Happy 2b Hardcore is so old people. Bonkers is the newest generation of trancecore:









This stuff is so trancy it actually got me listening to more trance.

OMG, Take My Time by Alphadelta is freakin' off the hook...I haven't heard anything like it in a while. The lyrics give it a lot of power...and are made by him, hehe. Me likey how that guy produces.

nice link there .. nice toons ... ty, im feelin inspired again

No one plays happy hardcore anymore. It's all about the freeform/trancecore. The stuff nowadays is almost never happy (its all in minor). It's also much harder sounding.

Naw man, it's still happy...just more serious and better-produced than it used to be (in my opinion).

Freeform is tight. Talk about inspiring music!

comtemporary pop has nothin on Happycore.....

far better songs, lyrics, production, concept, and raw emotion.

i dont listen to the new stuff so I'm probably wrong but back in the day all happy hardcore was, was "Euro" remixed at 160-180 bpms..and I'm talking about "euro" not euro trance...songs like "there is a star" by Pharoh...there was some crazy tracks too...I remeber listening to this cd called "The magic sounds of deep" and it had all this happy hardcore stuff on one track(crazy tunes)..but not my style anymore. I remeber there was this track by 2 Brothers on The 4th Floor called "Come Take My Hand" that was off the hook...come to think of it I have the 12" of that tune, lol(never played it though).

I second the reccomendations by No left turn, being a Hardcore head myself.

Nuff new hardcore there for peeps to check out. Also, the Trancey stuff doesn't really go under the 'old' name of Happy hardcore(It died years ago)) or Happycore(Unless your from America i guess, flippin candy kids )but under
UK Hardcore, but there is also new HHC circulating.

This guy has got his shit on.

I especially reccomend Bonkers 11 - in my opinion it is all Hard Euphoric Trance masquerading as Happy Hardcore.

Check out Crazy Love by Brisk and Ham, Heartbeatz by ?scott brown? and of course Breeze & Styles - You're shining! Was there at Hardcore Heaven for the filming of the video of that one!

IMHO New Happy Hardcore has got a lot to teach trance. People need to just drop the assumption that it is either cheesey fairground music or bangbangbang gabba style music and actually listen to it.

Anyway whats wrong with a bit of love every now and again! Don't be scared of major keys people!

"I feel, alive
now I can breathe again
I call, your name, my friend
I hold, you close
theres fire in my soul
so run, to me, again

I feel you, I want you
I know your touch is all I need
I'm waiting, you're shining"

Yeah, Happy Hardcore was what originally got me away from listening to big beat stuff. I really enjoyed the uplifting melodies. Anything by UFO, Brisk, Trixxy, Breeze, and Styles is good. But here are some good uk hardcore samples.
