What the heck is Slowcore?

When Techno and Hardcore gained traction in the 90s, there was the tendency for the sound to get more heavy and dirty on the one side, and more frantic and speedy on the other side; tracks at 160 BPM, 180 BPM, soon at over 200+ BPM came popping out; until eventually genres such as Terror and Speedcore arose and you had tracks clocking at 800 bpm in 1998. And, after the millenium, genres such as Splittercore and Extratone became popular that took the speed to even more insane levels.

But after a while, an evolution towards the opposite direction took place, too; starting in genres such as Industrial Hardcore and Doomcore, some artists began to produce slower and slower tracks; this soon gave birth to the phenomenon known as "Slowcore". Tracks below 100 BPM, or 80 BPM, or 60 BPM, or even at 1 bpm (and slower?). Slowcore even has its own sub styles by now, such as Funeral Doomcore for very slow tracks, or Hadal Doomcore for even much, much slower tracks (think 1-16 BPM).

When exactly a track does enter the "Slowcore" realm is open to dispute. For this compilation we used the definiton: 125 BPM or slower (with one exception!).

So we called out for producers to turn in their Slowcore tracks for this compilation, and the response was awesome. We have something from all realms of slower Hardcore here, 120 BPM tracks, 60 BPM, 4 BPM... Industrial inspired sounds, Doomed sounds, slow Dancefloor stompers, Dark Ambient influences, Death Metal, odd experiments... everything you can wish for.

And, while listening to the tracks, we almost got the impression that there was a historic error in the development of Hardcore Techno: these slow tracks sound so natural and kicking, the slow drums underline the dark moods and atmospheres so perfect, maybe Hardcore had always been ment to be produced at half the speed, or even much less!

So... get a glimpse of the Slowcore movement, and check this compilation - if you dare!

My name is Sönke,
But people call me Low Entropy

When I heard the sound of acid, doomcore, techno, gabber, xperimental
I knew I must be there, too
Must go there

And here i am

My journey started in Hamburg, Germany

But I went into space

And once I passed pluto

everything seemed possible

the chessboard dimension with the red rooms
was a bit of a challenge

and the purple cascade
beyond the horsecrab nebula
was a sight to behold

but also atlantis
was nice

they knew how to play the gong
and how to dance

and the folks of hades
put fire to the dancefloor

and what about cyberspace
meet me at third grid
from the mainframe

when i got back to earth
things had changed a lot

but it is still home
kind of

so let's take off
again

Call My Name

"Look at my eyes
They burn with the very fires of hell
Why? Because they need sleep
They need rest which I will not give them
My throat is parched from constant prayer
My hands are mauled from serving God in humiliation
My body is pain-wrecked from stone floors
Yes, I have suffered…"
