When I started doing music, my idea was to put as much money into it as I would get out of it - to arrive at a kind of "zero sum" activity. But, of course, in 27 years of producing, gigging, running labels, writing books, and other things, I spend a lot more money on these things than I gained by them - so this "zero sum" idea fell flat very quickly.

The consequence was that I had to "keep my budget" as tight as possible - to use freeware software for music production, to use websites that allow a "free" subscription / plan, i.e. to avoid any type of gear, app, service, activity that would cost money.

I got by this way; I got by very well. But to be honest, this was only possible because people intervened a lot and said "hey, I like your art, and want to gift you this!". Not necessarily money in every case, though.

But nowadays, free software and free internet sites become rarer and rarer; and as I delve into *bigger* projects, I often hit walls and corners where I realize; there are things which would need *money* in order to get ahead.
This could be as "simple" as having to spend money to get a good video editing software. Or an app for digital image work.
Or, of course, better sound gear and programs.

Thus, if you like what I do, and what I did so far, maybe you are interested in supporting me financially. I promise I will put all money gained this way into future projects. And maybe I can finally get some "bigger" projects off the ground this way.

There are 2 basic ways you can support me:

90s Hardcore Gabber and Speedcore Revival

https://doomcorerecords.bandcamp.com/album/90s-hardcore-gabber-and-speedcore-revival-the-next-chapter

It started a few years ago: a growing interest in the hardcore, gabber, rough electronic sounds of the 1990s.While the focus was at first towards the more dance-y, mainstream aspects of this scene, the explorers of this realm are excavating more and more stuff by now; we not only see a revival of early hardcore and gabber, but also of the underground, speedcore, acidcore, "terror" material.

this thing is getting huge man, and recently gabber beats began to blast into mainstream media and the public eye, with movie directors, famous pop stars, and everyone else really, starting to adopt these sounds.

is this development good or bad? you be the judge. but it's been a wild wild ride my friend, and we definitely desire to jump in, to surf on this train, and look where it leads us - into salvation, darkness, or both?

this is a 8 part release. the centerpiece is a megamix of (new!) hardcore revival tracks in the 1990s style (with some modern twists and production, too).
it starts slow at 180 bpm, begins to climb steadily, 200 bpm, 240 bpm, 260 bpm, and then lifts of into oblivion.
and there are also 7 pieces from this mix as stand-alone tracks - maybe useful for DJs or listeners at home.
Either way: enjoy and bon voyage!
