Billy Daniel Bunter

Billy Bunter was responsible for changing the direction of happy hardcore when he set up his GBT label, releasing trance core and forward thinking techno numbers. Billy Bunter released a load of hard house under his Hardtrax, Up For It and Honey Pot labels. In those days Judge Jules, Tall Paul, Peter Wardman and Madam Friction were among his supporters. The fusion of hard house with hardcore continues. But Daniel “Billy” Bunter’s move from the glow-stick waving happy hardcore scene to that of energetic hard house is by no means sudden. Secured neatly under his belt is a successful GBT label which was launched at a time when the happy hardcore scene was at it’s peak. The original purpose of GBT was to eradicate the cheese which had slowly crept into the happy hardcore scene. The clean, sharp and futuristic sound of GBT not only impregnated itself into the hardcore scene but spread further a field, gaining a following from Tony De Vit, who cut dub plates as soon as the tracks were available, Pete Wardman and acid techno maestro Choci. GBT has went as far as Daniel could possibly take it. The label has had a big influence on the direction of hardcore.
