So...
Happy hardcore is probably one of my favorite subgenres of hardcore, right up there with artcore. Starting as part of the UK breakbeat scene of the 90s and continuing to be its own subgenre, I absolutely love the vibes this kind of music gives off. I always picture that classic smiling yellow face when it comes to happy hardcore.
Its to big!!!!I'm happy that these kinds of genres are making a comeback, especially with artists who are still in this vein like Paul Elstak.
My favorite part of all this would be the melodies made with stabs, which are basically the essence of this genre, especially the piano ones, which are the catchiest and most entertaining. And we can't forget the breaks, which are basically playing for a long part of the song—sure, 3 or 4 minutes at 175 bpm, you can fit a long stretch of breaks in this. But for the most part, the vocals would win out, about anything: love, happiness, dancing, or even nothing at all... but always with maximum energy.
Moreover, artists like Paul Elstak, DJ Seduction, Scooter, and Technohead, and although there are tons more who brought this genre to a great wave of artists, you could say that these are some of the most outstanding. But even so, you can't deny that they all create musical gems.
And if it’s not your thing, that’s totally fine.
You might just need to turn the volume up a little 😉
And alsooooooooooo.....
If I had to choose my all-time favorite track, I wouldn’t hesitate for a second.
LIVE THE FUTURE by DJ Pooch.....ITS INCREDIBLE
(I'll probably learn to write more professional blog posts eventually, but for now I don't really know what to say. I love this kind of music, but my words get too tangled up to express what I like. But I'm happy to be able to try and share it :))))). )

I LOOOOOVE HAPPY HARDCORE!!!! It's easily my favorite subgenre, I could listen to it for hours and never get tired of it! I especially love the oldskool piano stab-filled style. I've already given a listen to those Happy Rave CDs with the little devil guys on the covers, and I've been meaning to listen to every Bonkers as well, I've only listened to one or two of those so far. Gotta give Next Generation records a good look too, I really like that red alien guy they've got for a mascot. There's so many good songs, it's always so hard to choose my favorites. I could probably be here all day listing off songs I really like. But here's a few:
Seb - Rainbow Island
Tiny Tot - Discoland
Ina-State - Forever Comes
Eclipse - 24-7
and of course: Nakatomi - Children of the Night
