The productions thread - Part III!

hey folks, so I decided to compile all my best massive presets into a folder and upload it. it's all dubstep, electro, dnb, and other bass oriented style presets. since I don't make a lot of that kind of music any more I'm no longer worried about keeping it a secret. some of them are amazing like the robot one, others are pretty standard, but over all they are usable and fairly unique. all of them are high quality and I'm fine with you using them in a production as long as you tweak them and use them to learn about sound design in massive.

so message me if you want them. there's 25 files all together, each one a different chunky and filthy bass. they sound good on there own but some processing will make them sound even better. I hope there's some interest in these and they help people out.it took me over a year to compile them so please don't start posting them left and right in different forums. these are very powerful presets so respect them.

I look forward to your messages.

Okay, can you please for the love of God explain to me how anyone can enjoy this? I've been listening to Electronic music since before I was a pre-teen. I've heard a lot of stuff and I have a pretty large and open minded appreciation for all sorts of EDM, but I've never understood how this can be enjoyed, especially by a decent amount of people. I honestly thought that Happy Hardcore was a joke when I first heard it, turns out people are actually serious :!.

Also here in Seattle its a pretty big EDM scene, yet again I don't know of a soul that listens to it other than for kicks and giggles.

To be fair that is a terrible example of Happy Hardcore.

If you were to go back to 1994-1995 there are some gems to be found, in the U.K our EDM scene came to prominence in the late 80's thanks to the Detroit/Chicago House/Techno scene emigrating across the pond, we had Acid House parties, which soon evolved into the early 90's Hardcore rave movement, then by 1993 the scene was in the doldrums, dark moody music with no real direction (IMO) then came 1994 and with it the birth of Happy Hardcore and Jungle (Although there is an argument to be had that it's inception was in 1993) which would later evolve to be known as Drum 'N' Bass (Bum In Ya Face =D ) During this time the scene split, Happy on one side, Jungle on the other which went onto and continues to enjoy commercial success.

Happy Hardcore has always been extremely unfashionable yet was also very popular at the same time, thus being the reason people claim to not know anybody who likes it or listens to it, and tbh after 1996 I rapidly lost interest as it did become pretty ridiculous yet to many it was still great

Anyway History lesson aside =D The fact remains that for many people Happy Hardcore was the most accessible form of Dance music, therefore broadening there horizons and enabling them to discover our broad church of House music, whatever Genre/Sub-Genre they went onto to discover.

I know I've totally rambled here but my point being Happy Hardcore is/was/and probably always will be a hugely important style of Music to all EDM lovers regardless of whether you like it or realise it.

It's place in Dance music history is well and truely assured no matter who decides to deride it.

I first Discovered Dance/House music (Or EDM as most people now call it) when I was around 12/13 years old back in 1992, the peak of the Rave scene was just about to pass and I was nowhere near old enough to attend any of the events, luckily my Brother was, so thanks to him and his tape collection I was able to discover The Prodigy (Experience Album) and some of his other tapes from a club in our home city called The Eclipse (World famous) like Grooverider and Slipmatt etc as the years progressed I discovered Happy Hardcore and even though I 'progressed' I still consider Happy Hardcore from 1994/1995 to be the golden era. Labels like Kniteforce, Impact, Hectic, Hectech, Universal, SMD, Ravers Choice etc etc all produced some classics.
