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 ❤️
a little more refined than the original stuff, but that was a reference from compilations where the processing lacked. Your track is fun and clean I played it twice for a double hit of goodness, now play it slow and then hyper speed, fun stuff I'd like to hear on a big sound system. well done.
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.
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!
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.
Really good🙂.You should make sample pack with midi included. I'm sure it would be popular if u can make pianos like that. I'd deffo buy it. Great tutorial!!!:🙂
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!
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
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
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.
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.
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
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 😀
@@Estuera I grew up on rave music. At that time, I was creating such music on samples using an Amiga computer. Now in the age of VST plugins, I would like to recreate it virtually. Your videos will make it easier. Thank you.
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!
What actually makes this track happy hardcore is only the piano, the bells and the vocals and the breakbeat pattern. Otherwise it's a really solid hard trance track!
Fantastic as always!! 🙌 Such a joy to follow you channel. BTW your old favorite Dune is active again as Dune+. Did a release some years ago named Starchild that was quite decent. True to his/their original style, yet with a modern sound.
@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.
A good one! But this is more like UK Happy Hardcore of 1996-1998. Next idea - what about that early eclectic "rave" sound between techno, happy hardcore, hard-trance and house like Marusha, Westbam, Raver's Nature, Ultrasonic, Mark-Oh, Ilsa Gold and all that stuff from 1994-1995 (the later the worse). The recipe would be similar, but a bit different.
Wow that bass at 5:36 very surprised me. It is very german hard-trancish. Exactly like in this track: Paraphonatic - Reincarnation (Gary D & Timo Maas Remix) [1995]
What an absolute banger. I went the way of junglist at the time and openly sneered at "plastic ravers" who were into this stuff but this is good. Even if I am listening to it at 4 o'clock in the morning lol
Wow I just love happy hardcore I used to steal my brothers tapes when I was young the UK version.But I love your mix and in the UK happy hardcore was more a rave/drug thing.
01:22 same perception here (in Germany). When our music became too "radio friendly", it did not feel special anymore... the underground seemed to be disappearing. 🙂
Wow I love this tutorial and all your content! I love happy hardcore and this track remind me a lot of Charly Lownoise & Mental Theo! Could you share some of the rap songs that you mentioned on the video, i'm very intrigued about the samples!
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!!!
Happy Hardcore is my all time absolute favorite . At least the Netherland and german sounds are absolut is perfect. I Love Happy Hardcore soooooooooo much.
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 ;)

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 ❤️
Really cool to see you dissect the style of that era and produce something that would have fitted in perfectly. Cheers mate 🙂
Yes, a new Estuera video! Amazing work on the track.

this legit sounds like an old hardcore song
What a nice well made song
Ja lekker
Gotta love the combination of in-depth cultural knowledge, spot-on production and of course the delicious dutch accent. You got another sub!
90's happy hardcore will always be my guilty pleasure!
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
😂
Man please release an album with all your throwback stuff.
Just bought your album on bang camp!
Thanks!
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.
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! 🙂

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.
the inclusions of the ms-dos demos at the end caught me severely off guard, great vid!
Amazing video! You Gotta make Some UK hardhouse (Tony de vit / lisha lashes style and the donk style of it, Scouse house/ bounce etc.

Where’ve you been?
Been quite busy with a lot of other things. It was about time though for another video!
@@Estuera love your videos
@@stevenbakos So do we!!
Wait how can you comment 1 day ago while this video released this evening?
@@tibitoth_hu The video was a premier, so you can comment before it goes live
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.
If I just heard this without knowing that you made this for the video I would have thought it is an authentic track from the 90s 👍
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!
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.

Nice
What an absolute banger man! Top tier content for us nostalgic people
Hele vette video! Nodigt uit om zelf ook weer aan de slag te gaan mey Happy Hardcore! 😎
Wonderfull days indeed
I was just thinking about Basshunter today and this vid popped up. Thanks for sharing some awesome tunes
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
ain’t no way you actually did my request, thank you
This is actually really good! 😍 🕺. Also enjoyed seeing era accurate synths/modules being used. (Nice alphaJuno with the programmer)
please make a album for preorder. If you hit enought preorders than produce it
Happy 2B Hardcore was my intro to this stuff. fun times
I'm in love with 90's happy hardcore
This sounds a lot like my 90's 🥰 well done 😍
Wow, the track fits 200% on the genre!! Perfect job
Would be nice to get this music back on the radio
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 😁
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.
Could you please recreate the Dune Hardcore Vibes?
I really want to do a german rave 'dune' style video at a certain point indeed. I love that track so its certainly on the list.
@@Estuera I grew up on rave music. At that time, I was creating such music on samples using an Amiga computer. Now in the age of VST plugins, I would like to recreate it virtually. Your videos will make it easier. Thank you.
As a hardstyle fan for 15 years, hearing a Dutch say "kick" always gets me excited :D
amiga 500 run through eventide H3000
You're back ;)
Update: i hope someday estuera makes a New Beat or Belgian Techno tutorial
Update 2: i knew it was gonna be a New Beat tutorial
I wait this tuto since many years !! Nice work ! After early hardcore and happy hardcore, do you want try Jumpstyle ? Thanks you !
It might eventually be covered as well indeed
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!
don't forget James Brown samples too even used in even Happy Hardcore as well for both his beats and voice too :P
great vid btw
What actually makes this track happy hardcore is only the piano, the bells and the vocals and the breakbeat pattern. Otherwise it's a really solid hard trance track!
Well, there is a lot of grey area between all these genres. And this style happy hardcore certainly took some trance elements as well indeed.
Fantastic as always!! 🙌 Such a joy to follow you channel.
BTW your old favorite Dune is active again as Dune+. Did a release some years ago named Starchild that was quite decent. True to his/their original style, yet with a modern sound.
I heard some of the new Dune indeed. But for me it doesn't touch the original. Nostalgia is a strong factor here probably.
Ah, I've transported back in time.
Subbed for life.
I still have my fucking JD-800 in storage somewhere.
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.

