The original Gabber creators: looking back at 11 tracks by the Euromasters and friends

I guess everyone who is into Gabber heard the name Euromasters being mentioned, one time or another.
After all, a lot of people consider them to be the creators of the first true Gabber track ever - Alles naar de klote. That's the origin of Gabber right there.
That track really rocked the scene, was also widely known beyond the Hardcore moshpits. I remember a few german music mags crowning the track as one of the best releases of that year.

And it even lent its name to a wicked dutch movie ( https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117142/ ) - about rave, crime, and gabber house, of course.

What might be lesser known is that they also were involved in lots of other cool tracks and releases.
And that is what we are looking at, here.

1. Rotterdam, Ech Wel! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzXiht93wT0

"Amsterdam waar leech dat dan" is probably the other well-known tracks by Euromasters. This b-side to the record release sounds actually quite similar... but i prefer this one even one notch more!

2. Alles Naar De Klote (250 Bpm Remix By Dimitri) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QO2ebqVYoKY

hey, dimitri! this is the tracks we've been talking about... but it is even harder & faster :-)

3. He scheids! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YE0gNBjjaoI

a dutch guy once told me this one is about soccer, and rivalry between teams (of other nations?)
regardless of the message, this is one of the most bad ass rough gabba tracks ever!

4. Oprottûh (Hooligans Mix) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhrtV-WnWpE

as far as i know, euromasters established the "loud scream, bass drum, go!" formula long before other labels did... this track is a good example of that!

5. Noiken In Die Koiken (German Mix) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlxmFhukr4k

the title is about a profane act in the kitchen.. weird?
love the bass vibrations here.

6. Everybody Clap Your Hands (Original Mix) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eP1GYcG4kpc

notable for being one of the few gabber tracks that does not really follow a "four to the floor" beat.

7. De Klootzakken - Dominee Dimitri https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8T3dxhQ3S-I

this is madness! some of the most insane psycho hardcore sounds ever.

8. Hooihouse - Pien An De Eure (Kuilgras Hop) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgJxr7nlIqw

solo project by teun hooihouse. a early "speed up" track. heavy and fast.

9. Ziekehouse (Semtex Mix) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6Hr5fXq--o

a later solo project. it seems the samples, and therefore most of the track, is made up by the sound of fire crackers!

10. Sonic Warrior - Supersonic Guerilla https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gOTf37U10g

teun hoihouse used an aka to create the intro to the terrordrome iv compilation.
it's much more than an intro, it's a complete tracks, yet a very unusual track, because at the same time...it's still an intro!

11. A Message from Hell https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UCSPIUHlJE

sounds like this one was sent from hell, indeed! even though it has that funny sample by british punk band the "toy dolls".
