Cities of Hardcore Techno in the 1990s

Hardcore is a style that emerged at the turn of the 1980s into the 1990s within the dance and electronic underground.
The entire evolution of the sound is not tied to one location. It was an international, global effort.
In essence, the early hardcore techno scene already was a model of the "global village" concept, a few years before the real advent of wide-spread internet use.
(And it sometimes amazes me how everyone could have stayed connected around earth, with just fax, phone, and early dial-up stuff in some cases).

So... let's take a look at the various locations of the this music scene, at a time when hardcore techno and gabber house was still young!
