'Geleihoofed' is Dutch for Jellyhead, on the 'Koppensneller E.P' (1994) all hte tracks are in Dutch but discogs has the translation! Havn't heard that track myself though...

There is very little English. I guess the 1996+ English stuff is their interpretation of bouncy techno but just loaded with cheesy singing and big long breakdowns.
Strictly, Newcastle (Bass Generator & Co) is indeed bouncy techno from England; it's just their scene was associated with the Scottish scene and not the English scene of the Midlands, Essex and South Coast where the happy breakbeat was found. We aren't talking about the countries but the scenes - if that makes sense. There was two very different scenes and they didn't like each other too much.

Perhaps, but it's very simple if you go back in time then because happy hardcore was English breakbeat (like a piano jungle) and nothing more. This is a fact lost on most people as they just aren't aware of this music or that usage.
Anything afterwards was influenced in some way by Scott Brown's bouncy techno (and I guess QFX and others) and why he is highly regarded, hence this big change between England's 1995 and 1996 music. A lot of the innovation came from the north at that time.

Actually there is at least two versions. The original (I guess it is) sounds something from 1995 and is proper English happy hardcore with the rolling chopped breakbeats, jungle basslines, string breakdowns going at about 150BPM if that.
The one on the United In Hardcore CD is very different with obvious bouncy techno influences such as the beefy kicks, the offbeat stabs with just a whisper of the breakbeat left. If people are only aware of that stuff, then hence it creates the confusion. This stuff was the Scottish influence on the English rave music.

I think the Dutch played a big part at moving English happy Hardcore away from breabeat as well, they had hard kicks as far back as 1992 & even though the Scottish/ Newcastle Bouncy Techno came after 1993, most Southen/ Midland bassed Happy Hardcore didn't really get hard kicks till about 1995! Around 1996 there is a number of tracks which had taken Bouncy Techno infulences as you said and some artists switched from breaks to kicks but kept it happy. I wouldn't class Sy & Unknown as Bouncy Techno although a few of their tracks from 95/96 did has a similar sound, just more in the way of breaks and more breakdowns. The vocals only came to Happy Hardcore around 1995 but only became the norm after '97.
Hixxy also used hard kicks in alot of his 95/96 stuff & the first track with Hard kicks I liked was Wanting to get high (also with Sharkey) which made me like anything with a hard kick which is why I have been turned to Bouncy Techno. As for Techno riffts & offbeat stabs I have always liked them so Bouncy Techno is my dream style combining both! I still listen to the Happy stuff but im leaning more Gabber now!
