We all know it it. It has been remixed by countless of artists. It was originally a song from the 1960s that found its way into the Eurodance world as 'New Atlantic/ Berri - Sunshine After the Rain' with a few Hardcore artists having a god at their version (Go Mental and then the later Scott Brown Remix) while Paul Elstak of course had his 'Rainbow in the Sky' which also spawned remixes.
Some who have the 1994 New Atlantic Vinyl might notice an 'Original U4EA Breakbeat Mix' which is the best version on the release but different from the actual 1994 Hardcore of the times.
After revisiting this classic online I noticed a comment that 'Slipmatt played this in 1993'
Eh? Slipmatt played it in 1993? So it is older than 1994 then?
Well I came across this. It is classified as the true 'original' which is the same as the 1994 Breakbeat mix but slightly more rougher round the edges. In fact it sounds like a lot of the 1992 Old Skool.
Does that make it the first ever Happy Hardcore release?
Well.. Slipmatt played it...
U4EA - Sunshine (Mozart's Bedroom Mix)

Thought it was generally accepted smd 1 was the first hhc release. (July 1993)

Although I wouldn't call any of that Happy Hardcore (cause I understand no one did back then), wouldn't Smart E's Sesame's Treat be considered the earliest then? it's also from 1992

I would personally suggest DJ Seduction - Can You Feel It. The 5th release on Seductions Impact label from 1992.

Good track. The strange thing is I listened out for all of his 1993 releases that I could find uploaded and that year he seemed to have only made dark Jungle and did not really return to the happy sound until 1994.

Everyone always says SMD 1 was the first happy hardcore track but there was plenty of tracks with vocals and pianos before that, I think people just wanted to differentiate between generally darker stuff which got called jungle and the generally more uplifting stuff so coined the term happy hardcore.
