# “ The fastest, most abrasive form of dance music currently available at any one time “
*sub-genre of 'electronic dance music' and precisely 'techno' music, 'hardcore-techno gabberhouse' (gabber) found its roots in the 1990s primarily in The Netherlands, and Belgium, and developed in the UK, France and Germany. *
Contrary to other styles of techno, hardcore-techno is faster with a BPM ranging from '160 to 200' with intensified kicks and distorted saturation, that may recall industrial music.
**Some sub-genres of hardcore techno music includes; **

(1992-1999),
millennium hardcore / newstyle ( 2000 – 2008),
old school or early terror and/ or speedcore ( 1993-2006),
Anybody out there making their own 'hardcore-techno'-related music, if so, what are your 'tools of the trade'? what equipment or software do you use? playing live ?, or rather spinning the 'wheels of steel/ turntable-ism'? feel free to share your own stuff or anybody from the mentioned group !!
Mine is the classic oldschool hardcore gabber, the experimental, darker, fast, influenced by acid and other dance at the time, the paranoid beats, the 90s arcade sounds and vocals, the hip-hop influence… and i like it best when its in the style of oldschool terror, i love faster bpm and fat pounding 909 kicks, also i tend to like the ‘outdated’ hoover sound a lot ( delta 9, kotzaak, geof tha cheff , drokz etc. )
at home i also like the more industrial sound of hardcore and more breakcore oriented stuff, also the more ‘acid’ influences the better :)
