@@Estuera I prefer breakbeat over gabber, but cool beat bro. :) Can you try combining breakbeat with old-school Oliver Heldens future house synths/bass next? Future Breaks?
whaddya mean, "not good for radio" on late night community or pirate radio, banging the choons hard midnight to dawn thursdays telling' ya the toll number to call to get the location of the event they're playing at come tomorrow morning at 4?! ;-)))
We need to get all them fossils out and make a radio station that would play stuff like this and other electronic music. Then again, nobody listens to radio these days.
It is the music that made me really look into how it was made and this is how I first learned about 909's, the Alpha Juno, Akai samplers, ... So yes, even though I never actually released any real hardcore myself and have been very deep into the trance scene it will certainly always have a special nostalgic place in my heart :D
This surely would have been a great track on "Thunderdome 8" or "Earthquake 5" with a title like "Estuera 909 - Raving Lunatic (Streetfighter Mix)"! And I absolutely love it!
YES DUDE!!!! Of all the 'hardcore' or 'gabber' tutorials I've seen on youtube, you're the ONLY one who actually nails it! Excellent job man, you did wonderful!
This is phenomenal. As a kid, i listened to so much gabber and this absolutely nails it - sounds like something straight off of one of the Thunderdome compilations!
I made all of my Hardcore Releases back in the mid 90’s basically like this. First I sampled everything and put it in an Amiga 500, later with a TR 909, 2 Alpha Juno’s, soundcraft Ghost and a Sampler. Only thing is, the Alpha Juno can make the sound you made with it on its own. Just take the ‘What the…’ preset it has built in. Change the beginning and the end, and voila, the ‘Dominator sound’ straight out of the Juno…
Me: Let's watch this video even though I'm not into early hardcore/gabber anymore, just for nostalgia sake.. .. Also me after wathcing the video: Scrambles to find all the stowed-away Thunderdome CD's
Gabber influence is sneaking its way into the techno scene nowadays, and even though I was never into gabber itself I’ve been really enjoying what artists like VTSS have been doing with it
@@ZombiesWerePeopleToo think it started sneaking in a few years ago tbh. Almost feel like it's got nearly mainstream enough that people will start rejecting it again haha and so the cycle continues
Lekker hoor! De meeste producers van tegenwoordig die de oude stijl proberen terug te halen zijn om te janken, maar met deze track kom je wel heel dichtbij het echte geluid van toen! Bedankt hiervoor! 👍🏻
4:20 wow so they overdrove the kick right in the mixer? I always assumed they used a pedal or rack unit, explains why the old school kick is so uncoloured though.
It was both or either. The big thing was back in the day the average producer didn't put nearly as much effort or complex thought into the sauce on the kick. But to say that people weren't plugging in guitar pedals in the 90s would be completely wrong. They also had DAWs back then. Akira was producing on some box in the 90s... not an Amiga, I forget the name of it. Either way, the sound was different back then even in digital because the digital stuff just wasn't on a quarter of the level it is today.
They used to do the same thing with D+B bass lines too. There's an old clip of edrush and optical talking about overdriving the gain on their analog makie mixer with a bassline, recording it, then running back through the same channel and doing this several times to get the grit they wanted.
@@randyrankin682 Most likely an Atari Falcon (a souped up 1040ST), which was quite popular back in the day in due to supporting MIDI IN and OUT natively on the main board.
I honestly lose my mind when I realise people use crazy chains to make a "coloured" kick. I don't know man all this processing to have something I found really boring. A 909 kick drive into an analogue mixer just kick ass.
Had my mouth open the entire video -- everytime you created the sounds, all those hours i spent in the 2000's listening to this music, it all came back. I got more into new retro wave, vaporwave, and the explosion of indie music in the past decade so its been awhile since i've ventured into the early hardcore music. Going through all of Thunderdome back in middle school was one of the greatest musical moments of my life, as well as experiencing new releases in the mid 2000's with things like Masters of Hardcore. I even have old recordings i made of Masters of Hardcore radio from 2004, which i often listened to in school -- In america, this music is essentially non-existent, so it felt like i discovered some other world when i found this style of music on the Winamp ShoutCast stations. Thanks so much for making this video! never subbed faster in my life lmao. At some point i'd love to own a lot of these synths and musical devices you're using, to at least preserve or try my hand at shaping the magical vibe of gabber into some new shit.
