Did you like Happy Hardcore before you started liking trance/hard house?

I got well into acid house and old skool rave when I was a nipper, then also started liking hardcore, but when happy hardcore came along I avoided it like the plague - most of the tunes are too happy for my liking, apart from owt by Dune (Hardcore Vibes, Hand in Hand etc ) and Nakatomi's Children of the Night, cheesefests! When I discovered gabba I was well chuffed - happy hardcore with no happiness But I still fucking hate it when I hear gabba with an MC

Btw - anyone hear the Sharkey Revolutions EP? Was mint

I never used to know the names of the harder stuff (which is a shame) but i do remember "rush hour" & "wonderful days" both getting me dancing! As far as MC's go 'sneaky eye' used to raise a smile or two in my crew how

Yes i used to. The whole Helta Skelta and Bonkers s**t, was good at the time when i was younger but wouldn't listen to it now. :angel2:

Yeah, when i was about 14, Bonkers nd judgement day!

Scott Brown, Bass Generator, Mc Selector C nd Attack (can't believe i can remember them) Whistles at the ready! I think not!!

Have u noticed tho the likes of Kelly Lorenna etc have started releasing all the old happy hardcore tunes into the charts, like U have a heart of gold!!

its ok my men are on to her :evil:

nah it was hard house for me first, ive never been a fan of hardcore

yeah and I still love it, it's just like hard trance now but faster its quality, breeze and styles are mint.

do you like it with the MC'ing over it?

No way MCing is wank I just like the tunes if you like hard trance theres no way on the earth you can't like it.

This is true. 150bpm is a bit too much for me these days tho

One tune i by them is Your Shining, even got it on vinyl!!

yeah thats quality, if you like that listen to 'All about you' and 'Flow', both featuring Cat Knight the main riff's are so good, and th vocals are fucking amazing.

Used to be a proper raver. All over the country for Rez's, Dreamscape, Helter Skelter, Judgment Days...

Ultrasonic, Carl Cox, Scott Brown,Lenny Dee, Ruffneck Alliance, Neophtye, Forze Team, Bassy G, Loftgroover, Smurf, M-Zone, Mark E G.......

Happy days.

I didnt move to hard house from there though, I moved to progressive,techno and house.

piano

I used to love it,got me into dance music. Used to play Bass Generator, Technotrance and Ultra Sonic tapes over and over again

hehee!!

everyone used to be into it....i did, for sure, when i was about 13/14ish, used to love the rave tapes...always remeber tunes like heart of gold,rush hour etc...

My youngest sister is to this type of music now aswell!

we used to go to my mates farm and spend the night in a caravan with the collesium tapes on the stereo a packet of lambert, bottle of cider and some tac!!

awsome times

Got into it the same way as darkdrums went to 8 Rez's far to many jd/s 2 Helter skelters even a Nightmare in Rotterdam before happy hardcore came in.

It totally killed the rave scence filled into full of charva's into shit tunes went to uni and got into techno and house and everything else.

Still love old school house, techno early breakbeat and some of the full on rave stuff hence i dj Acid House and oldschool techno and run influence a retro night.
