That was magnificent! Totally like a time-machine taking me back to being a happy 14yo wandering around with my walkman on listening to Dreamscape and HelterSkelter tape packs
Takes me back to being 12, working on the fairgrounds in 1997! Hold tight RIP Miller's Amusements, Leeds UK Would love to see/ hear you make a track with Pete Cannon ❤️
When most people leave comments saying how they are producers they are usually egotistical with bad music, but I've just listened to some of your stuff and it's so good honestly.
man if you didn't tell me that he final track you created wasn't from today I would of thought it was just a remastered Mid 90s Happy Hardcore song. Please make more of this style of music. :) I was born in 1991 but didn't hear my first Happy Hardcore song until 2007 on TH-cam when Happy Hardcore had a resurgence thanks to Nightcore and Anime Music Videos taking over. It wasn't until later in life that I realized the majority of my Favorite Happy Hardcore songs or Nightcore'd versions were from the Mid to late 90s. Now the 90s Early 2000s sound is having a comeback again as of late. I love it. This sound is timeless.
Back then, Walkmans had a little pot on the bottom for pitch control. With sped up happy hardcore, I could cycle even faster to school! Thanks for this video Jonas, good to see you again and it worked out really well!
I love this, I was born well after the hardcore scene was active, and “radio friendly” but have always loved the retro hardcore styles, I am a modern hardcore producer but I will definitely take some of these tips into account
The end result sounds great (totally would rave to it, an absolute banger for the dancefloor), and I love your insider insights about the history, used synths, scene. :) Your channel is always so refreshing from other (also great) TH-cam music channels that mostly focus on specific contemporary genres and modern production methods.
Glad I’ve tuned in to this random FM radio show this night. Time to hit record on my cassette player, so I could play this on my school party and see how girls from my class party to this.
@@Estuera I had to google this. We had those here in Russia in the 90s, but they were from all sorts of brands. That was the crypto coins of my childhood. But pirated casetes were a big deal for sure. I've traded some rap album for a Modo album (you know, Gut-gut Supergut...just found out recently that this german singing guy was italian lol). Later had a chance to find Music for the Jilted Generation and hardcore (live Thunderdome VA) was in that chain too. What a times!
M1 piano percussive chords and arpeggios, chopped up Amen breaks, 909 drums, Juno Alpha stabs... This is going to be my cup of tea! :D Bring it on Jonas!!
@@Estuera Holy cow Jonas! This was the best video in the "Let's make... like we're back in the 90's"!! This was just spot on. I always love the M1 piano's and the offbeat LatelyBass. They never get old and they both cut through the mix like nothing else. It's good to see how clean the Roland Alpha sounds after all those years. And I have to mention how nice, clean and organized your new home studio looks. You will be a happy person working there. Thank you for this incredible upload. Let it be inspiring to lots of people.
Thanks! My pleasure :) Lots of fun to make this track for the video. And working in the new studio has been really great indeed. No spaghetti of wires on the floor, I can actually get behind the equipment if needed and it obviously doesn't feel cramped anymore.
@@Estuera It is nice to have space to be in front of the gear, but man is good to have space on the back end of it! My room is not big enough to be able to walk around the gear and that's a pain in the ass sometimes. Especially without patchbays. Glad I bought a few :D
OH MAN, this is incredible! You captured every single sound that is important in happy hardcore, the m1 piano, classic synths and the kicks with this amazing bass. Brilliant!!!
as a 19 year old Dutchie, i obviously haven’t been there in the 90s, but to me this gives me a lot of nostalgia for the 2010s gabber/happy hardcore revival and my own childhood, so i absolutely love it!
@tobiasflou6196 and yet just thus weekend, I went to a bar .got drunk and they played not just hardcore all night, but even happy hardcore for an hour. Your opinion is useless to me.
Your videos are so good. A great balance of music history and technical information. Having now seen a couple of videos about music that I'm very familiar with, I can be certain that whatever the subject matter, it's always authentic. Right down to the visuals. Brilliant work. Thank you
14:05 was from Jesus on E's by LSD on the Amiga, and I think 16:08 was from meybe second reality on the pc. The track was amazing, Happy Hardcores always been a guilty pleasure since the early 90's when I was still at school.
Definitely waiting for this one. I guess I’ll be making a happy hardcore track afterwards. I tend to do music in the style after your videos. Probably will finish in the next 5 to 10 years as always.
Update: I have made 3 songs, now I “only” have make it unique and really finish it. Now on vacation and not doing things about it… maybe it doesn’t take me 5 to 10 years.
You've brought a big smile on my face more than once during the making of. All those samples I grew up with... and the final result is absolutely brilliant. Also, the quality of your videos is always on top. What can one ask more? Ah, yes... a time machine ;)
i just came on this by accident and like around 11:45 .. man wow i was blown that harmony change on the actual vocal or let say the change of the harmonys this vocal was actualy beeing sung over back then ... awesome execution love it :) .. im gonna check more in the future gotta go for the moment but let me tell you this is awesome work my friend ... (i was playing as dj back then like 1990-2010 and ive jumped around to elstak keeping the spirit alive .... man i just got chills just thinking about that time it was soooooooooooooo much positivity like .. i cant put that into words just ighnore what im writing listen to the track you produced it it is so oon point it sais it all
Definitely my era. Peace, love and unity. Will have to watch on catch up as I have some late night customer work planned in 20 minutes. Bad timing right 🤣
Awesome video Jonas!. Pure Authentic 90’s ! I appreciate all of your videos! Your detailed explanation of 90’s hardware and how it was used is a real treat. Espen Kraft is the 80’s YOU ARE THE 90’s!
Found your channel the other day through the new DNB Video and i really love you exploring all these genres i grew up with. It's super fun and nostalgic
This video made me smile so many times. I'm 15 years old and i love happy hardcore so much. It always makes me feel good and i'm sad because they don't make it anymore the same way as they used to do it in the 90s. I wish i was born sooner.
was born after all of this type of music (trance/hardcore/techno/house/acid) but ive always grown up around it and i love it my uncle worked in nightclubs and at raves and he still has all his gatecrasher and ministry of sound cds as well as some nice ones like cafe del mar and house classics like hardrive thanks jonas for showing an enjoyable, informative presentation of how happy hardcore was made as well as all your other lets create videos, i really love watching them
I've been looking for a guide for how to make 90s rave, specifically happy hardcore and gabber. I loveeee cheesy rave tracks (it's a guilty pleasure) and I'm starting to make my own for fun. Your explanations + process have been very helpful for me, especially since I never grew up with these genres when they were still popular. Very glad that there's people out there that have the same passion for this era. Thank you, hardcore never dies ✌
Timemachine, good old days, you are awesome, an epic remake again, you are for president, and happy hc is my fav genre all time, and finally its an extrahappy track the result, thank you you make my day☢️☢️☢️☢️☢️🎶🎚🎚🎚🔈🔈🔈💗
TH-cam recommendations are crap 99% of the time, no matter how many times I tell it that I don't care about cars, Minecraft, Fortnite or local American news, sometimes it does hit the jackpot like this gem of a channel!

