The Gabber Elders - Compilation
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
Read more about them at http://thegabberelders.com
And now shut up and sit down while you are talking to a grown-up, you annoying kid. and get off my lawn!

Holmur
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!

Orion Transfer Poster
The original orion transfer art in high resolution.
If you create a poster out of one of our releases, use this one.
I am a Techno producer, and I wanted to create a 1 hour long Hardcore track for ~30 years. This year, I finally managed to do it!
I started producing during the gabber hype of 1995 / 1996 (think thunderdome, mokum...). I was into the more experimental or underground stuff (like industrial strength or agent orange records).
I especially liked "oversize" tracks and productions (also in other genres like trance, where there were some 9+ minute stuff sometimes.(like jam and spoons' "age of love").
I liked to draft my tracks and production beforehand, so I came up with this concept: making a hardcore track that runs for 60 minutes or longer.
There were other producers (especially in acid / acidcore related styles) that created longer tracks by being "monotonous". Just letting the drums and basslines drone in for minutes. (like brixton or drop bass network did)
But I did not want to do it that way. I wanted a track with lots of changes and twists. Like a regular techno track. Just longer.
When I listened to some tracks from the dangerous "female french hardcore techno underground", I had an idea. (stuff like the michelson sisters, or anticore records).
These producers often used very long intros, and also had frequent changes in speed. And distortion!
I decided to segment my full size track.
So I made this draft:
60 minute, but the first quarter hour is almost calm, with a long ambient part.
Then there is slow, dark hardcore and techno stuff for the next quarter hour.
then a part with regular and faster gabber speed.
and finally, all-out speedcore and noise towards the end.
a steady build up, over 1 hour long.
Now the "twist": to not arrive with something that feels (or sounds) like i just connected 4 "single" tracks.
each segment should be interconnected to all others, especially in the use of sounds, melodies, and so on.
draft finished!
and then, back in 1998, i realized: "uhm...."
this was *way* too ambitious for my producer 'skills'. more loaded and complex than anything i could stem...
i got back to shorter tracks (well, averaging on 7 minutes still) and found lots of success that way (yeaaah ;-).
i never forgot this project, though. i always tried to think of ways i could produce this mammoth of a track! and i learned new tricks..
then, back in 2023, i did a release for speedcore worldwide records. i managed to pull off a 24+ speedcore composition, that i thought, sounded quite okay. (called "angel's speedcore").
now i realized... the "titan track" project was suddenly on the horizon again... maybe... just maybe... i could do that jump?
going from 24 minutes tracks to 60+ minutes is a whole different thing, though.
so, this year, i was sitting on my balcony, with my laptop in the night, and suddenly thought: "ah, well, fudge it, if not now, it will never be".
and i finally pulled off my 1 hour track!
i think this has turned out quite good too.
was much less complicated than i thought.
I guess i could have produced it back in 1997 already, too.
If i just had the courage to try.... if i just had tried...
here is the final track: https://doomcorerecords.bandcamp.com/album/orion-transfer
but the finished track is almost exactly like i drafted it ~30 years ago.
there is an ambient / "soft" intro part that runs for a bit over 10 minutes. (with little use of beats, btw!)
then one part slow hardcore, one part harder and faster stuff, then one part really fast for the last 10 minute. the only change in structure is that there is an additional 16 minutes were everything winds downs again, gets more soft and slow.
also the "style" has changed a bit during the decades. i used less elements of breakcore, sampled-based speedcore etc. i even included influences of more "mellow" styles like goa, electro or acid-trance.
i think it might only party be considered to be a "hardcore" track by now.
also, the tracks themselves, are more complex than i originally intended.
what stayed the same is the idea of using recurring elements. there is one main motif that slides in and out, during the entire track.
and lots of sounds in the earlier parts resemble those in later parts etc.
in my opinion, the track sounds like i intended it. not sure if i can do a project as big as this one again, anytime soon, though!

