English 'happy hardcore' is just bouncy, trashy, fast and pretty dire in general imo, not to mention it attracts hood rats. If you want real hardcore kicks and leads check some dutch and italian stuff from labels like; mokum, DNA, enzyme, enzyme X, the third movement, froze, rotterdam records, neophyte records, terror traxx, masters of hardcore, babyboom, genosha, megarave, DHT, **** off, traxtorm, industrial movement
