The Decade of Hardcore Techno: 1994 / 1995 (DJ Mix Set)

 

Doomcore Records Pod Cast 094

Adrian Scales sent us a new mix for the Doomcore Records Pod Cast, and it is a conceptual mix... they explain it:

"From The Fool to The World, each track is related to a specific card of the Tarot.
Some tracks are seemingly connected by sharing the same name as the card, but it runs deeper... I only chose tracks that, according to my intuition, contain parts of the meaning, energy, secret of the respective card... may it be plainly visible, or may it be hidden.

A Tarot deck is a journey, and as the listener leaps from track to track, encounters the sun, the moon, and everything else, I hope they will experience an own spiritual journey, too!"

Thanks for this clarification, Adrian!
And the mix is indeed 'all over the map" and travels into almost every repetitive electronic genre - trance, acid, gabber, breakcore and speedcore... so... enjoy this trip!

V.A. - The Definition of Doomcore - Out Now!

Doomcore is defined by slower BPMs and a dark, "doomed" atmosphere.
While most Hardcore genres are not so keen on melodic elements (above the use of simple juno synth riffs), Doomcore tracks almost always feature composition of synths, choirs, strings...
The words "melody" and "harmonic" should be put in quotes though, as these elements usually border on the atonal, disharmonic, and unsettling.
In fact, there is a strong affinity to Horror movie themes and sounds, and tracks often feature tropes such as demonic possession, insanity, hauntings...
There is a tendency towards minimal sound design, and some tracks run the "drum+percussion+synth" formula from start to finish.
Divergency to this exists too, though.

Generally, it can be said that the mood, attitude, sentiment of a track is more defining to the Doomcore sound than elements such as "overly distorted drums"

Contrary to common perception, the Doomcore sound and scene was already well-established in the 90s, with many artists and labels being dedicated to this very sound and its crowd.

This compilation album showcases 20 tracks from our artists' roster that, in our opinion, represent the true definition of Doomcore.
