New Hardcore Techno releases worth checking out and more - 1/2024

New Hardcore Techno releases worth checking out and more - 1/2024

Okay, so the situation is this:
There is a lot of awesome, exciting Hardcore music being poured out. This is going on for a few years now; and it's getting better, the amount of new releases grows, and things get more experimental, varied, and frigging rough at the same.
Yet, this still goes largely unnoticed. The sound is just not *getting through*. Many people focus on the same labels, artists, festivals, over and over again. So most of the "good stuff" remains - invisible. This is especially true for the internet and social media, where there is a serious lack of acknowledgment of the very lively new Hardcore *underground*.

Well, cue The Hardcore Overdogs. This was one of the reasons to start this e-zine. To give these new and old over/underdogs the spotlight that they so exceptionally deserve.

This does not mean we hate the "mainstream" artists. It's just not what we want to push.

And now, in order to actually *push* these very new underground sounds, we are starting this new series on noteworthy novel releases.
We won't focus entirely on Hardcore here, but also adjacent and otherwise special genres.
And, of course, not just on the unknown dogs, but also some well-known releases that retain an interesting and / or underground sound.

The series will be quarterly, with an entry for each quarter of the year.
This list is not exhaustive or complete, of course. These are just the picks we decided to center on. There is much more stuff out there!
But let us go ahead now.

Here is the first entry for 2024.
