My favourite styles of hardcore are the original breakbeat, bouncy techno and Dutch gabber. They're all hardcore to me but certainly in England it tends to mean just the one thing. Which confusingly to some would now be termed oldskool. I also have a passing interest in makina :facepalm:drcarlos":16i0jgmu said:Hardcore definitely early 90's, all but gone by '95 as the music evolved and diverged into Happy and Drum and Bass changing the whole scene with it.

95 still had massive events but the split was there, some happy stuff was good but for me the start of the decline was Toytown. It was then a race to the cheese. I sacked events in 96, and started again in Holland in 08. Now I concentrate on buying the old breakbeat stuff we didn't get in Scotland but some of the prices are mental.
