Know your Genre: EARLY GABBER | History of Hardcore [Documentary]

Most of those styles were around by the early 90. Becoming aware of something doesn’t make it new. It’s only new to yourself.

All docs get this wrong, ignore this fact, or just dont want to acknowledge but the subculture was generally very political during the 00s lmfao.

Gabber is a Jewisch word from Amsterdam!

Gabber is the Xennial community. You get what you get when you get there because there's nothing else but the music there will be at the place you are.

Totally good documentary! Especially with the tracklist and time stamps, super! I am a follower of all hardchore, techno and tek. I enjoyed the early days in the 90s and looked back to the 80s and other genres.. Insane world and I like the hardcore is alive and pushing new limits!

❤🤙

Gabber or hardcore is basically the birth of modern edm style music and influencing all modern music worldwide.

Tracks suits from all styles is wrong bro. Only real gabbers wore the finest garbs of Australian tracks suits. Called ''aussies'' Thats it. Every other garment is fake! Back in the day if you did not wore an aussie you where ''alternative''. That meant you listed to kurt nobrain and ub42 haha

I missed the Terror from 2004'ish or is that called early terror?

Such an amazing moment in the history of electronic music. Best years of my life 💙

THE BEAT !!!!!!!!!!

For me it started in 1991 in The Bolero in Breda and then went to Parkzicht for the first time in 1992, then energiehallen and so on. Now i got 3 kids and my oldest(24) has taken it over from me :P. Dang, i'm old watching these things and whilst getting some good memories XD XD

hakke! i still wonder if i am on one of the permill videos

🔥

why did you include fragments of dr mix? it has nothing to do with gabber/hardcore at all.. seems you just grabbed fragments here and there, and pretend it's from that era.

Funny Gabbers thought they weren't political with tolerance and non-commercialism ...

i realy like to now what song starts on 15.23 please

What about Industrial Hardcore...?

OMG! So great! Thank you so much!!!!

Old skool hardcore 1989-1995 4life

Goosebubbles all the Time! I'm part of it, since the 90's. I can't go away, and I won't. Hardcore will never Die, rave on!

I used to have all the thunderdome anf terrordrome compilation cd's. Luvd hardcore before i discovered goatrance. I still love the sound of 303 and 808 and love to play around with them

Fantastic Nights 90's

Hardcore is not anti fascist 😂 people need to stop trying to push their personal politics onto everyone else.

Hardcore is pro White.

God I remember Gabber. It was so tedious with that two step bass drum pattern and if you were really unlucky a Goddamn horrendous cheesy synth line.

About as fun as a colonoscopy.

I guess you are just trying to contain the dutch side of the story in your narrative, but there was definitely a big push from German labels like Overdrive and Labworks (just to name a couple), even some French (Le Petit Prince) and of course the ones who started it all with Newbeat and Hardbeat with ones such as Music Man and of of course R&S in the earlier part of the 90s toward a harder edged sound, that were an indispensable part of the what we now know as the 'classic' Gabber sound (ie Ruffneck, Neophyte etc) as with anything, it;s a product of it;s environment and took influence from music from many other parts of the world and then other ppl from different parts of the world took it and put their own spin on it and that in turn influenced the music..;

Speaking of those old labels, I just downloaded a ton of their entire catalog, got samples now and ideas for at least 7 tracks ;) Just so amazing that the clubbier trance sounds are what basically saved Hardcore and allowed it to keep drawing new blood to events and staying relevant (Not that we REALLY give a hoot what the other snobby genrewhores think of us) But less pipebeats and more CHUD, Proper Gabber actually has a groove to it with the ascendant cymbal kicks that usually kick in the second bar after the drop, and thats kind of being lost in alot of the ultra compressed modern stuff. To come back in a big way soon if I can do anything about it!

Whilst travelling in Europe I stumbled across this documentary, whilst I very much enjoyed watching and learning more I can't help but think that you didn't credit the Americans and more so the British with the hardcore sounds. The Brits took the best of Europe and the best of America and pioneered breakbeat hardcore and jungle and had the best of the happy hardcore era and trancecore (your didn't cover trancecore properly on the vid here).

Its prime was far before my birth. However I am enjoying what was left.

great video :) thank you for the work

I've still got everyone of my HELTER SKELTER DREAMSCAPE FANTASIA VIBALITE HUMAN TRAFFIC TAPE PACKS all full not a single missing one and I stopped collecting HTID 2012 NYE HARDCORE TIL I DIE OGI OGI OGI 😂😂

90 % Даже не представляют как двигаться, трясутся как нарики.😂😂😂😂

I am going to get hated for this but Happy Hardcore in the 90s got me into the dance scene and away from the metal scene. I am still a big fan of UK Hardcore / Happy Hardcore.

The best hardcore - Van Kerckhoven and Erick & Tactic.

I love these types of videos, but the subtitles gave me a migraine 😅

Hardcore Is born In Rotterdam gabber is a way of heart not a way of culture the first real hardcore track is called '' Amsterdam Waar lecht dat dan''
The Marc accardipane story ain't true 😂😂😂😂

As a gabber and part-time producer from 1994 onwards - without the bold head - I just want to add that - imho - the biggest downside of many (obviously not all !) newer hardcore tracks is that they are missing the 'stanima' and don't keep the bass pounding long enough; even when the kicks & sounds are hard; they usually cut to another break or build-up after merely a few patterns / too fast for my liking ... which breaks some of the immersion older tracks bring. We need more kicks, and shorter & less frequent interludes !

Great Video!

WHERE IS ATARI TEENAGE RIOT!!!

Those new "Early hardcore" all sounds the same to me.

The 'early hardcore' sound is for many people a nostalgic throwback to the vibes of the '90s. Simpler times, goofing around with your friends, crate digging in record shops, experiment with upcoming technology, quality drugs (ehm, so they say, ahum) and universalist mentality.

Now for my tastes in te broad spectrum that is loosely defined as 'Hardcore':
*Early hardcore, great fun and for the vibe I mentioned above

*Industrial hardcore, bit slower BPM which creates more impact if that makes sense. I also enjoy a lot of breaks to shake things up. Some metal snares also get me going. (PRPSCT rec, Genosha, Mindustries,...

* Acidcore, what can I say. I love 303's and the squelching brain-melting sounds. Deep kick drums, amen break drum loops, eerie samples for ethereal dancing. (Narcosis, PureAnalog)

Not a fan of Terror and Speedcore. I appreciate pioneers as Drokz, Akira,... and I get the appeal but it's not for me.

Peace out and take care! HAKKEN

4 to the floor beat is meh

This is awesome. Thanks heaps

everything our generation

again

What a well put together video you have here my friend, definitely early gabber/early hardcore is my fav by far!

First: Thankfully forgot to mention a lot of shitty mainstream from the last 6-7years. (Not as sweet the taste of Hardcore scene as the video are showed. I'm mean not all for everyone.)
Second: Mentioning DJ Ruffneck only for a fraction is... i don't have words for that. I know there are a lot of DJ's and producers, they cannot fit into 22 minute of course. But Ruffneck also is a very BIG name from very early on. Whatever.
