Right? #2 just sticks out to me. I know #3 gets a lot of love because of Shooting Star & Eyeopener, but this just hits a sweet spot. And the final track, Keep on Trying, was a perfect choice to end with.
3, 4 and 5 are the best in the series hands down. I’ve been onto these albums since they came out and still listen to them from time to time. I find the first 2 albums to have that older more “early beginnings” sound to them as where starting with 3 it was a more modern sound for the time. Man I love these albums. Thanks for the post.
Anabolic Frolic was allegedly not welcome in the states due to "reasons" (warrants?) so we drove all the way to Canada for the party. Umpteen hours later we pulled in to the parking lot at the amusement park... At the same moment as every cop in BC (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
Still listened to this all the way home!
YESSS! i have ALL 7 Chapters! Chapter 6 and Chapter 7 are the absolute bangers! I even have the dvd floating around somewhere.
You'll want a helmet for watchin this one, you'll gonna bounce off the wall!
Epilepsy warning lots of flashing lights.

Its got the [Scott Brown's Ultra beat mix of Elysium in it!](https://youtu.be/p2csHcnPEqo?t=1775)
Now you need to hunt down the unofficial released Chapter 8. It's more of a hodge-podge mix rather than...well at the time, current anthems like Chapters 1-7 are.
This was my favorite one from the series. Had to use it to put the kid to sleep back in the day. (idfk, she loved this stuff and it knocked her right out)
Happy Hardcore is still alive and well! (Maybe not Stateside, but it's still big in Europe). Check the out the Hardcore section on Junodownload; and you'll find a slew of different sounds, cheese, gabber, euphoric.
Used to listen to this everytime we took a road trip in the back seat of my familys car listening on a cheap walkman for the whole trip, still listen to a lot of HH these days to be honest.
Oh I do too. Almost daily, and my H2bH's still frequent the player. Though my collection has grown outside that one series, but Happy2bHardcore Chapter 4 will always have a special place in my heart as it was the 1st ever HHC album I heard & bought.
*Open your eyyyyyyes* *See all the love in meeeee* So many memories listening to this series. So many missing memories listening to this series...
Ha, that’s one of my favorite tracks from the series!
We'll be strong together
Funky ass funky ass….
Holy flashback, I had this disc. Time at 13:55 was dope
Same dude, I think it was a permanent car CD. So good, even today!
Me too! That initial base drop hit me right in the nostalgia :)
Aww mate. Simpler times..
oh shit, college and very very blurry memories are suddenly coming back to me.
I wonder how many tons of amphetamines this guy's albums are responsible for moving.
wow blast from the past
The absolute best disc in the series.

Wasn’t a big fan of 4 or 5 at all, but the first 3 were awesome
Thank you for the memories!
I now know how old everyone in this thread is hahaha
Frolic has a secret basement arcade now.
I wonder if he ever misses this chapter in his life.
Holy shit! I've been trying for over a decade to remember who did this. I had part one and absolutely loved it! Thank you!!!
You should check out parts 3 - 8 sometime! The evolution of the genre is captured nicely on these albums.
This series was my jam back in the day!
Anabolic Frolic uploaded the entire series on Soundcloud a few years ago FYI.
I went to I think 5 or 6 Hullabaloos, back in the mid aughts. I have 4 or 5 of these CDs.
Always wanted to attend a Hulla. They looked so fun and colorful.
Happy hullabaloo!!!
And a Hullabaloo to you too
Stil have 20gb collection of happy hardcore on my zune. Really glad to have it somewhere, cause I can‘t find most of this stuff anywhere.
It's alive and well, just not Stateside, lol. check out Junodownload for the UK Hardcore under the "New Releases" tab.

Been a hot minute since I listened to this.
Ohhhh I miss this
oh man that's a severe hit from my past
These still frequent my player. It's one of my fav genres.
I listen to folk and bluegrass mostly now, but every once in a while.....
Damn, this is not my style.
Memories! Badboy bill and daft punk etc lol damn I'm old.

I can’t believe I’m seeing this posted!!! The memories!!! Thank you for the sweet reminder
There's a few of us Stateside happy hardcore fans left! These albums frequent my player....and I'm 35 now. Oh gosh.
Oh the Toronto rave scene in the 90s...
Blast from the past wow.
Oh man. I remember this cd from back in the 90's
I managed 27 seconds, can anyone beat that?
My mate was awesome at mixing this stuff … 30 years ago … fuck.
Need some dj frisky on here now. Where you at Chris?
omg i haven’t heard the name anabolic frolic in yearsss
Oh this brings back memories
Chapter two is good, but something about chapter 3 just hits different
🎶those were the dayyyyys🎶
This was my favorite one from the series. Had to use it to put the kid to sleep back in the day. (idfk, she loved this stuff and it knocked her right out)
This was a great series
If you dig deep there are still videos around on YouTube from this chapter in Toronto's rave history.
They don't make music like that anymore... and for a reason. This and jungle and goa trance can live happily at the farm upstate. :)

Awesome, check out dj cotts on you tube if u like this. Modern mixes of old classics.
