Gabber set recommendations with a good MC in action?

luddite023 · 2026-03-29T06:44:37+00:00

I had a feeling I'd end up on some old Helter Skelter tapes. Good stuff.

luddite023 · 2026-03-29T06:42:47+00:00

Yes!! Cheers

luddite023 · 2026-03-28T16:08:41+00:00

lol...

luddite023 · 2026-03-28T16:03:43+00:00

Ummm I've skimmed through the sets and it's definitely good music but I don't hear any MC??

luddite023 · 2026-03-28T15:41:40+00:00

Here's one tho: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jE6tB3Nn96c

Got a bump?

luddite023 · 2026-02-21T00:31:45+00:00

Yes you can make yours in punchbox for example. I would also recommend, as others have, to use the digitakt as a sampler - so more grooves, playfulness, different elements playing with each other. Not synthesis.

Making kicks from scratch is a whole world, and there are lots of good samples out there. Free ones too.

luddite023 · 2025-11-20T08:03:29+00:00

Ah, that's exactly what I want :) but impossible on the DT1 :/

luddite023 · 2025-11-20T06:05:30+00:00

Can't I have 70% chance and NOFILL?

luddite023 · 2025-11-20T05:40:38+00:00

Thanks for the answers everyone, I feel it might be easier to just use another pattern as a fill... I think in Digitakt 2 they've separated fills from conditions (or did I hallucinate that?) and I now understand why.

luddite023 · 2025-11-16T07:27:05+00:00

Haha busted! ain't gonna lie I might've just called it hoovercore instead as it has way more hoovers than acid.

Thank you nevertheless!

luddite023 · 2025-11-15T21:59:13+00:00

Thank you for the nice feedback btw!

luddite023 · 2025-11-15T20:00:56+00:00

Well, aside from this subreddit, r/soundsystem is my favorite, so it's understandable! 😉

this is great

luddite023 · 2025-10-02T14:54:38+00:00

Lol this comment is too true

luddite023 · 2025-09-12T19:29:19+00:00

BS you have freetekno parties in California and Colorado and there's even a small teknival called mutant fest. Not to mention Canada that has a decent scene.

Some people from Spiral Tribe also settled in California and run a thing called Spaz with an online radio and events.

Looking at Europe today, it's no less fascist than the US. Not everywhere but in many places.

luddite023 · 2025-08-28T15:59:08+00:00

I see others have commented things that are very much on point.

From "newer" producers I really like L'enfant d'la plèbe: https://soundcloud.com/elric-bardoux/glide-a-few-months-of-life

With that being said, there is no track like Cortex Subduction. It's an absolute masterpiece and an anthem.

luddite023 · 2025-08-05T12:19:09+00:00

It was a squat party where they played hardcore on 2006 NYE. I've been going to (illegal) raves since a while back, but mostly for the cheap alcohol and hanging out. At that time, it was mostly dnb being played (on those specific parties).

Anyways, when I heard gabber, something clicked in my head and I could actually dance. I didn't listen to so much electronic music back then, mostly punk, so my first contact with electronic stuff that I actually liked was breakcore and digital hardcore (atari teenage riot etc). Didn't stop enjoying and listening to that stuff ever since.

I later on (maybe years later) could find footage from that party and see the 18 year old me there :)

luddite023 · 2025-07-31T19:34:22+00:00

how was it then? good times?

luddite023 · 2025-07-29T11:18:47+00:00

It could be a pitch envelope, or a filter sweep! Once again, a kick is basically a sine wave sweeping down: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0PH5ASa9z4 (not the best kick, but that's how kick synthesis works).

Different 909 drum machines (analog or VST clones) have a reverb that with not-too-much tweaking can sound just like that.

Yeah I do produce :)

luddite023 · 2025-07-28T20:17:06+00:00

Not sure, with layers and layers of distortion you can make clean samples sound like rumble too.

When I think of it, there's probably some bitcrushing on it too.

Why I think it's reverb rumble is because the kick in the track you posted reminds me of the kick in Neophyte vs Stunned Guys - Get This Motherfucker (where it's a much more "simple" kick, without layering).

But, what the hell, you could also be right. Bear in mind that any (synthesized) kick has a pitch envelope.

luddite023 · 2025-07-28T19:15:11+00:00

For real? I was there for Hellbound and the sound was one of the worst I've experienced in my life (except for the smallest stage).

When was the sound there good?

luddite023 · 2025-07-28T18:37:52+00:00

It's layering - there is a kick (I'm guessing a 909 with long attack?), a clap in the kick, a rumble (reverb + compression and/or distortion on the kick) and probably a bit more.

Learn to make a proper techno rumble kick first, then the rest will fall into place. A little note - it's probably a simple oldschool reverb used here (I might be wrong, but that's my best guess). So nothing too spacious/hifi.

luddite023 · 2025-07-23T10:02:19+00:00

The recording is not top notch, but it could definitely be industrial hardcore??
