Deary Son of the Lord! That is the worst mixing I've heard!!! Lol! I never knew he was that bad.
lol one thing thats good about that mix tho is the tracklisting, but that doesnt make up for the shocking mixing lol anyone know what event its from ?
I couldn't listen to it. Some of the tracks were cool, but his mixing was that bad I just couldn't do it! Some of the tracks must have had their gains on full, because a lot of tracks were clearly really harshly clipping! It sounded horrible.

He did bring happy hardcore to North America. That's why he had a big fan base. What ever happened to him?
Yup, that's exactly it.
With H2BH, he made it possible for everyone here to go to any music store and pick up a Happy Hardcore cd for a reasonable price. You'll rarely stumble upon Bonkers, Hardcore Heaven or other UK compilations in most music stores in north america. The few stores that do import these albums sell them at ridiculous prices anyway.
The North American Hardcore scene's growth seems to have followed the evolution of the H2BH series very closely. The decay of the genre's popularity amongst ravers over here started pretty much exactly when the H2BH series ended, and when Hullabaloo was over in 2005, that's when it seriously started to die. Now it's unfortunately very close to nothing.
That is...I've got no response for that video. That's depressing to watch. If he hadn't annoyed so many people in the scene or whatever he did to make himself unpopular I think he would still be the face of Happy Hardcore in the US today and maybe his mixing and stuff would have improved over time. In his defence though he never wanted to be a DJ apparently.
LOL!!! had know idea he became a Hypnotist. Funny how people change.

Man, this mix is awfull in terms of sound quality and the actual mixing...the tunes itself are great but feel like vomit for my ears because of this rude jotted overlay of sounds
...oh, and by the way: Happy 2B Hardcore was my first imported Hardcore CD and with this series Frolic will always have a special place in my heart!

lol i was thinking of asking him/her to stop nicely, the only reason i can think of that they keep doing it is that either their deaf & think that the mixes actually sound good or their some kind of die hard fan or something
