It always ebbs and flows :) I listen to a whole bunch of different music, especially stuff that is more relaxing. But this still never fails to put a smile on my face :)
Ive been listening to you since i was 16-17 and im 33 now haha, thank you for your constant presence of happy hardcore in our lives! Ill be bumping this to my future grandkids😂
The OG himself! While happy hardcore was never one of my favorites, I always preferred your hardcore sets, it is so good to still see new videos and old music from you! I’m not even sure just how long it has been that I’ve been listening to your sets from those earliest of days and the earliest of webcams. But it is fantastic to see you, and best wishes to you!
I thought u were not bringing it back cotts!!! Here's to many more mixes !!!! Been with u since 2008 ! I'm even buying these tracks !!! Much love from Tennessee!!!
Been waiting a while for this. That 90s to 2000s hardcore sound will stay with me for a long time. In my 40s and still find inspiration on hard workdays to listen to the music !
It's great to see that someone is still dedicated to Happy Hardcore, I mean the classic one! Thanks for your videos and inspiration, I grew up on this music and still love it. Sending my friendly greetings! ✌
Another banger started listening to your mixes about around 2018. Often had them on while working in the attic on printing merch like tees and hoodies with my cousin. Good times...
Love your mixes Dj cotts been watching for a long time remember watching doing back to back mixes with Ravine, I don’t really see any more mixes him on here!
Oh how I miss going out dancing to this stuff every weekend back in the '90s, such good times. It was a tragedy that boring trancecore killed it off. Thanks for the reminder of happy times and for getting me bouncing again.
:) I remember watching your b2b with dj ravine when I was 6. I’m 20 now. I thank you for showing me about the DJ scene 🎶 Im 😢forever a happy hardcore listener and will always get nostalgia randomly from remembering your sets, your mixes, dj ravines collabs with you. Thank you 🙏
Yes dj cotts you legend. Love seeing hardcore vinyl mixed. Have recently dusted off the decks myself and have been working through all my hardcore from 2000 to 2010 on my channel. (the best time of uk hardcore) keep that rave energy alive brother! 👏👍👊
I'm so into gabber, but this still turns me on haha! How's the early hardcore scene in Australia? I just heard Scott Brown live @Pandemonium. No words 🫶🏻
I know for a fact that I have the first tune buried in the spare room somewhere. You never forget a vocal hit like that. Not a chance in hell. Now I must dig it out like Indiana Jones.
06 and 07(Bring back the aussie hardcore show on di.fm!)!? Far out, I never knew so much of this stuff was still on vinyl around then, you must have imported these right? Can't imagine too many places stocking happy hardcore around then. Probably a good thing I didn't know so much was on vinyl back then, I would have been very poor Also, can I buy your copy of out of my brain lol, banger. Sick mix m8
Awwww yeah - thank you DjCotts :) Wow - less icons on the desktop pc this time lol - or did he hide them all on the top monitor and turned that off ? :D
Back when hardcore was made properly, a time where the true sound and production of happy hardcore was at its peak. Such a shame that the rave scene has gone downhill with all this hardstyle shit and gone are the times where people did proper mixing wethere it be analogue or digital mixing a minimum of 32 beats not 16 beats then cutting into the next track. If producers started making tracks like they did back then then the rave scene wouldn't be as dead as it is today. I'm 33 and even I know that all the best stuff ended around 2013 the latest.
Another banger mix!! Are you going to HTID? You and Ravine got me into UKHC back in the day and im still a big fan and DJ it myself trhese days as well, making the pilgrimage to Sydney in january for ir! Never been to Australia before!!
Sometimes I wonder if I'm getting too old to be able to listen to this, but I think I still have a few years left in me, lol!
It always ebbs and flows :) I listen to a whole bunch of different music, especially stuff that is more relaxing. But this still never fails to put a smile on my face :)
It is a welcome change from listening to commercial radio.
In the words of Ribin Williams if it's too loud your too old and I found myself cranking this mix.
49 this year, and still avin it large, HTID 🤘we are never growing up 😊
Never too old :)
Ive been listening to you since i was 16-17 and im 33 now haha, thank you for your constant presence of happy hardcore in our lives! Ill be bumping this to my future grandkids😂

Listening for the last 17 years 🙌🏻
THE KING IS BACK!
to be honest this is more reminicent but i kind of miss how raw and proverbially grungy the beats were like 12-15 years ago. long timer here haha
It makes me hardcore happy that you're still doing this. Been listening to your mixes for 10 years now.
You and Ravine made me love this sound back in ‘07 and it’s been the beat of my life ever since. Thanks Cottsie.
