I like it how people complain about sifting through mp3s, when sifting through records where no different, and you couldnt listen to samples (not all stores allowed that!) like on a digital store :P
And don't forget, there were numerous CD outlets that featured the tracks either already on Vinyl or upcoming, so there was some advertisement for a label. There may have been fewer labels back then, but the effort put into the tracks was much more imaginative, creative, and energetic. I was fine with mp3 releases up til around 2012-ish when download sites exploded with random labels just releasing whatever. I miss how SeriousSounds had all the labels organized! All you had to do was click "Hardcore", and bam! There were all the labels and all you had to do was click.

Okay, but last year you could just wander into our website and nab DJ Tools, HHU, etc and do fairly well. You're bemoaning a lack of UK Hardcore CDs but we released more albums last year than the previous four combined?

Been into hardcore since very early days of me being around 11 years old! (22 years ago) but started growing out of it around 2009ish now listen to gabber, I do still listen to hardcore every now and again though I haven't completely disowned it! Also like a bit of hard house too, but hardcore was my 1st love :)

TBH more like hardcore has grown out of me. Still like the older stuff.
Some of the new stuff is good, but increasingly harder to find from the stuff i don't like. To the point i don't actively follow the "scene" anymore, apart from this site of course.

uk/happy hardcore is generally good for a chill out room at events

ty. what a boss. and you run the happy hardcore page on fb. your presence is like an omnipotent hardcore angel ;)
i haven't been groovin to hardcore since 99 or anything; but i still get the same stupid grin on my face when i hear a hardcore track and can't help but move and be filled with the holy hardcore spirit; and i can't/ don't see that going anywhere; anytime soon :) . an integral part of maintaining a day to day positive outlook and a great physical release. i love dnb & psytrance as well along with other genres; but nothing will ever hit like uk hardcore for me. when i go into a room full of people who all feel the same; it is seriously like a dream. that energy simply cannot be beat. i don't think you can grow out of loving that. my body will grow out of it long before my mind ;p

That's why HU is one of my fav. labels! I was just meaning that back in the 90s/early-mid 2000s, there was just a more abundance of series: United Dance, Bonkers, Absolute Hardcore, Hardcore Heaven, Original Hardcore, Hardcore Nation, HU, etc. It was meant towards the comment that you couldn't sample vinyl in every store, but that there were still ways labels got their tracks out to the public via CDs.

websites have the play button, and you can sit on your ass with a few tinnies and go through 20 pages of the back catalog in a hour
