    I find that gabber, hardstyle / hardcore is utter ****e to be honest. The first ever gabber tune, We Have Arrived by Mescalinum United is an absolute classic (I love it) but from what I can see it turned **** not long after.

    This guy was a fairly well respected producer of Dutch gabber in the mid 90s and this tune was released only 4 years after We Have Arrived, yet listen to how ****e this is



    How bad is that?

    _______________________

    Hopefully some of the older heads on here could point me in the direction of good gabber as I prefer harder electronic music but to be honest, I havent looked beyond a few dozen embarrasingly bad videos on youtube....

    Those Thunderdome compilations were always a joke though in fairness... It's like telling someone Theo Parrish is ****e because of Hed Kandi.



    Always really liked the Australian take on things :









    On a Dutch tip (early!) Mokum was always the label the heads checked for.



    Lenny Dee was a god among men as well, ruling the roost from Brooklyn New York. He slept in my bed once, true story! (no, I wasn't in it)



    And a newer one :



    Can't talk about teh modern stuff without mentioning Hellfish and The DJ Producer



    ^ note the drumbreak sampled off "Metropolis" by Adam F at around 1.40 in!



    Can't beat a bit of speedcore either:



    Anyway, as for the future of the genre, the only stuff I still seek out to listen to is the new school stuff, flashcore is the way forward imo, 400bpm+ FTW



    Tracks :

    Komprex - Refuse Bad Speedcore.
    Komprex feat. Frazzbass - Terror Worldwide.
    La Peste - Il Etait ... ''Magnetique'' Une Possibilite.
    La Peste - Urgence Détergence Autrui.
    Neurocore - Mystification Des Astres.
    Korrigan - J. Bottlegrin.
    Venetian Snares - I'm A ****ing Idiot.
    No Name - Esprit.
    Element Abuse - Nothing To Fear Nothing To Doubt.
    Atomhead - SFV 2.0.
    Sampler Sick - Folie anticonformiste.
    La Peste - Alors le doute s'immiscea.
    La Peste - 1998 ?
    Lawrencium - Crash En Sol Majeur.
    La Peste - Alaoui J'Ecoute Ton Horloge De Sueur.
    Lawrencium - Massacre___Destruction.
    Lawrencium - Proton.
    Ravision - Sad Mellow.
    Darkfreak - Ecstasy.
    Angerfist - Yes.
    Darkfreak - EKG.

    I have this one on CD since 1994,

    That one :rolleyes: is good i can say but cant vouch for everything that was released under that name after this one but here they all are anyway,

    wow, all this stuff brings me back to my younger days when I was listening to the likes of Thunderdome whilst cycling to school, I'd say I could have given Lance Armstrong a run for his money given the speeds I was doing on my bike, however my only drug was the Angel of Death pumping through my veins :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,700 ✭✭✭ThirdMan


    There was something slightly appealing about this when I was 15-16. But honestly, I don't know how people listen to this music. But listen to it they do. And more power to them.

    gabba



    Gabber - never gabba.

    "Gabber" is very old Amsterdam-Yiddish slang, it would be the equivalent of "homeboy" or "homie". The music got it's name from the way that the kids coming in to buy the first wave of the harder records that came out would always call the guy behind the counter their "gabber" when asking for tunes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,618 ✭✭✭milltown


    ... yet listen to how ****e this is
    ....

    I can't.
    I tried but I couldn't take more than 15 - 20 seconds of it.

    To dismiss all hardcore as ****e is crazy, there are so many variations encompassed in the genre, from mainstream/aggressive/dark/ambient/doom etc... And every genre has a few suspect producers who produce actual ****e.

    The "We have arrived" (didn't aphex twin remix that at one stage?) was good and brought in a new sound and feeling into electronic music but it certainly doesn't define the genre as a whole.

    Quoted for truth.

