"Commonly known as "old skool hardcore", British underground breakbeat music in the early '90s was undoubtedly one of the greatest musical periods of our time in my opinion, and believe me, I'm not alone. Taking influences from all over the place, including the recent house and techno scenes, coupled with sped-up hip hop breakbeats, and a dash of originality, the tracks throughout the rave scene of this era instantly become something rather special, and have always represented electronic music's truly golden years for me, as both the music which I grew up listening to, as well as a downright wicked style of music in its own right. A lot of very early hardcore influences appeared in what were basically still old skool house and techno records, and these were played alongside early hardcore tunes in the same sets without question. Tracks such as Energy Flash, Dominator, and Playing With Knives spring to mind, and you can find such pieces in the relevant sections, with the ones featured below being strictly of the full-on hardcore breakbeat variety."
According to this article, Apparently, it seems the older generation of OldSKool Hardkore thought that Happy Hardkore was a 'new phenomenon'. There will never be that feeling again when Happy Rave music ruled the Electronic Dance Scene.

It's not Jump or Hardstlye though, it's a very very weak imitation of it.

The earlier the sound, the better it is. When I started listening to Hardcore (I think in 2007) I just loved the music, but then I started listening to older and older stuff, you could somehow say I went back in time! hehe. And now I just love the early Hardcore sound (the 130 bpm stuff) and it's so cool to see new House tracks with old Hardcore influences and DJ's like Pete Tong or Carl Cox throwing these kind of tracks in their sets and everyone loves it. And not some chavy shit which I feel ashamed to even know about...
Now enjoy some old Hardcore/House! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFhRYXAExh0
(2:40 is mad!!)
Edit: By the way, one of the guys from Tall Tin Box is the guy from Tin Tin Out who worked with Espiritu and who did "Always" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKiHIUJseSs) an absolutely amazing track! Styles & Breeze have covered this in 2006, I first liked their version but now that I've heard the original I just find it terrible haha! (well it's not really the original it's covered from a 60's song, but that's what rave music is all about :P)
Finally I have found what I really love :)
