Slipmatt - SMD#1 (Side A)

For me, this tune changed the entire scene. Back in 1993 then scene was pretty much a whole. Happier tunes were played along side "Dark Side" and everyone danced. I think this was the first real Happy Harcore tune, some people loved it and others hated it quickly labelling it "Chessy Rave". It's one of the classics of the old skool and defined every 4/4 or Happy Hardcore tune that came after it.

@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.

@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

@djbazia My copy aint got the 'Slipmat' sample in it though

[brockneyc]

@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

@stratfordtony42 - Why should I know better?!

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

PEACE XXX

@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 ;)
