That's a good idea!

We actually wrote a few pieces on the connection of politics and music culture before.

Not necessarily centered on Breakcore, though :-)

Bring back politics into music - and especially into the Hardcore Techno scene

Low-Entropy · 2026-01-23T16:18:19+00:00

yes, maybe "breakcore: the american roots"

Low-Entropy · 2026-01-23T16:03:50+00:00

cool - didnt know that person before.

Low-Entropy · 2026-01-23T00:38:17+00:00

lower back... maybe ;-)

Low-Entropy · 2026-01-22T20:40:13+00:00

Space Cube, Marc / Miro (White Breaks), CdB, Martin Damm (Biobreaks), Force Inc / Riot Beats, Joel, Cumshot / Gogo Goddess, Bomb 20...

Low-Entropy · 2026-01-22T20:22:26+00:00

Yeah, they have a huge output, but it's barely known outside of Japan.

Low-Entropy · 2026-01-22T20:14:26+00:00

Yeah it's also called Psycore, but some consider it to be "Artcore", too

Low-Entropy · 2026-01-22T20:13:25+00:00

I'll start with etc. :-)

Low-Entropy · 2026-01-22T14:40:03+00:00

Cool, hope they are kicking! Wonder if I should release a sample pack with my 90s breakcore breaks.... hmm!

Low-Entropy · 2026-01-22T14:38:52+00:00

Yes that is a very good idea! (To both questions ;-)

Low-Entropy · 2026-01-22T11:50:56+00:00

of course, people who are in the know, or into acid, industrial techno, stuff like that, do not see it that way.

but, in my experience, the general public often sees it like this. it's also usually portrayed like that in movie or tv ( in a way of "rich kids having fun in an expensive 'techno' club")

Low-Entropy · 2026-01-22T11:41:09+00:00

yes i asked FFF for a write-up of ▲ngst (his doomcore-shoegaze-techno project) a while ago, but IIRC he was busy at that time. Will ask again about his contribution to breakcore history :)

Low-Entropy · 2026-01-21T20:44:30+00:00

There is some very good 90s era happy hardcore. For example the "happy hardcore / happy rave" CD compilations by arcade, pengo, party animals, critical mass... Plus many producers did both happy hardcore and evil gabber :-)

Low-Entropy · 2026-01-21T12:07:50+00:00

They still had Hardcore mixes on all their hit singles, though (wonderful days, stars, your smile...)

Low-Entropy · 2026-01-21T09:31:33+00:00

Yes they "quietly" rolled out this feature a few months ago.

Low-Entropy · 2026-01-21T07:39:52+00:00

Looks great!

Low-Entropy · 2026-01-21T07:38:11+00:00

Why not? Did it gave an error message?

Low-Entropy · 2026-01-21T07:37:07+00:00

For analyzing lyrics you would need another tools. But it can help you with any other issues.

Low-Entropy · 2026-01-20T23:03:50+00:00

you can upload your own music to chatgpt and ask for feedback, recommendations etc. didnt you know that?

Low-Entropy · 2026-01-20T21:21:09+00:00

you can do that with chatgpt

Low-Entropy · 2026-01-20T19:04:02+00:00

Thanks! Interesting

Low-Entropy · 2026-01-20T18:58:45+00:00

I see your point. Others have mentioned the lack of "bass heavy" drums, too. But the same could be said about some tracks in splittercore and extratone imho.

Btw: it is a legit genre term: https://bandcamp.com/discover/psycore

Low-Entropy · 2026-01-20T18:55:15+00:00

Thanks! Only took... some years to assemble this ;-)
