@ubergodufo What a load of waffle, without the new beats and new remixes of these classics they'd slip into the obscurity and dying memory of a couple of old has been ravers.
Without the new generation loving Hardcore it would DIE and without Producers like Darren Styles and Hixxy remixing over and over the Genre would become obsolete.
THANK YOU Ravine, Cotts and all the over YouTube DJ's that keep these tunes alive and in the ears of our Kids.
@rom. Bollocks, pure and simple. 21st century remixes just cash in on the originality and quality of the early 90's Ubergodufo's totally right, the whole era is looked upon with great fondness by all those who experienced it. It wasn't just the music it was the attitude and IMO that will never be regained. Jungle got overgrown, happy hardcore got sad. The genre will not become obsolete because too many people had too good a time and remember it well.
@stratfordtony42 - I was at clubs with these tunes, so I know first hand how the music progressed Thanks m8! I've been there and aside from the commercialisation some of the DJ's like Darren Styles, Hixxy, Scott Brown, Dougal etc.. have enhanced and improved on a great platform provided by these guys. Jungle / Hardcore & Dance emulated into a HUGE industry. Giving us Trance, Dub, Garage, DnB so what are u on about? How can live in the past like that? Love the past but stay with us in the now ;)
@stratfordtony42 dont forget most jungle/happy/hardcord took samples from tunes in the 1st place this has sampled the paino loop from jimi polo (better days) like the new mixes or not they are doing the SAME thing thats always done
@romfordmassive are you stupid? its wankers like hixxy that killed it in the first place. him and dougal going venu to venu week after week playing the same bullshit sets over and over and over,only changing by remixing proper music. they are a joke and should have never been allowed near a rave.slipmatt is one of the masters,hixxy was a parasite.
I do know better "Clearly". I was at Global Gathering 2009 and 2010.
I've seen the 90's music then and I'm in the music now. I'm not a "HAS BEEN" dreaming of the past when I used to be a RAVER. I AM A RAVER!
I'm hardcore, pure and simple and you 2 can dwell on the golden days and brag to your Grandkids about raves all you like, but I'm taking my Grandkidsraving WITH ME. LOL!!! YEAH!!!
I'm A RAVER BABY SO WHY DONT YOU SAVE ME!!!??? LOL
@djbazia Easy with the insults lol, although when I used to play this out it might have served me well if it did loooool! Always DID wonder what it stood for though, thanks for enlightening me. In electronics SMD stands for surface mounted device and I wondered if it was that
er you didn't get it off your vinyl, I had the vinyl and it never had the "slipmatt" scratch at the beginning, that's from a mix, you downloaded it alright :/
For me this tunbe changed my life. I'm form Spain and in this country, we don't know the rave of the 93 to 95. In spain in this years the tipyical techno music wa "maquina or Bakalao". I love happy hardcore & rave and i Search the name of this tune arround 10 years. Finally this is. Really Tank's yoy DjBazia.
I used to hate rave music back in the early 90s (i was only 10/11 at the time) then one day (it was 93 i believe) my older bro gave me a Ratpack tape, this was the second tune on side B and i listened to it so many times i broke the tape. Still sounds a good now as it did then.
Big Up to this tune for gettin me into the rave scene :D
Its just a reworking of the piano from the earlier hardcore tune 40 Miles by Congress which was a far bigger relase and top 40 hit in 1991 whereas this was just a little underground tune in 1993. Slipmatt done far better tunes than this as well. Plus the beats on this are pretty much hardcore jungle not happy. MC Lethal's Ravedigger surely counts as an earlier happy hardcore tune? although to me happy really begin till 1994 '6 Days on The Run', 'Toytown' etc, this is just oldskool.
I just want to go back in time and move to the UK. I had to hear this stuff and pay sick amounts of money and when I would play it people in the US were like what the hell was that. Awesome breakbeat shite
I have to agree the first Happy Hardcore release, although ppl will probably disagree :-) thanks for sharing it brings back soooo many great memories :-)
Well i was a care free 16 year old and we used buy an 8th every friday with our pocket money and get in stue's Escort and jet off down the A47 to this edge tape by Carl Cox and when this came on well Stue used to go over 90,such a summer tune 93' Wiked!
@Drumscience1 Reminds me so much of me. But it was other tunes like ruff in the jungle and outta space. 1/8th of puff some LSD, in me mate steves yellow escort, down the M2 to margate at 3am just to see the beach. :D
I remember the first time i ever heard this.you cant beat the old school.And slipmatt is one of the legends.Had the honour of dancing on stage to a few a few of his sets.Awesome
Whoi gives a F*K what they are called and about the added 'slipmatt' at the start ..when i was djing in these times these 3 discs were the records to have and hard to get and no matter what anyone says slipmatt was the man and main attraction at any DECENT happy hardcore rave ...love you slipmatt LOL
its a shame oldskool raves arent goin anymore fukin hate all this new hardcore shit we need a blast from the past...schizophrenic lox check it out proper oldskool or prove me wrong
''all tunes off my vinyl, i dont download!'' damn straight pirating is wrecking all scenes, so many great tunes will never get released by labels as theres no money in it anymore. People need to realize this fact and stop fucking it up and pay for some shit.
thanks dcdesignadmin and boo me all you like others the thing is I have stopped djing and going to raves a clubs so it doesn't effect me it will effect all those still going out, and if you rely on tunes from the past (such as slipmats tunes etc etc) scenes will die a boring death.
i hear what ur sayin mate, happy and jungle did exist side by side. therre were alot of tracks like bukem & peshay 19.hz, cloud 9 mr logic, international rude boyz drum programme remix, that really shone the light for jungle techno, jungle and darkcore.there was just a massive facelift of hardcore in 93.
ps the sweet sensation by shades of rythm (ray keith remix)?? cos dats tuuunnnee!!!
I had the SMDs 1-4 they are all good sides A and B Though I liked this one and SMD 3 best.
Slipmatt was my favourite DJ, He used to come Kinetic, Diehard and Quest often, Being from the midlands they were the only places I used to go, but used to get tapes from my local record shop of other places like Amnesia, Dreamscape, Helter Skelter as well as my local clubs. I used to collect Flyers I had hundreds of them
i agree there was no drum and bass back in 93 but hardcore became an umbrella heading for happy, jungle and trance alike in 93, hardcore was more on its own late 91 and 92, but there were still fractions of gernre but it was all followed under the banner of hardcore!!!!!!!!
I have a tribal gathering tape from 93, Slipmatt and Top Buzz. Currently working out how to get it uploaded on here if poss. abslolutely corking tape, Slipmatt was a legend
I was bang into my drum and bass, but still loved the happy vibe, till it went all techno shit. This was one of the last good tunes the time. World Dance was quality for the best mix of Happy and Jungle.
the pic for this wasnt on discogs at the time so i searched it on google n grab the quickest pic. annoyin thing is that it got the "backtotheoldskool" on it, so ppl might think i got it from there.
Top tune, reminds me of the Astoria. I've got the happiest memories from those days but i'm also sad these days are gone. Still we were blessed to have been there.
DjBazia, your spot on with what you said in the video description about the music at the time.
Hardcore had dark tracks and happier tracks, and this was one of the defining tracks that spawned Happy Hardcore. Which was quickly jumped on by record labels such as Kniteforce and artists such as Luna C and Jimmy J.
Basically Happy Hardcore almost broke off from the scene, and that left the darker and heavier tracks which spawned Jungle Drum and Bass.
That is where i heard the riff from, doesnt mean to sayhe was the first oen to do it. Let;'s not forget i didnt get into music til 98 so for me im travelling back in time and feeling the rave vibe for the first time, and loving it more than the retarded shit that people pass for music today (keane, coldplay, all the rest of it!)
Just stumbled across this on the Tube. I've got this in me record collection somewhere but i haven't heard it for time. An absolute blinder of a tune and the B-side aint too shabby neither. AWESOMES!!!
Hi DJBAZIA, good fuckin on you mate! Just trawling around all your vids and lovin it. Am an ex raver from the '91-'94 days and this tune... the piano anthem part... Oh my fcuking god!!!!! I have goose bumbs listening to here for the first time in 14 years! I have lost my wistle, my dummy, my white gloves but those days are in my soul never to be lost. Long live 1992!!!!! Cheers Dan p.s. Anyone got any disco biscuits? mmmmmmmm
are you mental mate thats just wot there called. so much so that theres a book oshort stories about people gettin wrecked named disco biscuits. irvin welsh is in it. it was at the top o the book charts most o 97 or summin. jeezues i dont know kids these days no clue at all.if yer gonna speak shit do it properly. all fart n no fallow through.lol
What can I say Bazia your record collection has some scene defining tunes. Thanks (no really thanks a lot!) I thought I'd never hear some of these tunes again.
choooooooooooooon got to love the slipmatt

