Happy hardcore anyone?

If your going to hate then don't bother posting.

Been looking for some good HHC tracks.

Not really sure where to start in terms of producers / remixers etc.

Any recommendations?

nitride, depends on what your after,, if your wanting new shit,.. i cant recommend tracks.. but producerwise and label-wise.. you cant go far wrong with brisk, brisk & ham, scott brown, joey riot. and labels: evolution & next generation.


and seriously dood.. if your just starting out on new happy hardcore.. id quit right now, as its fucking shite, you missed the best era of it by about 13-14 years... and you missed the second best era of it by about 5 or 6 years too, all the new stuff is just flip & fill and cascada shite pitched up with a harder beat.

gabba is the way forward my fine fellowed friend, check labels like audiogenic, rebelscum, deathchant, strike, noistorm & nordcore... its ok, you can borrow some of my knickers

not sure its what ur after but Dune is pretty cool imo. still, 15 years later, it sounds fresh.

Scott Brown is awesome, really like the tracks I got of Joey Riot as well.

Couldn't really find any Brisk... Im guessing he was a vinyl jockey, lol

that's where it was at its best imo anyway mate. for 3 or 4 years then it went happy & all the stuff like Vibealite & dance paradise was awesome, then by 98 it was getting a bit meh, and by 2000 i gave up on it for good until there were some ok tracks in 2004-5 but then once again it turned into turd.

However, some 'good' tunes just to help the guy out

bang the future - bodyslam
the vampire - teknophobia (sharkey remix)
dj seduction - samplemania
Sy & Unknown - Cape Fear
sharkey - distant dreams

Bonkers - Hixxy & Sharkey

and

Hardcore Feelings - Charly Lownoise & Mental Theo
Wonderful Days - Charly Lownoise & Mental Theo
Rainbow to the Stars - Dune
It's Gonna Be A Fine Night - Micado
Hardcore Muthafucka - Nasty Django
Alles Naar De Klote - Euromasters
Fairytales - 2 Brothers on the 4th Floor
Can't Stop Raving - Dune
Are You Ready To Fly - Dune
Don't Touch That Stereo (Hands Off Mix) - Marc Acardipane

Those are just some tracks off the top of my head. They're not all happy but they're good nonetheless. All the Dune and Charly Lownoise & Mental Theo are the best ones up there, imo.

Here are some nice compilations from Arcade:

Rave Parade:
Rave Parade - Ravers Unite

Rave Parade 2 - World Party
