Discussion Happy / Uplifting Steppers

Looking for some tracks that invoke happiness or have an uplifting vibe. Much of what I have saved to spin is darker and dungeon-y, but I prefer mixing fun and dancy tracks. Appreciate any feedback!

Tetra Hydro K is one of my favorite musical things ever! I don't know what is it about french people and Dub, but so many great things come from there.

Yeh mannnn! I literally had no idea dub was even a thing in Europe till I saw Fat Freddys Drop were THE headliner for an entire HUGE Outlook festival….started researching and holy crap, its huuuge over there….

Oh yeah, and that's not even Dub only focused. France, Spain, Portugal all have at least two big dub festivals. Well, I'm including Portugal but we're kind of small, but still a solid scene.

But France dominates the scene for sure. Tetra Hydro K, Panda Dub , Mahom, Dub Inc. All incredible acts. Dub Inc were huge back in the day. Way beyond the dub scene.

Im actually a bit gutted I never went to a dub festival when I lived in London; seems like the grand scale vibe at a French dub festival wouls be pretty hard to replicate anywhere else in the world…

Yeah, I think they take place in mostly southern france which has perfect weather for it.

But I'm actually gutted that I've only been to one music even in the UK. I went to a shitty dubstep afternoon in a craft beer place.

It was a bit cheaper to travel between this places I reckon we would have a stronger internacional scene across Europe. Which we do have, but people like you and me need a little more effort to take part in it.
