Force & Styles

Among the era's standout happy hardcore anthems, Force & Styles delivered the widely embraced "Heart of Gold." First issued in 1996, the track sustained strong popularity through the rest of the decade, which in turn led to the duo's full-length album of the same name appearing on hiGHBorn Records in 2000. Although Force & Styles put out dozens of additional 12" releases, none achieved the same level of recognition as "Heart of Gold," which earned the pair a lasting place in happy hardcore history.
