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!

Split EP between Lkpas and Atrys. Lkpas brings some cut-up songs, from Breakcore bordello to Industrial Ambient... Dry textures reverbless... On B side stands Atrys, an experimentation that brings real honnest beauty, melting harpishchord, violins, electric guitars and effects... Plus somes good electronic Bass.... That B side is a superb thing... sometime dropping into abstract Hip Hop like for B2 (Mer Des Energies)... Last track is also fat, with its electric guitar loops... This is Music. Thanks to Marasm for having the bollocks to put out these super record.

A massive release from France is here!
Slowcore Records is the label for all slower Techno and Hardcore styles. While, for example, the Low Entropy releases showcase slower Doomcore, or other releases also showcase slower Industrial, this release is about a more experimental approach to slow and hard electronic music.
Low tempo Hardcore meets influences of Dub, French (instrumental) Hip Hop, Noize, and a heavy dose of old and new Tekno and Free Party elements.
So, if you are bold enough to hear something new in Slowcore, take a look at this release!

The most unusual release on Omnicore Records so far?
We are proud to give you this split EP by French producer LKPAS, who has also released on Slowcore Records before, and hiroshi matsui from Japan.
LKPAS' side is very down, dirty and distorted, bordering on Slowcore, Dub, "Teknival Rap" and Hardcore from France (not Frenchcore!). Gritty and rough. As well as including a more reduced track that employs a Piano!
hiroshi matsui's side is more upbeat and cheery in comparison. Sounds that could fit well to a video game soundtrack, but that are also very innovative and daring at the same time, with traces of Oldschool Drum'n'Bass, IDM. Bleeps and noises that make well-crafted tunes.

So, these are split sides that each go their own way, but when combined, result in a complete EP of connections and interrelationships.

...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
