Best of Happy Hardcore

Toward 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 favorite, happy hardcore eschews the beastly darkness in favor 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.
