The YouTube channel "Electric Byway" explores two interesting cases related to the (pre-) History of Hardcore Techno. Both deal with tracks / compositions that were created long before the 90s era.
Electric Byway is a channel to discuss electronic music related topics that are not covered much in the YouTube sphere. It is mostly about hardcore techno - a big universe of its own - though it's not limited to that. With the videos they "try to bring new perspectives" both on electronic music history and current underground scenes from around the world.
While the bigger electronic music scenes give context, they especially like to cover smaller more unknown scenes and local players who do their own thing in their area. They address the viewers as "seekers", because the channel is aimed at people who search for more unknown music and information with an open mind.
And now, without further ado: go and check the vids themselves!

Part 1:
Hardcore techno's alternative history - Case: Dance of the Anthropoids - Electric Byway
"Was the first released prototype of hardcore techno actually released in 1968 in Finland? In this video, we take a look at the history of hardcore techno and speedcore, and a particular 1960's experiment of high tempo rhythmic electronic music and its creator."

Part 2:
Hardcore techno's alternative history - Case: Beta - Electric Byway
'Was the first beta version of "hardcore techno" made in 1963 Denmark after all? This video is a follow up to the 1968 Dance of the Anthropoids case and we take a look at another early electronic music pioneer. We are also going a bit into the future from where we left of last time, this time exploring the element of distorted bassdrums and "phreaking".'
