10 Initiatory Tracks: 1990s Speedcore Techno

One of the questions we get the most is along the lines of: "Hey, I'm new to Hardcore, and I just discovered your e-zine, and I'm very curious about [genre x]. But there is not much information about it out there. I already listened to [artist y] and [track z], and I totally love that shit! Could you please point me to more tracks or releases that sound similar to this?."

And [Genre x] in that case could be Speedcore, Acidcore, Doomcore, or something along that way...
And it's true. Especially when it comes to older releases or more obscure sub-styles, there is not information out there; and just searching the terms on youtube or google will get you lots of generic and sub-par results. and asking on forums or reddits will often get you to fanpersons who are eager to hype the "same ole, same ole" acts to each individual that passes by...

so we started this new series: "10 initiatory tracks: [xyz]".
this is aimed at newcomers to hardcore techno, or newcomers to that specific style.
it should give them a quick overview of that genre, and a good idea how it actually sounds like.
thus we will choose tracks that represent this concept.

these lists are not complete or exhaustive; there is much (much!) more stuff out there to be found.
these might not be the best tracks of the genre, or important artists might even be missing, due to the reduced amount of entries in these listings.

in these cases, you should feel very free to list these "missing tracks", or the tracks that *you* consider to be important and relevant for the genre, or even your very personal favorites, in the comments below!
