Hardcore techno is a form of contemporary popular music with an aggressive edge, created using personal computers.

Hardcore techno is a kind of techno music closely related to the Gabba style. It originated in the early- to mid-1990s in largely industrial or post-industrial cities (Rotterdam, New York City, Newcastle, Australia) and simultaneously in commercial dance techno music looking for a harder sound; Mescalinum United's "We Have Arrived" (PCP 006, 1993) is considered by many to be the first hardcore track. It is typified by fast (160-300BPM) repetitive beats, often with a compressed kick-drum. It is considered a descendant of Industrial music and the more atonal, beat oriented early electronic music.

Hardcore techno is often obsessed with the obscene, morose, morbid, explicitly sexual or profane. Partly, this is because hardcore enthusiasts enjoy negative sensations, partly because they enjoy ironic provocation of other people's fears and aversions. Generally, hardcore techno seeks the social relationship which early punk rock or ska had: ironic, working class, demi-political, and seeking to transcend the oppressions of everyday life.

Like all electronic dance music, hardcore techno rapidly produced sub-variants:

Happy hardcore is probably the best known variant, which aims at invigorating and uplifting rapid dancing as opposed to the normally morbid focus. Speedcore and Terrorcore come closer to the original vision of rapid beats and dark sounds. Additionally a large amount of hardcore involves the use of breakbeats and tends towards Drum and Bass and Jungle. One example of this style of hardcore is breakcore. Often hardcore is classified by the city in which it was produced, the Newcastle sound, the Frankfurt sound, the French sound. It is uncertain why geography and culture play a large role in defining hardcore variants.

Hope it's guud :p

okay, added the style ... you should now see it in the edit song and add song pages. (¡t will only appear in MUZIK once at least one song is in it)

hetzelfde voor tekno~hardtek ;)

Freetekno

Freetekno (freetechno or hardtek) is underground form of techno music which tends to be very fast and is loaded with energy. There is a strong subculture of freetekno soundsystems or tribes formed around this music, a continuation of acid house scene, and as many feel with roots in prehistoric rituals. Massive parties called teknivals are held across Europe every year, many attracting thousand of people and lasting a week or longer.

The freetekno movement appeared in first half of the 1990s and is currently very strong in England, France, Czech Republic, Italy and Netherlands.

bon, hopefully there will be some interesting hardcore tracks uploaded
