Im 40 and I always love listening to this remembering the days bouncing about as a teen happy no worries having the best time of my life with friends, those were the days! Feel lucky to have been born in the 80s growing up with the music I did. Music is my saviour in life ❤
38... and, yeah man, those were indeed the best times... well, OUR best times, anyway. I'm quite sure there are new generations of kids carving out their own best times as we speak, albeit to a different soundtrack :). I remember thinking back then, at certain events, under the influence of certain things "These are gonna be the best times of my life"... then feeling immediately immature/embarrased by the thought cos, ya know, so much of life yet to experience, can't really make that call yet, right?!.... well apparently I could... still the high water mark for me ;).
These Bonkers mixes were my all time favorites and I still listen to them often. Basically the first music I really got heavily into as a teenager around 2004-2005. Really appreciate this selection!
Exactly the same, my mates brother had a bonkers CD Bonkers 9 (Scott Brown) we listened to it, we couldn't believe it, it was unreal 33 now and never looked back. NECKBREAKER, DEFINITION OF A BAD BOY. vibes.
@@antithesis-audio Bonkers is a life defining mix for me. HHC may be a bit played out for me, I only listen to it 4 times a month now instead of every day like I did when I was young, but hardcore will never die.
i saw this room milion times but i never asked: where the heck is exit?! :D this feeling when you really forgot some great music but Cotts to the rescue! reminds you how you missed those

Hi there DJ Cotts!! ⏲️ 4 more Happiness....at × 1.25!!! Loving the Energy!! Thank you so much for your great sets!! Happiness in Hardcore!!! Yayyy!!!❤🎵🎶❤
Yeah I have played 244 tracks across this mix series now... it's forcing me to dig! I have already pre picked about 40 more, but after that it's really going to get tough to keep finding slammers :)
Bring on their best, but don't forget the cry: Hardcore...Will... Never. Die. (Bonkers X Hixxy) Also, I Adore last track on Mix Without a Name :) Makes me want to hop around the room too!
Thank you! You ruined my early night but sacrifices must be made for music :) Heh - Cheers - and selfishly I hope you still have time over the next while to put out a few more mixes as well :)
Another week, another high energy mix to get you through the day. Although I find myself dancing more like Cotts than doing work!! Thanks Cotts, keep em coming!!!!
DJ Cotts I love listening to your music and cooking incredible soups. Today Im making chicken stock which will then be used in my delicious chicken soup which will be done in like 14 hours lol
AHHHH FUCKIN LEGEND MATE! :D Tracks like Starlight, Underground, Wonderful Life, Fire In The Sky, Black Magic Bad Magic, Get Hype, Sonic were all that I couldn't get enough of back in the days. Thanks for doing this mix!! Keeping the best hardcore alive mate. This set could have easily been 2 hours haha
Yeah there were just so many classics to dig through from this era. In good news, they are lined up ready to go for next week :) Thanks so much for watching mate!
hey so do you think Black Magic Bad Magic is unironically encouraging you to sell your soul for power? I can imagine it's a part of an initiation into that weaker form of lifestyle. I like it because it gives me the courage to say no I will never sell my soul and part of my hardcore principals is holding onto my soul and growing it with my own glorious willpower. Idk sorry don't mean to personally attack anyone or anything but I want to chat with another Hardcore fanatic about their thoughts on the track. All the best m8 cheers
Set up bang on, tune selection bang on, mixing bang on, hardcore best served up on vinyl, the best bit watching a DJ loving what he does, keep these mixes rolling, big respect
