Chris Samojlenko, better known as Anabolic Frolic and Chris Frolic, is a happy hardcore DJ from Canada who is known for the Happy 2b Hardcore CD series and the Hullabaloo! promotion he threw in Toronto, Ontario.
Samojlenko was born in Ottawa, Canada in 1974 and was raised by his grandmother. He first started being interested in Happy Hardcore upon listening to a randomly chosen UK import mixed tape at the now defunct rave shop X-static in 1995. He taught himself to DJ on a pair of used turntables bought from a pawnshop for $100. It was the only way he could listen to the music he loved in Toronto (or anywhere in North America then), mainly because he didn't go to raves at the time. Frolic began importing and re-selling Happy Hardcore vinyl from the UK.
At age 21, Samojlenko became interested in it as a lifestyle. He started Nokturnal Records out of his bedroom, importing and selling vinyl records online. In 1996, he moved into a small, windowless office, sleeping on the floor for the next two years while trying to make a go of his DJ career and his events production company, Hullabaloo!.
Time goes by
No change in sight
I’m watching you
Watching me
So you wanna know
What you’ve been sold
Got your number
I got the receipt
The hope they’re told
And the hope grows old
Stand up for their rights
For equality in our community
Stand up
make noise tonight
So equal rights
Whether black or white
But why should it end right there
For those with aids
Let’s have our say
And show them that we care
Head held high
Gonna win this fight
Brush the shame to the floor
Stigmatised
It ain’t right
respectful haters
there’s the door woah
Hullabaloo
That’s we do
A sound of support
That you won’t forget
Hullabaloo
We make it for you
Dispel the taboo
Making you regret
Shame gets old
And our hearts grow cold
please don’t let time go by
Help that we send
Shows them a friend
In the cold, in the dark
Giving light
Everyday
It’s underway
Stand up and unite
For a change in our minds
For a change in the times
shout it out loud scream proud woah
(Underneath main vocals)
We gonna shout, we gonna cry, we gonna show our love
tonight
We gonna scream, we gonna fight, we won’t let these
