Clubland Xtreme Hardcore 4
26 February 2008 by SilkyNote to reader: This ad has been hanging round TWA like a bad smell for some time now without me writing about it. So apologies that it might not be currently shown on TV.
Musical taste is an *xtremely* subjective matter. And I suppose that, just as “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”, good music is in the ear of the, er, behearer.
Here’s a confession for you: although often maligned, I actually quite like dance music. There’s something primal about it, you can’t help to move. A bit like Tyres from Spaced. He hears the phone ringing, he hears the kettle boiling, he hears Colin chewing a bone and he can’t help but dance.
I love the electronic sounds used in dance music. You see, as a child I always wanted to live in the future when I grew up (which turns out to be the case) but those electronic noise make me think that I am in an episode of the Jetsons. Not the sub-stylophone ones but the big fat bass one. Yes, one is fairly prone to a bit of bass in one’s mother-fucking face. There’s nothing quite like feeling your internal organs vibrate to the music.
But I think it’s fair to say I’m not in the majority here. In fact, I’d even go as far as saying hardcore dance music, probably, isn’t the nations favourite musical genre (“Hold the front page!”).
This is possibly because most peoples’ experience of hardcore dance is blasted at high volume from a Nova (Side point: Do Kevs (as they were known in my day) still drive Nova’s (as they did in my day)?) passing at high speed.
What’s more, dance music comes into it’s own when you’re in a club actually dancing to it (possibly whilst drunk/buzzing nuts off). Trying to get the same level of enjoyment out of it at home is a bit like complaining that taking Ymea doesn’t really do anything for you when a). you’re not going through the menopause and b). you’re a man.
So it’s wrong for us on the outside of the UK’s xtreme hardcore clubland scene to tar it with the “hardcore dance music is shit” brush.
Or it would be if it weren’t for the fact that hardcore dance music is shit.
And this advert does nothing to help it’s image:
Just look at the people in the advert. Look at them! Oh, the humanity!
I can only imagine that the advert was filmed at a party for people from a council estate celebrating just how rough they are.
Yes, this is one of the cheapest looking adverts doing the rounds in the last few months.
So maybe it’s snobbery that stops me from liking hardcore dance music or maybe is that’s bloody incessant high tempo electronic drum beat playing constantly under that atonal drone and cat calling.
I’m just not sure.

Face-explodingly bad. It reminds a bit of that Futurama episode where Nixon invites all the robots to the Galapagos for a ‘party’ only to try and kill them all. I’m fantasising about setting up an X-TRME HRDCRE KLUB NIGHT ROFLLMAO, locking everyone and setting fire to the place. Does this make me bad?
NB: I think the ‘Barry’s’ (as we used to call them) have migrated onto the Citroen Saxo VTS or Vauxhall Corsa these days.

The talent of these fellows is amazing, they can work a basic sound mixer, play records and make the vocals of songs really high-pitched. Amazing. Anyone wanting to play the guitar, forget it, you need to practice the record player, become a master and get with the high-class girls in this advert. you want inspiration? Go whack three cars at the same time and listen to the alarms go off, an instant hardcore ‘anthem’.
“You can’t get these tracks anywhere else” yeah like they never ever heard of limewire the place the probably got their ‘samples’ from other songs.
By the way, the modern day kev drives the Vauxhall Corsa now.

Maybe the fact you’re a middle aged man has got somethin to do with the fact you dont like it? There’s nothing wrong with Harcore. And as for your comment about it doing nothin for you when you’re at home speak for yourself. It can lift me out of any bad mood. Listen to the lyric in alot of the tunes and you’ll notice they’re all happy. hardcore isnt just about going to raves and gurning your face off, it has a bad rep for that. In my view it cheers people up. Yopu have no right to stereotype people that love hardcore. Alot of us are good decent people that like to go out and dance instead of getting drunk or mashed on drugs…..