Brilliant flashback to the 90s.... Feels like it was yesterday and you made sound like it was yesterday too.... Brilliant work and a brilliant track ... Pumping good .... Well done Jonas ... Loved it .... Now I really want a Disco Buiscut....lol👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️🇮🇪
I never liked Gabber but still found this fascinating. I suppose when Gabber was getting popular, I was fully in on Jungle at the same time and honestly had no interest in anything with a 4 on the floor but now that I'm older I appreciate a much wider variety of electronic dance music styles.
It still is being made theres lots of classic hardcore gabber tracks being made checkout rotjecore records gabberhead records no new style records mokum records total destruction records i make classic hardcore and sometimes gabber tracks all 90.s styled on labels like rotjecore records and other labels so the 90.s sounds have not gone away also ruffneck records is throwing out the real classic dutch hardcore sounds again 🙂👍
You really nailed this sound.Gabber was massive in Scotland when I was a teenager and this really takes me back to bouncing like a lunatic all over the place! 😊🎶 Great times
@@Ravinstomper Bouncy techno was old Scott Brown though he made gabber too. Paul Elstak was a fan of Brown's Shoop and Evolution releases and started to make similar 'fun lighter' stuff by 1994-95 (Forze, Babyboom, etc). Ruffneck (big in Scotland) called his stuff artcore though few used that. / A Scot who went to Rez, Fubar, etc. back in the day. Great days.
OK guys who had "Gabber comes back" on his 2021 bingo card? Awww shit... here we go again. Will play it on the next party and it will be an instant hit :D
Damn i grew up in Parkzicht. Entered the place first time the second summer of love 1990 the sammy or samiakjes era. There where pool parties in the back and foam parties inside it was a 'different' sort of cool club right next to a landmark the Euromast. There was a tuff crowd. Rotterdam was always a city of hard working people as a worldharbour town. There was a football hooligan connection aswell. This place parkzicht WAS the place where Gabber was introduced check Parkzicht 1992 is for You. Ofcourse ther was labels everywhere quik.. But it started in Frankfurt (hardcore) and Rotterdam (gabber). And i was luckily there. Im 50 now stil dj and have a spaceship music studio with 909 and 303's ect to play with on my atic)) In my opinion Dj Rob was THE dj when it came to mixing back then in Holland.
I remember when my homie Nick dropped Euromasters “alles klaar de kote “ (spelling? I’m not Dutch) in a club on Long Island. Half the crowd went batshit for it and loved it. The others stood in confusion. RIP Nicky Father Fingers-[Disciples of Annihilation- Industrial strength records].
Yeah, alles naar de klote (everything "to" pieces) is a classic, especially that farmer at the start ("Rotterdam, Amsterdam, ik wee' allebei niet waar da' ligt") is iconic
I don't like that genre but your video is awesome. Also, next time you want to find a phrase from a movie, find the subtitles (often .srt file), open in a text editor (notepad will do), search for the text, and look at the timestamp.
After a visit to the Netherland I came home with a thunderdome compilation and well. I was hooked. This was pretty much in the same lane. fun to see how it was made. Never did any drugs, but doing exercise while listening to hardcore was my thing.
From the title I was expecting something on hardware only :D like we were back in the 90s, but at least it's already mostly machines, and only a tiny bit computer. Good job!
Some of the best gabber was made in recent years imo. I recommend anything by Azrael, and after checking out some of that check out D.O.S. by Azrael-II
This takes me back to my days, on my 486 with gravis ultrasound card, loading the samples up in Fast Tracker 2, it was awesome, i made many tracks.. only shared with friends tho... i wasn't bad but too shy to ever produce.
nice vid! i used to have a stack of thunderdome cassettes when i was a kid in the 90s, wish i still had them. i loved artists like rob gee, neophyte, da predator, omar santana, rotterdam terror corpse, inferno bros, the stunned guys, etc etc... great memories! a personal fav was - buzz fuzz - destroyer, absolute classic
Holy crap man, this is awesome! This could have been on any Thunderdome CD, really good. Oh, how that Juno still shreds.. Really good stuff! Would love to see you do a more recent, industrial-styled hardcore track. Subbed!
3:03 First of all: greatings :) Sadly I'm not wealthy enough for hardware... any way to get a similar sound out of a VST? If so, which one would you recommend?
One of my fav genres gabber finally demystified for me. To think the kick has just been from a drum machine this whole time kills me instead of some over engineered synth sound, but it makes so much since.
As usual, a stellar track using the compositional elements of the original genre. Well done. Even the pitching up and placement of the Street Fighter movie sample was spot on. I have watched so many hours of movies and television shows to find little bits from them to sample after seeing it the first time in some random out of the way location or at some unexpected time.
