what age did you all start getting into HHC music and who was your favourite Dj around at that time
I got into it a few years ago after listening to my sister Archaos tapes and Scooter tapes
Happy Hardcore Forever!!

I discovered hardcore at the age of 12 in 1996. And I still love it today!
My neighbour lent me a tape with Dougal and Vibes live b2b at Dance Paradise. It featured THE ORIGINAL "Now Is The Time".

Being not as old and as wise as a lot of you  I only really got into hardcore a few years back when I listened to one of my mate's slammin' vinyl tapes with a drum & bass remix of heart of gold on it. My favourite DJ was Vinylgroover, Ravin', I'm Ravin', Time & Just For You were and still are bloody amazing tunes.

I was a big fan of the Jungle sceen, which kissfm started playing maybe 4 years back. Back then kiss had some sweet nights I think wednesday was HHC night, bringing some of todays top dj's. I think tues was Jungle night and thats how I got into HHC. I used to listen to it then and got hooked.
I was about 17 and I had a helter skelter tape, don't know what it was cos it had no label on.

When I started loving HHC? That's hard to say..
I've been loving the German band Dune right from the beginning in 1994. Just last year or sth i realized it is kind of happy hardcore (if not even better in a way :-þ) - then i started downloading all the stuff by Brisk, Paulina Taylor, Bang, Ham, Paul Elstak etc.
So it's either by the age of 11 (1994) or by the age of 17 (2000) when i started loving happy hardcore ;o)

Like Silver, I was well into my hip-hop (sort of still am) - so I got some decks in about 92/3 to scratch mix. Then i started experimenting with hip-hop tunes and speeded up breaks - to effectivley make hardcore (un-be-known to me at the time) Discovered a DJ Pilgrim tape with a very young(er) - but very good Sharkey MC'in, taken from Fusion @Farnborough Rec, so I chanced it - parted with my £5 and .......f**kin luved it. Havent looked back since. Hardcore since 94. 27 and still goin strong!!! Fave dj is a toughy- has to probably be Sy due to his playin 4 the crowd every time(anyone hear him at FD 4 playin a 96 set - ruff!). Nowadays, because there is more of a wide spread of hardcore genres (old skool,the 95-97, bouncey etc etc) I tend to just dance to the music if I like it. If I dont like it then you are normally garaunteed to go into another room and find something you like. It used to be about the deejays and "whose playin tonight???"but now its all about the music.......

When I was 14 (3 years ago) I heard a few tracks while in School which I liked but never bothered with. Got lent a CD a few months ago which had a few tracks on, this started me off. I now love HHC fave's proabably Force & Styles, Vinyl Groover and Bang!

I got into HHC and HC about 2 months ago =)
loved HC right away (being a former heavy metal listener it just clicked i guess, speed bass wow...)
I noticed another section below HC at Music World - Happy Hardcore
I bought a cd didn't quite like (was way too happy for me) but it grew on me and now I love it =)
