I'm 33 and jeez Louise on a big bloody stick mate I'm back to my teenage years bouncing around making my kids lunch! I've just discovered DJ Cotts but please man don't ever stop posting these "what hardcore used to be like" mixes...utter awesomeness, my fave DJ has always been Kevin energy especially hardcore heaven the first one CD3 I'm sure, but this guy...this guy right here I believe is better than Kevin energy...there I said it!
I’m 39 n still love listening to this style of music, love happy hardcore. I really fancy listening to some old school shit like late 90’s; classic tunes. Like all the best classic tunes slammed back to back
I'm 47 and I used to go to all the raves when I was younger I absolutely love listening to all these tunes it brings back some lovely memories the club scene I think has died all the clubs I went to have all closed down its such a shame but keep playing them tunes absolutely loving it
This is an excellent mix. You are awesome. ..... The more I think, the less I see, whenI'm able to walk, I'm queen of my world, I let it rain on my skin, I don't let myself down, I don't let myself down, I just want to be one with you, wanna be one with you .... HUSTLERS AND HARDCORE !!!!!!
Love you Cotts!!!!!!! youve been a MASSIVE Inspiration all over the world because of your willingness to share the beauty of music!!! thanks man, youve been providing excellent mixes for over half a decade and you are appreciated from here to beyond the moon! =))
After being in the Toronto rave scene for 15 years this mix brings back so many good memories. I live in Korea now with no hardcore scene. I really appreciate this.
the record you cut in at 9:23 was the first record i ever bought. the 10" white "picture disc". hardcore got me into djing, record collecting, and production. been watching and listening to you since your first youtube video and every new video gets me super stoked. you're an inspiration. thank you, and keep the vibe going!
This guy has amazing energy! So nice to see when some DJs just stand there and work, where you truly look like you're loving every second man, love it!
Cotts - since 2008 - I hear your beats for 2 minutes and feel happy :-) better not watch you spinning the decks or I will start dancing instead of working :-) -) LUV
Dude!! "You're shining" ( 29:07 ) I haven't heard this jam in SO LONG. This mix has so many old school songs I haven't in years but You're Shining is one of my favorites. LOVE your channel, subscribed :)
Damn bro I was just flicking through my old collection of hardcore tunes on my hard drive from 2008.... Taste the Rainbow sent shivers up my spine... what an epic track. Nostalgic.
The one time a recommended video made me glad I clicked on it! Happy Hardcore Foundation by Dj Brisk is still one of my top 5 albums of all time. Thank you for this - you rock!!!!! :) :)
Mate you have made my day! I literally have every single one of these records in storage. I used to travel the UK from 2000-2008 going to every rave I could make it to. Love it
Last night I had a dream of you DJing at a mall in my city, and we brought happy hardcore to the people! And now a new mix today! I can’t thank you enough 🥰
Nice one mix dude!!!! Please much much more of this really perfect stuff!! Greetings from Germany :) By the Way: Your other happy Hardcore Mixes are really nice too, of course. ;)
Dude, I am loving these tracks! Thank you SOO MUCH for posting. The drive in these keeps me focused on work - even if I am in quarantine. Thanks for helping me keep sane through all of this! :)
Not old enough for me, all my vinyl is older than this. This is what hardcore morphed into from happy hardcore, where's Toy Town, where's eye opener, where's I can't stop raving, where's all the proper hardcore, BnH 1-3, Silk cuts 1-2, force & styles with MC Junior (pretty green eyes, Pacific sun)?
If you want to listen to an older set (although it's annoying as it's only 10 min uploads) type vives and livelee 96-97 tribute to friends, you won't be disappointed, absolutely what you are looking for
@@wellzy01327 I've still got tapes of Vibes and livelee from the raves I went to. My mate has a channel called MCcheck97 check it out, it's all the tape packs and videos of quite a lot of the raves we went to back in the day, when raves were still proper dirty raves. Just listened to your first one, I was there one of those whistles, still got the tape and the Helter skelter puffa jacket. Lol
This showed up my feed, not sure how, but great stuff. I haven’t heard these songs in ages, I still have all the vinyls on this set. Mid 00’s uk hardcore is timeless. Would love to hear some breakbeats in future sets.
I love these What Happy Hardcore Used to be mixes. The live ones are great, since we get to interact with you in real time, as well as the rest of the chat. I can almost imagine myself at a rave, yelling the conversations over the music. Well done, and keep up the good work. Can't wait for Lockdown Live 3!
😁 this is uplifting hardcore the music that has shaped me over my life. From my early days listening to the radio at gone midnight hoping my parents would not here.
Im SOO happy cotts is still posting. These mixes are great
+1
"Still posting"
Ish...
He's a legend to me
@@replecon1408me too, wish I could go see him live in San Fran this month.

We really should have lockdown more often
I can agree.
Totally agree with this
I don't agree this bloke with a crowd is the ultimate groove paradise style dig it?