30 years on gabber
oh my! i can't believe it has been 30 years already.
but back in the mid 90s, i discovered the sound of gabber.... hardcore... techno... the whole rave thing.
and was immediately hooked in the distorted beats, the low bass frequencies, the power & "friendly" aggression of the sound... the vibe.. the movement!
i jumped from the more "mellow" thunderdome stuff to more underground stuff like mokum or ruffneck... jumped from there to industrial strength, shockwave recordings... and finally get entangled in the whole spectrum... fischkopf... digital hardcore recordings... epiteth... drop bass network...
and fell in love with it! a love that lasts to this day, and will probably exist in 3,000 years too... because ya know what they say.. hardcore will never ever die!
i quickly decided that i needed to became a producr, dj, author, promoter etc, too, and the rest is history.
i don't really like bragging on ego stuff, but here are what some might consider to be laurels:
i produced over 3000 tracks in 30 years.
played all over the place... tresor, nordcore, the hague, the ****parade (hello, technoviking!)
my waves got picked up by most of the major music magazines and publications....
i ran a real radio show, started 3 labels, started a zine with articles that have been read 5 million times... ah well. i need to stop now!
but the thing that makes me happy the most is to see that - after so many "dry years" - the whole gabber thing has become a major part of worldwide music culture once more!
so, this is a little "look back in time", with some of the tunes i wrote in these years.
maybe someone out there... can still dig it?
because... ya know... what they say.. hardcore will never ever die!

Cyberspace Dreams from a Surreal Future (Visual short movie created by ChatGPT & Leonardo.Ai)
Hello friends,
This is a short movie I created using ChatGPT and Leonardo.ai.
My workflow was this:
I created still images with ChatGPT, Leonardo.Ai, and also modified a few of the Leonardo.Ai generated images with ChatGPT.
Then I animated all these images with the help of Leonardo.Ai's various motion and video features.
Put some electronic music to it.
And here is the result!
The concept behind the video is to have a kind of "feverish" dream, or vision, about cyberspace and future places in space.
So there is no real narrative or storyline, just the flow of images, that follows the logic and patterns of dreams.
My inspiration were old SciFi illustrations (for example in paper books by William Gibson and Asimov), oldschool anime, 16 bit era video games. And general sci fi stuff.
Hope this video is something that is enjoyable :-)
Credits:
Short Movie: "Cyberspace dreams of a surreal future"
Visuals created by: ChatGPT & Leonardo.Ai
With heavy use of Leonardo's motion features.

55 nasty gabber and techno kicks (sample pack)
you might know some of my other sample packs.
and here i am back with a new one.
for the last packs, i tried to go very experimental, to create some wholly new, different, experimental kicks.
almost turning it into a challenge of science and maths... (the science of kickdrums? hah!)
but now i thought, hmm, maybe i lost track a bit.
why not do a pack with "plain" kicks.
that are instantly useful for new (or old) producers of hardcore, techno, and gabber music.
so that's what it is.
a bunch of kicks that just straight away try to be hard (or slick).
and that aim to fit production needs, and are varied in that regard.
so some are bass heavy, some are mid heavy, some very distorted, some not so much...
hopefully the right mixture for most tracks and needs.
but of course I lost track during that project.
and ended up doing a lot of experimental, heavy, and heady kicks once more.
all of that is included in this pack.
oh and one more frigging thing:
some producers "complained" that the other packs were often reverb-heavy, and therefore hard to use in their own productions.
so, this time, all kicks are dry, and without reverberation and echo effects.
enjoy!

Original 90s Breakcore Breakbeats and Drums Sample Pack - Free Download
These are breakbeat sounds and drum patterns I used in my early Breakcore productions, 1996-1999.
These are not samples that try to "re-create" the sounds of the era, but bona fide sounds I used while producing Breakcore tracks in the mid 90s. I popped out the backups, and ripped them from my original MS-DOS Impulse Tracker modules, for this very sample pack.
These tracks later were released on vinyl, on Breakcore labels like Praxis, Widerstand, Suburban Trash, Blut...
I played them at tresor.berlin, at hardcore parades, in lots of squat and club parties...
So this is the real stuff, so to say.
Some of the beats are ultra-distorted, some not so distorted, some weird...
And as a bonus, I added some "Breakcore" type noise, FX, ambience sounds from my tracks to the pack, too!
Of course you don't need to use these sounds just for breakcore. They could also fit to gabba, industrial... pop, goth... whatever you want!
Enjoy!
Content:
109 samples
41 breakbeats
5 bass sounds
23 drum and percussion sounds
14 fx sounds
14 noise sounds
9 ambience sounds
3 synth sounds

License: Feel free to use these samples for any public, private, intimate, or commercial purpose.
Would be *very* cool if you credit me, but it's not strictly necessary.
Background info:
I helped to create and shape the Breakcore genre in the mid 90s, not just as a producer, but through various other activities (setting up parties, running zines, online forums, radio broadcasting to the citizens of hamburg... etc etc).
But left the scene ca 2001, when the Breakcore sound became pop/idm influenced. And later became a Techno / Doomcore producer.

