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. 00:00 Intro 00:17 Round 1 01:25 Round 2 02:51 Round 3 03:56 Round 4 05:33 Round 5 06:42 Round 6 07:52 Round 7 09:22 Round 8 10:30 Round 9 11:37 Round 10 12:49 Score #blindtest #electronicbeats #gabber Need more Blind tests?
