How did everyone get into hhc? When was the first time you heard it and what was it you heard...where did it go from their?
For me I was handed a tape with Bonkers 1 recorded onto it. I listened to it and instantly loved it, I just sat their for hours with my headphones in with Bonkers playing over and over again. From their I discovered a guy from school was a hhc fan, started hanging around with him and listening to his stuff then eventually buying my own mix tapes by the likes of Hixxy, Dougal and Sy. At first I hated any tapes with MCs but that soon faded and I loved pretty much every tape I bought. Id buy a new tape every week, the Rezerection series ****in ruled as did a lot of the Non Stop mix tapes. I was a total hhc maniac for ages then over a period of time my love of hhc died when their seemed to be no new stuff coming out and the place that sold the tapes closed down. My intrest has grown a lil every now and again but I'll never be a huge hhc fan again....im into metal now!
That's my story...what's yours?
'Happy Hardcore will never die'
Best hhc song ever -'Toytown'

I got into hhc through napster I stated a search for techno. One of the results returned read Happy Hardcore - Trixxy Sunrise. Downloaded it loved it did more searches for Happy Hardcore (beacause for the longest time I thought trixxy sunrise was the name of the song and Happy Hardcore was the artist lol. I learned the diff when I bought DJ Brisk Happy Hardcore Foundation Volume 2
I used to be a raver, used to take lots of E. Now I just smoke weed, and you know I will Succeed. :)

I was going out with this girl. One day she told me her favourite "Group" was called Happy Hardcore. I was hmm interesting name...so she played me her favourite song "Children of the Night" I was instantaneously hooked. Fast paced electronic music. I went home that night, and went searching for tracks by 'Happy Hardcore' on ftps and such. I immediately realized this was a whole genre of music, not some group like she said, and became more excited. Listened to lot of tracks by Visa, Stompy, Brisk and Vinylgroover. Became a total Happy hardcore addict. Being the 'sappy' guy i am I LOVED all the lyrics. THis music was EXACTLY what i have always wanted to hear.
Anyway as for that girl, ya she hurt me immensely (playing with my emotions..sure u all know a little about that)...but she introduced me to one of the greatest thing i have ever found in life. Not a day has gone by since that i haven't sat back and listened to some happycore with a huge smile on my face :)

One day I walked into work, and over heard some rambling techno music in the back room. I went back there and my cousin was listening to H2BH Chapter 3. My eyes got wide and my mouth dropped. I couldn't explain what came over me. I borrowed the CD and I listened to it while playing Breath of Fire on the Super Nintendo day and night  . Then I started to look and.. erm.. download songs that had Happy Hardcore somewhere in the title... gee, it looks like all of us started out this way. I started finding actual artists like Brisk, Sy, Bang! and Vinylgroover, then started buying vinyl at SSU and here I am now.

Heh... Don Giovannis story works with mine ;)
they where actually at my house when a discussion broke out i beleive, and we useda napster to get children of the night, so again first track for me
(which is prolly why, by defulat if i'm not hinking of anything, and have no particular track in my head, the beat for nakatomi - children of the night kicks in my head, then other tracks follow)
in any event, similar story didn't download NEARLY as much as Don Giovanni there, but i got my share, the rest i ganked from him, lol
and now... yeah... well now that i've had a collection downloaded n such (i know i know it's evil)... i'm buyin vinyl, loving the scene, and it's all just fantastic :)
i know downloading mp3s is no good, doesn't suport the artist and all that, but honeslty, the whole napster craze (which i wasn't a fan of, cuz i was getting mp3s before that, and felt infringed upon when like.. every joe schmoe ass at school was all "yeah i was getting this song, and playing it in my napster" i was like *sigh*... anyway
point is.... MP3 as a file format, in general... prolly really helped get happycore out there, let it spread it's tendrils ab it more y'know?

I was round my cousins house when I was about 8 and he had some weird music playing. I thought "this is quality" and borrowed the Prodigy Experience album off him. For years I was addicted to this Rave music and he then introduced me to this new Happy Sound. This of course was the very early Happy Hardcore in about 1994/1995. I started lovin' this style throughout its progressive years from its Old skool breakbeat sound. Every week I'd buy a new album or 12", So Ive been addicted to Hardcore since its development really.
First HHC song I heard was probably "Toytown"
First HHC album I bought was A Rezurrection/Judgement Day tape (this was before the style was calle Happy Hardcore and was just Known as Hardcore)
=) 'ardcore!

A friend gave me and my best firend Paulina Taylor's Smile, and we were both hooked. We drove around listening to that tape for months along with a tape we recorded...one side was Cake and the other was Sublime.
The conection with Happy Core and Rock is strong....just as the conection with Punk and Jungle.
