Happy hardcore, the most frequently reviled genre within dance culture, is alive and kicking, according to the press release accompanying React's upcoming mix CD Bonkers- The Rezurrection.

"Yes, believe it or not, the Bonkers hardcore craze has returned to prominence," React suggest.

"Virtually mirroring the pre-corporate madness of the mid 90s, hardcore is enjoying a massive renaissance as the suburban and even provincial cousin of drum & bass."

React have released no less than 7 different Bonkers compilations since the mid 90s, selling hundreds of thousands of CDs in the process. The new CD has been remixed by original hardcore champions Hixxy, Sharkey and Sy and combines new tracks with anthems including Hixxy and Sharkey's Toy Town.

Bonkers- The Rezurrection is out on July 15.
