In the mid to late 90’s as hardcore became a huge phenomenon across Europe, a lighter, happier, bouncier radio friendly version of the genre was created. It was labelled as Popcore. With a catchy sing-a-long chorus, the genre produced some Top Ten hits across Europe including the international hit I Wanna be A Hippy. But as soon as it topped the charts, the genre died and morphed into the happy hardcore scene. This special mix will take you back to those bouncy bouncy sounds of popcore in all it’s sped up madness.