What do you mean what shall we call it?!!
‘Anyways, what shall we call this variety of Hardcore that makes people Happy?’
Its Hardcore… It doesnt need any other name lol At the end of the day its nothing to do with it being a shit advert because its doing its job for the people it was made to reach. For hardcore lovers its a perfect video. You wouldn’t understand the people or the music so of course its not going to appeal to you! You say it’s a cheap looking advert but the point isnt to make it fake and gold tinted with bows on, it shows the real side of raves, and thats what ravers want to see!
Silky
Said on the 18 November 2008
Eadesy, thanks for taking time out from your council estate party to comment and good use of CAPITALS there, partner.
How does this float your buttocks: I like to think that hardcore is to music as John Sergeant is to dancing. You might find it entertaining but it’s certainly not *good*.
Hazel, are you trying to say this advert is only for, only for, only for the hardcore UK raver?
Oh, and here are a couple more links you might like to follow too.

May I point out this is not actually the real ad? This is merely a version of it that Clubland TV uses on its own channel. It is a so-called Box Chat where the clubbers get to say something about the album. They just used the sound-bed of the ad. A proper version (sadly without voice-overs mixed in) can be found here: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=gA_hRe1V7v4

No im not saying it’s only for at hardcore ravers but at the end of the day you wouldn’t find them hyping up a charlotte church album to try and get young clubbers to buy it would you? They know the people who are more likely to buy it and thats why its been made that way. Good point about it being the ad for clubland tv though dutch. You’re not going to find old age pensioners watchin clubland tv anyway realy are you…?

You say that, Hazel, but you’re forgetting Charlotte Church is much more pop/dance orientated now-a-days.

charlotte church is commercial pop and in no way dance… i never said anything about her opera days…! shows how out of touch with the times you are by classing her as dance!! hardcore is not commercial….!

“Please find enclosed one postal order for £1.98 and also one mind for mashing….”
Do you see any irony, Kirk, about railing against people who don’t like hardcore by accusing them of having (en)closed minds but in the very same sentence dismissing their opinions by saying “Fuck the haters”. Do you see the irony? Do. You. See. The. Irony?
Oh, dear, sweet Hazel. Sweet, naive, little Hazel. Hardcore is not commercial, you say? We’re having this argument because Clubland are trying to flog us all a CD of hardcore music. As Cloggie points out about, Clubland even have their own TV channel!

Don’t patronize me.
Yes, there are a lot of ‘chavs’ and idiots who do get off their faces at raves and risk their health and possibly their lives but I’m not one of them. I’m a dedicated mother of one and listen to Hardcore because it cheers me up. I like the upbeat rhythms and I like a lot of the lyrics.
Hardcore actually encourages people not to be racist, not to be violent to others and the general message is to ‘feel love’ as it were…
There are plenty of other genre’s of music that do the opposite. I’ve heard music that contains racist comments, I’ve heard music that promotes violent behaviour such as shooting people or beating people up. Take 50cent, the lyrics aren’t nice to listen to, they’re not friendly but the adverts are on TV.
At the end of the day if that’s what people want to listen to that’s up to them. Don’t try to judge me as naive and put me in a category. Yes Clubland do have their own TV channel but why watch it if you don’t like it? Noone’s going to tune into it if they don’t like hardcore. The same as classical music have their own channels. Not every advert on TV would appeal to absolutely everyone, in fact I’d say there’s probably not one advert that actually appeals to every single person. However this is how advertising works. I don’t sit at home watching the news and then start slagging off Heinz purely because I don’t like Baked beans and there’s an advert on for them….
I haven’t been rude to you, i haven’t sat here swearing at you calling you a ‘hater’, I’m merely expressing my opinion that you seem to class this as a bad advert purely because you don’t like nor have any interest in what it’s advertising. I’ve just seen an advert for a Sugarbabes album, and I don’t particularly listen to the music but I’m not moaning that it was on TV!
And as for hardcore being commercial I was talking about the aspect that it’s not chart music, it’s not music played on radio stations, it’s not used in supermarkets and it’s not one of those genres of music where you find yourself humming to a tune you don’t even know the name.
Anyone can advertise a product. It seems that if it were up to you you’d have you own channel where you’d only allow advertisements for things you personally actually like.
The world doesn’t work that way.
If the only way you can reply to comments is to try and insult people by calling them naive because of their views on something I don’t see why you want comments on you reviews anyway!
It’s a free world so express your opinions but don’t shunt everyone elses!
I am not naive, I feel my comments have been fair and not based on swearing at you and rude so try to have the same courtesy please!
As far as I’m concerned you’re entitled to your opinion but slagging off something because it’s being advertised on TV is silly. Slag off the adverts where mistakes have been made, or because you think they haven’t come across in the right way.
“Musical taste is an *xtremely* subjective matter. And I suppose that, just as “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”, good music is in the ear of the, er, behearer.”
You said it…. I might not like the music you listen to but I wouldn’t slag off the advertising for it!