Producer's Diary: When metal hits the drum
It's not super fast speedcore, it's slowcore. But I never got the bass drum as hard, as noisy, as distorted, like in this track.
It's almost painful to listen to it (to me).
I actually produced this one back in December 2013 already.
Apart from the drum, the track is quite simple: there are no other elements besides the bass drum.
The drum just gets put through various filters and effects... ...as the track moves on - which I did "live", jamming.
But this setup of effects and processing was quite complex and complicated, and "brainy", of course.

Producer's diary: writing the first Doomcore Records EP
I created the first EP for the new Doomcore Records label back in 2012.
.jpg)
When I conceived the EP, I already had posteriority in mind. Something that people - hopefully - could look back to after a few years (or longer).
The setting I came up with is a "classic" 2-tracker release. With a clearly distinct A and B side. Maybe even more like a single release!
The A track is doomcore-hardcore-techno in style.
The melody may sound jammed, improvised, or created by spontaneous creativity. But the truth is it was mathematically planned. The whole melodic system is one big formula. There is not one note that would be outside this mathematic equation.
The beat and percussion - these were improvised, though.
This track was later remixed by various artists for another release.
The A track was meant to be the main track.
The B side was the additional part.
It's a beatless "doom" ambient track.
Was this one mathematically planned, too?
Far from it!
What I did here was: I set up my soft synth. Created a synth sound that I liked.
Then I turned off my speakers, headphones, any sound.

And I started to jam. Just pressed notes, like it felt right to me.
I should add that I did not know how to "read" notes, i.e. I did not know how a D# or G would sound.
I also had the clear intention to neither change, edit, amend, or cut notes. Or to do another take.
I finished the track without listening to it once.
I just hoped it would turn out okay.
Opinions might differ - but i do think it sounds quite okay!

The Breakcore Breakfast Club Mix (Year 2000 edition)
Just had a random flashback. A journey down memory lane.
christoph fringeli, hecate, society suckers, gogo goddess, joel amaretto, me + / - a few other people, sitting in joel's living room, having breakfast, bread rolls with the salami that the society suckers "borrowed" out of the green room of the maria club the night before, on friday before the f**kparade party on saturday, in the year 2000.
we had also picked up nihil fist, frederik schikowski, dj scud, cdb, postcore and eiterherd the day and night before, but not sure if all of them stayed for breakfast.
hmm memories. i guess this moment was the "breakcore breakfast club" (okay bad pun).
(my adventures on that extended weekend were published in an issue of the datacide magazine - back then. i guess i posted it somewhere around here too, but i can also look it up - one day.)
but it is kinda weird to look back and realize, that, at one point in time, and inside one room, almost the entire early breakcore scene (this side of the atlantic) was having breakfast together.
Part 2
During that era, me and my friends felt like we would rule the world, and lived without a care in the world.
Just endless parties, fun, doing music, traveling to other cities, meeting friends... nights in cafés, fast food places, debating politics, setting up things, organizations... doing what we wanted, and enjoying it. To the fullest.
At the highest decibels.
We were so sure everyone would start to realize how great "our music" was, and surely we would change the world by this.
Those days in Berlin, and elsewhere seemed to never end.
But in truth we were just a small group, and this "community" disbanded soon enough, with some going for pop-breaks, others quitting altogether...
I moved on too, eventually. Into "doomy" acid, techno, and hardcore.
This "sound", this scene, late 90s, early 2000s, when breakcore was (undefined) and still tightly connected to avantgarde music, hardcore punk, gabber, industrial ambient, squat culture... disappeared, more or less.
It was a rude awakening.
But I guess others before us felt similar. Who put all hopes in a subcultural movement, and then "dreams" were hit by "reality".
Were we fools back then? Or could our music really take on the world - if things had run differently?
Well, to quote another song:
"It's not that you never believed... because you did.
Just not enough."
Here is a mix that tries to capture the sound of the era, with some of the artists mentioned above, and a few other things.
Low Entropy - The Breakcore Breakfast Club Mix (Year 2000 edition)

