The Gabber Elders - Compilation


Even your gabber heroes from the 90s get old.
They become dads, moms, uncles, grandpas, inmates, wine&cheese enthusiasts, snake-oil vendors, crooks, or corrupted Fortune 500 CEOs.
Like everyone of us.
Eventually, they'll start to watch re-runs of Matlock, Eurovision, and Golden Girls on TV.

But this does not mean they could no longer drop them distorted 909 gabba kicks like it's hot (or cool) !

Or teach all the youngins of today how noisy a hoover, mentasm, or synth sound can get.

The Gabber Elders are four individual persons from all other the world (USA, Bathgate, Germany and the Netherlands).
They were DJs, producers, promoters, or the weirdo standing in the corner of the record shop.
They did legendary, or less legendary stuff during the hardcore techno hey days of the 90s and a few years later too.
Now each of them is 300-400 years old.

They may look more wrinkly and with less hair now, or look like something the cat dragged in.
Their i-sight might no longer be as good, and they might need to use hearing aids to tell a mokum record apart from a rave records one.

They mgiht start to miss the lettrs on the kbyoard while their typing a txet.

But this does not mean they could no longer drop them distorted 909 gabba kicks like it's hot (or cool) !

So here is a compilation with 7 tracks by all 4 of them.

Maybe these justified & elderly gabber merlins can still teach you a lesson or two!

The style of the compilation on here covers (almost) the whole hardcore spectrum, from slower doomcore and acidcore to gabber and all-out speedcore.
The Gabber Elders consist of:

GabberGirl
Nikaj
DJ Asylum
Low Entropy

Doomed Techno Mix

 
Doomcore Records Pod Cast #102 - The Ancients of Pluto - Doomed Techno Mix

The Ancients of Pluto just had their premiere release on the Doomcore Records sub-label Omnicore Records.
And now, they are here, on the Doomcore Record Pod Cast, with their doomed Techno mix.
And yeah, the name says it all. Very spooky and enigmatic vibes. For the dancefloor, or for home listening. Or for listening inside the underworld.

Judging by the tracklist, the focus is more on obscure and lesser known tracks.
Fitting the theme!

2. Epoch 90 - Last Night Of The World (Last Zoop - Zoop)
3. X 101 - Rave New World

Holmur


Holmur first appeared on Omnicore Records in 2023. The release was a spooky-scary audio tale. The story reminded me a bit of John Carpenter's The Thing - it took place in the northernmost cold, and via "logbog" entries we heard about some kind of alien or otherwise infestation.
This new "tale" does not take place underneath the northern lights. Instead it is ominously called "Grandview Family Insurance".
The story is a bit ambiguous this time.

Is there something sinister going on at the company? Maybe otherworldly forces at work?
Is it about some kind of dark / occult family?
The name "Grandview..." also reminds me of the "Overlook" hotel in King/Kubrick's The Shining... so maybe it is a bit left to the viewers to decide what is really happening... pardon, i mean, to *the listeners*!

oh, and what about the sound itself? dark ambient, horror drones, strange sounds... something for your hellbound heart!

Looking back at 30 years of producing hardcore and techno music - my message to newcomers

So, this year it's been 30 years already that I became entangled in the "dangerous" electronic underground of gabba, speedcore, hard acid, and so on...
actually feels just like yesterday - weird!
I achieved some kind of "liminal fame" that way. I don't get invited to talk shows, my face is not the cover of life magazine... but I know that literally millions of people heard my music at one point in their life, and likely the same amount has spilled their sweat (or blood) on the undercover hardcore dancefloors at one point or the other...
it's weird, even when i go to a forum specifically dedicated to hardcore electronics, the reaction usually is *either* "low entropy, you are a legend!" *or* "who the fudge is that person? i never heard of them in my entire life! when did they start producing again?". it's never inbetween.

but that's not what i want to talk about. the question is: was it worth it? all the years of sweat and hardships, just to feed an addiction to hardcore beats and dark, disturbing electronic sounds?

a lot of artists (in other genres, too), when they look back, either feed their ego, like: "i wanted to proof i am the biggest musical genius ever!" (hello, john lennon!) or they underplay it: "who cares if i have achieved something or not, the important thing was, we all had a lot of funs".


but there is something i never heard getting mentioned by an artist, and it is something peculiar.
i think it has to do with motivation and inspiration...

when i was a kid, teen, young adult, the time before i got "known" as an artist, i loved to watch scifi and action movies on TV, i watched clips and music performances on music television, i watched strange & obscure programs, like a lot of us did.

and i always felt like there was a world *behind* the screen, that seemed to be so much more exciting than the "real world" i was living in. it is very hard to explain what i mean, but i think a lot of people feel the same thing.
you know, we got the regular world, with schools, and jobs, and fast food joints, and annoying neighbors, and stuff like that. maybe life is good, or it is bad, for those people that live in this world. but even if it's good, it's still hella boring, dry and dull. it lacks adventure, mystery, magic.

and the world i saw on tv, that i heard on music, that i read about in magazines, felt like it was *full* of magic and excitement and adventures.
like everything was possible there. while *nothing* seemed possible in my real life.

and i always wanted to get to that place, even if it felt like an illusion to others.
and by that i do not mean that i wanted to become a literal gangster like in the action movies i watched, or that i wanted to become a real rockstar like on the MTV.

i just wanted to feel that special sensation, that strange magic, that i felt in my favorite media, movies, records, tracks... in my own life, too.

and i think i managed to just do that, and get to that place. and this made it worth it.

and this is my "message" to the young, or rather, to the newcomers of all ages, or rather, to those that are still stuck in "boring-world".
because i do not think it is very hard to do this, to achieve this.


just gotta have faith and do the leap.
and when you deeply think reality is too dry, too boring, too depressive, and that something else should be possible.
then, please trust in your own judgment. go out on an adventure!
