Meh.

Completely misread the OP.
'Expect' instead of 'except' xD

I thought this might've gathered speed by now. Either people don't know or people don't want to say.

If nothing else, what truly winds me up is how woefully underutilised we are. I get that the major players are convinced they are royalty and inherently better than us or anything we do or could ever do. It's hardly a secret that the only way to get cred in this scene is to succeed outside it. Stature in the past was based off platforms, at least *use* us ffs. How can anyone look at the past 5 years and conclude HU is an outfit not worth engaging with. It's criminally stupid. I propose a death sentence.

If only the average raver could see beyond names and perceived status.

I think they can. I also think aspiring types are finally seeing the glass ceiling is unbreakable if you approach from below.
Grassroots revolution and public hanging of the autocracy in 2017 is feasible. The irony is I think it will be them tying their own nooses.
I really did try to be nice, reasonable and fair. For years, met with staggering ignorance and indifference. Remember that if I seem atypically harsh, blunt, disregarding and demeaning in future months. Cruel to be kind, greater good, wheat/chaff, yada. A war has two parties fighting, and I don't see any fighters left. Pretty relic armour, maybe.

To be honest,I reckon you've done well to hold back for so long.
What happens next is others doing, not yours

See, that's not what I think. We've held back for common good, long and lonely. On a level playing field it's not even a competition. Castles and thrones are misleading, revolutions are borne of dischord and discontent..
Step back, and look at what has actually been done, released, executed and capitalised upon in the past few years. Imagine the industrial revolution creeping towards the world known. Look at weaponry, wit and warranted malice.
Place your bets.

... And if you read that and think "that's overly dramatic" you're right. It's all depressingly needless.

You're a reasonably big operation with a big reputation. Don't you think that after such event successes that HU could have an events team or something?
I personally feel like if there's a pool of artists, connections and experience, you could do it. The problem is, you'd need other people to help and take on responsibility. I know you're passionate about HU, but hopefully not so much that you're afraid to take risks (I know you take risks with every release, but I mean taking a plunge into a new area of the industry. After all, it's reasonably well known now that there's more money in events than in the music itself).
You mention that you don't get a look in with other labels and they're doing stuff without HU, but could that be a problem? You're telling us, and could that damage other peers' trust in you?
I think HU events would be a nice thing - sort of like Hospitality by Hospital. Your artists tend to play at all these events, it's a shame they don't play at many organised by yourselves.

We're setting up an international tour for early next year; as far as the UK goes we'll keep working with RR, and SV.
I *hate* running events.

Wait, is that your way of saying that next year's HTID USA may not have Fracus & Darwin on the lineup??? And if they get a hardcore stage at EDC like I've heard they've been trying to do they won't be there either???

Ajay gets binned off from HTID (or quits, depending on who you listen to) due to Storm
HU don't appear at HTID again
Rabbit hole?
