I do believe that hardcore would be close to dead if the HU label did not exist. That being said, even Hardcore Underground is not a 'mainstream' form of hardcore. The genre is just about surviving and keeping as relevant as can be.

Because of the Hardcore Summer Bash (2016), I managed to grab this on Bandcamp, http://9bitlogiq.bandcamp.com/
Sadly, the owner of the label has made it private, but I got in contact with him on twitter and he seems quite nice (he's japanese so don't expect wonders) :P http://twitter.com/StackStorm

I know we've looked quiet (premises move *really* didn't help, and general state of the genre is far from where we want it to be) *but* we have been working on stuff behind the scenes.
We ended the year with a bang last year, you can dare to presume we're aiming for the same....
If we can translate that into some genuine scene wide momentum, going forward, we'll all be better for it!

Can someone point me in the direction of these quality releases? Admittedly I don't look for hardcore much anymore, but what I've seen this year has been a massive pile of shite, with the exception of Scott Brown/evolution.
Since our tastes are very similar, I can tell you that this year's releases have mostly been shite. It's just that the handful of survivors and stragglers left on this forum have learnt to adapt to the new sounds of hardcore.
Our preferred sound is dead. It's over. It was an incredble run and I'll never forget it. Some of the best moments of my life have had a hardcore soundtrack. I'm going to continue listening to '01-'12 hardcore until I'm far too old (if I live that long). I'll also keep producing tracks in that style (if only I was half-decent at the engineering part..). I'll do my bit to keep the magic alive. RIP though really.