There was no such thinng as happy hardcore or drum & Bass just hardcore.
That was when it was best and us brits changed dance music for ever!

i agree there was no drum and bass back in 93 but hardcore became an umbrella heading for happy, jungle and trance alike in 93, hardcore was more on its own late 91 and 92, but there were still fractions of gernre but it was all followed under the banner of hardcore!!!!!!!!

Agreed! but some tunes like - Sweet Sensation (remix) had a D&B beat and an uplifting piano. Lots of choones of 93 did come to think of it.
dc110770 2 years ago
Alot of the happy tunes from late 92 and 93 were drum and bass licks with an uplifting sample. Nookie's early work is a classic example.

I was bang into my drum and bass, but still loved the happy vibe, till it went all techno shit. This was one of the last good tunes the time. World Dance was quality for the best mix of Happy and Jungle.

yeah man ! i mean Bukem is still my hero but you are not a true jungle head if you can't appreciate tracks like this.
We just had DJ Future down on friday for our night in exeter , he used to play room 2 at World Dance and he rocked it ! rave is rave there is no label

the pic for this wasnt on discogs at the time so i searched it on google n grab the quickest pic. annoyin thing is that it got the "backtotheoldskool" on it, so ppl might think i got it from there.

Top tune, reminds me of the Astoria. I've got the happiest memories from those days but i'm also sad these days are gone. Still we were blessed to have been there.

this tune is awesome. I liked the uk hardcore remixes of SMD on the "Hardcore 2007" album but the old ones are better

DjBazia, your spot on with what you said in the video description about the music at the time.
Hardcore had dark tracks and happier tracks, and this was one of the defining tracks that spawned Happy Hardcore. Which was quickly jumped on by record labels such as Kniteforce and artists such as Luna C and Jimmy J.
Basically Happy Hardcore almost broke off from the scene, and that left the darker and heavier tracks which spawned Jungle Drum and Bass.
But Oh! the memories..

That is where i heard the riff from, doesnt mean to sayhe was the first oen to do it. Let;'s not forget i didnt get into music til 98 so for me im travelling back in time and feeling the rave vibe for the first time, and loving it more than the retarded shit that people pass for music today (keane, coldplay, all the rest of it!)