U need the real stuff from the UK back then.
Don't feel guilty. Progressive & Trance is way more embarrassing:)
@@pipapopipapo2056 love it all UK breakbeat stuff, happy hardcore from UK and holland
😂
dont feel guilty. embrace it. hardcore to the bone
Gotta love the combination of in-depth cultural knowledge, spot-on production and of course the delicious dutch accent. You got another sub!
Man please release an album with all your throwback stuff.
Just bought your album on bang camp!
Thanks!
That was magnificent! Totally like a time-machine taking me back to being a happy 14yo wandering around with my walkman on listening to Dreamscape and HelterSkelter tape packs

Haha exactly the same here + Fusion tape packs. Brilliant great video. Very nostalgic indeed, rate this music highly actually.
Takes me back to being 12, working on the fairgrounds in 1997! Hold tight RIP Miller's Amusements, Leeds UK
Would love to see/ hear you make a track with Pete Cannon ❤️
There are still people who make authentic 90's happy hardcore and gabber, like me!
me too! not very good at it, but it's fun
When most people leave comments saying how they are producers they are usually egotistical with bad music, but I've just listened to some of your stuff and it's so good honestly.
me too))
I've got some of your work on a few Japanese releases I've acquired ❤

Looking forward to this! I was a happy rave from 93-98. Best time of my life!
I second that! 🙂
What is/was your favorite happy hardcore record label? I wasn’t born yet during that time, but my favorite is probably Pengo.
@@gav1233 Ahh Pengo, nice one. I have some records from Pengo. Critical Mass - Burning Love for example! 🙂
@@gav1233 kniteforce
the inclusions of the ms-dos demos at the end caught me severely off guard, great vid!

