On the happy 2b hardcore chapters that he mixes it sounds super good. I am wondering how does he sound live does he sound that good because some of those mixes on those cds are just insanely good.

yah, i'm pretty sure they are done through computers and not from vinyl. live he sounds ok, nothing incredible, but the name and song selection really go for him. he drops a lotta big popular songs in his sets so it's gets poeple going.

i don't think the mixes on the cd's are that good. sure the beat matching might be okay, but mixing isn't about beatmatching. i think his mixes are technically fairly basic and boring.
drugs is not the answer... drugs? is the question... yes is the answer

I've always found the H2BH albums good for the track selection, but the mixing is to be honest a bit boring. I've got a few recordings of him playing live at Hulabaloo though, live he plays around a bit more, more experimanet like - he also usually has an MC when he's live.
I prefer a DJ who really goes for it and makes a few cock ups to one that plays it safe and gets everything exactly perfect.

Hey, look at that. The perfect topic for me to respond to. I just had the pleasure of talking with Anabolic and that interview is at www.technopunkmusic.com/article1160.html
It's kind of long but it's very, very inspiring. Good man, he is --

Well I'd have to agree with what has been said. The happy 2b hardcore chapters do have great track selection but the mixing is nothing special. Not to badmouth Frolic, much respect for all that he has done for the scene, but he isn't the greatest of all happycore DJs. He's mostly a lot of hype. I've seen him play live here in Winnipeg, and ya he can mix alright, but i think our local happycore DJs here (Primarily Phosphor and Justrich...who are finally starting to get more noticed) can out mix him anyday.

I think he is a good DJ as well although i never seen him live and i agree he has good tracks in his cds but i must say i think it has to do with his sound quality. There are songs on his cds that i never liked but when i heard it on another mix i was enjoying it even more. The last cd has a great selection but is sounds too bassy and rumbly and not enough clarity. I think Chapter 3 was the best in all of them because it was much more clear and captured much more detail in the music.

ya, i see him all the time live at parties, again he's allright i suppose, but not that great. Just not enough goes on , just track after track , slow boring mixing but beat matching is usually pretty good . It's a shame about the diggitally mixed Happy2bhardcore , a real shame ( in my opinion anyway )

i'd just like to mention.. if nothing else, frolic is great for newbs to the scene.
If your just newly exposing someone to happy hardcore, the easiest way to get them into it, is with big name tracks like frolic puts on HTBH... PLUS! it gives them a sense of what they should buy raight off the bat, they can start by getting some of the HTBH chapters that they like... and see what they like
I personally enjoy frolic (by no means my fav
but what the hell right, makes me happy!
