Brisk

Sokratekk, Sep 03, 2008

I started listen to Techno and Hardcore in the beginning of the 90s. First there were some German releases that were very new and very danceable to that time. After that i was into Dutch Hardcore and Gabber, presenting the harder way of technical computer-music.
When i play some old CDs or records of this time, i understand, that a lot of people didn´t like "techno" in these days and i can´t listen to it nowadays, too.
The only style of that decade i love to hear and collect even today, is the UK Happy Hardcore style that raised in the beginnig of the 90s. These tracks are so uplifting and euphoric powerfull, with the fast piano-breaks, kickin bassdrums and real voices (instead of the pitched hamster-vocals in dutch HHC).
One of my favorites now and then was DJ Brisk.
His own productions like "Eye-Opener", "Air Head" or "Floor Friction" are THE classics of that era.
With his remix skills, he made a lot of trax also to unforgetable hits, like "95 Style", "Love Life and Happyness" or "Wonderfull World".
His DJ-sets Happyhardcorefoundation 1-3 was a ´state of the art´ selection of the best trax around, from Hardcore to Hard Dance and Freeform, mixed in a technical perfect way.
IMO Brisk was the best artist who belongs to the UK-HHC scene...
I hope his 90s-style will come back one day!!!
