DJ Cotts - What UK/Happy Hardcore Used to Be 17 (Vinyl Mix)

Another edition of What Hardcore Used to Be, this is a mix series where I showcase older UK/Happy Hardcore tracks and never play the same tune twice. If you like this, check out the whole playlist! I hope you enjoy edition 17 with tracks from 2003 - 2006. As always, thanks so much for watching / listening :)

[@eddradcliffe]

Still prefer watching DJ's spin vinyl than pushing buttons...... something so musically connected about it. Also, tunes had great composition and didn't sit in a sterile pocket for 5000 years. Grumpy old man cliche incoming but it was better back then! Facts.

[@StevieZala]

You're bang on there. Spinning vinyl takes proper skill. All some of these 'DJ's' do nowadays is upload a flash drive their 12 year old brother 'mixed', then prance around the stage imagining they're Mercury or Bowie. A very sad state of affairs indeedy. Signed Grumpy, Old Raver Lady cliche.

[@urphakeandgey6308]

There are "controllerists" that actually take advantage of the new tech. And if you're beat matching by ear, there's hardly a difference between digital DJing and vinyl DJing.

[@user-yz8xr6hw3g]

​@@urphakeandgey6308 there's a big difference u rocket 🚀

[@ToastTacular]

YESSSSSSSSS ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@madden72]

DROP. EVERYTHING. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@Haksdo2]

Listening to Cotts makes me feel young and old at the same time. First time I heard one of his mixes was over 15 years ago, still in university, studying. And now working, married, kids, enjoying life and still going nuts everytime I see DJ Cotts upload a new mix. Absolutely epic once again dude, keep it up!

[@soulcalibar3]

i've been listening to this series for so long that the "what hardcore used to be" is basically what was coming out at the time this series started lol

[@ofelijawow]

does it freak me out that the era of hhc I started on is now considered classics? yes. am I still so happy to see these mixes in my feed? also yes

[@jozsefmolnar1970]

[@AleksSukhov]

I think your tombstone (many, many years later, till 192 y.o.) should have the following inscribed: "I want the plates to spin forever......." Happy is in our blood. With respect from Russia

[@craiga753]

Yes Cotts!! This is just what I needed on a miserable Wednesday afternoon here in the UK, thank you very much!!! 😁

[@RahTee1]

Me Too 🎉 😊

[@exarchrandoom7521]

[@Hardtransport]

pure bangers, what an amazing mix, is always great to listen Old School UK-Hardcore, from 1998 to 2013 is where the best tracks are

[@sergiogonzalesYT]

Sup Cotts! Glad to see this series is back 😀

[@JBTV1991]

Scott Brown & DMO - Call My Name is a 1000% Choon

[@sonuvabitch]

As a teen stuck in the UK in about '95 this feels very nostalgic. Dreamscape and Helter Skelter tapes were one of the only thing that got me through the insanity that was my time there. Cheers for the mix - great for doing shit around the house and working out too

[@Tivalek]

Two mixes in two weeks? Do we have christmass? Perfect!!

[@FastReflexx]

Always a good day when you upload DJ Cotts 🔥

[@Chris5685]

15:27 Gammer is this guy who takes an already nice melody, and absolutely enhances it every single time he touches something. Absolutely love his remixes.

[@davejenvey3598]

Reminds me of the illegal radio station Dimention I think it was called in Telford. Sounds of the deano was epic.

[@AWalYT]

Fantastic. Some proper gems in there too. Plenty of things I've played out myself as well, no doubt. 😄

[@lxxwj]
