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

Love that tune aswell. It's mint.

I used to buy all the helter skelter packs when I was bout 14. My brother and all his mates listen to it now. So sure will have to endure it when i go home for xmas. Always funny watching bunch of 16 year olds jumping bout though

I used to love collesium tapes too.When I was in that phase.

we are the children of the night, fight for the ruture of our nation, lets come together and unite, nothings gonna stop us now,

GET UP GET UP GET UP now is no time to change GET UP GET UP GET UP dont ever let 'em put you down, come along and join the scene, live your life like a rave machine!

oh the good times. i was well into my afterdark like the little charva scum i was. was a good laugh though.

and with the R.E.S.P.E.C.T coming on with the badboy Techno T, coming after the afterdark crew,
you you you,
i said'a listen everyone, rocking here tonight, sound of my badboy Techno coming on strong
(here we go again) lets all like to kick to the beat now lets all like to jam, sound of ma dj working up to take it up again,
i said a'listen to the music,
now you all know the score,
and its 'a 1, 2 , 1234!!

come on mc techno t!

Techno T was by far the only decent MC in the North-East IMO. I did a caricature of him and Bass Generator and they used it on one of the Judgement Day flyers! I used to go to Judgement Day religously Lol! I even got into After Dark for free having spraypainted a portrait of Techno T on the wall inside. Then i started getting into DJ Scott's hardhouse warm up's then it was Sundissential for me!

Not really in2 'happy' hardcore at all, but used 2 love proper hardcore and techno. raves were THE place 2 let yer hair down. everyone was equal and no-one gave a fuck about what anyone else was wearing.
I hear the odd rave tape now and it sounds cringetastic, esp the MCing, but at the time it was fucking amazing: MC's jimmy g-force, stompin, daz attack, baz masterrhyme, sub zero all bigging the crowd up.
And of course the bands/live PAs, plonkers in clown suits pretending 2 play keyboards/whateva hehe. Fucking class with their indoor fireworks, wailing vocals, top class dancers, etc etc
No booze on sale made for an amazing atmosphere.
Great days!!

I think my favourite MC lines from the happy hardcore days were :

"AT THE FRONT, COME ON !!!!"
" AT THE BACK COME ON !!!!"
"AT THE FRONT"
"AT THE BACK"
"RUSH COMING ON GIVE A HEART ATTACK"


or the DJ stopping a record suddenly, the MC tapping on his mic and saying " who's that at the door ???" tapping the mic again "who's that at the door" then the DJ whacking the song back on and the mc screaming "ITS THE FUCKING HARDCORE"

When I was about 13 I used to listen to all that stuff Its the law isnt it?

Rush hour, discoland, field of dreams, children of the night, shooting star...

All around the time when i used 2 go to ice rink like a little charva scum Funny but..soo embarassing when u look back! :blush:

lol i used to live in adidas tracksuits, and nikey air max ffs!

so made me laugh!....live ur life like a rave machine!!
aww the charv memories! xx

agreed

still lovin the hardcore scene me


going to get ripped to shreds by the board police for that comment

nopers, never liked it at all whatsoever

I liked happy hardcore from a young age, about 10ish I think, so can remember the old rez tapes and CDs. Thankfully though, I've never been to any of the 'big' hardcore nights (that includes the after dark, etc.)

I was into it until about a year before I got my decks, when I started getting into trance and house

i was never a big fan, i liked bits n pieces but i was a picky cnut

NAR !

Electro --> Hip Hop / rap --> Acid House --> Belgium techno --> Dutch hardcore rave --> gabber --> gabba --> speedcore --> Spice Girls --> Steps is how it went for me !

Unfortunatly I still get subjected to it on my travels and some of my mates are still making it. Although it has been re-invented under the name 'UK Hardcore' to make it sound more credible and a lot of the cheese has has gone from it.

Hmm, busy doing what ?? what did I do now ? heh

is that Binni tape from Nocturnal ?? very nice !

Richer Sounds, eye.

I used to listen to QFX and The shamen
