A compilation of random tracks I pulled from my collection—ones that really stood out to me. I think most of them fall under Hard Trance, though I’m not 100% sure. There are a few more Hardcore-leaning ones in the mix too.

Originally, I bought these records for their Hardcore tracks. But as I started digging deeper, I found myself really enjoying these other versions as well. Some of these tracks just hit—I think it’s because they were all made in the '90s, using the same machines and production styles as the Hardcore I love.

The photo is a nod to one of the places where I discovered and dug up the most music—both here and during my time studying in the UK. I’m sure many music freaks like me can relate to going down the Discogs rabbit hole when you were supposed to be focusing on other things...

The Gabbatrance Experience (Vinyl)

Original hardcore disc jockey. I spin the true hardcore sound that I enjoy so much for all the gabbers. All the mixes I posted on this page are 100% vinyl. 

Gabberizer is my main alias for hardcore. My others are:
aka DJ Hakkeehh (funcore/UK)  
aka R'dam Maniac (rotterdam hardcore)
aka DJ PulseX (90s music, mainly hard trance)

The tracks I spin I’ve hunted down, one by one, after hours of digging, listening, and selecting. Every mix I make starts with flipping through my collection, chasing the tracks I feel like connect well. 

For me, vinyl is discipline. It’s commitment. There is no sync, no screens, no waveforms, no cue points, just raw, analog sound. It’s the DJ and his ears. 

While digital is convenient and accessible, I choose vinyl to stay true to the roots of mixing. I spin hardcore the way it was meant to be heard: straight from wax, loud, dirty, and alive. My goal is to remind people that hardcore and dance music were born on raw, analog sound systems, blasting vinyl records in dark rooms. That’s the energy I try to bring to every set.

However, I can also play digital if no turntables are available. 

RESPECT GOES OUT TO ALL THE REAL GABBERS!!!
