Three-Way Split by Plinn 1518, PFP, Schnauz


When was the last time you heard a full-length album release of Experimental Hardcore? Doesn't happen so often, eh? Did it actually ever happen at all?
And because of this, we are thrice proud to present you this release on Omnicore Records!
Plinn 1518, pFp_mkrt, and Schnauz are three artists who occupy a liminal realm in between the sonic territories of hardcore, speedcore, noize, industrial, electronics, experimental... and this is exactly what you get on this release!
You get kicked hard by the bassdrums, and mind-warped by the waves, noises, soundscape... surreal, bizarre, and vicious.
So, what are you waiting for? Dive right into this trifurcate releases by three masters of mental hardcore noise!

Low Entropy Sample Pack 2 - Doomcore, Gabber, and Speedcore Bassdrums


Heya, here is a new sample pack by me.
This time it's all about the bass!

43 different kickdrums.
Most are based upon the 909. But three 808 type kicks are included, too.

https://lowentropy.bandcamp.com/album/low-entropy-sample-pack-2-doomcore-gabber-and-speedcore-bassdrums

Guide:

Load the wavs into your DAW, Sampler, whatever, and start banging.
Feel free to edit them, cut them, add EQ, effects or more reverb, in order to enhance them even further.
Note: due to the oldschool vintage distortion that I used, on some kicks an audible "click" sound can be heard. I don't mind this, but if it interferes with your production, cut it out or fade it off to fix this "issue".

The kicks should be suitable for most forms of Hardcore Techno and beyond; Gabber, Oldschool, Acidcore, Doomcore, Speedcore, Industrial, Slowcore, Breakcore, and so on...

To be more specific:

the "plain" kicks can be used to further manipulate them, distort them, whatever you like.
the "distortion" and "distortion + eq" kicks should be good for techno, gabber etc.
the "multi distortion" are good for speedcore terror, industrial and more.
"distortion + hall" are good for techno, acid, doomcore, slower genres...
"multi distortion + hall" are seriously messed up kicks that could be used for extreme slowcore or speedcore maybe.

but who am i to judge - employ them as you see fit.

Check out my earlier sample pack as well, in order to have some synths, basslines, percussions, fx (and more kicks) that you can use with these kicks:

why "only" 43 kicks?
I thought an approach of "less is more" works better here.
There should be enough variation to start working on a track right away in a multitude of genres.
And instead of me doing all possible iterations of eq, kick, hall, etc, and putting these into the pack, making things unnecessarily convoluted, these sounds can be used as a seed to build different variations of the kicks on your own, by running them through various effects and filters.

License:

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

Hardcore Techno Rebels


Out now on Gabbaret Records!
A true Hardcore Rebel release.
I tried to channel lot's of 90s core into the tracks - very analogue sounds, lots of acid, gabber kicks... but I also tried to derail these tropes and structures ('Lunatic on the Run' is definitely a second theme to this release).
Thus it's angry hardcore terror straight into your face! (At least I hope that it is ;-)

11 tracks, speedcore and slower tracks, 1 full album!

Best Wishes,
Sönke
