DJ Brisk And DJ Trixxy - Eye Opener

The Finest Happy Hardcore Ripped From My Vinyl Collection

[@jimmy_le]

This record came out 25 years ago, it still makes me feel the same now as it did then. music is the fountain of youth.

[@msarkisian83]

I was just talking to a coworker about music I won't play at work because it might be too much, he asked for an example, of course I thought of Eye Opener 😂 man, I got goosebumps hearing it again tho

[@djriskykut]

i was a 15y/o kid with a set of soundlab dlp1 belt drives got this on my 1st trip record shopping, all my mates thought i was so cool lol 6 months later i got offered a battered set of technics 1200s with technics mixer all in cases for £300 and never looked backor asked where they came from lol

Cannot listen to this without jumping about like a raj whilst crying my eyes out. Remember taping happy hardcore off of the radio at 2 in the morning. Total nostalgia. Also reminds me of Friday night disco at the ice rink , thinking back was was a seriously hostile environment. Almost every rough area in Edinburgh all packed into 1 building. Kind of miss it 😂

This song makes me breathe faster

[@andyhello23]

Happy hardcore was easily the best rave music to dance to. The highs and lows, made it unique in rave music, and unlike all the other versions of rave music. By far the best dance music, humans have come up with. The highs and lows, are excellent for dancing all night. I will always miss it, ie the 90s, and always regret i never died raving in late 90's. The strobe lights and music, and energies, of peoples. Even though i cannot the people part, humans create energies at such things, and your all sharing the experience. Happy hardcore, was like the classical music of our times. The highs and lows, made dancing to it, the best experience. All other rave types of music, are very monotonous, and all about the same rhythm, while happy hardcore, rose to highs, then to lows, and made dancing to it, far more a human experience. As things like techno, although its good as its fast, can be too boring, as its always got one pace.

[@marcp3788]

Jungle was better, a lot less cheesy. But this is a bad boy tune

[@sirjohnbuoy8159]

Respect to you man

[@bensonrecon]

@@marcp3788 I'm still torn to this day. I think for me it depends on where it's being played, if it's at home then Jungle or DnB, at an all nighter it's a different story. I agree with the cheese but for me that was what helped the vibe at events. Like Andy says HH always felt like a shared experience. I loved going to raves and spent many hours in DnB and Jungle rooms but unless someone was dropping an anthem it always felt like an individual experience. The HH rooms the vibe was more like a party, strangers just asking how you were (granted pilled up and off their faces) but those last couple of hours of all nighters in HH rooms for me made the night. Knowing you'd have a big name dropping anthem after anthem and everyone there was on the crest of the wave, something special.

[@rosswimhurst]

@@marcp3788 not sure about Jungle bro, but agreed this is an absolute F*ing Belter 😃😃😃😃. HTID

[@Glenn7719]

Jungle and drum and bass had some bangers. But at a rave there was no comparison, jungle, it was moody as fuck, where with hardcore the atmosphere was electric, everyone was smiling, you could talk to anyone. 93-95 were the best years, after that they both went downhill to me. Hardcore got too cheesy and jungle too moody.

[@NiSiochainGanSaoirse]

Brisk was definitely a niche D.J, much like Mark E.G or Mickey Finn. They played familiar music, no doubt, but they also found a style c9mpletely of their own and smashed it with their individual styles. Brisk was the ultimate pilling D.J though

[@rissac1489]

I remember seeing Brisk at my first rave in 2005 (Off Yer Nut in Winnipeg Canada).it was.... unbelievable.

[@sc0tte1-416]

ChrisHunter12345 Yeah, my second party was a Hullabaloo...first one was an E-Mail party at the Big-Bop (RiP). Back then it was mostly Hulla, E-Mail, Phryl, Liquid Adrenalin, Destiny, Syrous, etc... Around 2000/2001-ish 'raves' were alll over the newspapers after a couple people died (the first at WEMF '99) and the city wanted to shut them down..so since that period parties and the whole scene have gone up and down like a roller-coaster. Nowadays they seem to be mostly smaller club-type events that end at 3 other than the promise parties which are really good, although for me it's a twice or so times a year thing for me :P. Man, parties were big back then, and went to like 8 in the morning :D
