Top 20 Happy Hardcore Piano Tunes

[DJFANTAZIA]

I dont know any thing about Happy hardcore, other than i used to listen to stu allen back in 95 on Rock Fm and he used to play some corkers.

I dont like the ones with big fu*k off heavy bass, but the fast piano ones i am into, and having never collected this stuff, can someone tell me the top 20 vinyl to get (i wanna do a cd)

Stuff along the lines of Early bonkers and early Stu Allen (94-97).

Cheers

Dave

Does anyone remember the happy hardcoe remix of QTex Power Of Love?

Who was it by (dont tell me q-tex lol)

Dave

Yeah, it was actually Q-Tex that did the happy hardcore version too. I know Scott Brown (QTex) did Power Of Love 97, 98 & 2001 which were all happycore mixes. They're on evolution records.

 

[scaz]

grimmy has already said this one bang- cloudy daze.
that one is one of the better happy hardcore tunes.very bouncy and fast piano.

stu allan plays this every old skool set he does when playing at vibealite.

try buying one of his tapes.

one you must look out for is:

TRANCEHISTORY - DOO DEY (NEUROBEAT ITALY)

this is just a pure mint tune.it's produced by the same people that made 'da blitz - take my way,soundlab - little faith,cpu - power generator'.
it's more happy hardcore sounding though with a really big piano.the vocal is superb too.doesn't actually mention that it's called 'doo dey' on the label coz all the italian copies are just test pressings.a rare tune but it has been bootlegged,the bootleg was pressed from the mp3 believe it or not.
keep your eye out.
