I still have a Thunderdome T-shirt somewhere....with a killer Skull Design on the front.

Here is my mates track. He is a known Psytrance Producer and had his first Album on Chemical Crew Recs (Skazi's label).

His roots are in Hardcore tho and this was his first real offering.

Let me know what you guys believe?

His Psytrance is in the same vein....POUNDING Beats....crazy leads...whacky breaks!

Im a old school gabber hardcore head from L.A. But I feel my musical taste is from Holland. Rotterdam! My fave is the old school stuff from Euromaster, Neophyte (Bodylotion), The Viper, Issac, Rob Gee, Bass-D & King Mathew, Da Predator, Outblast, Angerfist. Im not too big on the UK hardcore.

But to explain the Happy HC on my iphone. I have terror traxx, RTC, Rotterdam, baby boom, dwarf, & mokum and every now and then a B-Side would be Happy HC.

Dude.

You know, I was really into the whole hardcore/gabber scene back when I first started going to shows. I never really followed it hard, just enjoyed it whenever it was played live.

Then I went through a large period of time of going to shows without it. And I was and still am a DnB/Dubstep guy through and through because of it.

But it's been making a HUGE comeback at all of the New England shows. UK Hardcore, there's a monthly hardcore evening ... and it's just everywhere. And I fucking LOVE it. Hardstyle brings it up, then deep into the hardcore, drop something nostalgic, then bringing it back.

I can't get enough. I've been trying to find more and more out about it, because of this. I've been listening to fear.fm non-stop lately getting ideas.

It's bad lol.

Another thing that I love about the real hardcore scene, is that it's true that people who really love the music are the ones who love it. It doesn't have the "riders" that other genre's can bring in. People who love hardcore, LOVE hardcore.

And while I tend more toward the grimier business, my wife is a huge fan of Happy Hardcore. It's better than trance, which is the other thing she's into. So I roll with it.

Do you want to be stabbed with blunt knife or a sharp spoon?
