I dont think there is much happy hardcore on the dial anymore, i know one dj who playes it every now and then on kool fm, but since eruption fm finished there hasn't been much on the dial unfortunately, i used to play a lot of happy hardcore when i was a dj on eruption

Sad state really, these two types of moosic are non existent on the airwaves, stations used to play a varied selection, now each station has the same shit, day in day out...+1 to Tunein, find exactly what u want that way

TuneIn is absolutely pants. It used to be a simple, effective and decent app. Now it is utter shite - merely an advertising vehicle. It takes far too long to start and crashes momentarily whilst it loads all of its bloatware before the app is usable. Then, when it finally becomes usable, it offers a little nugget of hope that it might be working. So, you tap the search bar, but it's not completely loaded yet and the area you've just tapped changes before the app recognises that you've tapped the screen. As a result, you end up tapping an advert which launches the Play Store (or the iPiss equivalent) which you then need to close. Complete dross.

The only station's I can think of occasionally still playing it is Kool, Origin, Vision, Raw, Cyndicut & True Flava's.

All about Audials! Functions exactly the same as TuneIn but doesn't bloat your device anywhere near as much, no stupid adverts, easier on the eye & doesn't have that gay social aspect TuneIn seems to have these days. Recordings are also automatically converted/saved straight to your device as an mp3 file.
TuneIn in comparison is utter shite!

eruption - blast from the past used to lock in now and again to that station. just seems to be the same styles catered for london at the mo across the board . i love me garage n dnb having mixed these styles for a period of time also tho having a 4 yr spell mixing trance it would of been nice to hear the odd occasional show dedicated to that sound

Trance is a weird one, I dont think there has ever been a station dedicated to it unless I'm wrong? I do wish pirates would put on a show I mean how many deep house sets can you listen to before you start going a bit mad in the old noggin. Much as I love my dnb and jungle I would love to hear trance so where are you DJ's who play it??. As for happy hardcore, there are quite a few shows on pirates that play it usually late night. My old local pirate used to play it Saturday mornings
