I'm pretty new to Happy Hardcore, and I've been listening to [Big In Japan by Tokia](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEniEktRsGY) a lot recently. I found a version online with a lot more lyrics, but its only on one website as a minute long sample. I know this isn't really happy hardcore but I don't know where to ask

This is my second big release, 4 tracks. You can download it or stream for free on bandcamp, or stream on all platforms.

Tracks 1, 3, and 4 are influenced by 90's Chedder vibes and early amen breaks hardcore. Track 2 is breakbeat hardcore. All my stuff is 168bpm if U want to mix it.

Feel free to give any and all brutal feedback, rip this release to shreds here and I'll read and respond! I'm working on new music so it will help me out.

Would of been early 2000s

Been loving the Happy hardcore sound recently but quickly realised a lot of stuff is not on spotify. Anyone got any recommendations of mixes/CDs to look for on Spotify. Mostly loving the big names atm like Hixxy, Darren Styles, Scott Brown, etc, so anything like them would be appreciated thanks

After hearing someone say yesterday how good Brisk was to a friend of theirs I’d be interested to hear more. Let’s hear yours!

I’ve bumped in to DJ Vibes a few times at West Ham. He doesn’t know me and he’s always been a massive hero of mine. In the handful of times I’ve met him he’s been fun, chatty and genuinely pleased to talk about hardcore (and football!). Livelee was with him on one occasion too, also happy to pose for a photo together.

I did some graphic design work for UFO back in the day too and he was also sound, funny and helpful.

Met Jon Doe/CLSM once too. Another very down to earth and interesting g guy!

Every few years I come across these old happy hardcore mixes. No matter what my state of mind at that point, it always cheers me up. I know these mixes so well I will scratch the left, pod up the right, and crossover on the beat with my Air Technic 1200's. In the car? At the Kroger? Doesn't matter. I'm in the zone.

What a beautiful journey you take with every track. Intro sets the pace until the beat abruptly stops and you find yourself wandering this pleasant open field. Some familiar lyrics from some familiar song, long lost in time, slightly pitched up by the high BPM. Suddenly you see a hill and start your journey up. You realize it's getting very steep and you can feel the top is near. The anticipation is palpable. Finally, you reach the top and for just a brief second you get the privilege of catching your breath...

...then the beat drops!!!!

I love most music and EDM is not my typical day to day listen but something about happy hardcore always brings me to pure joy. I just thought I would share my thoughts. I'll likely wear these old mixes out over the next few weeks, but I will be back. I always come back.

Be safe, cheers!

I've been going back to some No Left Turn these days and I would really like to find the tracklist for this mix. I'm only looking for one song, it's about 18 minutes in.

"I feel more free now than I've ever been"

I've been looking for like an hour, I've searched every lyric from the song in the mix, cannot find it!

Up next, it ain't easy being cheesey! So take your time, no rush 😎

Too much on to keep up, both guys have made amazing tunes. Read earlier there was an issue between them? Chuck me a bone fellas. Thanks
