Nice blend of late 92 to 93 old skool, a bit more "ravey" than I usually play and verging more towards the early happy hardcore sound so thought it was appropriate for this forum!

I still wonder how this kind of stuff ever got turned into Happy Hardcore. Was it really Toytown's fault, or was it the scottish bounce scene that jumped in and took over? :P |

It wasn't any one track. People started putting kickdrums on every beat alongside the breaks, tracks got faster, kicks got bigger and more prominent, basslines became less important as a result and breaks where pushed to the back of the mix a bit more. It was a relatively gradual evolution. The Scottish Bouncy Techno played a big part in removing the breaks entirely. |

obviously 1 track doesn't rule them all. But is Toytown a product of these changes or was it just one of the first tracks? |

Product of, it started happening much earlier. Toytown was obviously a big track though so no doubt helped push the sound. |

When I think back about these days I'd say that this genre just developed itself just like all the others. It was the time when Hip House became harder and more oriented to a 4 to the floor beat and became Eurodance; or like Pop music that started to frequently use a dance beat (even some of the embarrassing cheesy Boygroups from the 90's used it).
Or Acid influences which started in House and were copied to genres like Techno and Trance. To me it was all about becoming harder, faster and rave-oriented until the huge break-down in 1997.
I'm a little bit more confused how Breakbeat and Drum'n Bass came into play. because if I compare it to today's styles of these genres I can't find anything compareable (besides Breakbeat Hardcore, which is a developement out of the Hardcore scene itself to my opinion). |