Another great tutorial, resulting in a masterpiece track. Not my favourite genre but you sure nailed the sounds of the 90's :)
Wow that bass at 5:36 very surprised me. It is very german hard-trancish. Exactly like in this track: Paraphonatic - Reincarnation (Gary D & Timo Maas Remix) [1995]
Lots of common elements in all these genres. And the TX81Z shows up very often :D
Absolutely amazing. The video reminds me of the video creator on the Amiga CD32!
What an absolute banger. I went the way of junglist at the time and openly sneered at "plastic ravers" who were into this stuff but this is good. Even if I am listening to it at 4 o'clock in the morning lol

Geweldig ❤
can confirm, is happy hardcore
Nice demoscene style video to complete the 90s vibe.
Sssssssh... That's a lot of samples and complicated kinda, that's maybe I don't understand daft punk .... Not a bad track happy to listen
01:22 same perception here (in Germany). When our music became too "radio friendly", it did not feel special anymore... the underground seemed to be disappearing. 🙂
DJ Eruption - Surrender was one of my favorites back int he day. this was pretty epic though tbh.
Wow I love this tutorial and all your content! I love happy hardcore and this track remind me a lot of Charly Lownoise & Mental Theo! Could you share some of the rap songs that you mentioned on the video, i'm very intrigued about the samples!
Mijn complimenten, dit is echt een gave track! Tijd voor vinyl release 🙂
I can understand why people who need stick removal wouldn't like happy hardcore. But it IS a guilty pleasure of mine.
Perfect Song For Geometry Dash Levels @Estuera! 12:59
I'll be honest, I skipped straight to the finished track, but I'm really not sorry... beast!
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!!!
Graphics at 14:00 takes me back to watching demos on my Amiga 500 :D
Those synth backing tracks were quite nice 👌
Awesome 🤩🥴🍺 very dj paul, dune, 4 on the floor 👏👏👏👏
🎚️🎧🎚️💥🔥
I remember I remember I remember I remember I remember I remember I remember I remember I remember 🥺💙
would be a good new pengo release :)
I remember ❤️ Bless up for this tour! Very on point. You Know your shizzz! Lots of Respect XoX.
Man you are amazing i fucking Love your Videos, please keep on going ❤️ Makina maby for the next Video ? 😁
Finally … been waiting for this one for ages 🤣
skill, very melodic, something new music has lost, compleately
Full album please :D will buy
this happy hardcore will sound much more emotional without the chipmunk vocals
Happy Hardcore is my all time
absolute favorite . At least the Netherland and german sounds are absolut is perfect.
I Love Happy Hardcore soooooooooo much.
a very good tune.......i like it
Put on my raving shoes and I boarded a plane
Touched down in the land where the skies were blue
In the middle of the pouring rain
This video was very interesting. Thanks for it. 🙂 and the final track was great.
I had my doubts and was very sceptical for half the video, but wheeee - that took me way back XD
I was expecting it to sound more gabber based on the name but reminds me more of breakcore and dnb, I like it.
Thanks man!
2nd comment now I finally got to listen. Mate you smashed it. More please is my only request
Can you do a late 90s freeform hardcore one? I wanna see how you combine the trance and hardcore stuff ;)
idk sht about happy hardcore but i know DOC voice when i hear it lol great vid
That's a banger. You nailed the Elstak vibe - I could "hear" what was coming next in my brain before it played haha!
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 ;)
Bro, instant sub. How have I not come across your channel before??
Did you upload the track as a stand alone somewhere so I can add it to a playlist?
I did, it is on my bandcamp. Link in the video description.
Great! What about to create some early classical hip-house track in a next video?
I see VIVA Club Rotation before my eyes :) Nice track, interesting video.
This doesn’t sound half bad, and I don’t even listen to happy hardcore.
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?
