Happy hardcore is a kind of hard dance music that began in the early 1990s that evolved from house music in the late 1980s. Originally, Happy Hardcore was based on a breakbeat drum beat typical of the early "old skill" hardcore record that was popular around 1991 - 1992. One of the main differences between house, older skill hardcore and happy hardcore is the increase in tempo, around 160 bpm there are most early happy hard core trucks. Early pioneers of a happy hardcore scene named just a few names: Slipmatt (Matt Nelson), DJ Seduction (John Kalkan), Sy & Unknown (Simon Cranny and Chris Sargent), DJ Vibes (Shane Levan), Dougal (Paul Clarke) . These early hardcore DJs were some of the many people involved in creating new sounds and new cultures - RAVE !!
This new form of music is played both in the UK and outside the UK in the nighttime review different from the traditional mainstream city nightclub in that musicism, British music activity, socialism, date etc are side effects of music It was. As the scene grew, hardcore began to depart from the influence of the darker old skill while maintaining the influence of the exciting piano house which was popular in the early 1990s. Without the influence of piano hymns like Asha - JJ tribute and SLD - Getting Out, happy sounds will not diverge, they will become more noticeable from the darker hip - hop effect that was also present in the initial hard - core track I might have asserted.
Normally, happy hardcore has become the mainstream of three different sounds, fast break beats, exciting piano leaves, vocal ups and so on. Typical examples are "6 Days", "Take Me Away by Jimmy J & Cru - LT" and "Perfect Dreams by Force & The Evolution", each derived from Kniteforce & Remix Records Labels. Many of these happy hardcore records (including those mentioned earlier) were remixes of house tracks. There was also a song like Hixxy & Sharkey 's Toy Town, with hard beats and "happy" synth sounds mixed. However, around 1996, the next chapter of the story was being written. Hardcore producers started recording their own vocals by writing their own lyrics. Around this time, the first major deviation from the old school hardcore was spurred by the influence of the Netherlands and Germany. Pumping, stepping on, spike, 4 beat arrived. This new 4-beat kick drum sound will be a sound that promotes that scene for the next three years as happy hard core will not be recognized.