Really late comment but i love the passion that shines through for the genre, However the Street fighter sample reminded me that there was another track that used the Exact same line as well, It's called "Men At Rave - Raving Lunatic" haha
Echt een van de meest underrated producer channels op youtube. k kijk heel erg tegen je op betreffende je kennis van de genres en productietechnieken van mijn favoriete genres. topwerk man. dik respect van mijn kant hier! fantastisch werk, serieus! Jonas je bent één van mn favoriete producers :) Je laat alles zo simpel lijken, maar dat is het niet en je nailed het gewoon. Al stelt het voor jou misschien niet veel voor; geweldig man, echt! Ik kan niet anders dan genieten van je videos terwijl je vertelt wat je doet ❤ ook je 'videoclip' erbij is gewoon fkn perfect oldskool man damn. zo random, zo idioot, damn (dat bedoel ik op een goede manier!). het klopt gewoon ❤🔥 dit is het ECHTE geluid van toen. jij bent een OG producer!
Great track. Sounds like back then. Gabber is insane! ♥ And man, the visuals are priceless! Your music and videos always put a smile on my face, and this one is no exception. Love this channel! 🙏
Okay. 3 things. Thank you for keeping history of 90' s rave culture from being lost. Also, I have the TR8S, and I am so happy to have more people to learn off of. Lastly, I just went into debt to buy an Elektron Analog Heat mkII, and it has a notch filter that you can assign the LFO to, so thanks for the breakdown!
im from uk , started listening to hardcore hard trance in like 1994/5 on rave tapes , first rave was in jan 1997 , gabber (didnt know it was called that back then) we called it all bouncy techno lol was and is my fave along with belgium/german trance sound this tune is basically made from then , you could say to someone listen to track i found from 1995 and they would believe you 100% banging dude , love it subbed off this alone
5:22 Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I've been waiting for this man! Brilliant, you totally captured the vibe. Also, this is one of the few genres that really benefits from overcompression. I think you could've pushed the master even harder for that tighter hammering sound.
You can call the music genre whatever you want, and you are most likely right, but to me that was some of the best old school techno I have heard in quite a long time...and the music video you made for it was perfect.. Makes me want to pull all my Techno-Rave collection CD's out of the closet now...I have dozens of them...
Brings me back to 20 years ago, hearing this music all around me as a kid in The Netherlands! I was wondering what you used to get the classic downsampled sound for the voice sample. Is there a specific VST or is it created through a chain of effects?
It's an option you can set in the Cubase sampler track. 'Vintage mode' This basically plays it with a low bit rate and sample frequency the same way the old Akai samplers were doing.
You’re amazing. Very happy I found you. Would love a video where you turn your whole setup around and show a detailed review of how you patch all your synths, drum modules, fx boxes, midi boxes, mixer, computer all together! Great job!! Thank you!
Back in the days we tried to figure out how these signature gabba tunes have been created. When Thunderdome on Tour was at our place we spent more time spotting Gizmo and Rob Gee how they worked on their sets than actually partying 😅Man I should have watched this video back then!
In my early teenage years this music was one of the styles I listened to most and it pointed me towards taking my first steps into electronic music production. (Reading interviews and howtos from producers like Maurice Steenbergen in Thunder Magazine) So it was a genre I simply could not skip for this series :)
@@Estuera this is so cool, thank you for your content. I'm only 24 but gabber brought me in music production as well. i think that video is the one and only that is proper in the meaning of the gabber sound if we're talking about youtube tutorials. absolutely authentic!
Takes me back. Feels like about '96/'97 for me. Much reminds me of tracks of that era. I do think there might've been slightly more vocals in it at the time and the Bert and Ernie part feels a little out of place to me. Those are Nike Air Max BW (or Nike Air Max IV) specifically, these days unfortunately only found in special limited releases.
Honestly, I always hated gabber. Still do. That sound just doesn't push my mind into psychedelic spheres, that sound just takes a big hammer and beats me up. For me there's nothing that picks me up, gaining more and more intensity to take me on another level - no elegance, no slowly rising musical intoxination. In short: Gabber is nothing for pufaxx. Inspite of that, this video was great as always. So an honest thumbs up from me. Although I don't like the sound - well explained how to make these sounds. Great work.
