C&D Bounce

A modern revival of UK Happy Hardcore and rave culture — engineered for today’s dance-floors, livestreams and playlists without losing the soul of the 90s

C&D Bounce exists to celebrate, preserve and push forward the sound and spirit of UK Happy Hardcore, rave and bounce culture. Born from the golden era of 90s dance music but built for the modern ecosystem, the imprint champions high-BPM energy, euphoric melodies, piano-led hooks and hands-in-the-air moments — without feeling dated or stuck in rewind. This isn’t nostalgia for nostalgia’s sake; it’s a contemporary interpretation designed for today’s DJs, ravers and digital-first audiences.

The label’s mission is simple: release quality, future-facing hardcore that hits as hard on a festival system as it does on Twitch, TikTok and YouTube. C&D Bounce supports both emerging and established artists who live and breathe the scene, offering a platform rooted in authenticity, culture and community. With releases across Beatport and key streaming platforms — plus strong visual identity and content-led promotion — C&D Bounce aims to keep the rave alive, relevant and relentlessly fun.
