A bit late as always, but a MASSIVE thank you to everyone who headed along to one of our best PH events since.. ooh, we reckon PH5.5.

It seems the wait (and the wonderfully tacky theme), won many hearts over, and it was fantastic to see the effort many of you made with costumes and of course, your appreciation which made the world famous vibe of Planet Hardcore what it is!

Another PH is being discussed, but like all good things, we don't want to jump the gun and spoil you too early, but will be back before the year is out. Photos have been a bit delayed in coming, but we expect them up on this very site by the weekend - keep checking!

Speaking of the site, we must apologise for the overrule of spambots that took our forum by the balls over the last few weeks, and resulted in us coming to a decision to remove the public posting aspect altogether, and return it to the original intentions as a listening post. We hadn't seen much interaction in a few months, so felt this wasn't a lost cause.

If you have any concerns or comments regarding this (or idneed anything ont his or our other EPL sites), please let us know via the usual channels.

April knocking on our door - and Kam & Scoob-E returned to the UPFM airwaves for our next monthly installment of Hardcore goodness onto Auckland's airwaves.

This month also let our listeners know about PLANET HARDCORE 8, which is (longly) overdue for May (that's, next month sports fans), along with a healthy response from you all about ideas for the next party. Got any yourself? Make sure you let us know about it on our feedfback page!

Don't forget that next month is Planet Hardcore Radio's SECOND BIRTHDAY! Yes, we know it was officially this month, but we forgot - and not all of us were present for the festivities. We can't quite promise the hedonistic 4-hour marathon of last year's anniversary shows, but we'll do what we can with a 6pm timeslot...

I am not a RealPlayer hater and would like to listen please!

Back for March, another PHR hit the waves - and showed we were getting into the swings of having 3 presenters, in a family-friendly 6pm timeslot (apart from the odd profanity that slipped through the net). You should notice that the sound quality of the recordings has now improved dramatically, as we've sorted it out with UPFM themselves to record the shows directly off their webstream server, rather than the rangi efforts we used before...

This month was a "Pharmacy Special" - which, in itself, had absolutely nothing to do with Planet Hardcore, but as we're good mates of Cynergy (and as two of us were playing at the gigs wearing our Hard Dance hats), we felt it fair to slip in multiple plugs for the gig (which, we must say, was awesome), as well a sampler 30 minute set from Delegate/DamNation. Kam and Ares provided the hardcore business, with the latter on a FinNRG tip.

Incredibly dry 'natural' flavour Nachos were served during the show, which answered as to why Scoob had his mouth full for half the show. We quite liked the on-air "crunch test" though. Munch.

As always, head to the Audioforum and check out the set, or be lazy and click below:

Tipped hats all round to BJ again for another excellent set of PH photos! As always, click the images menu above and check out the set, along with a few galleries of previous PH parties too.

We'd also like to thank everyone who came on Saturday for our most successful birthday celebration yet! Poor old Dammers was left somewhat stumped as he finally got to play Gabber at 5am, and yet looked up 20 minutes later to find MORE people there than when he started! Eventually though, we had to pull the plug at 6.40am...

No plans for another PH this year, but we'll be back with Planet Hardcore 8 in the New Year - with another fantastically cliched theme!
