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.
@@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?
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!
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…
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!
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
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!
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
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! 👍🏻
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.
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.
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.
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.
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👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️🇮🇪
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.
I used to work in Delft/Rotterdam in the early '90s (I'm English) and you could hear this crazy beat coming out of the late night bars on every street it seemed.
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
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
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
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!
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!
That was fantastic. You were totally speaking my language with that track. My tastes have mellowed as I've got older but the hoover sound still rings my bell. I loved the creative use of the MS-20 too.
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...
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.
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
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! 🙏
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.
This surely gives me nostalgic feelings to the 90's. I remember seeing a documentary on the Dutch TV about gabber and DJ Ruffneck was showing how to do those sweeps on the mixing desk to make the tracks interesting.
@@larsbwk if you want to see an update on what had become of some of the people in the original documentary, there's also a follow up (in Dutch) from 20 years later ruclips.net/video/AX76eM-esOo/видео.html
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!
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!
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!
I MASSIVELY love this! As a kid in here in Denmark the 90s I spend all day, trying to make Hardcore on my old x486 in Fasttracker2. I had perhaps 15+ Thunderdome albums, and even a few VHS of the Dutch gabba parties. I even got a ID&T t-shirt I specially ordered from Germany (before the internet) and it cost me an arm and a leg. I got it framed, and had it on my wall for a decade. This video took me back to that time, and I thank you :)
Back when Kicks actually had some body to them, instead of just being a "beep". I was born in 91, so not really in the age to be around when it came up, but i got in touch with that style in the early 2000s. And i always had a soft spot for it. Great video!
I'm to young to have witnessed the early gabber scene myself, but I really enjoy a lot of the music inspired by it (modern hardcore, frenchcore and stuff like that) - I really appreciate the history lesson! :D This sound still slaps today \m/
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!
Belgium is like the grandfather of all those genres, glad to have witnessed all this in person starting with the New Beat in 1987 ( A Split Second - Flesh, slowed down to 33rpm)
Gabber is typically not something I would care to listen to or really learn about. But I’m glad a decided to watch this random RUclips recommendation because I now have a new appreciation for it thanks to your passion for its history and production techniques 🤟🏾
Chosen Few - name of the DJ 3 steps ahead - in the name of love Sequential one - dance Leviathan - yes/no Beyonder - the wish Just some old-school tracks I love!
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.
"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

@Mr. Sophistication if this music does not give you goosebumps, it's not for you, move on, goodbye

obviously not
check out Mokum records, they've been putting out a lot of releases in the early rave style for the past years.

If someone said this was a gabber track from like 1996 I would of believed them, incredible job!!
As a music lover I really appreciate the time you spend explaining the history behind the music genre
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! 👍🏻
Painbringer is wel goed (mocht je die nog niet kennen)
Ik hoorde laatst een hele goede track, maar ben de naam vergeten.. beetje kutverhaal. Iets met een X in de naam volgens mij
Mijn nieuwe tracks gehoord? Early Rave op de echte oude manier!
The sound of electronic chaos, perfect fit for this era of revolutionary mind-blowing electronic technologies.
909 kick with overdrive sounds amazing 606 kick works just as good too but definitely need them 909 hats
Wow! I wish people were still producing this kind of music :(

brilliant equipment u have
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!
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 ^^
Superb video mate! We loved a bit of this stuff in Scotland.
Bert pounding the drum at 13:04 as the tune is thumping... perfection!
ArtCore vibes right there!
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 video Very Ruffneck 👏👏👏❤ raving lunatic ❤
Been a bit of resurgence in interest for gabber recently thankyou for doing this not many tutorials on early gabber out there
My pleasure
You know a Gabber Tutorial is legit when the jonge spreekt engels like this
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.
oh man my first album was rave massacre.. this made my totally remind of this.. bedankt !
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!
I MASSIVELY love this! As a kid in here in Denmark the 90s I spend all day, trying to make Hardcore on my old x486 in Fasttracker2. I had perhaps 15+ Thunderdome albums, and even a few VHS of the Dutch gabba parties. I even got a ID&T t-shirt I specially ordered from Germany (before the internet) and it cost me an arm and a leg. I got it framed, and had it on my wall for a decade. This video took me back to that time, and I thank you :)
Protracker, fasttracker, impulsetracker, that was the way to do it indeed
Back when Kicks actually had some body to them, instead of just being a "beep". I was born in 91, so not really in the age to be around when it came up, but i got in touch with that style in the early 2000s. And i always had a soft spot for it. Great video!
just in time tho for when hardstyle still was good
Kicks today are too "round", they miss the punchy click. The 909 kick will always be the best one.
Which track has a beep for a kick?
Who doesn't like a bit of Gabber every now and then? Awesome!
Kan zo released worden op Dwarf Records! Nice job.
Kan ik ergens een demo naar toe sturen? :-)
Like the street fighter sample, reminded me of mind of a lunatic
I'm to young to have witnessed the early gabber scene myself, but I really enjoy a lot of the music inspired by it (modern hardcore, frenchcore and stuff like that) - I really appreciate the history lesson! :D This sound still slaps today \m/
I really had so much fun watching this video and hearing the Track ... good ol' days 🥰😂
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!
Belgium is like the grandfather of all those genres, glad to have witnessed all this in person starting with the New Beat in 1987 ( A Split Second - Flesh, slowed down to 33rpm)
This is identical to rave if the drop was a breakbeat. It's almost uncanny valley hearing with this beat! Good vid
i love everything about this video, thank you for making it!!!
You’re such a legend of a producer!
Bloody hell! I was transported.
Gabber is typically not something I would care to listen to or really learn about. But I’m glad a decided to watch this random RUclips recommendation because I now have a new appreciation for it thanks to your passion for its history and production techniques 🤟🏾
Chosen Few - name of the DJ
3 steps ahead - in the name of love
Sequential one - dance
Leviathan - yes/no
Beyonder - the wish
Just some old-school tracks I love!
the best video to understand this genre
Me now running down to the basement: "Where're all my records from the 90s!"
aaah, that lovely bassdrum. I've missed it for so long.
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.
@@forkless hmm interesting thank you for the information
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.
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"
Very high quality and informative video!!
Wo! Very cool great vid and tune thanks!
