Release: CatKing - Style Invader



Very interesting release by CatKing on 4 The Core Recordings.

Oldschool / 90s Hardcore style, but different from what you usually get: not the typical "Early Rave" Ruffneck / Omar Santana / Mid-Era-Thunderdome etc. type, rather mid-tempo bangers bangers with "dance-y" MC vocals, wicked hoovers, "groovy" percussion; channeling the early Parkzicht-Gabber era for sure, but mixed with UK Hardcore, later Gabber and maybe even "Newstyle" influences. A hot mixture, and I must say, the tracks are hard and funky at the same time indeed.

It's nice to see a release that goes more in the direction of 1990-1993 Gabber for once in the midst of all the new "90s Hardcore Revival" releases. Rock-on!
