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!

Heya,
Do you remember my album "Nocturnal Missions" that was put out on Gabbaret Records earlier this year?
I kept a producer's diary for it, and it's now online!
So you can learn some productions tricks & stuff :-)

Check it out here!

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.

lowentropy.bandcamp.com/album/low-entropy-sample-p…

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:

lowentropy.bandcamp.com/album/low-entropy-sample-p…

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.

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

Hey Hey,
There is a new vinyl release out on RIOT Radio Records - the "Filth" EP by Matthias Koch.
It's full of filthy Techno, Hardcore, maybe even a bit Acid-ic...
And there is a remix by yours truly on it, too!

You can also get a digital version with 2 extra tracks.
But the DJs should go for the vinyl to spin, of course :-)

Cheers,
Sönke / Low Entropy

A new e-book related to the history of Hardcore Techno (and Doomcore) has been published:

"The unofficial Planet Core Productions guidebook - all releases on all PCP sub-labels listed, rated, and short-reviewed"

And we quote:

"Here it is.
The unofficial Planet Core Productions guidebook.
After it was "almost forgotten" towards the end of the 90s, the interest in this very special label of Techno history is growing at a fast pace again.
This guidebook is mostly aimed at "newcomers" to the PCP-sound; to give them a little overview, information and direction; in order to possibly help them in their decision on which record to pursue & purchase.
And, the guidebook exists, so that this piece of techno history does not get forgotten (hopefully).
Because: 'You and me... we are simply passing through history. But this... this *is* history.'

Note: This is a beta version and some releases are not listed yet."

You can read it here: pcplegendsintheirlife.blogspot.com/2024/07/planet-…

It includes information about the following labels:

Planet Core Productions
Dance Ecstasy 2001
Cold Rush Records
Kotzaak Unltd.
Super Special Corp.
Interzone
100% Acidiferous

and many more!