    That tune with the Linkin Park samples in your original post did you very few favours though

    :pac:

    A bit mainstream maybe but surely people don't think that one particular track defines the whole genre in a nutshell???:D

    If i started off with 300 bpm speedcore I'd be shot down. How do I embed vids on this site? (click utube button and copy paste in between tags doesn't work)

    There was a bit about it on Danny Dyers Real Football Factories, they interviewed DJ Paul Elstak and showed a rave with all Rotterdam hooligans. Elstak was threatend by Ajax hooligans when they found out he was sheduled to play in Amsterdam.

    been listening to alot of stuff over the last year or so, not sure what it would be classed as, the likes of beatport would class the tracks as hardcore, but not sh*te stuff, just very dark, heavy, industrial sounding, aggressive noise, stuff like 100blumen, P.A.L, basically anything on the ant-zen label, was looking at heading to a german festival this year called Mashinenfest http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xbx0aMit3Js, doesnt look like its on this year though. Was this below mix that got me listening to it really (the first 25 mins or so specifically), still not sure if this sort of stuff would be classed as hardcore, sounds more like really heavy industrial music i suppose, i prefer to use the term 'crazy mental sh!t' myself.

    Love this track, it's by Ophidian a producer who definately has his own style.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JdXqeQ0r6U

    When I first started getting into hardcore, I only liked the lighter stuff and found some of the sounds too harsh but over time I grew an appreciation for how well some of the tracks were produced.

    I actually enjoy the sound of gabber. I think it's due a revival in some capacity, in the same way 2-step garage was wrote off until Burial and the likes redefined it. Unexplored sound that maybe hasn't reached its full potential.
    At the moment I think the likes of Gabba Front Berlin are doing something a bit more interesting.
    Also the Gabba/Gabber argument earlier in this thread... illiteracy? Get a fúcking grip.

    Thanks for the info......never knew (or took much notice) that there was a difference......i thought it was Gabba & it got transformed to Gabber as a kind of pre suffix to replace 'Amster' or 'Rotter' to make 'Gabberdam' in a tribute kind of way to the cities where it was born.

    Hardcore/gabber has a massive following it's just underground and will never get any real exposure in ireland like house/trance/hard dance etc..

    Hardcore is the business, 2fm should put on a small 45 min hard show early sunday morning. The 50 people in ireland who listen to hardcore would be very happy, haha.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 513 ✭✭✭gavkm27


    The term Gabber was used in the 90's when dutch hardcore people used to call themselves Gabber,it is actually Dutch for Buddy and people still use it today for that.

    Since alot of folk who dont know think Hardcore has something to do with metal,people can use Hardcore Techno or Gabber to describe it.
    Also people think of UK Happy Hardcore which is consider ****e by the majority of people into Hardcore

    But to anyone within the scene it's Hardcore and it's many sub generes - Mainstream,Industrial,Speedcore,Terror,Uk Style,Breakcore and many others

    It used to be just a dutch style but in the last 10 years the Italian have been challenging the trone,especially in the mainstream style,most noteably Dj D,he emcopasses the mainstream style,heavy on hip hop smaples standard hard kick and trance like melody.

    Whereas Industrial Hardcore has really taken off in last few years,i attended Thunderdome XV in 2007 and the main arena was dedicated to Future sounds with the likes of Unexist,The Outside Agency and The Dj Producer head lining.

    Here is classic new style Industrial track from The Outside Agency


    There are very few people in Ireland into hardcore and Hardstyle and Techno are different generes altogether.

    Thats my take on it anyway,still love it,Hardcore will never die you pussy mutha****erzzzz

    Nice little bit of info there ha :) ah it would seriously be class if could get some kinda decent hardcore scene going in Ireland even trying to get a night going somewhere is hard seeing as the ****ing snobbery towards this type of music is bollox *You like hardcore your a knacker with no taste* :pac:

    There is a bit of a scene up north,they are defo way more into it,but as for Dublin forget it,Endymion and Lenny Dee played in Belfast recently

    Seriously though,all my knacker friends are'nt into it,they prefer Hardstyle and Uk Happy Hardcore.It's kinda weird how there is no real scene at all in Ireland.But it's small place,we did try years ago to get something going in Galway but it did'nt work

    Ya the UK stuff is popular with teens and u can see why :p mostly watered down rubbish.