Said on the 24 November 2008
All these long answers are a waste of time. Research has shown that the only people who listen to hardcore are chavs with IQs lower than their ages, and no amount of creative reasoning will disprove that.
If you’re that bothered about adverts being slagged off, perhaps you are reading the wrong blog? Just a thought.
Silky
Said on the 24 November 2008
…and nervous breakdown.
Look, Hazel, this is TV’s Worst Adverts. It’s a tongue-in-cheek look at the world of TV advertisements here in the UK.
It’s main goal is for me to make cheap, infantile jokes largely at the expense of the hard work of the 1000′s of people who work in TV advertising but also at anyone who takes TV adverts a little too seriously for their own good.
I’m sorry if you find some of the opinions on this site offensive but anyone as erudite as yourself must accept that some people will find your opinions equally offensive regardless of whether you’ve been rude or not.
Anyways, let’s forget this whole silly little blog ever existed and go and relax to our favourite music whatever that may be… as long as it’s not hardcore
That’s a joke, obviously. You can listen to whatever you want… just not hardcore.
No, you can listen to it, I’m not a music fascist. Yes, I am. Don’t listen to it, it’s shit.
No, you like it and that’s fine. Do what you want. No don’t.
Arrrggghhhh, life’s a moral maze, it really is.

Oh and Gina i don’t know where u got your ‘research stats’ from.. I’m not a chav, i don’t smoke drugs and drive round in a clio blasting tunes wearing tracksuits… And i don’t have a low I.Q either. Ok so fair play slag the adverts off if you don’t like them but don’t slag off people that you have no knowledge of. We’re not all like that at all and i think maybe you’re the one with the low I.Q for being so small minded and being nasty to people just because they’re not into the same music as you.

I have never commented on a web site before, but in this case felt compelled to do so. Whilst looking for the new Clubland Extreme Hardcore 5 album tracklist I came across this site, and thought you (Silky) are hilarious!
Why would you take the time to write all that when you could be out enjoying your self? What a waste of life!
I have a-levels grade AAA in maths physics and business, I don’t live in a council estate, I don’t smoke or do drugs, and I have many friends the same, and we love hardcore!!
We went to the clubland concert last week and loved it! It’s good music, everyone has different opinions, just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean its ‘shit’ at all, look at the album sales…
As for the TV ad, it shows the energy and enjoyment this music produces! So please stop moaning it’s depressing!!! x
As a matter of interest what music do you enjoy?
Silky
Said on the 8 December 2008
You sound ace, Jiimbo. I wish you were my best friend.
You do seem though – even with all your qualifications – to be one of an ever growing group who seem to think that because something is “popular” means that it’s “good”.
Maybe I’m the one who’s wrong though because, thanks to folks like yourself, this Clubland entry is one of the most popular entries on TV’s Worst Adverts.
As for the music I enjoy, please see this comment – I can’t be arsed to type it again.