The Three Zeros
by Low Entropy
3 tracks, 12 minutes
1. Introduction 00:45
2. The Three Zeros 09:31
3. The Three Zeros (Reprise) 01:52
Information:
Here it is! My entry for the project nucleus. On the day of the fool.
Doomed acid hardcore techno. Designed for huge space cave raves.
Why the name - "The Three Zeros" ?
Well, when I was a kid, I realized: there must not be only one zero, in the world of numbers. There should be three different zero numbers: one positive zero, one "minus zero", and one neutral zero, that is neither positive nor negative. The three zeros.
So it must be the truth! Alright?
About project nucleus:
Hello,
Allow me to introduce my newest project for 2026: an album called "Nucleus".
It's not produced yet, and it won't be finished before 2027. In the most literal of senses!
Because I plan to produce one track for each month of 2026.
Then release it at the end of the year, or at the beginning of the next year.
Tracks could be in any style. Breakcore, Acid, VGM... eclectic?
But I will also try to produce it *for* the month, not *in* the month.
And absorb the... "vibe"... of each month and put it into la musica!
So January should be more wintry... March will be about the rites of spring... then Summertime, Fall, and the descend into the icy waters of winter again.
I also try to create a progression with the sequence of tracks... a sequential album... a staircase of sounds!
Hope it all works out as planned.
And see you in the year after 2026! (ahem)

How I started Doomcore Records
It's a bit of a weird story, and it actually started way back, when I read the books by Douglas Adams, in my early teenage days.
I tell this out of memory, so it might not be entirely correct. But in one of the "Dirk Gently" novels, Douglas Adams mentions a fictional author, and I assumed it was a take on Stephen King.
In the book, the author is successful. But not because of his work, but because his name fits well on the cover of a book. The last name is shorter, so it can be printed in large letters, and the surname can be put in smaller letters on top of it.
When I read this, I felt like someone had jolted my nervous system. This idea felt so alien, so bizarre. Even though it was a parody, it stuck with me.
Fast forward 20 years. I never used drugs in my life, trust me on that.
I remember the following moment like it was yesterday.
I was walking along the parking lot, next to my flat.
When suddenly, in my mind, the two words, in big white letters appeared: "Doomcore Records". And I knew this was perfect. On a semiotic level, on the level of letters, the alphabet... to me, there was an aesthetic, a geometry to these two words... it really clicked.
In all honesty, I could not care less that this was about Doomcore Techno as a genre.
I felt addicted to the aesthetic of these letters, of these two words, as a kind of sentence... and I knew I needed to start a label about this...
If another genre name had appeared before my eyes, the label would have been about that.
This is my story, it might sound weird, but it is true.

Doomcore Records laurels
The label turned 13 years a while ago, so let's look at some of its laurels.
Over 350 releases so far, together with its two subs.
That makes it the biggest Doomcore Label ever.
It also makes it one of the biggest Hardcore-related labels ever.
One of the biggest labels in Hamburg, Germany.
And one of the biggest DIY labels.
The label and it's releases have been reviewed, praised, or mentioned in most of the major music press publications around the world.
It's releases have been played in clubs, festivals, squat parties, and other gatherings, in countless countries, on all continents, with the - possible - exception of antarctica.
"Doomcore" refers to Doomcore Techno, not Doom Metal.
The label kickstarted quite a few music careers, or underground trajectories.
On the other hand, plenty of established "star" producers of the electronic subculture have released on Doomcore Records.
Doomcore Records spawned a whole new subgenre of music - "Slowcore Techno".
More interesting stuff that happened:
Doomcore Records released the first Doomcore artist in the Dominican Republic.
Also the first Doomcore EP out of China.
A release by a soldier in the Ukraine conflict. Produced close to the frontline. Expressing the nihilism of war and life.
The first Doomcore Techno release in support of LGBTQIA+ rights.
The first release by an Industrial Black Metal artist out of chile.
Tracks produced during the chaos of the first years after the collapse of the Eastern Bloc.
The first entirely "Female Fronted" Doomcore and Dark Techno album.
An album made up of tracks with a runtime of 30-60 minutes each.
Despite the name of the label, a lot of the releases are not strctly Doomcore. There is spoken word, speedcore, chiptune, techno... industrial...
The aim is at the entire range of electronic music.
The first releases had just the artist name and a number. Always the same artwork. No information, no promo, no pics, no marketing, nothing. Because obscurity is king.
Apart from the official vinyl releases, countless of dub-plates exist with the music of the label.
These were just a few of the facts attached to the label.
Stay tuned for more.

