Old School Frolic vid

Found an oldschool video of me spinning in 1996. No one knew what happy hardcore was back then, but it all has to start somewhere!

New Anabolic Frolic website

Hello everybody, I’ve updated my website and made it more “2.0”. Everything will be posted as a blog and can be commented on. I’ll be posting lots of stuff, but I started with the 8 chapters of Happy2bHardcore so everyone can post their comments/memories of each CD. I’m going to go back and add my own thoughts and memories of each one, so check back on that.

Mostly what I’d like to do is have a permanent memory site for all my fans out there. The rave scene was an important part of all of our lives, and too much of it has been erased already.

Happy2bHardcore Chapter 8

Not part of the official series, this was a “what might have been” release taken from a concept mix Anabolic Frolic recorded earlier. It was given out free as a bonus for all ticket buyers of the 10-year Hullabaloo Reunion party in 2007. Moonshine Music had been out of business for several years, and Anabolic Frolic had retired from promoting raves for 2 years, so this was an un-official release (hence the “Lost” mix). It was never released officially or distributed to stores or online outside of some extra copies made available on Anabolic Frolic’s store along with live recordings, DVDs and other merch from the event.

There was speculation online that this was an attempt by Anabolic Frolic to resurrect the series commercially, but all of that is just online gossip since his DJ and rave promoter career had already wined down, and it was nothing more than a free bonus made for the Hullabaloo Reunion.

Happy2bHardcore Chapter 7

Released January 2002. This would be the last official release. Moonshine Music, the record label that published the series, would go out of business later that year, a victim of Napster and the changing music market.

Frolic says: This is one of my favorites.

Happy2bHardcore Chapter 1

The original. The one that started it all. Over 100,000 sold when they were expecting to sell maybe 10,000 units. It has a very classic rave sound nowadays, but some huge timeless anthems on here such as Heart of Gold paved the way for a whole new era of raves in North America.
