Feel free to flame me, but I still reckon gabber is a lot more tuneful than new skool hardcore...

This chimes with my recent experience at a club night where Dj Producer did an 8 hr set, starting with earlier stuff and finishing with 'future hardcore'. I was really looking forward to the end but actually found it a bit meh and characterised by hardstyle type kicks...

mainstream hardcore is really bad these days, but that wasn't always the case - some of the tracks that used to get played in the main arena at huge raves were and still are amazing (DJ Promo, Catscan, Armageddon Project etc...)
gabber is quite broad genre so the crossbones party will cater for a lot of tastes - early rave bangers from Rotterdam Records (92-94), morbid PCP doomcore, Thunderdome style 95-97 gabber through to classic speedcore and terror (96-99) like Kotzaak, DOA, Nasenbluten...

Errr, not so sure about this (yet)...& I'm sure DJ Scorpio etc would have something to say about it being new/fresh.

Haa we supported Skat Injector in a room above a pub in croydon, in like 2008. There were about 10 people there. They were totally great. Think ive still got their cdr somewhere

I think the entire scene is composed of about 5 people globally.

Doomedcore!

Well I'm a dabbler really but there are different styles (and there are also people out there who will have arguments about whether speedcore/doomcore/gabber are the same thing...).

If I was to pick a couple I like:





As for ones I don't like - I don't like the ones that have that sort of 'boink' drum sound on them but I can't bring any good examples to mind!

It's music for mixes though really rather than individual tunes. Someone like DJ Producer would be a good start (again someone will probably say he's not gabber but meh). I'd also really recommend some of the early DJ/Rupture mixes for examples of how it can be worked into other styles - Minesweeper Suite is a classic IMO which touches on it for a few tunes.

that Mescalinium Utd is ridiculous for 1991, productions amazing - sounds like a Daz Saund / Trevor Rockcliffe / Trade 8am ish special from the time

(too slow to constitute Gabba though maybe, even for then ? )

 

[cantsin]

I do remember some weird gabba dudes I knew, they made some banging tunes, but they were called "Shitspitters" so I'm gonna let someone else Google that

" Fuck Your Face" - classic, romping towards art-noise

 

[dtb]

love that ShitSpitter track, the best on Crapshoot imo.
Once again, if you like classic style gabber then check out this event:

Yes yes this night was banging again. What is good about gabba nights is it is 100% no poseurs, if you are there then you are properly into the music, so there is a real old school rave atmosphere.

I swear the Michelson sisters are unsung heroines of 90s techno.

 

[ManchesterBeth]

still have a soft spot for this mainstream gabba tune tbh.

 

[ManchesterBeth]

oops:

 

[FridgeMagnet]

It probably says something about modern capitalism that before I had a job I listened to loads of gabber and had all the Industrial Strength compilations and so on, and now twenty years later I listen to minimal ambient and tracks designed to be played as background music in Muji in case I get too stimulated and murder someone in the office.
