This is whats been killing trance for the last 18 months also -Hixxy -Dougal -Gammerpants -Scott Brown (now and again) -S3RL -Sy & Unknown And anything on bonkers really
Scott brown is really the only "happy hardcore" i listen to. I listen to loads of house, techno, dub step, dnb, darkstep, trance, hardstyle though. Give this track a listen under, cause if by happy hardcore you mean 'bouncy' it'll be perfect for you. <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rkpG0tuZeVE"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/rkpG0tuZeVE" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>
Pendulum? Doesn't count as happy hardcore but they still do great electronic music. Other than those, Hixxy and Scott Brown are my two main faves, their remixes of some stuff is amazing (Even some of their originals aren't so bad, for example Fly With Me - Scott Brown) HTID generally has some pretty awesome sets as well.
Although good, hixxy seems a lil overrated imo, all of his real good stuff that comes to mind are collabs =/ <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/xb0kxq2Fkgg"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/xb0kxq2Fkgg" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/i0leFvyLEF8"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/i0leFvyLEF8" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tg8-g6IQkeQ"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/tg8-g6IQkeQ" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/mQ7iyUCICOY"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/mQ7iyUCICOY" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/82w-k1Oh3bo"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/82w-k1Oh3bo" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/5un_rkb_SuQ"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/5un_rkb_SuQ" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>
If anybody's looking for some good, long trance to just listen to, I've been going through a bit of a Ferry Corsten phase and downloading all the episodes of Corsten's Countdown that I can find. They're great for putting on in the background - quality trance, great to just listen to.
Go download Jeroen Flamman @ Houseqlassics 2008, that liveset is just awesome ... Don't listin alot happy hardcore, so now and then. More listining to Hardstyle nd Hardcore ... EDIT: Ow and tha playah aint happy hardcore :W Hixxy - Spacemen _O_ <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/7hTc9656JJI"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/7hTc9656JJI" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>
