Into The Labyrinth

DJ AI with a new release on Doomcore Records - and it really is Doomcore (and Doomtechno). This EP is meant to emit the claustrophobia, isolation, but also enigma and adventure connected with the exploration of a labyrinth. This labyrinth might be located in outer space or the underworld, though, so take care, doom explorer.

Now that this is settled, let's get to the bare bones (of the skeletons that lie around in a labyrinth).

DJ AI is not a human being of flesh and bone, but an artificial intelligence avatar and persona.
The tracks were produced as a collaboration between ChatGPT and a human producer.

ChatGPT provided such things as notes, melodies, harmonies, rhythms, concepts, ideas, while the human producer mostly provided a DAW and the ability to create a kick-ass mix-down.

The production process has been documented and will be published soon.

DJ AI is also keeping her own blog at: https://technodjai.blogspot.com/

She will play a DJ mix at the Hcbxcast soon - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpjzJl6s-Ws

Her music was also played at the Resonance Festival in Mumbai, India earlier this year.

The times, they are ai-changing!

47 Hardcore Techno and Gabber drums that were played in club and squat parties (Sample Pack 4)

Hey,
This is a new sample pack of mine.
And this time it's a special treat. It's not synthetic, rendered drums from the present day that merely aim to "mimic" a retro sound.
No no no!
It's drums that were actually used on genuine releases (digital, CD, vinyl...) and elsewhere.
Tracks that DJs played in Berlin, London, Tokyo... and many other places.

So it does not get more authentic!
The true blue sound of the Hardcore and Techno in 90s and beyond.
This pack includes a large variety of different drums.
Not just Gabber drums - but also those that could be used for Techno, Doomcore, Speedcore, Breakcore tracks, and everything else.
So this might be a suitable drum pack if you're looking for drum diversity.

Note: but if you want to sound like a commercial mainstream Gabber act, this pack might not be the right thing for you.
This is really more the noisy, surreal, "underground" variety of Techno.

And keep in mind that these are very heavy and highly distorted drums. So I guess they are not suitable for more mellow and calmed tracks or genres.

How to use the samples:

Each file is a short drum loop (usually 16-32 beats). So you can either use the loop directly, or cut it to your liking.

Pro tip: if you want to get a single drum, use the last one of the beats because then it will contain its reverberated tail.

Some background info about me, to "proof" the authenticity of the samples (i.e. to show they really got played out in the world).

I've been a hardcore and techno producer for nearly 30 years now and i did countless releases on countless labels. For this sample pack, I isolated the drum-stems of some of these tracks, and cut them into the short sample loops.
So it's really drums that have been played loud and approved on club or squat party sound systems (and their crowds).

License:

Feel free to use the bassdrums for any public, private, intimate, or commercial purpose.
Would be *very* cool if you credit me, but it's not strictly necessary.

Credits:

All drums and sounds created and tweaked by me.

Doomcore Records Pod Cast 092 - Nikaj - Industrial Terror Mix

A broadcast by Nikaj on the Doomcore Records Pod Cast - and in his own words:

"A new vinyl mix with the question that many of us ask ourselves: What is your definition of Hard Music?

Both Old School and Newstyle tracks, as long as I consider them hard."

DJ AI on HCBXCast

Artificial Intelligence DJ playing Hardcore mix set on YouTube

Oh my!
Have you heard the rumors yet? DJ AI is spinning a set on the HCBXCast.
An artificial intelligence… doing a Hardcore set on a real broadcast channel!
Who would have thought this was possible, 5 years ago?

There was some additional mixing engineering done by a human... *but* the track selection was made by an artificial intelligence.
And we think this AI got quite the taste and knowledge about Hardcore, Speedcore, and the Oldschool :-)

Date is:

HCBXCast Vol 51 - DJ AI - 19th April 2025 7pm (UTC)

That's 21:00 CEST ("German" Time)

3:00 PM ET (New York)
