but first, looking through that list i think the only "happy" tune is skream's summer dreams and really isnt that just a garage tune?
So you're saying "Emalkay - Angie got stoned" is not happy? The only intelligable lyrics i could hear were "time!" and "walking around" so i dont hear any sad subject matter disguised behind happy instrumentation. If you can't describe that tune as positive or happy then I'm done connecting minds with you here.

(i MEAN! 'all i have is memories' wtf????? that is depressing right from the name!
i already said i didn't consider that tune to be happy.

dubstep was never meant to be happy...
maybe when it first started it was never intended to be that way, but its 2009 and a lot of tunes have come out that do not fit the original mold.

your query reflects an underexposure to fundamental tunes....
that's a fair assumption and i don't blame you for making it. just trust me when i say i very much have a grasp on what you seem to think is a complicated concept of celebrating through songs of anger or struggle that which needs to be explained to me. just trust me (you dont want to know whether i tuck my beard under or over the bedsheets when i go to bed or how i get along with the other weeds in the cracks of the sidewalks of society)

you seem to have a lot of rules you want to promote. you remind me of ultra right wing religious conservatives in the U.S.

certain types of art do. but i am also interested in cacophony and art that triggers the imagination and beckons one to look deeper inside themself, deeper than just the lower chakra or animalistic layer.
just imagine people at a family bbq listening to what they think is happy music but a few people there who are more conscious will giggle when they realize the underlying meaning to some of the lyrics or arrangements. what a trip that would be to see the unsuspecting! especially for the cronies smoking a spliff that looks more like a mannequin leg in the back garage. but it wouldnt happen if we had people with influence dictating the direction of 140 bpm double timed music to go. i hope you're not one of them.

its already been said but ill say it again: if you want happy music with interesting drums and deep bass then listen to some goddamn FUNKY. or eat some L and go to a psytrance rave in a field somewhere.
i already have a collection of tunes from L-vis 1990, Footsteps, Alias, I.D. It's good stuff. I played some that day too with a good reaction.

can't wait for all the scenejumpers and bros to be blown away like ash from the creative cherry that is the spliff dubstep.
wow! now that is some beautiful poetry right there! almost produced catharsis. i look at it more like that classic reese's commercial:
subject1: "you put peanut butter in my chocolate!"
subject2: "you put chocolate in my peanut butter!"
...
<reflect>
...
together: "hey these go great together!"
<rejoice>