This video was filmed at a rave actually, at the Carling Academy.
It is extremely stereotypical of you all to assume that the rave scene/hardcore music is only listened to by chavs/councilite losers.
I enjoy the music and the rave scene and have done for many years now, and i wouldn’t consider myself either of the above things. I am a horsey girl who loves to ride and play polo, but also likes to let my hair down at the weekend and dance for hours
The hardcore scene is growing and the fact that the NEC is holding a rave for NYE for 12,000 crazy ravers is proof towards this, as the NEC in Birmingham is a huge venue, and is used for a wide range of events and activities each year.
I feel your views are also very immature. Might just be me, or maybe u lot have a few issues with people liking somethings that you aren’t so fond of.

this is hilarious!
the rave will always be underground but the music is now well and truly in the public domain. in MY OPINION All Around The World (aka cluBLAND) have destoyed the last shread of dignity in the scene.
i’ve enjoyed the hardcore scene for over 10 years now and i love how the music has evolved but now it’s creativity has been corrupted by it’s migration into the mainstream. give it 5 years and it will probably be ok again.
p.s. anybody notice the sugarbabes remix on cd 2 of clubland 5! nuff said.
Gusto
Said on the 9 December 2008
thing is with hardcore there is something for everyone. some of you on here should give it a try, you never know this advert may form the basis of a brave new world of musical discovery.
i think if you try a rave (where the music is supposed to be listened to) you may be pleasantly supprised at the range of people there and how good the music is in context.
personaly i’m off to fantazia for nye to keep the vibe alive!

Said on the 12 December 2008
Silky, you obviously havent looked deep into hardcore. If you was a producer of it like me, Hixxy, Styles and your most hated Breeze you would know. Hardcore is one of the most technological genres to produces unlike all the Pop, RnB and Ballads etc. out there, you obviously dont know about the time and effort we put in these tracks at all too. To me you also seems like a stereotypical old bloke who cant get his slumpy ass of his computer chair to actually see whats in the world now. To top it all off your views on how good a genre is means nothing to how good the advert is. As stated clearly in an above comment the fully produced video is in the link. Now if you want to criticize that video made by top Producers, go ahead, because your gonna be facing a whole load of comments your way.
P.S., I’d get rid of your picture, its cramping your street cred a little.

Just got Clubland X-Treme Hardcore 5 for Christmas, and through a dull-and-uninteresting story involving wikipedia, ended up here.
I can’t believe how many comments this page has attracted. =P
Clubland X-Treme Hardcore 4 was a good album too, in my opinion. A lot of good energy.
Parts of the advert, though, are damn cheesy. Can’t recall ever seeing it, myself. Seems a lot longer than most Hardcore adverts I’ve seen… They could do with dropping the silly shit about ‘this is the only hardcore album you’ll ever neeeeed!!!!11′, and those weird random parts with ravers yelling at the camera (‘Hardcore till I die!!!!!11′)…
Stick to mentioning what kinda tracks are on it, and playing a bit of some of them, I say. Loved the shots of the big crowds raving, though. Was at Gatecrasher Summer Sound System this year, and it’s great to see the big crowds from a better angle that when you’re out there. =P
As for all the stuff about people should have open minds… I agree, people should. Or not, if they don’t want to.
Personally, I like to think I do. I was at Gatecrasher, like I said, but I was also at Download Festival this year, and last. I like musical styles ranging from Hardcore through Psytrance, through drum&bass, to punk, rock, grunge, metal, soul, hip hip, jazz, blues, reggae and even ska… Once saw a ska haters page, actually… That was creepy…
Peace and love.
Or war and hate, if that floats your boat.
Happy raving/happy hating!