My music got mentioned in most major music magazines.
I ran a radio show here in Hamburg, Germany.
I run 3 labels.
I produced over 3000 tracks. These were released on vinyl, CD, cassette, digital, or elsewise.
I'm an author of several e-books on hardcore, culture and politics.
Etc etc
Like most Hardcore producers, I am addicted to bass drums!
And I hope to give something back to new or other producers with these sample packs.
A lot of these drums have been "party approved" and been played be me or other DJs at clubs or squat parties.
So:
Feel free to download these free sample packs, and create your own tracks.
Enjoy!
Mostly drum centered, mostly around techno-hardcore-gabber. But can be used for pop, vgm, industrial, goth, electro - whatever - too! and a few other sounds are there as well, acid, fx, synths, noises....
And here they are:
https://lowentropy.bandcamp.com/album/low-entropy-sample-pack-2-doomcore-gabber-and-speedcore-bassdrums
Try that one first. Includes distorted drums that fit to most Hardcore and Techno tracks. An "all-rounder" pack.
https://lowentropy.bandcamp.com/album/55-royalty-free-drums
Some very hard and rough drums, and also some more conventional ones for Hardcore productions.
https://lowentropy.bandcamp.com/album/160-royalty-free-unusual-drum-samples-for-producing-techno-hardcore-and-more
This one has more experimental, and ultra rough drums (but also softer ones).
For those that want to dry "different" drum sounds.
https://lowentropy.bandcamp.com/album/multi-genre-techno-hardcore-centered-free-sample-pack-drums-synths
This is a bit different. Contains drums, synths, percussion and the rest, for 9 different genres. You can create a whole track just using these patches!
https://lowentropy.bandcamp.com/album/101-royalty-free-909-related-drum-samples
Some fresh samples, for those that like the 909 sound.
https://lowentropy.bandcamp.com/album/low-entropy-sample-pack
This is more loop centered. Also has synths and basslines (and percussion).
https://lowentropy.bandcamp.com/album/123-hardcore-techno-and-gabber-drums-that-were-used-in-the-90s-sample-pack-3
Drums I created in the 90s, used in my tracks. Not just plain 909s but also different sounds.
https://lowentropy.bandcamp.com/album/47-hardcore-techno-and-gabber-drums-that-were-played-in-club-and-squat-parties-sample-pack-4
Drums taken from various tracks I did. Some nasty ones inside!
https://lowentropy.bandcamp.com/album/121-royalty-free-909-related-drum-samples-for-producing-techno-hardcore-and-more
Experimental, and ultra distorted!
https://lowentropy.bandcamp.com/album/original-90s-breakcore-drums-sample-pack
Breaks, noizes, drums, that I actually used in breakcore productions in the 90s.
License: Feel free to use these samples for any public, private, intimate, or commercial purpose.
Would be *very* cool if you credit me, but it's not strictly necessary.
Background:
I'm a hardcore techno and electronic music producer since 1996.
Played at tresor.berlin and plenty of other places, in front of 1000s of people.
My music got mentioned in most major music magazines.
I ran a radio show here in Hamburg, Germany.

Mix @ RTDF Rave Radio
It's one with my "mellow 2 hardcore" concept that I am so very fond of.
It does not start *that* mellow. But get's harder.
It's about mid 80s to early 90s sound. Focus on New York club scene.
So it starts with no wave dance, ebm, detroit... and we move into acid, techno, new york hardcore.
Enjoy!
Tracklist:
- Wargames - Defcon One scene
- Amnesia - Hysteria
- Micro Chip League - New York
- Frankie Bones - We call it Techno
- Interactive - The Techno Wave

Remix Comp Part 2
If not, there is still time to get involved - deadline is the 20.03.2026
Read all about it here:
The Hardcore Techno Overdogs Anthem Remix Competition - Part 2!
The Nucleus Project: March
The one for February was a behemoth, with a runtime of around an hour.
Compared with that, this one's quite the quickie.
It's title is space s*x, sonic style is somewhere between oldschool hardcore, acidcore, speedcore.
I guess it's just the right track to get your rocks off. The third rock from the sun, that is.

