If you want to support Doomcore Records / Slowcore Records / Omnicore Records - or if you just want to have a huge amount of frigging good tracks - you can now purchase *all* releases of the three above mentioned labels for the meagre sum of 3 euro 15 cent. Of course you can tip us a larger sum if you are inclined to support us some more... or just to have a huge pile of exciting releases!
How to do it?
Just go to any releases on the Doomcore Records bandcamp using a web or desktop browser - for example this one:
I wrote a lot about other labels and artists, for different zines or self-published e-books. But I rarely talk about myself!
So I will talk a bit about my own music this time.
I was part of the "original speedcore" scene in the 90s. "I was there" when bpms were raised above 400, 500, or even 1000 bpm, and I even helped to raise them! One of my first "underground hits" was a straight 800 bpm track, released in 1998 on a lux nigra vinyl, alongside other artists like Christoph de Babalon or Paul Snowden.
It sometimes took time until my tracks reached vinyl, so a lot of the tracks that labels released in the year 2000 or on were actually productions I did in the 90s already. But even before the EPs and albums, my music circulated on the internet, on dub plates - and at parties, of course!
My speedcore activism got me booked at places like Tresor in Berlin, or the F**kparade party (yup, the one where the "Technoviking" video was made - I don't think my music is in that vid, though).
But then I moved on and dived into acid, doomcore, more "danceable" techno...
And scored some hits again, but this is another story!
I always stayed attached to the Speedcore scene and produced in that style now and then. And to my surprise, while it was very hard at first to push my doomcore or techno sound "to the crowds", whenever I do speedcore stuff, it seems the sound almost spreads by itself and reaches the fans... (and I would like to thank them this way!).
I started producing at age 16, in 1997. The early tracks were still done on an MS-DOS program called Impulse Tracker. It played back samples at various speeds and in various sequences (that's what trackers do!), but there were no built-in FX like reverb, delay, chorus, EQ... I had to use other apps like Soundforge, Reaktor, or Cool Edit Pro for that.
The project files had to be less than 1.44 MB in size because I saved them on floppydisk. When I wanted to create a demo-tape to send to a label (in an international parcel - because the hardcore scene was worldwide), i needed to ride the train across the city to "record" the projects from the diskettes via my brothers cassette tape deck. Before I finally could afford my own.
Later I leveled up to different programs and tech, of course.
Sooo... this is kind of a look back at all the Speedcore noise I produced in nearly 3 decades.

Hi folks & hellspawn, I was invited by Demonic Records to produce some tracks for a new dub plate / lathe cut 10". And I did.
Pre-views and pre-orders are online now... And you better hurry, because it will be strictly limited. Of course, there is a digital version available too!
So let's talk a bit about the tracks and production.
As the title signifies, this time the general theme is the connections of dimensions and times.
The title track, "Enter Dimension" is a classic Oldschool Doomcore affair. But it goes beyond that. The main hook is not a sawtooth-pad, but a synth that is closer to scifi soundtracks, or earlier ambient bands (think 70s "Berlin School")... maybe even with a bit of inspiration by EBM, John Foxx, and Detroit.
"Dawn of Time" pounds at a Slowcore rhythm. But there are plenty of extra elements. Manipulated opera voices... old style UK rave bleeps... doomed chanting... and a bit of animal-like howls.
So I tried to keep it classic with both tracks, but there is also something new... and dark!
The Doomcore Records Pod Cast is proud to present a new Monster of a Mix, or, actually: a Monster Mash! The theme fits to Halloween like a glove (and maybe it's the knifeful glove of Freddy Krüger). Music about Monters, Ghouls, Ghost and Goblins... so don't doze off in a pet semetary (because you don't know *what* you will be *whenever* you wake up...) but put on your dancing shoes and get gabbering to these hardcore tunes!
The mash was mixed (or the mix was mashed) by GabberGirl who is already a veteran on the Pod Cast. While these sick beats were cured... pardon, "curated" - by our in-house witchdoctor Low Entropy.
So enjoy this Pod, and one final word of warning: if you find a different kind of pod laying around, in your garden, during Halloween... don't pick it up and hold it to your ears, for you don't know if it comes from Planet X, the 8th dimension, or the IRS!
