The Rotterdam Sound (Out On Rotjecore Records)

I always loved the track "Dark Germany" by Superpower on Things To Come... especially the segment towards the end, when the track changes... and I thought... what if that segment was a track to itself?
Then a while ago I had the idea to a do a remix... and use a technique that was still common in the 80s, when tracks were not recreated on workstations, but tapes spliced, looped and merged... so I cut the track in parts and put them together again without adding new sounds... and here it is.
It's an unofficial edit, but has the blessing of Oliver Chesler, I hope you enjoy it a bit.

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!

76 Knights (Unofficial Krautrock Remix Of Jack Lucifer - 96 Knights)

another attempt at a "vintage" version of 96 knights. this time it's in chiptune, 80s homecomputer style.
this is just a fun thing, that also tries to pay respect to this classic hardcore work by kotzaak. if anyone involved in the creation of this song should be annoyed by this, i'll take it down immediately.

Thunderdoom (Slowest Doomcore Track Ever; 1 BPM)

Fuck Donald Trump

i made a 1 bpm doomcore track a while ago but i've been doubted because the track did not "really" clock at 1 bpm...
so here is a track that fixed this error; 1 bpm doomcore; 1 bpm tempo. the bassdrum hits at every quarternote, and the pads
and strings run at 16th notes, as does part of the percussion. enjoy!

Hamburg always had an interesting and intriguing take on Hardcore, with well-known labels such as Nordcore, Fischkopf, Cross Fade Enter Tainment, Blut and maybe Doomcore Records. So i thought it was about time to try to create an own anthem to this very special city of Hardcore.

Hamburg Hardcore Anthem

Low Entropy - Geile Ärsche Und Titten In Der Innenstadt Im Sommer

...born 1980 in Hamburg, Germany. in 1996 i discovered the world of hard electronic music...
 and immediately fell in love with it... i never heard music with that extreme energy and passion behind it before...
 in 1997 i decided to create music myself... my style back then was mostly experimental hardcore, breakcore and speedcore...
 in 2000 i had my first release then, my 12" on Blut recordings.
 later that year, Betty Bombshell and me started a show on the terrestrial radio station "FSK" in Hamburg.
 the idea of the show was to broadcast music from the experimental and hard music scenes to an audience that might have not much contact with that kind of sound before. Betty left the show in 2001. 

 there was still a need for that kind of thing in Hamburg; Sampler19 and me teamed up, and we created the "Hamburg Hardcore Radio" show.
 apart from playing old and new records and tracks from the hard scenes on air, we also did many all-night shows, featuring a lot of guest DJs. later, The Man Unknown and DJ Escada joined us, and we started a crew that did the radio shows together.

 in 2002 a 12" by me was released on Praxis, i was very happy about this release, but i do not want to hype myself here, so i won't say too much.
 later that year my 12" on Black Monolith came out, which was again a bit different than my earlier releases, because it was an Hardacid/Acidcore EP.
 2002 was also the year when me and Sampler19 started the "All-Out Demolition!" parties in Hamburg. later, DJ Escada and The Man Unknown joined our crew there, too.
 the idea of All-Out Demolition! was to create a party series for the extreme, interesting and experimental types of Hardcore and Breakcore - parties for that type of sound only happened very rarely in Hamburg back then.
 in 2003, an album by me was released on Widerstand records. but again, i do not want to hype myself too much. the sound was in the various "styles" i produced in so far... breakcore, noize, ambient...

today the styles of the music i produce include breakcore, acidcore, doomcore and dark ambient.


influences on my work include: william gibson, stanislaw lem, bruce sterling, franz kafka, max stirner

musical influences include krautrock, postpunk, new wave, detroit, rave, acid house, classical avantgarde, dark ambient, industrial, chiptunes, gabber, hardcore techno
