I like both the UK and the Dutch or German styles really. And probably most others as well if I heard them. I just have more of the UK stuff but that doesn't mean much. I grew up with Paul Elstak, Mental Theo, Party Animals and the like...
First off, sweetness, I started a threadsplit ^_^ I've mainly listened to UK Hardcore, at least in the HHC categories... Don't exactly know where sharky and hixxy fall in though (bonkers series)... I've got more exposure to gabba/gabber than happy hardcore... Curious as to what german and dutch HHC sound like...
