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!

The Slowcore Compilation

This Is History (Slowcore Intro) (4 BPM) (DCR 163)

OPERANT - TRAUMKöRPER LP [IOD050] 
500 vinyl on Purple crystal transparent w/ insert, 100 CS and CD. 

As an outfit that has existed on the fringes of the club scene, Operant continues their willingness to break genre taboos and expectations with their debut LP, Traumkörper, exhibiting a hybrid vision of electronic and organic elements that gives rise to a sound self-described as somewhere between extra-terrestrial black-metal, singularity-sludge, proto-psy-trance, anime noise-core techno and auto-tuned trap-folk. 

These disparate methodologies are bound together by the conceptual elements that operate at the core of Operant’s thematic universe: the transcendence and destruction of the body, consciousness melding with machines and the manufacturing of new realities. As a blueprint to new forms, Traumkörper sets a path both disorienting and euphoric. 

Over the course of 11 tracks the Berlin based duo and operators of record label, Instruments Of Discipline, Luna Vassarotti (IT) and August Skipper (AUS) birth their dream-body, an unsettling soundtrack for the strangeness of our times.

Sun Was Licking [Dogs have no idea (GXN03)]

FROZEN ISOLATION 1

@noahstas is the moniker of Bence Barta visual artist, member of the art collective MŰTŐ.

Black bile is a bodily fluid - one among the four Hippocratic humors (together with blood, yellow bile, phlegm). In this theory the imbalance of these fluids could cause illness and disease: black bile was considered to be responsible for depression and melancholy.

The album is centered around self-repression: the disturbing mental states which indicate unsolved tension in one’s psyche, the hopeless urge to control these torturing inner dynamics, in vain. Exhausted in this process the subject dissociates and collapses. Then, by mobilizing a significant amount of willpower the psyche is ready to stand up from the breakdown - only to repeat the cycle.

The material was recorded live at one take during the lockdown in an empty art space - it was captured using tape loops, drum machines, analog synths, lots of feedback and a microphone to give it a spatial atmosphere.
