The Decade of Hardcore Techno: 1997 (DJ Mix Set)


A recent survey showed that amongst the period of the 1990s, a lot of people agreed that 1997 was the best year of Hardcore. Why was this that way? I think one of the main reasons was that it was one of the last years where there was still a coherent single Hardcore scene - people who listened to Digital Hardcore just as Speedcore, Acidcore and Gabber and so on, and these "varied" sounds were still played on one floor or at one party night. Later Hardcore broke up in so many small scenes of its own. But apart of that, 1997 was defined by the many outstanding and classic releases of that year - a meager selection of which is in this mix to enjoy.
This is a multi-genre mix from Doomtechno to Breakcore and Speedcore. Were you there in 1997?
