Gabber At Half Speed


Do you like Hardcore Techno and Gabber House? It's nice, but it's a bit fast, isn't it? Quite hard to dance to. Unless you want to bang your fists and swing your head around the whole time.
And indeed, if you look at Hardcore History... it started somewhere at 130, 140 bpm... early 90s... and then just went faster and faster. 160 bpm was not uncommon, suddenly 180 bpm was the place to be, and by the mid 90s, everything went faster and faster, 200 bpm, 210 bpm, and even a lot more!

So the idea behind this release is:
Let us undo the history of hardcore and do the reverse!
Not go "faster and faster", but to slow down, getting slower, and slower, and slower......
Yeah we had some Slowcore sounds in the past. I mean, we are Slowcore Records, after all.
But so far this was more or less low tempo Doomcore, Industrial Hardcore, EBM, Dark Ambient...
Not really Gabber House, right?
Now in this case, these are true blue Oldstyle Gabber tracks. with hoovers, choir-hits, rave sounds, bleeps, clonks... gabber grooves... dancefloor smashers.
But at a much slower pace. Half tempo Gabber. Or even more extreme.

It's Hardcore Techno at "slowed+reverb", basically.
And we hope you enjoy it very much!
