I sure am talking about UK Hardcore! Of course I am also talking about, US, Canadian, Spanish, German, and Italian Hardcore as well.
But I digress...The IMO, Juno, and NEC digital sites have HUGE libraries and growing exponentially, most of the new vinyl releases from the major UK labels get a digital release as well. There are a LOT of digital releases that don't get vinyl releases. Those sites to which I mentioned are also putting out their old stuff on digital release but not on vinyl meaning that very shortly their digital catalogs will be larger then their vinyl catalogs.
The All-4-1 collective ALWAYS had more digital then vinyl due to old stock, digital exclusives (on CD's or the site), and the random digital tracks Luna-C used for his sets then released. Wizbit just digitized his entire back and current vinyl catalog. In fact KFA has repeatedly threatened to drop vinyl altogether and would have done so years ago if not from rigorous protest from people like me.
So to imply that UK Hardcore is a vinyl exclusive genre, even to say mostly vinyl...is simply, and sadly not true.