    Although saying that some of it aint the worst i have heard of raves happening up north and Masters of hardcore were in the UK before Scotland i think it was.

    I have showed a fair few of me mates who are into the electronic music scene and who dj and set up nights in Dublin and its kinda 50/50 for them.
    They can stick some of it for awhile but as soon as i turn the harder stuff on they lose interest :P

    Im not trying to rise anyone but that's toxic stuff.... Surely there's some really good gabber that people can post? This stuff with ****ty synths running through it is just cringeworthy and I cant even last 10 seconds listening to it.

    I think ill stick to the 'schranz / hardtechno' side of things...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,373 ✭✭✭Executive Steve


    Flashcore is where it's at though
    Flashcore is an avant-garde electronic style characterized by complex transcompositional rhythmic structures and extratone beat sequences (often exceeding 1000 bpm) combined with harsh, densely textured "acousmatic" and "hyperdelic" digital soundscapes. These aspects, among others (such as favouring new sounds over drum emulation in order to create beats), render Flashcore undanceable and highly distinct among the genres it grew out of, such as Breakcore, Speedcore, and the overall DJ culture. As stated by La Peste in the "Flashcore Manifesto", the aim of Flashcore is to act directly on the brain by utilizing new audio software technologies to control and manipulate sonic particles at the atomic level, creating fractal-like layers of abstract "nano-audio explosions" that are said to induce transcendent states and other psychological responses in the listener. These states have been compared to the meditative nature of Dubstep and the effects of hallucinogenic drugs. Flashcore's main proponents include the aforementioned La Peste, UndaCova/Atomhead, Sedarka, Neurocore and Kaebin Yield. Many Flashcore artists profess an affinity for Modern Classical composition techniques, an influence that is evident in their technical sound designs, use of acousmatic decomposition, timbre experimentation, and conceptual physical/mental approach.


    Trying to find a link to the Flashcore Manifesto - basically a repudiation of all the manipulative druggy predictability of 99.9% of every that Speedcore etc turned into.

    Here it is - required reading, especially for you Mr Cairns.

    Like all music worth listening to, it takes a while before you catch on to labels and artists that produce what you like.

    Fully agree - Gabber was ruined when hardstyle came along and the likes of Angerfist went all synthy.

    Sounds good to me i liked it.

    Music scenes change over time and develope into different things im not mad about alot new hardcore as its gone to mainstream almost prefer people not knowing much bout it. Keeps the wannabes from ruining it.

    Stormtrooper was in Waterford back in February. Twas some session. A few heads around into it. Most people when they hear for the first time don't know what to think but after a good few kicks have dropped in and out they get.



    Mad had no idea about this !!

    If anyone is in Dublin there's these Czech lads called the Springfield crew who do a regular hard techno / hardcore / frenchcore / hard dnb night every month in Murray's on O'Connell street.

    Think the next one is tomorrow night:

    Fully agree - Gabber was ruined when hardstyle came along and the likes of Angerfist went all synthy.

    It's called Hardcore and it actually exploded more and more in the early 2000
    s,it was considered dead in the late 90's now there are multiple 30,000 plus raves everywhere in Holland catering for all styles of hardcore,so infact your opinion of it has changed but the scene has thrived thats all.

    Ya im into Mainstream,maybe becuase i'm a knacker at heart but if you want to talk about real hardcore and stop mentioning the words hardstyle/techno/gabber then you want to talk about the broad genre of Industrial Hardcore,here are some examples-













    All different sounds,some almost breakcore like,ambient,dark,atmospheric,mystical-Industrial Hardcore
