Happy Hardcore and Old Skool Breaks

Anyone still listening these days?

 

Happy hardcore always struck me as 'kiddie' music.

I don't really listen to old skool type stuff as such, but I like some new tunes in the prog.house category that introduce elements of an old skool sound.

 

I prefer the Old Skool jungle sound...

 

I used to listen to it - some was very good, but I'm not so much of a jungle fan really, although I can put up with a certain amount of it...


I now and then listen to some old acid house stuff from the late 80's early 90's - I still like the music, but technology has moved on a lot since then....

 

aye, it's pretty amazing.

It's a shame that Drum n Bass hasn't really progressed anymore... just kinda makes hoover noises for hours.

 

Lol Back when Roni Size did 'new forms' it looked like it was going somewhere - still, a lot of people are well into D&B -

 

absolutely and there are a few that are still intelligent...LTJ Bukem for example. However, jump up or dark DnB has become monotonous... the same sounds, same breaks, same fillers.

 

I love hardcore, hardcore is a lot better these day's than it has ever been.

I still love the old happy hardcore, but UK hardcore as its known now is amazing.

 

Do you head to the Tidy weekends/Glade Festival etc?

 

Lol yea, just downloaded some more oldskool break tapes on limewire, bit of DJ stu allen live 1992 manchester town ,-

o n i still got me anties helterskelter,Raindance,Dance nation, Jungle from when she was 15 or so.
o en yeah , the tidy "Tidy boys" dnt really know they had thier own events? like cream ect, u know the hardcore weekenders? pontins near southport "north west"

 

i don't care what anyone says.. pendulum is and will be the sound of drum 'n' bass forever.

 

:lol: LMFAO!

I think not, for as long as LTJ Bukem, Roni Size and High Contrast keep producing. :H

I mean, sure...for all those who like generic, unintelligent, chart-topping DnB where nobody is really mashing it up, just snorting loads of coke and K and cock-knocking the blonde birds who can't dance, incase their arses fall out...Pendulum is the way forward.

 

i love happy hardcore. i'm not put off at all by how cheesy and childish it is . i think it's amazing.

 

i do

 

Damn right, UK Hardcore is alive and kicking, it's just so varied.
I listen to the Old Skool and Happy Hardcore, the modern day UK Hardcore, Freeform Hardcore and Hardcore Techno/Gabber.

Hardcore Til I Die.

 

You're having a laugh mate, Pendulum produce some good shit, but they will never 'the sound of Drum & Bass forever'.
I used to like Drum & Bass alot more than I do now, but I still listen to it now and then.
It's all about the UK Hardcore, Gabber, Techno and Hard Trance for me.
