The story is a fun one really. Storm can be fun. Don't mess about with him when he's serious though! The warning doesn't mean much when i'm not convinced you actually know him. Sorry. I'm in the process of writing an album. So what you think I'm gonna burn bridges by making up stories about powerful people in the scene?! You can't burn bridges that were never there to begin with. You're just being ridiculous. I've wrote with Dougal & Gammer, nearly Breeze & Styles. DJ Sy was my best mate. Breeze will hopefully be releasing my singles on his FutureWorld label. I don't understand how none of this is believable for you. I was DJing with all the big names for a solid 10 years! If you don't believe me, fine. I won't waste any more of my time dealing with you. You are like a hardcore version of that Creme Brulee fella from the league of gentleman. I feel like I've logged back into ush.net reading this.

It's a long road until it's finished, as we are only half way through track 2. So another year until we are close to completion. I just can't go into detail regarding the "harmful" stories. Just understand that time is a big healer. I believe there isn't a single person in the Hardcore scene who doesn't try to get on with everyone.

I wouldn't say I 'rebel' against watching it, but if I want to watch something I'll watch it when I'm good and ready. I'm currently halfway through Breaking Bad, we can binge watch it through to the end without the fury of 9 month breaks between seasons.

What I mean is everyone in the Hardcore scene will attempt to get on with everyone, as everyone is innocent initially in the eyes of those in power. Don't get me wrong, someone could just take a disliking to someone very soon after meeting them, which could cause very major problems for those involved. I had a lengthy phone conversation with big name once, as they took a disliking to someone's behaviour to someone who I knew very well personally. So you need to be careful as to how you are treating people! I can't see me writing a book about these stories. I just thought now was a nice time to share some of them :)
DJ Sketchy	Just to add to complications. I had to keep my phone conversation with this big name private, especially from the individual who it concerned. Or I would have been dragged into the problem! You need to tread very carefully when politics are involved, and know when to keep your mouth shut lol.

Somebody else told someone else the wrong thing and somebody didn't get in to trouble. I did. lol that looks like Rebel Wilson. BTW, I actually forgot her name so I started typing fat Australian female comedienne and in the middle of typing Australian it already pulled it up for me. Way to go Google!
Captain Triceps	Didn't know who Rebel Wilson was until I checked. One of them lasses you'd perhaps slip a length at the end of a night out, but not tell your mates.

wong	God i hate that song, hope there's never a gabber remix!
Captain Triceps	I'd be surprised to learn there wasn't one already.
djDMS	I'm writing an album before I leave the scene for good, might cover it on there. 17 tracks and I've had it with this game.

The killers - Somebody told me. OH yea good song. Didn't a pop star cover this song, or maybe there was a UK hardcore remix? I swear I don't believe I've ever hrard the original, but a remix/remake of it.

Skidzorz	Okay I know this topic has gone far off from the MC Storm/AJAY issue, but how the **** was Storm allowed to play both of the Ricta memorial events if he had a hand in his suicide? I get that Storm is entrenched in the scene, but if its common (slash insider) knowledge that Storm contributed to it, then him playing any of those events is beyond disgusting, and I can't beging to understand where someone's head would have to be at to let that happen. If I was friends with Ricta and knew that was the case I'd probably have tried to kill him if I saw him there :/...
skarr	How was he involved in it ?
