Kitchen Sync - Rhythmatic Rebellion
I was on a happy hardcore listserve with Kitchen Sync back in the day, Spree and Muppetfucker calling freeform “Kenneth” and Entropy with his hippie bisupremacist crap. AC Slater got his start there, he had a cousin who DJed as Michael Knight and then they had a friend top them by becoming DJ Tanner.
Scott Brown - Return to Elysium
Reading the news has been kinda weird for a few years now.
O Wait Here It Is
(wtf tumblr, &ct.)
P.S. going through the happycore mines on Tumblr, it’s hard not to notice DJ S3RL
It’s… remember when emo was dying, and it got refreshed out of the same place all pop movements get refreshed out of, the weird Long Beach multiculti lower-middle suburban melting pot, and like how rock became rap-rock, it became Brokencyde?
OK s3rl is like if Vinylgroover was that, with Autotune.
Ohhhh yea!! One of the best hhc songs of all time just got remixed by one of my favorite producers, SynthWulf!!
Eye Opener (SynthWulf Remix) (feat. Zoe VanWest) by Synthwulf
Eclipse - 24/7
also I just found someone’s take on Eyeopener with a new lyric track? but now I can’t find the post again to reblog but I still have the target page open? maybe tomorrow.
I dunno we’ve been remaking these same standards for like 15 years now but i guess it worked for jazz
AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO STILL LOVES MY HAPPY 2B HARDCORE CDS? xDD
even though almost all of the vocals make me want to implode
S-Real - Sanctuary
So as I understand it, Sanctuary was an important hardcore party in that mid-90s british period where the music was in between cowfield raves and bog standard club nights. And this was composed as like a theme song for the party? Wevs, it’s still terrible.
X-Perience - A Neverending Dream
So I guess this is kind of on the border of eurobeat and happycore. Eurobeat (EU), of course, gave birth to Eurobeat (JP) as featured in the Parapara renaissance, which eventually fed back into the Japanese happycore thing of the mid-2000s.
Troof!
G.E.O.S. & Coyote - Morning Rain Clouds (Stan remix)
They can’t all be good.
DJ Seduction - Here It Comes (Hardcore Heaven mix)
