100% Happy Hardcore

Carefully selected and hurry-scurry mixed by George Palladev @ 12edit

When the gabber bass drum with a bursting bass at a speed of 200 beats per minute became associated with Nazis, fascists, rapists, and drug addicts, happy hardcore was invented in the Netherlands. Its creators were inspired by the melodic part of UK breakbeat and Scottish bouncy techno. Taking the best from them, they produced a general atmosphere of beauty, joy, and happiness. Happy hardcore consists of life-affirming female vocals, fast piano breaks, long intros, a straight bass drum, and funky fills at a speed of 160 beats and above. Here is an example—a 100% happy hardcore mix.