Awesome... Happy to hear those old but gold Tracks. These mix putting a smile in my face and remembers me, of good old days :-) DJCotts is such a great DJ.... Pls keep on going :-)
Another amazing mix. Love the dig into the big kick era and early UK stuff. Right as I was getting into UKHC these tracks were pretty much the bread and butter as they were still kind of new...It's crazy to think I'm still here after all these years too, and I still rinse them out, old and new. Lovely vocal bits in there...I'd be lying if I said I didn't sing along to Born Again or Fires In The Sky 😁
I really wish they whuld bring events like dream scape back again . I was always to young to go but new about them so just had to settle for ther box sets. Your a top dj by the way.
I want to love something so much in my life, the same way @DjCotts loves the UFO & Marley - Underground Vinyl. 25:50 - 26:05 is just pure emotion and love for the music! (and heck, i dont blame him)
Looking back at some of these tracks from this era It shows how far ahead labels like next gen and hardcore evolution were. Fires in the sky still gives me goosebumps though!!!
Check out some Eufeion stuff, they has done some capture of the 2003-2004 sound with a few things lately (both re-creating the sound and remixing to more of today's sound). Specifically, I really enjoy This is the Night Remix, Fire Burning; but also don't sleep on their Beautiful Day or Imagination Remixes
Have a blast at this, i mess around in FL studio sometimes but I'm not really good but this was inspired by old UK HC. ua-cam.com/video/dh25FlMBzqA/v-deo.html
This is such a great nostalgic mix- takes me back to raving to these tunes back in the day! There's nothing like it for happy vibes!! Also, 6,500 views in two days suggests happy hardcore still has a pretty devoted following... I'll put it out there- Fires in the Sky is the best (alright one of the best) hardcore track ever written :-)
Thanks for another banging mix Cotts, Day always gets better when I see one of these. Storm & Euphony - Blinded [WARPED02] - still a fave to this day, one of the many bangers on Warped Science
Yesss, that's awesome Ben! I actually never heard the first track Visions before this mix. I found it by accident and it was so cool discovering something new from 2002.
That transition into "To The Floor" was godly, what an amazing track. But HOLY SHIT CLSM FREEE YOUUUR MIIINDDD YES MAN! Amazing picks. I keep editing this comment but every single song is godly, per usual Jeeebus mate. Styles & Breeze - Sonic got my heart goin sonic too bro
Happy Hardcore needs to be at festivals again. I remember going to EDC and Nocturnal back in 2002-05 and of course DnB, Trance, House got their own stages and HH was like in the back outside with a small following.
Love the track selection! I had goosebumps most of the set. They just don't make hardcore like this anymore. This is by far my favorite era of happy hardcore
![RAVE DEE [Melodic Techno & Progressive House] Live set - KARMA EP 06.](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/sdR8PJ4spBo/mqdefault.jpg)
This hardcore tunes and era just geting better and better the more i listen 2 them. Cheers from sweden
I love u cotts come to England
Right back at you kaylynn88! Thanks for watching! I hope to get over to England as soon as I can :)!
Happy, happy, joy, joy! It's time for Cotts.
:D Cheers campusrunner!
I do not know why, but I want to cry because of this mix. So heartfelt.
Perhaps because of the sound quality of the vinyl 😭
Tuesday morning stuck in London traffic was just made enjoyable early morning rave!!
Eyy Dj3P51LON hopefully it helps make the trip go a little bit faster :) Hope you have a great day
what an opener
Ah yes, it's a track I never really heard back in the day. But I just had to start with it. Such a tune.
No school like the school of vinyl. Thanks for the lesson master.
Anytime lachlan, thanks for watching mate