Probably has a lot to do with nostalgia but it seems the 90s were good times indeed.

There are days I regret wasting my time on TH-cam. Then there are days I discover channels like this. Amazing work!
It makes want to see a rainbow high in the sky 🌈
It makes me smile every night and day
Ellessdee
It makes me flying high..
This sounds a bit like that song.
OH MAN, this is incredible! You captured every single sound that is important in happy hardcore, the m1 piano, classic synths and the kicks with this amazing bass. Brilliant!!!
As a hardstyle fan for 15 years, hearing a Dutch say "kick" always gets me excited :D
What an absolute banger man! Top tier content for us nostalgic people
as a 19 year old Dutchie, i obviously haven’t been there in the 90s, but to me this gives me a lot of nostalgia for the 2010s gabber/happy hardcore revival and my own childhood, so i absolutely love it!
I'm in love with 90's happy hardcore
This is actually really good! 😍 🕺. Also enjoyed seeing era accurate synths/modules being used. (Nice alphaJuno with the programmer)
I never realized how dense the percussion in happy hardcore was. A lot of layers going on. Thank you for breaking it down!
Hardcore will never die! #1 at the front of the hardcore dancefloor till the day Im in the ground. Day after even.
It is funny to read this, cause hardcore died years ago.
@tobiasflou6196 and yet just thus weekend, I went to a bar .got drunk and they played not just hardcore all night, but even happy hardcore for an hour. Your opinion is useless to me.
Man just when I think the video can't get any better... You have an ad timer too. You are an absolute rockstar, and gift to the production community.
Your videos are so good. A great balance of music history and technical information. Having now seen a couple of videos about music that I'm very familiar with, I can be certain that whatever the subject matter, it's always authentic. Right down to the visuals. Brilliant work. Thank you
Um....I'm going to dig my happy hardcore cds out...but this...is better. This is absolutely brilliant.
Wow, the track fits 200% on the genre!! Perfect job
Happy hardcore is what got me into jungle , years later i became a french house producer . I still love the crap out of this sound
14:18 my favourite moment. You don't often hear polyphonic melodies in EDM.
Yes, it all comes together in a very satisfying way at that point.
Wonderfull days indeed
Amazing video! You Gotta make Some UK hardhouse (Tony de vit / lisha lashes style and the donk style of it, Scouse house/ bounce etc.
Oh Yes, good to see you active on your channel! Can’t wait to see it online!
Super fun watch, and video at the end, priceless throwback!
14:05 was from Jesus on E's by LSD on the Amiga, and I think 16:08 was from meybe second reality on the pc. The track was amazing, Happy Hardcores always been a guilty pleasure since the early 90's when I was still at school.
Helemaal top man! Toen je die M1 begon te spelen kreeg ik dikke flashbacks. Wat een heerlijke tijd waren de jaren 90 toch!!
Zeker 😁
Would be nice to get this music back on the radio
Really cool to see you dissect the style of that era and produce something that would have fitted in perfectly. Cheers mate 🙂
Definitely waiting for this one. I guess I’ll be making a happy hardcore track afterwards. I tend to do music in the style after your videos. Probably will finish in the next 5 to 10 years as always.

I was just thinking about Basshunter today and this vid popped up. Thanks for sharing some awesome tunes
I have so much of this stuff packed away in boxes. I should dig it up and listen to it after 20+ years.
Had to come back to this, it has the perfect 95 sound, just freaking amazing!!
You've brought a big smile on my face more than once during the making of. All those samples I grew up with... and the final result is absolutely brilliant. Also, the quality of your videos is always on top. What can one ask more? Ah, yes... a time machine ;)
So glad to have been a part of this scene. Always nice to revisit occasionally !
Choon gives me Paul Elstak vibes. Time to grow a moustache maybe ?
I kind of already have a moustache 🧔♂️
Cool! You are come back! Very interesting new video! Thank you and i will wait for the new videos!
That's some proper 90's Hardcore nostalgia right there but from the modern era. Nice work

