I'm doing the mixes in alphabetical order of the Producers, so there'll be several tracks by the same Producer on the individual mixes. My first Hard House set for around 20 years, so I thoroughly enjoyed doing the mix. Hopefully the next instalment won't be too far behind.

Jez Toon - Classic Trance Favourites - (Hardcore Vibes Radio Special)

Dream Magazine was launched in 1995 covering the UK happy hardcore rave scene. By mid-1997 the magazine had diversified to cover other styles of dance music and also had a mix-CD on the front every month, typically featuring happycore, old skool hardcore, D&B or trancecore. The magazine shut down in early 1998 but relaunched as Dream UK Magazine in October of the same year, still with a monthly cover-disc, but only lasted for half a dozen issues. This CD got absolutely rinsed when I was younger, sublime by Nick Grant this. Dream Dance Magazine was a must have for anyone into the Rave Scene in the 90's and the cover CD's were just amazing for a freebie.

Nick Grant - Musicology - Dream Magazine - Sep 97

Dream Magazine was launched in 1995 covering the UK happy hardcore rave scene. By mid-1997 the magazine had diversified to cover other styles of dance music and also had a mix-CD on the front every month, typically featuring happycore, old skool hardcore, D&B or trancecore. The magazine shut down in early 1998 but relaunched as Dream UK Magazine in October of the same year, still with a monthly cover-disc, but only lasted for half a dozen issues.

Me and my Twin Brother loved the G.B.T. record label, so this CD was a very welcome addition to our collection. It was brilliant to hear a Bunter set in this era as it really broke the night up from a Happy Hardcore overload (if there is such a thing of course)It was being referred to as Trancecore back then, but Hard Dance is much better description for it. Bunter in 97/98 was really pushing the boundaries and the Trancier Sounds really were amazing to hear. One of my favourite sets is Bunter at Helter Skelter Progression NYE 1997 where he threw a full arsenal of his Hard Dance Slammers at the Ravers, extremely wonderful times & this CD captures some of the amazing tunes from then, absolutely brilliant.

Billy Daniel Bunter B2b Rob Vanden - The Cutting Edge - Dream Magazine Aug 1997

Dream Magazine was launched in 1995 covering the UK happy hardcore rave scene. By mid-1997 the magazine had diversified to cover other styles of dance music and also had a mix-CD on the front every month, typically featuring happycore, old skool hardcore, D&B or trancecore. The magazine shut down in early 1998 but relaunched as Dream UK Magazine in October of the same year, still with a monthly cover-disc, but only lasted for half a dozen issues.

Me and my Twin Brother were partial to a bit of Drum & Bass, we weren't it to any where near the level of our beloved Happy Hardcore, however we always appreciated a quality set when we heard one, Hype was the man for us, his scratching was unreal and his track selections were always on point, special mentions to Brockie & Kenny Ken as well, who are superb DJ's. It was a nice treat to get this absolute monster of a set on the front of Dream Dance Magazine, Wildchild does an amazing job on this, her mixing is spot on & it was nice to see a female DJ get some well deserved plaudits, as it was a very much male dominated scene back then, much more than now. Rap, Kemistry (R.I.P.)& Storm were really the only mainstream one's I can think of off the top of my head (I'll happily be corrected though)MC MC on MCing duty is as awesome as you'd expect, one of the taglines I always remember from Dream Dance Magazine was when someone said that MC MC is so good they had to name him twice always stuck with me that. Him and Stevie Hyper-D (R.I.P.)were exceptional on the MIC and really did enhance the music to the next level. This is an awesome CD and well worth checking out. 

Tracklist:

1	Swoosh–	Ya Rockin'	4:48

Dream Magazine was launched in 1995 covering the UK happy hardcore rave scene. By mid-1997 the magazine had diversified to cover other styles of dance music and also had a mix-CD on the front every month, typically featuring happycore, old skool hardcore, D&B or trancecore. The magazine shut down in early 1998 but relaunched as Dream UK Magazine in October of the same year, still with a monthly cover-disc, but only lasted for half a dozen issues.

This was an epic free CD to get, me and my Twin Brother absolutely smashed it out. We didn't get introduced to Happy Hardcore until 1996, so we'd missed out hearing a large number of these amazing tracks, it was the first time we'd actually heard the majority of them as Old Skool sets weren't really a thing in 1996. As you can imagine our heads were nearly blown off when we heard these great Breakbeat driven tunes. Plenty of Piano's and hands in the air drops on this CD and the standard of the tracklist speaks for itself, absolutely amazing.

DJ Spinback & DJ Pilgrim - Dreamscape 24 (1997)(Dream Dance Magazine)

Dream Magazine was launched in 1995 covering the UK happy hardcore rave scene. By mid-1997 the magazine had diversified to cover other styles of dance music and also had a mix-CD on the front every month, typically featuring happycore, old skool hardcore, D&B or trancecore. The magazine shut down in early 1998 but relaunched as Dream UK Magazine in October of the same year, still with a monthly cover-disc, but only lasted for half a dozen issues.

