Biography Party Animals

Very successful happy hard core act by house producers Flamman & Abraxas.

1995

Gabbers Dennis, Evert, David and Paul (the only gabber with long hair) play a part in the video I Wanna Be A Hippy by Technohead. The Flamman and Abraxas remix of this song becomes a huge hit both in the Netherlands and abroad and the two producers decide to form Party Animals.

1996

The singles Have You Ever Been Mellow?, Hava Naquila and Acquarius all shoot to the number one spot. The latter two are both taken from the album Good Vibrations, which enters the Top 10 of the album charts in August. The video that accompanies Acquarius receives two Thunderdome Awards, one for Best Happy Hardcore video and one for Best Happy Hardcore single. The Party Animals release the single Nazi Scum to put and end to the accusations that all gabbers are rightwing extremists.

March sees the release of the fourth single We Like To Party, which precedes the second album party@worldaccess.nl that will be released by the end of the year. Party Animals sign to CNR and start their own label: Animal Records. Flamman and Abraxas release the Bob Marley cover Get Up Stand Up under the name Mini Animals. The single does not make it into the charts.
