I have been listening to the stream at work a fair amount. I really like Happy Hardcore and most styles of EDM. I find that Happy Hardcore is very fun and really enjoy the melodies and use of synths.
However, I do not like the cheesey eurodance.
Example:
Cascada - What Do You Want From Me
http://www.discogs.com/release/1316596
A mix was played earlier with this in it. I do not consider this Happy Hardcore at all. It's not even hardcore.. It's just euro dance/pop and It's bad. Happy Hardcore knows it's cheesey and embraces it, this stuff doesn't embrace it.. it's just bad cheesey and not nearly as fun.
I vote for less of it.
/me prepares for flame.

You will also find that most people consider 'happy hardcore' as the style in the 1990s. Some people still call it happy hardcore, but the more newer term is UK Hardcore. You will find a lot of commercial dance tracks remixed into Hardcore. It's becoming the thing to do for most artist. Some people like it, and others dont, but in the end, it is Hardcore.

There will always be crossover, it's not a bad thing, only 1-2 tracks now and then we don't run the station like a purist hardcore channel :)

Cascada - What Do You Want From Me isnt HHC at all. You should check out the Squad-E remix though, I find its much more interesting!
There's always been remixes of dance tracks in Happy Hardcore, even in the 90's. I always loved that part of Hardcore, because its what new party-goers can relate to the most and its often what gets then into Hardcore in the first place.
