Happy New Hardcore Year 2010!
While I’m sitting here writing this in a cold night, I start to think of the past year and how much it has meant for me and for our scene. We’ve experienced a series of setbacks during the year, but have only come out stronger and better than ever before. Hardcore Underground 4 received rave reviews and was praised by many as THE hardcore album of 2009 and rightly so! On various message boards people were going nuts over the quality of the album. We thought we had already outdone ourselves with Hardcore Underground 3, but Hardcore Underground 4 really pushed the scene forward into the next level.
Thinking about it, it was pretty easy to see why we succeeded and met our goals. We simply gave the people what they were asking for: Hardcore with passion. We featured talents such as Darwin, Fracus, Nu Foundation, Brisk. Even producers that had publicly announced their retirement from the hardcore scene couldn’t resist the urge to flex their creative muscles and showcase them! They could finally see the light at the end of the tunnel which they had almost forgotten about, since it was so long they even saw a glimpse of it. But even more importantly than the familiar quality provided by our passionate veteran producers has been the advent of so much new talent. Talent that hadn’t even been given a chance before the arrival of the Hardcore Underground series. It’s been clear to us that the torch needs to be passed on to the new generation of producers as the old generation simply doesn’t seem to be on top of their game anymore.
The new year will provide a new revelation to the hardcore scene, as we’ll be pushing the envelope even further with new releases, gigs, events, tracks and artists. I can’t say too much at the moment, because everything is still very secret, but suffice to say, when the year has passed, you will look back at this post and understand what I was on about!
I’ll see you again in 2010, stronger than before.
