Haha, touché, but it's meant as an ellipsis; I know usually that's three dots, but I don't want the pause to be as long as I would if I used three.

I do like Shitmatts stuff though, but that's more a pissatke than anything else.

Haha, i'll try and explain.

Break-Core & Gabba is basically dutch rave music, very hard and dark with massive disortion, and generally as noisy as possible.

Whereas the british rave scene progressed into Happy Hardcore/Bouncy Techno/Jungle/Drum & Bass, the dutch went alot harder and darker

I heard a happy hardcore remix of an S Club 7 song once. Does that make me cool?

I once made a D&B mash up of the Scissor Sisters "I don't feel like dancing" it was great.

Depends what you're after mate, The first CD i will tell you to buy is 'Hardcore Adrenaline 3', mixed by Stu Allen & Seduction, but that's me being totally biased because my record is on the Seduction CD :lol:

If you want a more 'commercial' sounding album, go for Clubland Extreme hardcore 4, mixed by Styles, Breeze & Hixxy.

If you want a massive mix of tougher, uplifting and breakbeat hardcore, go for Hardcore Underground 2.

Or, there's a new Austrailain CD out with some amazing tracks on, which you can order online, called Ultimate Hardcore 3 : Mixed by Suae, Al Strom & Neophyte.


There;'s so many albums out at the momet it's unreal, but they are the ones i recommend :)

That sounds utterly horrendous haha, thankfully i have managed to avoid that. I'd bet my mortgage (if i had one) on it being made by either Kaos or Stompy.

They speak so highly of happy hardcore haha

I find alot of those 'sub' genres pointless to be honest, people have to seperate themselves from others so they have something to call their own, it's all just hardcore to me.

Just look at Drum and Bass, you have Liquid, Jump Up, Trance & Bass etc, it's all just DnB.

each to their own though :)

Yeah they are a little cynical about it!

I dunno, I like genre names because they concisely sum up the sound. I do see a difference between Liquid and Trance & Bass - it's good to be able to neatly distinguish the two.
Personally I'm probably more into Toystep at the moment :D

It's dance/band type stuff that uses old childrens toys as some of the instruments. It tends to be loud and shouty but all in good humor.
Partyshank probably started it, but they have gone a bit more down the Electro path these days - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ke3dGHzKW2g
The best example is probably Clanky Robo Gob Jobs, who is a total riot to see live! Give 'Powerupmegablast' a listen. http://www.myspace.com/clankyrobo
