If you were to ask happy hardcore fans to name the scene's rising stars, Jakka-B and Macks Wolf would certainly be on the list. While both artists can make that classic happy hardcore sound of yesteryear, they excel in making happy hardcore that is more synonymous with the modern sound. With the genre-mixing, diverse styles that are prevalent in this new class of happy hardcore artists, Jakka-B and Macks Wolf are leading the charge in moving the scene forward.

If there are two things Jakka-B is known for, it’s his polished production and unique style. Though he is a happy hardcore artist through and through, he’s not one to be pigeonholed into continuously creating the same sound. His versatility and diverse repertoire are clear as he has the ability to develop enchanting melodies and powerfully aggressive kicks and infuse these sounds with other genres such as psytrance.

On the flip side, you would never know that Macks Wolf is one of the happy hardcore scene's newer artists as his productions have a maturity that is often associated with more seasoned musicians. He excels in producing earworms and Beatport-charting hits and has a keen ability to read the audience and deliver what they didn’t know they needed to hear. With his sets, Macks Wolf is able to take the audience on a proper journey and create masterful soundscapes, with each track expertly chosen to create a specific ambiance.
