Release: The Jaguar (93​-​96)


Killer new release by Alec Empire - or rather: "old" release. As it is made up of tracks he did in the early 90s, that only existed on dub plates he spun at parties in those days.
The release blurb says this is what Alec did "before Digital Hardcore", and indeed, his Techno roots from labels like Force Inc. are clearly visible (or audible) on this release.
I would classify these tracks as a kind of "Hardcore Detroit Techno". Theree is definitely adoration for Underground Resistance, Atkins, Mills etc. in these tracks - but with a very heavy twist.
High flying hi hats and percussion, gnawing bass lines, rave signals, terrifying drums, and sometimes just sheer noise.
Essentially, this is a type of music I always wanted to listen - really groovy, really mental and surreal Techno, Techno in its original sense, but much more brutal, sick and evil.
Highly recommended!

Release: VA - Tales of the 90's Oldschool



"Tales Of The 90s" is a series of relesses on Gabbaret Records that focuses on various aspects of the 90s Hardcore, Gabber and Techno sound that we all love so much.
The releases are dedicated to a certain year or, in this case, the "Oldschool" style.
It's a great release that makes you really feel like it's 1992 or 1993 again, with original Acid, Techno, Breakbeat sound.

Release: Dr Zombie - Artcore Attack



Dark Shark Industries is another label that is known for great Neo-Early Hardcore releases. This new one-track release "Artcore Attack" by Dr Zombie is another fine addition to its catalogue. Juno-type synth riffs, crazy vocal samples, rising acid bleeps, breakbeat, and of course frantic 909 drums; having everything an Oldschool Gabber fan might desire.
