56 videos • 518 views • by Powanko Dancemania SPEED Presents Happy Ravers (2001), Dancemania SPEED Presents Trance Ravers (2001), and Dancemania SPEED Presents Best Of Hardcore (2003) are three CDs often attributed as the "Hardcore" mini-series within Intercord Japan/i-Dance's Dancemania SPEED compilation series. All three CDs are mixed by DJ Evil, a hardcore DJ who worked closely with Intercord in producing the mainline Dancemania SPEED CDs. These CDs differ from the main CDs in that they only feature licensed Happy Hardcore/Hardcore songs, and not any SPEED remixes of Dancemania tracks, as well asl songs from Speed Records, LED Records, or Runaway Productions. The first CD, Happy Ravers, only features songs from Paul Nineham (aka Brisk) and Hamilton Dean's (Aka Ham's) two HH labels Next Generation, and Blatant Beats. These two label's were gaining popularity among fans of the series at the time, and they continued to remain popular after the CD's release. The second CD, Trance Ravers focuses on the Pseudo-genre "Trancecore" which was emerging at the turn of the 21st century. This CD mainly features songs by Hixxy & UFO, as well as some tracks from Scott Brown's Evolution Records label. The final CD, Best Of Hardcore was a "Best Of" mix featuring the best hardcore tracks from the first 10 main Dancemania SPEED CDs as well as the two aforementioned CDs.