I can honestly say out of all of my mates that theres definately a distinct difference between attitudes and lifestyles of those who listen to this hardcore and those who listen to other more tasteful and creative music,
its really as they say simple things please simple minds
i have been to many gatecrasher cream and godskitchen events and have been to a handful of raveolution or other crap hardcore events,
hardcore raves attract groups of chavs (majority) who take too much E and drink too much booze and fight, quite simply the majority of people who listen to hardcore and religiously frequent the raves are drug users or friends of and or heavy consumers of alcohol with a tendency to have to prove their machoism
ive never seen any bother like that at godskitchen or crasher,
and to say the music if you can call it that is cutting edge its not, its 110% recycled or totaly uncreative and generic, also hardcore by defenition surely is stereotyped by the chav generation i mean who else is it meant to appeal to,
to sum it up, :
terrible tattoos
terrible music
shit lighting
shit djs
high risk of hiv /aids /gonhorrea whooping cough /the plague etc by being within 1 mile of major clubland extreme promotional event
in every household ive been in ./ person ive met which is about 90% in my lifetime very sadly!! those who listen soley to hardcore usually love whitestar/lambrini wear lonsdale religiously or umro,
i note the adidas y3 copies airmax off the back of a wagon or fake fred perry tops are the in thing
i honestly despair at those around me, now im off to put some real choonz on,

Yeah Silky… You Hater, you. Hardcore is really hard to produce… First you have to turn on a drum machine… then you get 10 samples from “tinternet” then you slap it all in Cakewalk and 5 minutes later you have tune… And to think I have spent years learning musc theory and chord progression and scale and modes for absolutley no reason…. And who wants to wake up next to the fake tan of last night’s one nighter? And they say computer games don’t affect people… if that were true we would all be wandering around dark rooms, munching pills and listening to repetitive music…

Good post. I hate hardcore music with quite a lot of venom. I just don’t see (or hear even) what there is to like about. I feel sick thinking about listening to it now. This is dance music for morons, made by morons. Want some some decent dance music, seek out out a good trance CD. Just a shame that trance is tarred with the shit brush that hardcore so rightly deserves. It’ll fuck off sooner or later though. Good riddance to it.

But u see it won’t ‘fuck off’ any time soon, as a genre its getting bigger and bigger every day. You are wrong to stereotype it in such a way. I’m sure what ever genre of music you listen to, we could stereotype u into. Many people say whoever listens to grunge music wants to kill themself. If i were to be stereotyped, I’d rather do so for staying up all night, dancing around a little costume than as a suicidal…
Most of the people associated with hardcore are complete wankers, but u have to give a bit of lee-way to those who can’t be put into a category like that, but just enjoy listening to the music. Maybe the suicidal grunge listeners should take a listen, they don’t call it Happy Hardcore for nothing.

Hardcore is the ginger, step-child runt of the dance family. In fact the only other dance genre that comes close to matching it’s pure shitness is gabba, and it’s related speed-core subgenres.
Techno, however, stands proud, tall and strong and beats this embarassing, vulgar bastard.

no need for the hatred of hardcore, you cant beat the feeling in the hardcore rave mate, thats coming from a experienced clubber been to trance,drum n bass,techno,house,hard style,hard house,hard dance,rock/indie gigs and events etc loved all of it pretty much but some of the best nights of my life has been at hardcore raves the atmostshere,people,music,women all been top notch,
most people are just there for a good time and are sound.
happy days.
ok it is true there are few chav nobs that listen to hardcore and start trouble at some events, only seen that once at a bigger slammin vinyl event but who said life is fair ?
Till you’ve experienced something to the full you don’t know the score,dont need narrow minded people like that at raves anyway.

The advert was amusing, but what’s even more amusing is all the comments.

I can’t imagine people still listening to hardcore when they’re 70.

Before I start here is what my problem is with….”I can only imagine that the advert was filmed at a party for people from a council estate celebrating just how rough they are” What a load of BS! I am what I percieve to be a very middle class girl, my father is a solicitor and my mother is a riding instructor yet I am also a raver, *shock, horror!* This is an advert for the music, not the people so what you think they look/are like is irrelevant to say the least! British hardcore is loved all over the world, but british pop isnt quite so loved. Whatever you may think of it, hardcore has the ability to bring people from all walks of life together like all music, so is one advert enough to stereotype ravers? I DONT THINK SO! Grow up.

