90s Underground Hardcore Techno Resources and Information Archive - Three-Fold News

New three-fold information campaign with a focus on 90s hardcore techno

We at The Hardcore Overdogs are especially dedicated to the preservation of the 90s Hardcore Techno scene, it's sub-genres, and especially it's lesser-known, buried, under-appreciated aspects, artists, artists, labels, tracks...
And we want to spread awareness and data about this very special and unique scene and its moment in history.

So, in a new effort, we're doing a "three-fold-information campaign" regarding this music movement.

These three parts are:

1. The 90s Gabberpedia

We quote:

"This is an ongoing attempt to built an online encyclopedia for the worldwide underground hardcore techno scene of the 90s.

For now, the main part of the encyclopedia is a compendium of labels, artists, and styles; which is also in the stage of being built, and getting continuously expanded and amended."


Includes information about such styles as:

Speedcore
Acidcore
Doomcore
Oldschool
Extreme Hardcore (also known as "Terror")
Experimental Hardcore
Breakcore
Hardcore out of France (before Frenchcore)
Tracker Hardcore
Industrial Hardcore

And many more!

2. Playlists on Youtube and Discogs

These supplement the 90s Gabberpedia, but are also a stand-alone activity. It makes for easy access and easy listening, and you can get your hand (and ears) on genuine gabber-genre tracks right away!

The playlists are an on-going, living thing, so they will be amended over time, and new playlists will be added as well.

you can get to the playlists via The 90s Gabberpedia or go to:


3. An Introductory Video

"20 Hardcore Techno styles in 7 minutes".

Giving a short explanation with audio examples of styles that were mentioned in the above activities (and a few more). This is mostly for newcomers, who want to get a quick glimpse and short look-around of the whole "90s Hardcore thang".
