Hi fellow DJ's, Producers and listners.
I am starting to build up UK Hardcore collection both Vinyls & Digital Downloads and some little help to get a good start woudn't be wrong.
My mission is to collect all the big major hits that kept UK Hardcore evolving, the tunes that got the biggest responses, biggest & best producers and labels. I'm not looking for that cheezy old happy hardcore sound, lets say i seek stuff between 2002 isch and today ;)
I could start up of what "i like" and maybe you can keep the thread going with artists, dj's, labels that you think fitts my music taste.
Artists:
Al Storm
Technikore
DJ Kurt
Michael Mansion
Fracus
Darwin
CLSM
Darren Styles
Styles & Breeze
Virtue & Slammer
Gammer
Jamie Ritmen
Cube::Hard
Re-con
Squad-E
Hixxy
MOB
Q-Tex
Dougal
Skepta
Gisbo
Demand
Sy & Unknown
Chris Unknown
Impact
Frantic
Labels:
24/7
Essential Platinum
Raverbaby
Return of The Clans
Quosh
Next Generation
Fallen Island
Higher State
Electrik Euphoria Records
UK Dance
Twista
Junkbox
Here is what i can think of at the moment and what i had time to browse fast in my vinyl collection.
The artists/labels that are in bold are some of my extra personal favorites.
So please give me recomendations of artists, labels and i also would apprechiate if you just wanted to recommend some track/s to get me some more inspiration.
Being a hardcore DJ in Sweden isn't easy, it's not often you meet someone who even know what UK Hardcore is... they just ask "oh you meen like Basshunter"... *facepalm*
Well i hope i get some response :) Cheers mates!

Early Raverbaby was actually good, UFOs Music maker with breaker on the flip side is awesome.
The Elation releases were wicked. Whitewidow is an essential tune, also the Whojamaflip label, and Lucky Breaks.

If you're looking to add some tracks to your collection, I have loads of free stuff out. http://soundcloud.com/archefluxx/sets/free-tracks-41/
Also if you're looking for what kinds of sounds have been and gone, check out the TNC label's stuff from Robbie Long and AMS.

Excellent choice in label in Fallen Island. Every release is magical! Mansion is a God.
You don't have any Scott Brown on your list. Check him out, for sure. And his label, Evolution. Tonnes of vinyl. Decent (and set to increase soon, hopefully) digital offering, too.

No. I don't believe we've met... unless you think that I think Basshunter is hardcore? =P
Music Makers' is my favorite on RaverBaby. Too bad 99% of the releases are so far only vinyl

Could'nt agree more. Scott Brown had more UK Hardcore anthems in the 2000's than anyone. Why he just stopped producing I'll never know.
Dok and Ponder had some gems as well as Sparky and Sytronic. Billy Bunter with his label UK Hardcore. Also Sc@r and Uplift and Klubfiller.
New stuff I really dig. Guess my tastes have gone more towards Hardcore with influences from OLDSKOOL/BREAK BEATS/ELECTRO DUBSTEP/HARDCORE TECHNO/HOUSE etc which is less cheddery but still uplifting.
JOEY RIOT
ALEX PROSPECT
MOB
SPYRO
MODULATE
EUFIEON
SHOCK
PINNACLE
PONDER
GAVIN G
CLSM
PETRUCCIO
SC@R
