So, a while ago someone told me / us that he was bored with the usual "topics" of Hardcore tracks - demons with big boobas, gangstaz, caining cocaine... you know the drill.
Which made me think: what else is out there?
And the answer is: a lot!
Thus we started the 'Off-Charts' feature at The Hardcore Overdogs!
To show that there is more to Gabber than tracks that have always the same themes.
So, the question for you is: do you have a good suggestion for topics to cover?
Could be anything really... tracks about helping others and doing good, eating pizza, or jazz music.
While this might sound like a "troll" idea... no no, we're serious about that. There might be a lot of irony to some of these lists...
...but in the end we really want to put a spotlight on unusual gabber tropes, and show there is more to hardcore music than that which is visible at the surface.
Which is generally the intention of The Hardcore Overdogs magazine, also regarding unusual and under-appreciated artists, producers, labels... and everything else that is hardcore!
Therefore, let us know your wildest ideas. the more out there, the more abstract, the better!
And... if we like your idea... we might include it as an off-chart feature in the near future...!
So far we have covered...
Canine Core
https://thehardcoreoverdogs.blogspot.com/2024/04/off-charts-canine-core-hardcore-overdogs.html
This time we turn the spotlight on - us. or rather, not us, in the sense of the magazine - but the hardcore overdogs.
tracks about dogs, or that feature titles, ideas, concepts, related to dogs. so sink your canine teeth in and tear some imaginary flesh apart, dig up a bone - or simply howl to the moon.
get in touch with your inner animal and activate your "fight flight or reproduce" responses.
whatever it is, this one goes out to our four legged comrades.

Hardcore for the Winter Solstice

A list of tracks that are, in one way or the other, thematically related to this very special day of the year.
