Here’s a nice slice of 93 proto-happy hardcore/jungle. Nothing particularly adventurous or experimental here, just Dionne Warwick’s “Say a Little Prayer” combined with choppy amens, pitch shifted breaks and even a little ragga. DJ Pooch did a few good early hardcore/jungle singles, including one on Lucky Spin that’s definitely worth checking out. He went on to do a lot of happy hardcore from its inception until about 98 or so when that style started to go pear shaped.

Here’s a wicked remix of DJ Gershwin he did which isn’t as melodic, just a straightahead amen smasher.

Totally brilliant, on the wicked Swan-e mix from Dreamscape NYE 93/94 I fink
Haha! That’s amazing, I was just talking to my flatmate about this tune last week and we wondering what it was called. Now I know, thankyou mr devnull
@Tim: Haha yes, I had that tape-pack with the Swanee set, but I heard the tune first on the Easygroove set from the same night. And he uses the track much better, check it out:
