rdfs:comment
  • UK Hardcore was born out of the ashes of Happy Hardcore which died a sudden, painful, but not entirely unexpected death at the close of the millennium. DJs and MCs thought hard about the problem at hand, namely "How the hell am I going to pay the mortgage? and these fast cars aren't getting any cheaper either" and called a meeting.
  • The United Kingdom based rave hardcore scene of the 1990s encompassed several native based styles through the years, specifically bouncy techno and happy hardcore being the dominant styles north and south respectively in the country for much of this period. Through a combination of factors, happy hardcore had taken a new musical direction towards the latter 1990s and became the sole remaining style. It now had little musical resemblance to its origins, with limited creativity and depth, generally becoming more vocal based and at times being cover versions of popular songs.

  • The United Kingdom based rave hardcore scene of the 1990s encompassed several native based styles through the years, specifically bouncy techno and happy hardcore being the dominant styles north and south respectively in the country for much of this period. Through a combination of factors, happy hardcore had taken a new musical direction towards the latter 1990s and became the sole remaining style. It now had little musical resemblance to its origins, with limited creativity and depth, generally becoming more vocal based and at times being cover versions of popular songs. This sound attracted a much younger audience in the UK, outside of the rave scene. This music also left many ravers disillusioned and the vast majority left the scene, with producers and promoters soon following in their footsteps. Happy hardcore had now became much mocked and the general UK rave scene was at its end. Elsewhere at this time, this particular sound had found a new worldwide young audience in places such as Australia, Canada, Japan and United States. A few remaining producers looked to regenerate the United Kingdom based rave hardcore music scene towards the end of the 20th century, taking influence from many different styles whilst trying to leave the late 1990s happy hardcore image behind. UK Hardcore is the result and has seen new producers enter the scene. This current sound similarly has also found followers from all corners of the globe. It currently however has no where near the popularity in the United Kingdom as was once found in the early to mid 1990s.
  • UK Hardcore was born out of the ashes of Happy Hardcore which died a sudden, painful, but not entirely unexpected death at the close of the millennium. DJs and MCs thought hard about the problem at hand, namely "How the hell am I going to pay the mortgage? and these fast cars aren't getting any cheaper either" and called a meeting. The meeting consisted of the entire of top tier DJs and MCs within the scene. Amidst the baseless accusations, finger pointing, broken furniture and Vibes getting a nasty Chinese Burn, the collective decision was taken to change the musical direction of happy hardcore and re-brand it to UK Hardcore
