Blind Test // 90s Gabber #2 - Episode 22 (Electronic Beats TV)
For this 22nd episode of Electronic Beats Blind Test series we journey into the world of gabber music, a sub-genre of hard techno which found its origins in Rotterdam and Amsterdam in the Netherlands at the beginning of the 90’s. The sound is often personified by up-tempo high-octane beats, distortion, twisted samples, and dark melodies.
To participate in the episode, we invited The Hague’s Happy Hardcore hero Charlie Lownoise, Ruffneck/Enzyme Records boss DJ Ruffneck, Dutch hardcore veteran and Mokum Records regular Chosen Few, the Godfather of Hardcore Marc Acardipane, cult favourite, radio presenter and DJ since 1984, DJ Dano and lastly Femanyst, the Hard Techno guise of California’s The Lady Blacktronika. We put all of the aforementioned to the test with a selection of 90’s gabber cuts selected by Dark Raver to see if they can recognise them, as always join in the fun, and see how many you can guess yourself.
Please note that this video is not filmed in real time. It’s edited to create some tension so that you in front of the screen can guess as well. It doesn’t say anything about how fast the participants recognised the track etc.
All contestants receive one point for both artist and title correct, but only half a point if they can only guess the artist or the title.

A little Gabber story from the producer of EB.TV and all the Blind Tests: This is the original of the 3rd Euromasters single www.discogs.com/de/release/293011-De-Drie-Van-De-Benzine-Pomp-Rubbish It was a big joke and just made for fun. Paul Elstak got one of the limited whitelabels in his hands and as I knew him already from DJ Gigs he asked if he can release it on Rotterdam Records. So I went to Rotterdam and we did a rework of all tracks and they turned into the 3rd Euromasters single. It's still a joke but was a big seller in the netherlands 😂 Discogs says: Whitelabel only, limited edition 350 copies Track "Doei!" samples the Euromasters tracks "Noiken In Die Koiken" and "Oranje Boven", both released on Rotterdam Records in 1993 as Rot 021 "Oranje Boven". So don't trust Discogs as it was the other way around 😉 PS. this Discogs comment says it all: Sounds like a pisstake on Rotterdam Records but both tracks are HARD and the pressing is LOUD. Recommended!

Hardcore in the electronic music scene has been so pushed back that it's disgraceful... Sure techno and trance are very popular but hardcore has its own culture... I'm so glad to be here part of the scene and have been a part of it since 1991... So many styles have changed my passion for hardcore has never changed

In one of the blind tests one of the contestants closed his eyes (I think he was a he) and with his fingers he air-flipped through his DJ Box looking for the record. Absolutely amazing moment.
I was born in ‘95 but gabber is my favorite genre. It’s so fun to see legends react to some of my favorite songs 😈 Beats time, xtc love, mind controller, up, and name of my dj are played daily
gabber time is anytime and anytime is gabber time!!
Those last 2 tracks brought back so many good memories.
I like Alpha Juno's for that sweet raving Hoover.
Fascination is one of my all-time favorites! And then Rob Gee! RIOT SQUAD! Awesome! Fuck! I gotta listen to somw old skool gabber tomorrow.. It's been far too long.

What a time that was to be alive. Walking home back from the long night in the city, with the giant ass headphones looking straight like an alien that came from another planet, walkman batteries dying out, that Chosen Few track plays at 20% less bpm.But you just keep marching forward. Thunderdome - XXII got me into it with the guy strapped into an electric chair, bought it and never looked back. So many gems on that compilation alone>.. The Horrorist - Flesh Is The Fever Flamman & Abraxas Mix, Bass-D & King Matthew - The Power Of Bass, The Illegal Alien - Don't Tell Me What To Do. Later when i discovered Killing Playground, happy rave, terrordrome it was already too late for me :) Technohead - Mary Jane will prob play the day when I die.

I loved NIN, ministry etc.... saw a 2xcd compilation called ‘industrial f**king strength’ and it blew my mind.... I then searched out the Mokum ‘fxxxking hardcore’ and ‘welcome to the terrordome’ compilations..... then in 1996 I discovered digital hardcore recordings.... the second Atari teenage riot record ‘future of war’ distilled all I loved about gabber, punk rock and industrial...... it’s a different world nowadays for kids, things are collected together in one place online.... not like the old days of indie record shops, gigs, raves.... when like minded people came together and formed friendships and mini communities..... 🥺miss those days
