hardcore used to be about the motif 'AVIN IT' but now it's about love songs taking its self too seriously. using 64bit samples and super pollished production. hadly hardcore is it.

oh and it's all about the $$$ now anyway.

*I say changed, i mean damaged.


Hixxy, breeze, styles, and dougal are all actually gold-eating lizardmen from outer space who are creating music with subliminal messages in them to hypnotize ravers and create their own personal army that they'll use to destroy the world!! We need to stop them before it's too late!

i would much rather see oldschool gabba & the old scottish hardcore or "Bouncy Techno" as
it`s sometimes called make a comeback,
Happyhardcore actually wasn`t as big/popular here as it was south of the border
for whatever reason most people here at that time prefered the harder sounds

and some people are saying Hixxy..Dougal..etc are wasting the scene
they aren`t really..they do commercial hardcore
just dont listen to commercial hardcore there are is plenty of other hardcore out there

You'll have to excuse me, but UK never had these artists. Ofcourse they visited UK to play live, but they are central european artists aren't they?

acidfluxxbass: I don't think Luna-C likes to be called minority :P Considering he never tries to sound the same, I wouldn't call him just a minority trying to make (happy) hardcore

I agree! I am a southener but prefer the harder sounds myself now. Sadly it is just softcore or Nu Style Gabber these days & none of the 'inbetween' sounds. I have some new mixes up soon, check them out for this style...

It wasn't "you had" as in "you were the country that gave us these people", it was "you had" as in "there was", I was not referring to them being from the UK, now c'mon! :-O lol

You'll have to excuse me, but since most people here where from UK, I took that for granted :P

anyways, if you want to make it international, use "We had" instead :)

You should probably check out Happy Hardcore Underground before pinning it all on a single track.

The thing that's sometimes annoying about this forum is so many people just living on their island (sometimes musically, often quite literally) not being able or not wanting to look at the bigger picture and clinging to what they personally grew up with.
There are so many easy answers why UK/Happy Hardcore never has been (really) big and never will be.
And that's probably a good thing. Hardcore always absorbed the mainstream and transformed it. What should happen if it became mainstream? Do you really want to hear David Guetta make Happy Hardcore?

I highly doubt it, here's why.

To so many young people these days, that sort of music isn't fashionable or trendy. It's old, uncool and hasn't aged well. The main music sound is dominated by what sells, not what doesn't.

Yes there are die hard fans who love that sound but it's simply not enough to bring it back.

The people that can make the sound have either left the scene ages ago or are making the new sound to cater for what today's young audience want and will pay money to hear at raves.

The only way for that sound to come back is if someone who made it back then, but left the scene comes back to make that sound, or if someone purchased studio equipment used back then to replicate the sound.

It will never be a sound widely heard at raves again though especially because many of the die hard ravers from back then must be late 30's/40's so probably wouldn't be interested in going to an event even if that sound did come back.
