what age did you all start getting into HHC music and who was your favourite Dj around at that time
I got into it a few years ago after listening to my sister Archaos tapes and Scooter tapes
Happy Hardcore Forever!! |

I discovered hardcore at the age of 12 in 1996. And I still love it today!
My neighbour lent me a tape with Dougal and Vibes live b2b at Dance Paradise. It featured THE ORIGINAL "Now Is The Time".

Being not as old and as wise as a lot of you  I only really got into hardcore a few years back when I listened to one of my mate's slammin' vinyl tapes with a drum & bass remix of heart of gold on it. My favourite DJ was Vinylgroover, Ravin', I'm Ravin', Time & Just For You were and still are bloody amazing tunes.

I was a big fan of the Jungle sceen, which kissfm started playing maybe 4 years back. Back then kiss had some sweet nights I think wednesday was HHC night, bringing some of todays top dj's. I think tues was Jungle night and thats how I got into HHC. I used to listen to it then and got hooked.
I was about 17 and I had a helter skelter tape, don't know what it was cos it had no label on.

When I started loving HHC? That's hard to say..
I've been loving the German band Dune right from the beginning in 1994. Just last year or sth i realized it is kind of happy hardcore (if not even better in a way :-þ) - then i started downloading all the stuff by Brisk, Paulina Taylor, Bang, Ham, Paul Elstak etc.
So it's either by the age of 11 (1994) or by the age of 17 (2000) when i started loving happy hardcore ;o)

Like Silver, I was well into my hip-hop (sort of still am) - so I got some decks in about 92/3 to scratch mix. Then i started experimenting with hip-hop tunes and speeded up breaks - to effectivley make hardcore (un-be-known to me at the time) Discovered a DJ Pilgrim tape with a very young(er) - but very good Sharkey MC'in, taken from Fusion @Farnborough Rec, so I chanced it - parted with my £5 and .......f**kin luved it. Havent looked back since. Hardcore since 94. 27 and still goin strong!!! Fave dj is a toughy- has to probably be Sy due to his playin 4 the crowd every time(anyone hear him at FD 4 playin a 96 set - ruff!). Nowadays, because there is more of a wide spread of hardcore genres (old skool,the 95-97, bouncey etc etc) I tend to just dance to the music if I like it. If I dont like it then you are normally garaunteed to go into another room and find something you like. It used to be about the deejays and "whose playin tonight???"but now its all about the music.......
The Rhythm Station will always be my home |

When I was 14 (3 years ago) I heard a few tracks while in School which I liked but never bothered with. Got lent a CD a few months ago which had a few tracks on, this started me off. I now love HHC fave's proabably Force & Styles, Vinyl Groover and Bang!

I got into HHC and HC about 2 months ago =)
loved HC right away (being a former heavy metal listener it just clicked i guess, speed bass wow...)
I noticed another section below HC at Music World - Happy Hardcore
I bought a cd didn't quite like (was way too happy for me) but it grew on me and now I love it =)

| Karmadude |
From what I can remember, the first time I heard it, was about when I was 6. I have grown up around Happy Hardcore and Heavy Metal nuts. I started listening to it properly when I was about 11.
I am now 14.

I had been on my friend Steven's Ikonboard and people there liked techno... So i downloaded a couple of Paul Oakenfolds tracks and loved it =D I was then going through some randomess webpages when I came across an HHC lyrics page.. I read a couple of lyrics, downloaded a couple songs and fell in love =) I am now 12....

I was 14 when I first got into Hardcore. Thats was when it was real big but then everyone went and started listening to house and then finally listing to trance but I decided to stay with the hardcore. In Northern Ireland we were priveleged to have hardcore played on the provinces top two radio stations every Saturday night at the same time. Now all they play is trance and commercial dance. When I moved to Wales everyone was listening to crap like garage and rock which is even worse. Sash played at my University Ball this year and all the Welsh and English thought he was crap but the ones from Europe and Northern Ireland and Scotland loved it cause thats what we;re used to hearing. I've never been to a club before that played rock music but in Wales a lot of clubs do, I guess its just a totally different music culture over there.

I first heard happy hard in 1995 when i was 12. I was at a mates place sleeping over and his brother was litening to a hardcore set on the radio while we were next door asleep. I woke up and since his brother was asleep I crept out and sat in the hall to listen to this ****ing incredible shit. I'd never heard anything like it.
I then found out my firend had some tapes from the radio set and some dj vagas cd's. Tracks like Midas - Groove controll and Jimmy J & Cru-l-T - 6 Days had me hooked. A sydney Dj called paul holden played to this day my fave set and its the shittiest recording ever and only 8 tracks long, but ****. Its the best. Been hooked on all hardcore ever since...

I was about 11 when a friend came back from Germany with some tapes. After that he started borrowing tapes from UK raves off his older brother and that's when I discovered my interest in it. Before, I used to walk past some shop windows and see some of the Dreamscape and Helter Skelter packs, not knowing what sort of music it was, and just wondering "what the hell?!?!?!?!" as you have to admit the pictures on them are kind of wierd. Do you think they have some sort of meanings behind them? Some of the Helter Skelter ones are intreauging.

I was 13, it was 93 and the first 'rave' track I ever heard was On a Ragga Tip. Let me be you Fantasy and Set me Free. Then in 94 I was into Jungle. Would go round me m8's house and go on his decks and try to MC. Then after buying some Mickey Fin tape I brought a Slipmatt tape and thought ****ing hell. Loved the banging thumps and the uplifting vocals.
I listened to this until about 98, and then came Garage and I was swept away for a bit due to it dying out. It had completely disappeared in my area. Then in 2000 met this person who was mad for it, and I, picked right off from 98. But I wished I had never left.
