hi. i'm kinda new to the happy hardcore scene. my extent of it is mostly mixes of songs by anabolic frolic and a bunch of samples from mp3.com. i was curious if you guys maybe had some recommendations for some good djs/artists. i appreciate any feedback, thanks.

Good DJ's to check out would be people like Hixxy, Sy, Force & Styles, Scott Brown, Brisk, Demand, DNA... Keep an eye out for tape packs in local record shops, try the little less none ones, not just yer HMV's and stuff. Basically try out as many types of artist/DJ/style of Hardcore you can find. It's just a case of finding out what you like best.
Oh, and I'd also recommend NOT reading all of oldskools posts, because the one's I've just read are fecking pointless.

thanks guys! silver: i've listened to the broadcasts from this site, it's great stuff but unfortunately when i stream it doesn't show the name of each song.. maybe a quirk in soundjam (mac user). thanks also GT for the list of artists, i'll definitely check them out. i have in fact only been into the whole techno scene for a little over a year. most of my stuff is comprised of trance tunes of the likes of sasha, john digweed, and many trance/rave compliations. i had listened to some hardcore about 6 months into my venture into the techno music scene and really liked it, but really only had what i had bought, to listen to. i wasn't intent on having my musical basis limited on a single dj mainly (frolic) but i liked the tunes of breeze and dougal, and i think it's time i expanded my hardcore tastes much more broadly. anyway, that's my story. thanks again for your help, i'll probably end up being another regular here. :)

ceph - no problem mate.
Tempest, agree that he isn't the tightest mixer ever, but he aint that bad, and he has got a pretty good damned taste in tunes...

heh..yeah..but a lot more than track selection goes into being a good dj...and hes been spinning for how long now? 6 years? give or take? youd think he wouldnt drop beats left and right after that..especially with how much recognition he gets.

You want to play his party you have to be a big name or know him real well, thus you have to say nice things about him even if they are not true. So a big name says something nice about someone then other people think it as well (like sheep)... it's a pity really. |

Good point, he should've got it by now. But, as the old saying goes, it's not what but who you know...
