Quickdrop

Quickdrop is one of the busier names in happy hardcore, a Swedish producer from Gothenburg who keeps the bright, fast, euphoric side of hard dance well fed. His tracks lean on big vocals and uplifting melodies, the kind of sound built to make a festival crowd sing rather than just jump.

Fast, bright and vocal

Happy hardcore lives or dies on its hooks, and that is where Quickdrop puts his energy: quick tempos, major-key melodies and vocals front and centre. It is a warmer, more melodic corner of the hard styles, and he works it with a steady output of singles and remixes rather than the occasional big release.

A steady stream of anthems

Quickdrop’s catalogue runs deep, from ‘Superstar’, ‘What I See’ and ‘Wish’ to earlier cuts like ‘Rocket’ and ‘Airplanes’. He also reworks other artists’ tracks, including the ‘Miracle’ remix with Withard, showing the remix instinct that runs through a lot of happy hardcore.

Part of the happy hardcore wave

He sits comfortably alongside the genre’s international names, from Tatsunoshin to veterans like S3RL and Darren Styles, all working the same bright, high-speed sound.

Every new Quickdrop release lands on the Happy Hardcore Release Radar the day it hits Spotify. The full tracked catalogue is listed above.
