HH was big up in t'Lakes with the raving crew in the 90s. Slipmatt, Hixxy, Sy, Brisk. Bonkers compilations.


This was a hands in the air classic.

bandz ahoy
Happy hardcore was actually one of the first genres I remember being obsessed with. I was about 12-13. My older sister had walls covered in flyers for Dreamscape and Helter Skelter raves (don't think she ever went to any) and a Moving Shadow bomber jacket and lyrics from happy hardcore songs written on the walls in red marker pen lolll

I had a United Dance tape pack that I played endlessly. And curtains.

Dunno what happened exactly but I got into gangsta rap instead and threw my happy hardcore tapes in the proverbial bin.

I'm not opposed to the genre in principle but I must admit I find it hard to listen to now. Could be a "class" thing I suppose. Does make me wrinkle my nose with disgust at the spectre of the working man downing his tools and rising to take my property.

pass the sick bucket
this stuff is actual pop music (not artpop or all that pretentious wank) in its most avant-garde out there form. its extreme in its own way, the tacky organ riffs, the foghorns, the arpeggiated synths. it's pure Kate Bush, undiluted pop music, relentless surrender to the pleasure principle. what's not to like? Carly Rae Jepsen et al only professionalised it and sucked all vitality out of it, and made it artpop.
