As a dutchmen who grew up with this music I have to say you nailed this one.

[@SunIsLost]

eeyup

[@piethendriks6240]

exactly this

[@TheOnlyCathyCat]

Jungle and Happy Hardcore were everything to me when I was a kid. I loved Helter Skelter because the Rollers and Sanctuary would rotate between the two. You could be dancing to someone like Hixxy and then Ray Kieth or another Jungle Dj would come on...

[@STRANJAH]

That sounds like a fabulous time!

[@TheOnlyCathyCat]

@@STRANJAH ...some of the best times of my life.

[@thatcornishcockney]

Me too Bud, I used to go Oscars on Clacon pier, used to be DJ Hype then Force and Styles lol.

[@smsno1]

"Destiny", The Mannor, Bournemouth. All the happy legends, but first public outing as a dj. A BRUTAL sound system. Plus, the first time I'd gotten to see Force and Styles and the Vibes and LiveLee show!!!

[@TheOnlyCathyCat]

@@smsno1 One of the few regrets I have about my raving days in the nineties was not getting to more Southern raves. F&S, I don't care what anyone thinks, their tunes were awesome and I genuinely feel sorry for people who never got the chance to rave and sing along to one of their peak-era sets. Standing next to a guy who looked like he wrestled dogs for fun and tortured people for a living crying as he sang and danced his heart out to "Field of Dreams" is a fond memory for me.

[@djmastergroove946]

Yes respect my friend. Use to play a lot of Happy Hardcore set's at Club Kinetic, Dreamscape and Equinox milwakees early 90's uk🇬🇧 . There's probably a few of my old sets kicking about somewhere and a few of my old tunes. Big ups!

[@STRANJAH]

Wicked!

[@TheOnlyCathyCat]

Cub Kinetic was all me and my friends used to talk about before we actually went raving, I only ever managed to make it there once, but I still have the compilations they released on c.d's and vinyl and a Stompy "P.A" (the nadir of any rave) where I get second-hand embarrassment for the poor vocalist every time I am brave enough to listen to it.

[@compoundaudio]

Man like mastergroove!!!!big ups

[@paullawson6749]

Big up Master groove remember you from millwaukees

[@drumandbassonvinyl]

My crew in the 90's was half and half Jungle and HHC DJ's. We'd take over a stage and mix in to each other's tunes in the rave! Ravers would loose their minds! It was some of the most memorable times of my life! Respect for the tutorial, man! Keep up the good work!!!

[@__BlacklotuS__]

I mix breakcore with it so fun

[@gregrodgers107]

Big shout to all the 95 happy heads remember it like it was yesterday, hardcore till I die, love the track you should release it

[@STRANJAH]

Thx Greg!

[@alfonsodiaz6235]

Hardcore, y'know the score!!!! Waxing nostalgia, big up Stranjah!!! Hardcore will never die!!!

I have a lot of dutch happy hardcore vinyl from around 94. Sound of my youth. Terror Trax, Dwarf records, Pengo, Rotterdam records, Mokum etc.

[@ASH-ou4cg]

Anabolic Frolic, now that is a name I haven't heard in 20 years! Hullabaloo!

[@STRANJAH]

You are most welcome, I am happy to deliver!

[@blkrbbt]

@@ASH-ou4cg If I remember, he had some visa issues back then that brought down the run of Hullabaloo's... I can't tell you how much those albums defined who I am today... E-Logic- Run to Me (Brisk remix) is my absolute favorite banger from the series! (Had to come back to shout out Wonderful World! I love Brisk!!!) SO HYPED!!!

[@ASH-ou4cg]

@@blkrbbt Although I had an appreciation for Happy Hardcore, old school jungle was always my main sound. I did enjoy going to those parties however and I was very good friends with DJ Virus, who was an excellent Happy Hardcore DJ and very well educated in the sound.

[@xGimbal]

One of my favorite styles. Always loved Vibes & Wishdokta Tracks & Remixes, because they used the amen-break as a main-element and played a lot with it. Breakbeats, Piano & high-pitched vocals always gets me. :D :D :D

[@TheOnlyCathyCat]

I always loved it best when something like Dreadland remix of Discoland would come and you'd get some breaks and basslines in amongst all of the euphoric four/fours.

[@Rainbient]

Wow! Those were great times! I wish I could go back in time and relive those days

[@ASH-ou4cg]

This was so good! Very informative and educational too! I loved how you explained how to get proper chords for the string and the Piano. It all comes to life, in a genuinely authentic way and cuts through perfectly! 😃

[@ProdbearUK]

you did a great job on this - authentic and fun ;-)

[@neurokinetik64ES]

I still have that CD in the thumbnail. 😄😄

Wow this takes me back. I lived happy hardcore from around 93 to 98. Even tried making a few tracks never got a release though. This is an awesome video. Thankyou!

[@jackcavanagh232]

Absolutely love it!! There could be a series in this where you go though the different eras of Hardcore. After the Happy Hardcore sound came Trancekore, then the Raverbaby era up to the new Hardstyle influenced stuff today

[@maxisproducer]

Yes I’d love this i would love a Dutch hardcore video like ruffneck records style

[@Slady661]

Wow Stranjah, just wow. I was about to randomly write a comment under your latest video about a tutorial for 4x4 drums since it´s having a lot of influence on the dnb scene right now, just like Kanine´s Get Down and your latest video is suddenly the 4x4 tutorial. Thank you.

[@vexathebassinjector]

Jungle techno/ happy hardcore is on the rise. I can be happy to say I been repping the sound since 2018. #SingularitySupremacy

[@AD-BC-84]

Jungle techno is one of the names that people used to refer to the harcore break beats in the early 1990s which is now referred to as oldschool, then happy hard-core started coming out.

[@vexathebassinjector]

Yeah lol after watching the video, I'm more on about happy hardcore til 1995, with the breakbeats and whatnot

[@kev1n726]

Decent made but it's Scottish bouncy techno / Dutch Babyboom funcore. Sounds like something from Scott Brown. That 16:28 is 3 Steps Ahead "Drop It" on Pengo. True English happy hardcore should use jungle rollers, jungle subs, and no offbeat bouncy business (regarded as sacrilege). 2 Croozin "2 Pumpin" and Vibes & Dougal "Feel Free" for example are the legit thing. Basically a piano jungle. It was played alongside jungle in England and even intermixed by a few in the same set. Anything else underwent a Scott Brown influence into late 95.

[@bassyjay6281]

Just watched it all, stranja your a sick guy bro!! Wish we had a boy like you on FL.. 😔

[@01Peebee10]

Yes!!!! My youth! I was listening to happy hardcore back in the mid 90s. Slipmat and Sy all the way. 👍🏽😁

[@TekFreq]

"Dugal" 😂😂😂 it's "doogle"

[@cidst8]

This video is about all I can take of happy hardcore, lol! I liked it for a bit when I was balls deep in dropping tabs and eating pills though. Still enjoyed the video. Doesn’t matter which sub genre of dance music it is, you’ll learn some good production tips regardless.