Few day ago I stumbled across an old favorite brain-eater track oldie classic that I really, really love -> --ruclips.net/video/0WBk2MGzcX4-/видео.html- --ruclips.net/video/fEeZC938Xlw-/видео.html-
2 of my DJ friends were banned from playing in clubs in the UK because they played Gabber at 300bpm plus. even club Rampant banned them loooooooooooooool

"Certainly not radio friendly music at all." That's probably the best brief comment on Gabber I have heard.
Several gabber hits ended up in the charts in Holland. Rotterdam Termination Source, Ruffneck, Dj Paul... you name it

This one is dedicaih-ted to all the electronic music enthusiasts on youtube.
Really late comment but i love the passion that shines through for the genre,
However the Street fighter sample reminded me that there was another track that used the Exact same line as well,
It's called "Men At Rave - Raving Lunatic" haha
Haha amazing. I didn't know that track.
Well, it _is_ a great sample for a hardcore track, that's clear :D
Echt een van de meest underrated producer channels op youtube. k kijk heel erg tegen je op betreffende je kennis van de genres en productietechnieken van mijn favoriete genres. topwerk man. dik respect van mijn kant hier! fantastisch werk, serieus! Jonas je bent één van mn favoriete producers :) Je laat alles zo simpel lijken, maar dat is het niet en je nailed het gewoon. Al stelt het voor jou misschien niet veel voor; geweldig man, echt! Ik kan niet anders dan genieten van je videos terwijl je vertelt wat je doet ❤ ook je 'videoclip' erbij is gewoon fkn perfect oldskool man damn. zo random, zo idioot, damn (dat bedoel ik op een goede manier!). het klopt gewoon ❤🔥 dit is het ECHTE geluid van toen. jij bent een OG producer!
Dank u!
+1 top kanaal gozer
Great track. Sounds like back then. Gabber is insane! ♥ And man, the visuals are priceless! Your music and videos always put a smile on my face, and this one is no exception. Love this channel! 🙏
Okay. 3 things.
Thank you for keeping history of 90' s rave culture from being lost.
Also, I have the TR8S, and I am so happy to have more people to learn off of.
Lastly, I just went into debt to buy an Elektron Analog Heat mkII, and it has a notch filter that you can assign the LFO to, so thanks for the breakdown!
My pleasure!
even included "Dimitri" again !!!!
Wtf I just watched the street fighter movie last night. What kind of glitch in the matrix is this??
🤔
909 kick with overdrive sounds amazing 606 kick works just as good too but definitely need them 909 hats
im from uk , started listening to hardcore hard trance in like 1994/5 on rave tapes , first rave was in jan 1997 , gabber (didnt know it was called that back then) we called it all bouncy techno lol was and is my fave along with belgium/german trance sound
this tune is basically made from then , you could say to someone listen to track i found from 1995 and they would believe you 100%
banging dude , love it
subbed off this alone
What did you lower the bitrate on the amen break to? And do you know how I could do this in Ableton? Thanks
In Cubase it's an option of the sampler track.
You could use a bitcrusher plugin for the same result.
5:22 Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
I've been waiting for this man! Brilliant, you totally captured the vibe. Also, this is one of the few genres that really benefits from overcompression. I think you could've pushed the master even harder for that tighter hammering sound.
Well in this case its the distortion on the kick that works as compression as well. Quite easy to make these tracks really loud 😁
Nice dist :-) I did it the same way, but used 2 analog mixers and a tr-8
Still feel sorry for the neighbours ;)
9:54 DHS ^^ i'm exited ! 50 dollards or more ! i love this track so mush
I have all about Bonzaï and co
Hello from Belgium ^^
You can call the music genre whatever you want, and you are most likely right, but to me that was some of the best old school techno I have heard in quite a long time...and the music video you made for it was perfect.. Makes me want to pull all my Techno-Rave collection CD's out of the closet now...I have dozens of them...
i love everything about this video, thank you for making it!!!
dit is fucking gaaf ❤
sounds about right. nice use of the MS20 btw, I actually have the MS10 myself
I have a Mackie CR 1604 mixer from the 90s and it does this distorted kick sound very well.. alot of times, when not even desired (; lol.
Almost sold my Juno 1 with PG-300....thank God my wife didn't let me.
Me now running down to the basement: "Where're all my records from the 90s!"
I remember liszening to TDXVII .... on my discman... and I slept welllll
Sounds really great ! As a huge Gabber fan since I was a kid, I really enjoyed the song.
Takes me back to picadilly key 103 hardcore hour with Stu Allen, RIP
Brings me back to 20 years ago, hearing this music all around me as a kid in The Netherlands! I was wondering what you used to get the classic downsampled sound for the voice sample. Is there a specific VST or is it created through a chain of effects?
