Hardcore Techno musicians dabbled with almost every other music genre in the 90s; and musicians from almost every genre dabbled with Hardcore, even if only for a short moment.
This means that a lot of hybrids, hydras, and chimeras were created.
One that always piqued my interest was "electro-core"; i.e. music that is somewhat related to the "electro-funk" style of the 80s, but is also somewhat Hardcore. (Electro-Funk in the sense of sounds that were made by artists like Hashim, Egyptian Lover, or The Jonzun Crew.)
The main player (or breaker) here is definitely Phil Klein aka Bass Junkie, who, I'd assume, made 90% of tracks that could be fit into this very niche of a genre.
BTW: He also did a lot of "regular" Electro and other styles, too!
But there is also Biochip C, DMX, and... well, let's just go on.
(All of the above mentioned did their tracks under various akas).
Here are 11 tracks that fit somewhere in the gap in between Oldschool Electro and Hardcore Techno.
1. Computor Rockers – Computor Interface (USB 2.0)
2. Battle Systems - Atomics
3. Legowelt - Electro Race
4. Minimum Syndicat - The mantis-priests have gathered
5. I Borg - Engage the Borg
6. Umwelt - Beyond Celestial Limits
7. Cyborg Unknown - Year 2001 (In the Beginning)
8. I-F - I Do Because I Couldn't Care Less
9. Umwelt - Undercurrent
10. Final Dream - Pain Amplifier
11. Umwelt - Undercurrent