DI.FM is still up and running. I listen on both their website, and thru their app on my phone.
I’m 39 n still love listening to this style of music, love happy hardcore. I really fancy listening to some old school shit like late 90’s; classic tunes. Like all the best classic tunes slammed back to back

This is the era that made me fall in love with Happy Hardcore. I often come back to this mix, thank you Cotts!
Goosebumps from the start.
Bring back memories of the raving days, drop so many beans to many of these tunes
Dropping beans to goosebumps would be SPOOKY

Love you Cotts!!!!!!! youve been a MASSIVE Inspiration all over the world because of your willingness to share the beauty of music!!! thanks man, youve been providing excellent mixes for over half a decade and you are appreciated from here to beyond the moon! =))
Scott Brown - Hardcore Hustler was off the hook! Goosebumps on my skin when I hear how epic that tune is 😊
Man, these tracks bring me back to my teenage years. Still thinks those years were some of my best.
Dj cotts
Cotts don't you ever stop mixing mate. Bounce all around the room. Oldskool feels mate! Send the message.
Cotts and Ravine's streams are the life blood to my work from home productivity. Thanks you mad lads!
I couldn't handle 12 hour shifts without the geezer
Big fan of Cotts since 2008 and he is still making incredible mixes. Hardcore for life!
That first tune brings back so many messy memories what a banger
Oh man, the memories!!!! That vocal in the second track gave me chills!!! What a vibe!!
8 years to make 11 Amazing Happy Hardcore Mixes and Cotts look's Younger and more Energetic every mix. Keep up the Good Work
Miss this music - Brilliant set man, keeping hopes alive for Happy Hardcore Revival.
Respect.
Boom! Loving this. Thanks @Cotts and the geniuses who made this music.
After being in the Toronto rave scene for 15 years this mix brings back so many good memories. I live in Korea now with no hardcore scene. I really appreciate this.
There is hardcore in asia, its more underground though and ive not heard much about korea but it is very modern *half anyway*
I love Cotts' stage presence in all of the happy hardcore mixes. Such energy, so happy, much amaze
I looked at that tracklist and sat back and just nodded my head.
the record you cut in at 9:23 was the first record i ever bought. the 10" white "picture disc". hardcore got me into djing, record collecting, and production.
been watching and listening to you since your first youtube video and every new video gets me super stoked. you're an inspiration. thank you, and keep the vibe going!
Keeping it original! That’s what I love about Cotts
Thumb-up-before-listened reporting in!
This guy has amazing energy! So nice to see when some DJs just stand there and work, where you truly look like you're loving every second man, love it!

Scott Brown - Hardcore Hustler, such a classic tune. Cotts, if you ever release a "What Happy Hardcore Used To Be" on CD, I would buy it :-)
Aww yeah that Scott Brown sound. Amazing
This is my first time hearing this song, and my face is officially melted! Just when I thought I had heard all the Scott Brown songs...
ruclips.net/video/icoreXcc_5Y/видео.html My fav Scott Brown tune, pure carnage on the dance floor.
Will buy that CD for sure too.

Nice one Cotts, your loving this one, I likewise
Dude, I am loving these tracks! Thank you SOO MUCH for posting. The drive in these keeps me focused on work - even if I am in quarantine. Thanks for helping me keep sane through all of this! :)
Love the tunes and brings back so many memories, also good to see someone who is so in to what they do.
You sure know your Hardcore DJ Cotts. Keep it coming!
Not old enough for me, all my vinyl is older than this.
This is what hardcore morphed into from happy hardcore, where's Toy Town, where's eye opener, where's I can't stop raving, where's all the proper hardcore, BnH 1-3, Silk cuts 1-2, force & styles with MC Junior (pretty green eyes, Pacific sun)?
Now that would be an awesome set with tunes from that time ❤️
If you want to listen to an older set (although it's annoying as it's only 10 min uploads) type vives and livelee 96-97 tribute to friends, you won't be disappointed, absolutely what you are looking for
@@wellzy01327 I've still got tapes of Vibes and livelee from the raves I went to. My mate has a channel called MCcheck97 check it out, it's all the tape packs and videos of quite a lot of the raves we went to back in the day, when raves were still proper dirty raves.
Just listened to your first one, I was there one of those whistles, still got the tape and the Helter skelter puffa jacket. Lol
Agreed
Haven't got a notification from youtube and missed this one again.. damn!
Loving all these tunes. Keep up the good work dj cotts 😎 we want more!!😝
Sooo good to get some energy!
Class stuff your doing.. Respect to u my friend..
Bought you some coffee Cotts!!!! Keep up the feel good tunes! #HHC4Life
Out of all 11 this is by far the best to date with regards to track selection mate
This showed up my feed, not sure how, but great stuff. I haven’t heard these songs in ages, I still have all the vinyls on this set. Mid 00’s uk hardcore is timeless. Would love to hear some breakbeats in future sets.

When hardcore was awesome!
Thanks!!

Woah! Dj Cotts posted 1-day ago.... Perfect timing! Angry at RUclips Algo for not letting me know, but super thank you for this awesome mix!!!!