Real classic piano melodies on that UFO & Marley track, like a wave of nostalgia

Right back at you JERVI :) Thanks so much for listening!
These Bonkers mixes were my all time favorites and I still listen to them often. Basically the first music I really got heavily into as a teenager around 2004-2005. Really appreciate this selection!
Also eerie that I was just listening to Bonkers 11 with a friend a few hours ago getting nostalgic, and I just noticed that you posted this today :O
Cheers SirZero0!! Same here, I'll always love them I think :)

Agreed, you can't help but stomp to it hey.

Just what i need when i get home from a crap afternoon at work. WOOT!!
Ah SpinFX hope you have a good evening mate, tomorrow is a new day :D In the meantime 'gotta set your body freeeeeeeeeEEEEEEE'
@@DjCotts Days off tomorrow bro!! 4 on 4 off lol its hard lol
@Djcotts thanks for playing these bangers. These were the tracks that got me hooked on HH. Love the early Hixxy, Scott Brown. Cheers from Brisbane.
Cheers Steve, thanks for watching mate. I'm in the same boat here, these tracks hold such good memories for me :)
Totally Bonkers! 😃
Indeed! I just couldn't help but go back to these albums for this one, some really memorable stuff in there
@@DjCotts Your channel introduced me to the Bonkers albums and the UK/Happy Hardcore genre all those years ago.
Scott brown is the level 10 cotts munches him up so good ❤️
Gaaaaaaay
The mix in to Wonderful Life from The Saga Continues is brilliant. 🔥
Absolutely loveeeeeeeeeeeee this. I am just listening to it over and over again. thank you.
ANOTHER ONE !! WOOT
MOAR Classics, hopefully I can get another one done in time for next week :)
"I Adore" - great tune. Must be getting tricky not to repeat any tracks now!
Yeah I have played 244 tracks across this mix series now... it's forcing me to dig! I have already pre picked about 40 more, but after that it's really going to get tough to keep finding slammers :)
One of my favs also, great tune
My favourite since I was a wee lassie listening to my bonkers cds 💃 🎶💕
Starting off with Visions, love it. It's such a sleeper track imo. I've been rinsing it since 2003, it's a banger and also SOOOO easy to mix.
This set was hype! Played a lot of my all time favorites...Visions, Pay Attention, Starlight, Sonic, Na Na Na, and Fires in the Sky!
@@randomeffekt5013 Ahhh thank you! Glad you got the same nostalgic trip I did :D thanks so much for listening!
Vinyls never stop!! UK hardcore joinly Spanish Makina were two of the best electronic styles ! Congratulations for set cotts! 🔊🔊
They continue to be great styles, glad you enjoyed them!!
So hyped to listen to this
Cheers Andy, I hope it lived up to the hype!
Great mix! But Vinylgroover had some of the best early happy hardcore. Would have loved to hear those tracks again 😊
Well I know what I'm listening to this morning! I miss your live shows from last year!
Cheers Rob! Hope you enjoy the set! More live shows to come, just trying to focus on videos atm :)
Bring on their best, but don't forget the cry: Hardcore...Will... Never. Die. (Bonkers X Hixxy)
Also, I Adore last track on Mix Without a Name :) Makes me want to hop around the room too!
Sound Without a Name was such a good tune. HTID
omg you dropped Rock Ya Hardcore absolute banger!!
Yes, dropping that track was absolutely essential. Such a slammer.
legend for uploading once again
Thank you Andries!
Thank you! You ruined my early night but sacrifices must be made for music :) Heh - Cheers - and selfishly I hope you still have time over the next while to put out a few more mixes as well :)
hahaha ah cb Drift, some bedtime relaxation music for you :) thanks as always for watching mate
Spinning fire as always Cotts! Keeping me going in the USA!!!
It's crazy that WHUTB 14 is out, yet I'm still hooked on and listening to ep. 1-2-3 over and over again.
Ahhh John that's amazing to hear :) Thank you for listening over so many years!
This is dope. It always is when DJ Cotts is behind the decks. What I would give to stand next to you for one mix.
Another week, another high energy mix to get you through the day. Although I find myself dancing more like Cotts than doing work!!
Thanks Cotts, keep em coming!!!!
Hahaha hopefully it's not too much of a distraction Kylo :) Much more to come, thanks for watching!
I really do feel Born Again!!!❤❤❤❤
Gammer and G Spencer - “Steam” is still an absolute banger, and so is “Aurora”! They made amazing tunes together!
So true! Steam is top tier!
DJ Cotts I love listening to your music and cooking incredible soups. Today Im making chicken stock which will then be used in my delicious chicken soup which will be done in like 14 hours lol
You are a legend!!! Epic music and its awesome to see you enjoy the music as much as I do!
Always a hero to me. Great mix, takes me back.

Yeah, they really were pushing the best stuff. Couldn't agree more!
Wish more people were trying to recreate this sound and remix these tracks, rather than 90s happy hardcore 🥱
Yeah this was the sound for me, absolutely love it :)
Check out some Eufeion stuff, they has done some capture of the 2003-2004 sound with a few things lately (both re-creating the sound and remixing to more of today's sound).

I need more music like this in my life.
Love the fact there are tracks on this mix I've never heard before. Great work 👏
Yesss, that's awesome Ben! I actually never heard the first track Visions before this mix. I found it by accident and it was so cool discovering something new from 2002.
Awesome mix, slowly building my bonkers collection back up as I lost the CD's years ago in a move 👌👌
Eyy Mugen, awesome to hear. thanks for the kind words!
That transition into "To The Floor" was godly, what an amazing track. But HOLY SHIT CLSM FREEE YOUUUR MIIINDDD YES MAN! Amazing picks.
I keep editing this comment but every single song is godly, per usual

Ahhh I had to re listen to that transition, it came together well! :) Thank you for listening mate.
Love it mate, super excited whenever I see people pushing this sound!

Phenomenal mix!
Love the track selection! I had goosebumps most of the set. They just don't make hardcore like this anymore. This is by far my favorite era of happy hardcore
