    Harlecore is the souvenir, a collection of dance music so deliriously upbeat you can't help but surrender to it.

    Harlecore is '90s rave held up for review, assessment and full enjoyment, and if there isn't a ton of depth here, the breadth (with Harle essentially exploring four different sub-styles through his various personas) is more than impressive enough to make up for it. It's all pulled off with such glee and energy, that in terms of pure enjoyment, it's very difficult to fault Harlecore.

    Even without the conceptual framework, Harlecore is a briskly entertaining look back -- and forward -- at some of EDM's fizziest, gaudiest sounds.

    When celebration seems impossible, music like Harlecore can ferry you to a world that’s brighter and more interesting than your own.

    While ‘Harlecore’ may be primed to bring the party, it’s just not quite the mad one we were hoping for.

    Harlecore is big, dumb escapist fun with – as no one says any more – a massive donk on it.

    A bit of everything, for everyone! Mayhem being my favorite of the bunch.
    Overall solid record, though DJ Dream can be a bit slow and boring at time.

    Danny goes through 4 alter egos, so if you like fast or slow tempo electronic songs you got them here
    One word to describe this: NOSTALGIC, most songs here sound nostalgic to me, BUT(a big BUT) I won't be streaming again the MC Boing or DJ Ocean tracks
    My personal picks: Shining Stars, Do You Remember, On A Mountain
