Best of Happy Hardcore

Towards the end of the '90s, as hardcore mutated into drum'n'bass, DJs like Slipmatt and Hixxy developed happy hardcore for dancers who weren't ready to kiss the high goodbye. A raver favourite, happy hardcore eschews the beastly darkness in favour of manic tempos and surging riffs. On this playlist, artists like Styles P and Scooter will make sure you have a smile on your face all night long.
