A year that is sometimes over looked beacuse it is seen as not being as good as the year before! Some say the scene went downhill this year onwards & the Dutch Happy Hardcore scene dies as did Scotlan'd Bouncy Techno
Still how could 1996 be so good & 1997 so bad? There must be some good stuff from 1997? Of course there is! Let's give 1997 a mention it deserves, after all it wasn't as bad as 1998
Favorites of mine (in no order)
Bang! Shooting Star (this is from 97 although most people think 1998)
Monty & D'Skys- You Had It All (samples Bass Selective- Blow Out Part 2)
Turbolenza- I am the creator (two versions, one 'Old style' & another 'Future' mix, both good)
Drugzone- Cocaine (seems to sample T99- Anasthasia from 1991)
Lenny D- Forgotton Moments
DJ Seduction- Hardcore Heaven 97 (even better than the original, and faster! )
Ku-Base- Hardcore Pumping (Ram Version) an Italian beast of a Gabber tune!
DJ Yves & The Twins- bloodbrain (DJ Yves mix)

not being funny but those are mix cds not records.
And nearly all the stuff on Bonekrs 2 is from 1996 as is alot of Bonkers 3! Saying that they came out that year so it can count as being part of the '97 sound!

Certainly was year of the cheese. Not sure why people say Bouncy Techno died as IMHO Happy Hardcore sounded more like Bouncy Techno than Breakbeat Hardcore.
While I liked (and still like to a degree) the Happy Hardcore through '96 to '98 I remember wishing it'd return to the sound of '93-'94.

There was Bouncy Techno in 1997 but alot of it was either turning into Gabber or Happy Hardcore from what I hear. The last Rez was in 1997 & Bass Generator Records stopped that year & with the Dutch moving on towards a harder & more agressive 'Nu Style' Gabber this left less Bouncy stuff from there. Saying that I have found a new tune I like from 1997: DJ Yves & The Twins- bloodbrain (DJ Yves mix) At first I thought it was Dutch & from 1995 but DJ Yves is from Belgium. A real good track with hard kicks & a good rift!
