About a year or two ago my mom bought me Dancemania Trance Ravers for a birthday present. After that I proceeded to get Dancemania Happy Ravers. Because the genre was listed as "SPEED" I didn't know it was called hardcore until several months ago.

My first party: Shooting Star 3, dec 2003 (obviously a very Happy and very Hardcore party :P)
a whole night of Happy Hardcore is an excellent ice-breaker ;)
Mille-Pattes and Tipsy T, my Hardcore Daddies in Montreal, spun such hits as DJ Vibes - Techno Wonderland, Bang! - Shooting Star, Brisk & Trixxy - Eye Opener and Blumchen - Bicycle Race...
The day after, there was only one thing in my mind: HHC

Ashamed to say Ranking probably got me into hardcore all my mates where listening to it (I was only 12 or 13 so I didn't know any better). Then my mate brought in a Bonkers album which was released around 2002-2003. Had it playing in class, it was near the end of the school year so we did as we pleased.

It was around 2002 I believe, I was walking around Wal-Mart, saw Happy2bHardcore chapter 4, and sampled it, loved it, and wah-lah!

Taken from a post a few months ago...
It began when I was younger (about 6) I used to like what is called 'Eurodance' like 2 Unlimited and the similar stuff from the early-mid 1990s which was my first taste of 'dance music'
I later went through the 'pop music phase' around the age of 9-10 but also liked the dance sounding stuff and something always intrigued me towards what I heard in the early-mid 1990s. After the age of 12 I started getting into dance, and Trance came along which was something I started listening to along with the more commercial stuff and I also liked Flip & Fill completely unaware of the tracks they made were all old Happy hardcore classics from the 1990s! Those were dark times, the music was what I turned to for enjoyment, I even liked the ¡¥Techno¡¦ music from my beloved PC, The Sims! :D
By the age of 16 I finally left school (the roughest school in Poole at the time) and have fond memories of listening to Ibiza, History of Hard Dance on the bus on the way to college! I still own these 3 cds and their pink box has seen better days lol ļ
It was February 2004 me and a mate where in a record shop in Bournemouth which was Destiny Records which sadly closed! ƒ¼ I was talking to the guy who worked there and interested in the dance music of the 90s and ended up listening to a CD which had DJ Demo¡¦s Got a feeling on it. It was the first Happy Hardcore track I ever listened to and needless to say I brought the CD; Hardcore Heaven live at the Sanctuary Milton Keynes, Summer 1996! It was a free CD but I don¡¦t know which album it would have been from but I guess it might be Hardcore Heaven: vol. 1!
I was now having a taste of Happy Hardcore, some ten years after it first emerged and had since ¡¥died out¡¦ ƒ¼ Not long after I got a custom made CD with random Happy Hardcore tracks thrown onto it, some had been taken of mixed CDs (such as Bonkers I later found out) and while I knew none of the tracks on the CD (of about 12-14 tracks) later I would! :D
Next while searching on google one day while bored I typed Happy Hardcore and came across a CD on Amazon called Happy 2 B Hardcore chapter 4! After listening to a sample of Scott Brown¡¦s Everytime I close my eyes I decided to buy it!
By summer 2004 I was listening to both Happy Hardcore and the modern mainstream dance and when I started back at college I was talking about liking Hardcore and another girl on the course recommended Bonkers! The next CD I got was The Ultimate Hardcore Album mixed by Sy & Unknown. It had 6 CDs, three were mixed while the other 3 were unmixed. This had many a great classic on it including the first Bouncy Techno track I heard (although im sure I heard some before 2004) it would be my favourite track on the album, Bass Reaction- Technophobia!
My Happy Hardcore chapter 1 finally arrived after ages of waiting which although had 16 tracks was amazing from start to finish! This is full on Happy Hardcore and 3 tracks stood out, JDS- Higher Love (Slipmatt Remix), DJ DNA- Go insane and Hixxy (and Sharkey) Wanting to Get High! That track got me into hard kicks which is something that most new Hardcore lacked ƒ¼
In November 2004 I got my first Bonkers which was Bonkers 13, Hardcore Horror show which was another brilliant buy! It was far better than Clubland 6 imo lol Hixxy¡¦s mix was an Old Skool mix which was am treat!
In early 2005, two more compilations came out; Hardcore Heaven (mixed by Sy, Brisk & Kevin Energy) and Hardcore Nation (mixed by DJ Seduction, Stu Allen & Robbie Long), came out two weeks later. Seduction¡¦s mix had similar stuff to hardcore Heaven while Stu Allen had some classics in his mix! :P
Throughout 2005 I brought all of the Bonkers and got hold of many old classics along the way! I signed up to happyhardcore.com in October 2005 and ranted about Hardcore being better in the 1990s, even though I don¡¦t remember it from then lol
2006 was a big year! I discovered wikipedia.org and came across an article on Bouncy Techno! It was that summer that I downloaded a Bouncy Techno mix of 14 tracks a member of happyhardcore.com uploaded! Amazing! I also got hold of some new Bouncy Techno by Nu Foundation! :P By this time I was getting into Scottish. Dutch Bouncy Techno and it was something I listened to throughout 2007 starting with a free CD I got off a member of happyhardcore.com and enjoyed Hixxy & Re-con¡¦s mix on best of Bonkers, which ended with some very good tracks off the Dutch Ruffneck label! Another mix I got hold of was a Lenny D mix which I enjoyed a lot!
In summer 2007 I downloaded one of the greatest sets of mixes I ever had the pleasure of listening to; a lot of Dutch Hardcore, mostly Old Skool Gabber which I listened to for months! I was now listening to stuff by DJ Buzz Fuzz, a DJ I never even heard of before!
I decided to start mixing myself and for Christmas 2007 I got a Stanton CM.203 and now in the process of mixing myself! My first mix went up January 2008! Need to work on it though, something that will keep my occupied for a while I hope!
I now have made 5 mixes & already planning the next one!  Favorite track at the moment is Denztraxx- The lost denz, a full on Bouncy Techno tune & is in my next mix which I will upload next month!

when i was about 9 in 1994......used to listen to my brothers music with him whilst playing on the megadrive......had no idea what it was i just loved it.
then as i got older like 11 or something i started to understand what it was and got obsessed with dj vibes bonkers/hardcore heaven/off yer nut etc sorta went on from there :)
gbt inc-better day......really made me sit up and take note though and falling to the earth by q tex......two of my best tracks ever :)
