Well it's here again... another year over and another year just around the corner, 2004 certainly a great year for hardcore, at HappyHardcore.com we like to round up the year with a year in review and some hints to what is happening in 2005.

2004 was not without its tragedies, this year saw the loss of two hardcore supporters with the untimely deaths of BBC Radio 1 presenter John Peel and DJ Tom Wilson. May they both rest in peace.

2004 saw the launch of these new hardcore labels:

In addition to those labels over 20 new hardcore compilations and albums released, with some charting in store compilation charts and national sales!

This past year saw: DJ Fade leaves hardcore, Alphamagic and React declare bankruptcy, Flip n Fill cover discoland, KFA and Luna-C release hardcore music video, Slammin vinyl sued for illegal live CD recordings, Nukleuz start with more hardcore releases + remixes, Re-con = Ultrabeat is revealed, UK TV program Rapture TV start covering hardcore events, M8 magazine adds hardcore reviews, DJ Mag does a two page article on hardcore, Hardcore charts in both in Finland and the Netherlands, You're shining reached number 3 in the UK commercial dance charts, Hardcore is played on BBC Radio 1 for the first time in years, Hardcore DJs make the DJ Mag top 250 for first time in years,
Amato distribution take on hardcore release, Several legal download sites start... just to name a few things.

Here are HappyHardcore.com we experienced alot of changes
The members base grew from just under 10,000 members to just under 15,000 members!
Live shows on HappyHardcore.com radio kicked off
HappyHardcore.com radio broke top 40 internet radio stations in the world!
The first hardcore online festival called Exposure 2004 was launched.
HappyHardcore.com and HappyHardcore.com radio turn 5 years old.
Totally Sweet Radio turn 2 years old.

So how is 2005 looking?? Massive! From what we have seen being put into place for 2005, its nothing short of massive... 2004 was big but trays tables up and seats to their upright position as 2005 is gonna be huuuuuudge!

Happy New year from all at HappyHardcore.com

   Where's DJ Demand?
Ever wondered what happened to hardcore producer and DJ Demand? We have spotted Demand on a new release on AATW. Interesting fact is that AATW (a commerical dance label) are promoting him as a hardcore DJ, further evidence AATW is pushing hardcore. Demand is releasing the track under the name Escape together with vocalist Marie, who also sang on AATW cover version of Paradise & Dreams. The debut single on the new group is called Flying Away. Good luck Demand!

   Order: Limited blue MasterWax slipmat sets
HappyHardcore.com and MasterWax records are giving you the chance to pickup an extremely limited blue edition MasterWax slipmat set (2 mats). As you can see the artwork below on the slipmat is amazing, what's more is that this artwork was commissioned for this slipmat design, yes that's right, this is not a scan of someone else work, it is not a rip off of someone else's work it is artwork drawn by a Japanese manga artist especially for these mats. MasterWax records have only made 25 sets of this rare blue edition collectors item and you can only buy it from HappyHardcore.com direct.

MasterWax went all out for these slipmat's quality wise. The slipmat's themselves are a baby soft material that caress the vinyl while offering exactly the right degree of slip and control. Manufactured with a mix of synthetic and natural fiber blends to create a super soft but resilient fabric with just the right amount of give. Unlike the mass produced "scouring pad" slipmats these slipmats were printed using the very latest techniques which leave no tactile print on the surface of the slipmat - the slipmats are as soft and smooth on the surface as they were prior to the print because the inks are transferred deep into the fibers, rather like a rug or carpet. The slipmat's have no plastic feel or appearance, these are the real deal!

We are selling a set (2 mats) including world wide shipping for 3,800 Japanese Yen which is axp. 19 UK Pounds / USD$37.20 / 27.70 Euro / CAD $44.40 / AUD $47.70.

These slipmat's look so good we did not want to sell them! Due to the limited nature this offer we are only offering them for sale for 5 days, we are sure we will sell out before that so if you want a set please order as soon as possible. Orders finish December 10th 2004 or when stock runs out so click the graphic or click here to order.

Please note: A set includes 2 slipmats.




Artwork + Real photo - absolutely no color difference after print!
