Grooverider - Live At The Eclipse '1' - 27th April 1991 - Side B

Happy hardcore is a funny one - a byword for the cheesiest dance music known to man, with the tackiest aesthetic. Whistles, white gloves, glowsticks. Saucer-shaped eyes, rictus grins, pumping fists. Hi-vis vests, cycling masks full of Vicks vapo-rub, tracksuits. As hardcore split into jungle and happy hardcore, and jungle went on to become drum n’ bass to critical plaudits, happy hardcore continued on its defiant path, not cool in the slightest and happier for that.

For the final mix in my There & Back series, I've delved into the early days of happy hardcore to deliver a mix of massive tunes. These tracks are so good, so much fun, and they just lift my mood whenever I slap on this mix (which is a lot in the last month since I made this). Instant sunshine. Enjoy!
