Just a few weeks ago we made the announcement that we were sponsoring ACen’s Friday night party. What used to be known as the Underground Groove is now being called “HARDCORE SYNERGY”, a party based on the idea of people from around the world working together to promote hardcore music. We’ve now opened the official website for this party, which will feature frequent updates on the event itself through ACen. This website will be a permanent fixture, which will be updated to feature pictures and other media after the event is finished. You can check it out at:

Along with the launch of the site, we’re happy to announce that NO+CHIN will be coming back along with DJ CHUCKY on behalf of GUHROOVY. They have something special planned for the party itself, and rather than spoil it now we’ll just tell you all to keep your eyes on the hardcore synergy website for future updates.

As many of you know, we sponsored DJ CHUCKY, M-Project and NO+CHIN at Anime Central 2007’s Soap Bubble party. This year we’re coming back and we’re pulling all the stops. On Friday, May 16th 2008 in place of the annual Underground Groove party we’ll be holding HARDCORE SYNERGY, an event featuring some of the most talented Hardcore DJs Japan, the US and the UK have to offer. Our lineup still isn’t 100% finalized with a few more DJs lined up but awaiting confirmation. Currently confirmed to make an appearance are:

DJ CHUCKY (GUHROOVY)
DJ Da/Le (AVSS)
DJ Silver (Happyhardcore.com)
DJ Comet
M-Project (TERRAFORM MUSIC)
Jakazid (Nukleuz)
DM Ashura (BMS)

As stated, this isn’t necessarily the final lineup. We’re currently talking with a few more artists and as such we won’t release the final schedule until everyone is confirmed. Anyone who attended last year’s Soap Bubble can tell you that the guys from GUHROOVY put on one hell of a show, and with 2 of them confirmed to be coming back, along with a plethora of some of the best that the worldwide hardcore scene has to offer, this is surely an event you won’t want to miss.

Along with the party itself, we’ll have a sales booth at the convention just like last year. We’re currently toying around with ideas for some exclusive merchandise and new items to debut at the event, as well as building our inventory up for all of you who’d prefer to buy from us in person. Other events are still being worked out and will be announced once we have a solid plan. The convention is only 2 months away though, so expect more news to roll out pretty frequently up until the convention itself.