Re-visiting and still loving it.
Thank you so much for this content, From the pianos to the choir this video is a gem for me
That's a banger. You nailed the Elstak vibe - I could "hear" what was coming next in my brain before it played haha!
Definitely my era. Peace, love and unity. Will have to watch on catch up as I have some late night customer work planned in 20 minutes. Bad timing right 🤣

I remember ❤️ Bless up for this tour! Very on point. You Know your shizzz! Lots of Respect XoX.
Wow! Such amazing thing to see work in progress and final song.
Hahaha I enjoyed the end result quite lot! Thanks 🙏 Also for using the demoscene visuals, which brought back even more memories of good times.
Found your channel the other day through the new DNB Video and i really love you exploring all these genres i grew up with. It's super fun and nostalgic
Spot on ! If you created this in the 90’s it would be in the charts ! This needs to be in my 90’s happy hardcore DJ setlist.
Born 10 years too late 😁
Man you Killin it every time again now I wish I could be back in '93😭
An absolute brilliant video. Love the trippy video for the tune at the end too. Amazing break down of everything.
This sounds like something that would be in Happy Rave 2 or Pengo-The Compilation. It sounds identical to the music of that era.
That was the goal :) Thanks!
This video made me smile so many times. I'm 15 years old and i love happy hardcore so much. It always makes me feel good and i'm sad because they don't make it anymore the same way as they used to do it in the 90s. I wish i was born sooner.

Nice demoscene style video to complete the 90s vibe.
I love what you came up with there, great job keeping Happy Hardcore alive!
Nice to see a new video from you again. Great work as always! 💥👌

It is available on my bandcamp. See link in the video description.
Damn this is so good! And your music video production is on point! Love it!
Estuera leuk om weer video's van je te zien! Deze gaat zeer zeker terug naar de jaren 90 , top gedaan en ook een erg leuke track!

Yayyyyy! So happy to have you back!!
Mijn complimenten, dit is echt een gave track! Tijd voor vinyl release 🙂
great work. sounds very 90s, not out of place!
would love more episodes of this.
you should sign to a label bring back that magic sound haha.
Every time I hear the end result of whatever you make it brings a huge smile to my face. Great job as always!

Yes, a new Estuera video! Amazing work on the track.
Absolutely amazing. The video reminds me of the video creator on the Amiga CD32!
3:35 As soon as the beat kicks in, I immediately think......"I kiss your lips and close my eyes, Take you away to paradise......" lol. Tokyo Ghetto Pussy aka Jam El Mar. Thanks for the memories, loooved Happy Hardcore 😀
Ah yes indeed. The kick, those bells. It certainly has a bit of a Tokyo Ghetto Pussy vibe.
Awesome video, thanks for the trip down memory lane!
I had my doubts and was very sceptical for half the video, but wheeee - that took me way back XD
Happy hardcore is still my guilty pleasure music-wise. I was into hardcore back in the heyday, it was eurodance on the clubs at the time but happy hardcore married both in such a way I could enjoy the energy from hardcore with a lighter sound.
This sounds a lot like my 90's 🥰 well done 😍
The music video reminded me of old school Amiga demos. Good times.
Awesome! Interesting narration and technical-musical details (the instruments specified) and a nice track. Nicely done. :) Congrats! Cheers. :)
I'm glad you're back man; It's been a while
Fantastic….like the Good ol‘Times.
I produced some Happy Rave Tracks in the 90‘s. Your Video/Track is a very very nice throwback, Mate 😎👍
Anything I might have heard?
Another great tutorial, resulting in a masterpiece track. Not my favourite genre but you sure nailed the sounds of the 90's :)
My favourite TH-cam music tutorial of all time! Loved it!!
Fantastic job. You did the genre of the time proud! As others commented, if someone played this to me saying it was from the 90's, I'd totally believe them. Would be right at home on one of the Bonkers compilations I enjoyed in my teens (and still do 😃) . Greetings from the UK 🇬🇧
Thanks you i love old trance 90s and 2000s
That was incredibly satisfying. Definite Time Machine moment. Thank you.
Watching you make this was amazing. Looks seamless . Sounds perfect
Woah! Thank you for this! My teenage years were all about this genre.
This video was very interesting. Thanks for it. 🙂 and the final track was great.
