DJ Mix: An Introduction To 90s Underground Hardcore - The Hardcore Legends




A message from the mixing DJ:

This mix is based on two ideas.

It's hard to say what makes a track a good "introductory Hardcore track". One thing is the brutality of course, but other factors are also the dark mood, the outer space feel of Hardcore's Techno heritage, and the sheer experimentation and noize.
But also the use and mixture of elements, such as the use of Thrash guitars and explicit rapping.
And many other things.
So I eventually had the idea to make a mix of all those tracks with these qualities.

The second idea was this: in the past I made tribute mixes to some of the legendary Hardcore producers. But why not make a mix with many of them, and for each one using a track that I consider to be among their best, but just one, so a large number of producers get featured?