Hardcore = rave = pills = looking and acting like a fuckin twat. Im sorry but you have to be in a very unfit state of mind to find this shite slightly enjoyable. I would like to see these so called middle or upper class people stone cold sober dancing round their living room high on the joyous sound of hardcore, BOLLOCKS!

Looking back at the comments I notice a lot of people saying “if you don’t like hardcore you have a closed mind”.. I for one would like to disagree, take Kurt Cobain for example, I bet he didn’t like hardcore, and who can say he has a closed mind??

Ok, i know im a bit late commenting but i thought i would like to ad my opinion.
So first of all, the people who keep saying that its only chavs and people on drugs etc is totally off, there are people of all backgrounds that listen to hardcore including, yes chavs but also people you would call normal. Also you cant say that genre’s like RnB, Rock or any genre for that matter dont have people on drugs or narrow minded people.
A few things to say about several comments –
HAFOOT
“And what’s all this hardcore till i die business?
I can’t imagine people still listening to hardcore when they’re 70.” – You are probably right, they wont be listening to it when there 70 but the phrase Hardcore Till I Die (HTID) is more like sayin that they have a love for the music and will always be a follower in hardcore.

“British hardcore” – Its known as UK Hardcore

“I hate hardcore music with quite a lot of venom. I just don’t see (or hear even) what there is to like about.” – I dont see how people could like goth music but im not going to bash it because i dont like it.
Now lets face it this advert does suck, but please dont mock the music because of a simple advert not prduced to the standards of your liking,

This is really a comment for people who’ve posted in this thread and in the one for Clubland Xtreme Hardcore 5, saying that they well love hardcore and can’t stand all the people slagging off the adverts cos they’re clearly haters…
This is a site for people to slag off adverts. Some of the adverts are for Clubland, but most of them are not. If you are into hardcore, but don’t know what this site is, then you’ve clearly stumbled on it through an accidental internet seach. And I would just ask… who is the sadder person? The one who sits around slagging off adverts? Or the one who is so well into hardcore that they type ‘clublnd hardocre 5′ into google?

Archers…(or whatever your twat name is…) i think you don’t you enjoy life enough! so you think you can make this site and try to blamn it on ravers just because you hate the ravers and keep complain how suck is your life is!
sure no one not typeing on this page but who cares! if you want to turn tour life around…then join the ravers, then if you gonna to make a exeuse then be my guest! because sooner or later you gonna to realilsy complaining that all you good at!
let me give you tips to remember: ‘life is worth it, if passion fulfill it..

Judging from the number of well thought out, lucid arguments presented here I would suggest that pleasure derived from hardcore is inversely proportional to IQ.

“take Kurt Cobain for example, I bet he didn’t like hardcore, and who can say he has a closed mind??”
- well he ‘opened his mind’ all over the wall of his garage with a shotgun didnt he?
id rather listen to a music scene whos figurehead isnt a manic depressive smackhead anyway
As far as clubland xtreme goes though, most of the tunes on it are proper cheesy anyway, its all about the events, and unless youve been to a hardcore rave, like experiencing anything first hand, i really dont see how you can have such a strong opinion on it. Each to their own.

Yeah ,anyone else notice that us hardcore haters can string a sentence together and still remain critical cynical but reasonable in our arguments where as the hardcore kiddies only come backs are get a life , lighten up, and telling us were all goth mopers and twats – quite frankly im no goth or fucking emo or whatever-theres a lot more music other than just hardcore and grunge and frankly i think they are both utter shit, and as you have almost all proved hardcore is the music of the narrow minded ruffian-i bet you all love jeremy kyle aswell, dontcha
