Track is a work in progress! Hope you guys like it!

Up the Norf every time

That’s one less struggle with getting all 19 now

Managed to find this in my local charity shop this morning, after having nothing Happy Hardcore related in my area ever.

Was hoping to find some more of the collection, but didn’t appear to be the case.

Can’t wait to give it a spin later …

I’ll be showing them this video of people going absolutely ham to it showing them otherwise! This is footage from this last weekend on the Las Vegas Strip at Brooklyn Bowl. The Kawaii rave was sick! 🙌🙌🙌 It’s amazing seeing hardcore absolutely thriving in the states. 💕💕💕

Till the new releases 😁

Around 20 years ago, Hixxy visited my place of work and asked to borrow our Internet connection to upload Disk 1 of a brand new series he said was coming out called “Clubland X-Treme Hardcore”. He left the CD with me and I’ve treasured it since.

It cannot be understated how psyched I am to find this. A few months ago a Redditor in this sub was talking about something and it reminded me that I had the original disk. I spent a day searching but I couldn’t find it. I’d resigned myself to thinking that it had been lost during a car sale where I’ve left it in the CD player or something. However, last night my wife, going through some belongings found it with some other CDs that have been packed away. 🫠

This is it: this is the original CD that Hixxy made and uploaded to React (I think) when preparing the release of album number 1. For the avoidance of doubt, it’s CD 3 on this album. https://www.discogs.com/release/457139-Darren-Styles-Breeze-Plus-Hixxy-Clubland-X-Treme-Hardcore

I’ve not spoke to Hixxy for many years now. I always considered him a friend but I think he saw me as a bit of a mental raver (that’s okay). I hope he’s doing well whatever he’s up to now.

Anyway, I’m thinking about getting this CD graded and preserving it properly, considering its history in a multimillion selling album series that now spans decades. If anyone has any tips please share.

So happy!

so cool and excited to see this, so many amazing happy hardcore producers and djs, mostly from the west coast US!! huge!!

Sleeve is in great condition (bar the stickers) and listening to that record for the first time was unreal. 90s Dutch hh is wicked 👌

I wonder if I should upload some of these tracks anywhere?