Force & Styles were absolutely massive in the Happy Hardcore at the time of this cover CD, so for Dream Dance Magazine to get them on board to do a mix for this free album was a brilliant masterstroke. Force & Styles were pushing for a Top 40 Chart Entry and were very much in demand. There is some absolutely brilliant tracks on here, Guiding Light, Body Slam & Apollo 13 pt2. really do the business. The duet version of Paradise & Dreams is rather a let down in my opinion whether you liked the watered down versions they did for to try to get in the Charts is a very decent debate, personally me and my Twin Brother weren't fans. The Chart versions that were produced by Force & Styles really did take something away from the soul of the originals, which were good enough to be pushed in their own right. Heart Of Gold, which I suggest were most people's entry into Happy Hardcore in this era featuring the sublime vocals of Jenna was absolutely butchered by Kelly Llorenna, which was very sad indeed. Anyway I digress this is an awesome CD and for a freebie, you don't get much better.

0:00 - Euphony - Dancing In The Rain [UK Dance]

I didn't purchase this Issue for some unknown reason (unforgiveable I know ha ha), so it wasn't until many years later that I got to actually listen to the mix, which is thanks to the good old Interweb. Swan-E absolutely nails this mix, he's such a talented DJ, his mixes were always nice & tight and he delights us here with an exceptional tracklist full of epic rollers. 46 minutes of pure joy in this CD, it's well worth a listen.

This was the set I did for my debut as a Hardcore Vibes Radio Resident.

I hope you enjoy the mix.

If anyone could inform me of the unknown track I'd be hugely grateful, as it is listed as something totally different on my hard drive. Anyway enough waffle from me, I hope you enjoy the mix whoever takes the time to listen.

Here's a mix I knocked up in tribute to the absolutely phenomenal producing team of Force & Styles, to those of us of a certain age these boys were the bomb, their talents shone through like a beacon for this era of Happy Hardcore and you realise on listening back just how timeless some of these tracks are. There's a couple of cringe moments in the mix, my trusty DDJ 1000 and laptop seem to not be friends at the moment, however I think after the raft of updates received recently it should improve. Anyway enough of my tiny issues in a World where there are plenty. 90 minutes of pure hardcore happiness and sing along anthems to transport you back to simpler times with the legends Force & Styles.

Syntax Error & Scott Frenzy - UK Hardcore Sessions Vol. 2

I first started listening to Happy Hardcore in 1996 along with my Twin Brother at the age of 17, it became an obsession pretty quickly due to the euphoric feelings the amazing pianos and vocals would supply. Dougal quickly became my favourite DJ due to his amazing track selections, his sets were full of smile on your face bangers and was always the first tape played out of any new tape pack, indeed I wouldn't even buy a tape pack unless Dougal was on it 😂 I got my first set of decks in 1999 at the age of 20 - Gemini PT1000 MK2 Direct Drive & Numark DM1001X Mixer, I wouldn't say I was a natural by any stretch of the imagination, it was car crash central at first, but I managed to teach myself beat matching and phrasing to an adequate standard within 6 months. Unfortunately around the time I bought my decks Hardcore was on the decline and Trance was getting huge, so Hardcore Vinyl was getting harder to source, so I started playing Trance instead whilst still harbouring my love for Hardcore. 

I've always struggled with my confidence, so I didn't really push myself in any meaningful way to become a DJ, of course I had dreams and I was a decent standard, but I was painfully shy when meeting new people so the idea of talking to promoters put the fear of God in me. In 2001 I went to my First Retro event up in Yarm and this changed my DJing direction totally, I started buying as much Classic House as I could, the Pianos were infectious and the atmosphere at the events was amazing. I managed to purchase some Technics 1200 MK5's in 2004 and got some bookings for some Classic House night's. I was still buying Hardcore Tape/CD Packs as I still loved Hardcore, me and my Twin Brother were the only one's out of our friends still listening to it, Hardcore had evolved to UK Hardcore, and the tracks being produced were phenomenal it was a brilliant time for the Hardcore scene. I wasn't buying any of the new Hardcore releases on Vinyl, as I was getting booked for more House events, and there was an abundance of House records to be bought. It wasn't until 2010 that I actually went digital, so I was finally able to download huge amounts of Hardcore Tracks and mess about with them at home, but I wasn't pushing that sound it was just for my own pleasure at home. In the DJing stakes I'd started playing Tech House and got some good bookings for that, I still love Tech House, there is definitely a brilliant groove to it. 

2013 was an extremely difficult year for me personally. I stopped DJing altogether and just went on my decks sporadically at home. I sold my beloved Technics in 2015 due to personal circumstances, an absolutely horrible day in my life that was (still kept my Vinyl though). I bought a DJ Controller with some of the proceeds which I used very sparingly. In 2017 my life changed massively for the better personally after 4 1/2 years of being in the doldrums when I met my Partner, who is an absolute Star. Unfortunately my controller had to go into storage due to space issues and to be honest I still wasn't ready to jump back into the World of DJing. Fast forward to 2021 after 8 years of hardly doing any DJing my fingers had started to get the itch, I could feel the passion return and I was getting a lot of prompting from my 2 best mates, so room was made for the Controller by my good lady and she was brought out of storage and amazingly enough she still worked. I had no targets when I restarted DJing I just wanted to play the stuff I loved for me, which was naturally Hardcore. Covid had struck though and there was a huge online community growing, I saw an advertisement from Hardcore Vibes Radio for a Guest Slot, so I did a mix for them and then got taken on as a resident which has been absolutely amazing for me both personally and professionally. I've also started playing House again and am now very proud to be one of the residents at a brilliant local Burnley Night called Luv House, onwards and upwards 😊
