31-12-'98 Sharkey @ Helter Skelter - The Final Countdown

Genre is Freeform here in the UK, but would fall under UK Happy Hardcore on this site

There is no Happy Hardcore in this set, absolutely incorrect tag. If Sharkey played Happy Hardcore in the Technodrome at Helter Skelter, there would have been a riot.

For me it sounds like Oldschool / Trance
What is your suggestion?

I agree that there's no happy hardcore in this set. There's also no trance in this set, or oldschool, it's all Freeform.

Freeform spawned from UK Hardcore (UKHH on here). Which unfortunately is the closest tag on LSDB.

That entire Billy Bunter/Helix/Sharkey/DJ Fury sound from the 90's was called Trancecore (not a great name), which was heavily influenced by Hard Trance from Germany. IMO, this style was Hard Trance that was harder and faster. Trancecore eventually mutated into Freeform at the turn of the century. I suppose you could add a Hard Trance tag to "balance out" the Happy Hardcore tag.