Cold Rush Mix
Hello Folks,
I am happy to announce that Pixeldada added very vivid visuals to a mix of mine.
The mix is actually an oldie already. It's a tribute set to Cold Rush Records and - can you guess it - I did it in 2017.
Nice to see some visuals on there, almost 9 years later :-)
Cold Rush always was one of my favorite labels, and... well, who does not love it?
According to Pixeldada, the video "Features American 1950s 1960s nuclear bomb test movies."
So what could possibly go wrong?
Check it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8Bmp-r-uyE
There are also two extra clips:

"Cold Rush is the name of the PCP sister-label through which the Mover has released some of his most inspired music. Beginning in 1993, Acardipane and his comrades started making "music for huge space arenas", tracks whose cavernous reverb transforms even the most cramped club into a giant industrial hangar. At home, on headphones, you feel like you're inside a vast cathedral space carved out beneath the frozen methane crust of Pluto. Like dub and psychedelia, Cold Rush style "gloomcore" plugs into the history of sacred echo, from Gothic churches deliberately designed to swathe the listener in non-localisible mid-and-low frequency reverberance, all the way back to the prehistoric audio-technics of pagan rites conducted in caves and grottoes."

Unusual Drum Sample Pack
Here is a new sample pack by me.
You might know my earlier drum packs.
But this time I decided to go for something new.
My earlier packs were very much inspired by the techno and hardcore drum sounds that exist already.
Which was "rational", as I played them on so many hardcore and techno gigs.
But I wanted to change this a bit. We can't all use the same drums for all eternity - am I right?
So I tried to create *new* sounds. And experiment a bit!
And some of the results are really strange and bizarre. Drums that sound more like a laser gun fight, a bass-heavy gong, or huge objects going boom!
But it's still inspired by the well-known gabber and techno sounds. So there are more plain drums in here, two.
Something for everyone, I reckon? Or I hope!
There are also soft drums, hard drums... very noizy drums.
And all designed with the dancefloor and dance-crazy crowds in mind!
Of course you don't need to just use them for "techno" genres... fit them in your goth tracks, vgm, folk rock, neo prog... whatever!
License: Feel free to use these samples for any public, private, intimate, or commercial purpose.
Would be *very* cool if you credit me, but it's not strictly necessary.
Background:
I'm a Hardcore / Techno producer for 30 years.
Played at tresor.berlin and plenty of other places.
Etc etc
Like most Hardcore producers, I am addicted to bass drums!
And I hope to give something back to new or other producers with these sample packs.
List of drums:
1. 27 plain / techno kicks
Soft kicks that can be used right away... or boosted, eq-d, distorted
2. 56 hardcore kicks
Drums for the hardcore heads and gabber fiends!
3. 9 experimental kicks
more experimental type stuff... maybe for electro or indie pop?
4. 43 titan kicks
now we are talking... tried to create very unusual drums here, with a deep, low-punching sound. also very metallic
like coming straight from the depths below.
5. 25 noisy kicks
this is just pure noize, drums are barely recognizable... for extreme genres like industrial or speedcore.

Welcome to Rotterdam
Rotjecore just released a new compilation. The theme is, once more, tracks that talk about Rotterdam.
I have two tracks on it, too:
"Welcome To Rotterdam (Rotterdam The Hague Airport)"
and
"Rotterdam Yodelcore"
Style is oldschool hardcore - terror!

Monster of love mix
Out now! The new collaboration mix set between GabberGirl & Low Entropy!
And after last year's Monster Mash, we return to our love for monsters, with our monster's of love mix.
So all you were-gremlins, shifter-shapes, ling-wulves, haunt dogs, count duckulas, stein-frankens, and zombie poodles.
This one's for you!
We tried to do something new with this mix. It's not just hardcore or techno.
But we tried to fuse these distorted sounds with other genres. like pop, goth, rock, rap, metal... hope you can dig it!
