Happy Hardcore - recommendations

[BlackArab]

I lived in a shared house for a few months where we would come back from the pub and whack the Scooter singles video collection on the video. Think we most enjoyed shouting out his slogans in the same style as him. 'It's nice to be important but it's more important to be nice' was our favourite

They've been going for years and are fucking massive - it's pretty bizarre ... A quick search on YouTube shows em doing God awful house like stuff; happy hardcore like stuff; jump style ; hard style like stuff.. They're terrible (albeit in a good way !) but u gotta hand it to them how they've managed to sustain that shit for so long...

like the track on the last page said "we started in 94, and in 96 we're still going strong!"

Happy hardcore is all sorts of wrongness. And we let it happen.

Same with gabber lots of awesomeness mixed with cheesy terribleness ( although some of the terrible stuff can be likeable in some inexplicable way..)

Can't believe I'm actually gonna post on this thread...no offence like!

Happy Hardcore drives me insane probably because when my son first started DJ'ing in clubs this was the genre and I was subjected to many hours of bouncy bouncy music with girls in fluffy bikinis and furry boots traipsing in and out of our home at all hours

Sounds...awful...

I like this one

It's got a melody so....

Gabba is shite. Happy hardcore is at least amusing. early hardcore/150+ hard techno a la industrial strength is boss tho.

I miss frenchcore. There's no label like early epiteth anymore.

A fair bit of industrial strength stuff you'd find on thunderdome mixes and that so dunno if those kinda distinctions mattered too much then...

Earache records brought out an industrial strength mix that introduced a lot of metal kids into hardcore/gabba and what not... Indeed, it was a discovered shared love of Lenny dee that stopped us 'moshers' and 'neds' of Govanhill from having a big altercation and a temporary suspension of hostilities for a bit...

I'm not too big on the industrial strength stuff after 95 tbf. When the clanging machinic techno and warped noises go or are lessened, so do I.

And likewise with metal I'm generally into the dissonant/atonal/noisy stuff.

Sure, i mean even trance used to pop up in techno mixes when it was a trippy and longform germanic take on techno, so I can understand the distinctions not being so relevant. But what i mean by gabba is the Dutch stuff generally.

There was a time back in the 2000s when I really into my Bonkers. I still listen to them but my tastes have broadened since then.

 

[crossthebreeze]

i'm a week or two late but its not a proper cheesy happy hardcore mix without something like these:

 

[crossthebreeze]

This one definitely does

I genuinely believe that my life wont be significantly improved if I hear these, so please. I wouldn't want your ratio damaged.

Although in flac I imagine you hear all sorts of new depths to the music

what do you mean? like a torrent with a single package of all the best tunes ever? I can't imagine the tunes on this thread are very hard to find one by one...