It's an option you can set in the Cubase sampler track. 'Vintage mode' This basically plays it with a low bit rate and sample frequency the same way the old Akai samplers were doing.
@@Estuera thanks for the reply! I don't use Cubase, does you know any third party plugin that has a similar functionality? I use FL Studio.
A bit crusher plugin should also get you there with the correct settings.
Or you could export the audio in 12 bit, 22khz.
Cymatics Origin is a free plugin that has a downsampling knob
that is WELL SICK!!! I may play around with my Roland SH201 and see what I can mash up!
YESS!!!!!! GABBERR
As a 90s hardcore and gabber dude I'm just grinning like a fucking idiot at this. Fucking yes man!
This is identical to rave if the drop was a breakbeat. It's almost uncanny valley hearing with this beat! Good vid
Great video Very Ruffneck 👏👏👏❤ raving lunatic ❤
You’re amazing. Very happy I found you. Would love a video where you turn your whole setup around and show a detailed review of how you patch all your synths, drum modules, fx boxes, midi boxes, mixer, computer all together! Great job!! Thank you!
Nike Air Max to be more specific :), I was one, I was there, I remember. And this would be banging back then!
Very high quality and informative video!!
90's Hard-Trance or Late 90's Acid Hard Trance video like this would be appreciated!
Extra authentic: Getting the real 90s vibe by using Cubase!
(This is not a bad thing.)
- ravin' Lunatic...
- OF COURSE!
Great piece of work! What took you longer? Editing the final music video or composing the music track?
I think it was about equal in this case. I had to watch almost all of Streetfighter though to find the sample, not counting that time :D
I watched every single batman movie one after the other, JUST to get a 10 second sample I liked for a tune! XD "The fire's rising"
Back in the days we tried to figure out how these signature gabba tunes have been created. When Thunderdome on Tour was at our place we spent more time spotting Gizmo and Rob Gee how they worked on their sets than actually partying 😅Man I should have watched this video back then!
Does anyone here remember the compilation album by Omar Santana called Hardcorps? It wasn’t all gabber, but had some dark twisted gabber tracks.
SICK!!! respect for knowing what actual early hardcore/gabber is!!
In my early teenage years this music was one of the styles I listened to most and it pointed me towards taking my first steps into electronic music production. (Reading interviews and howtos from producers like Maurice Steenbergen in Thunder Magazine) So it was a genre I simply could not skip for this series :)
@@Estuera this is so cool, thank you for your content. I'm only 24 but gabber brought me in music production as well. i think that video is the one and only that is proper in the meaning of the gabber sound if we're talking about youtube tutorials. absolutely authentic!
Oh I know where I've heard the Amen break...
Like 3 different tracks in Unreal Tournament lol
Nice stuff, brings me back to 1995! Want to know what made 2 unlimited so good, I mean they were leaps ahead of a lot of other eurodance groups.
We used to blast Twilight Zone in my jeep every weekend when we went out. Good times.
Takes me back. Feels like about '96/'97 for me. Much reminds me of tracks of that era. I do think there might've been slightly more vocals in it at the time and the Bert and Ernie part feels a little out of place to me.
Those are Nike Air Max BW (or Nike Air Max IV) specifically, these days unfortunately only found in special limited releases.
Honestly, I always hated gabber. Still do. That sound just doesn't push my mind into psychedelic spheres, that sound just takes a big hammer and beats me up. For me there's nothing that picks me up, gaining more and more intensity to take me on another level - no elegance, no slowly rising musical intoxination. In short: Gabber is nothing for pufaxx.
Inspite of that, this video was great as always. So an honest thumbs up from me. Although I don't like the sound - well explained how to make these sounds. Great work.
Few day ago I stumbled across an old favorite brain-eater track oldie classic that I really, really love -> --ruclips.net/video/0WBk2MGzcX4-/видео.html- --ruclips.net/video/fEeZC938Xlw-/видео.html-
yeah it only works for me if it's properly dark and abrasive
like early hardcore from germany or wherever
That's because it's not euphoric trance mate, it's Hardcore Gabber lol 😂👍
@@2theCore777 it's also no front 242
@@heartache5742
Who's 242 ??? 😂
2 of my DJ friends were banned from playing in clubs in the UK because they played Gabber at 300bpm plus. even club Rampant banned them loooooooooooooool
Been a bit of resurgence in interest for gabber recently thankyou for doing this not many tutorials on early gabber out there
My pleasure
brilliant equipment u have
