After 2 already quite exhausting parties, we finished this year’s party season early at MVZ in Jena. The night was not the smoothest in our history, but in the end we all had a very good time. Again, the lineup was so on point. For this edition we put all the focus on industrial hardcore in all its glory. While we sadly cannot provide all the sets of that night, we have at least something for you that leaves no room for discussion. The set by Aura Kamikura is such a beast. Effortlessly, it meanders through the industrial remains of […]

Even though the recorder somehow quit during the night (we feel you), we could capture some absolutely noteworthy sets from an incredible event. It was a blast from the beginning to the end. Special thanks to LXC for recording and preparing the files! Seriously what a night! Of course, in the name of everyone I thank everybody for this great unforgettable party. The vibe was excellent and as far as we can tell, you thought the same. Such an incredible crowd and unmatched lineup. All the acts of the night were outstanding. I rarely have witnessed something similar in a […]

Wow, honestly, who would you have guessed that this is actually happening? Forbidden Society is coming back to his roots. No shit, on December 5th he is going to release “To the Threshold Part 2”. Sadly, we don’t have the album to review, but this mix is already a nice peak into the future. If you like the old Forbidden Society crossbreed stuff, enjoy extremely loud mixdowns and love metal snares then you should have a good 30 minutes ahead of you. Enjoy the mix, while we have to wait patiently for the album! BARCODE RECORDINGS · Filthcast 058 featuring […]

There are not that many DJs that are playing in a league of their own. The kind of set Baseck and Flapjack ripped at Warp mode is just something else. Everyone who digs hardcore and scratching most likely would agree here that this shit is the shit! On 4, yes f-o-u-r, turntables they deliver a set that is unmatched in every way.

As one of the most interesting contemporary hardcore heads out there Starving Insect kills it every time. Even a black hole shines bright in comparison to this guy’s selections. You can perfectly check this out on his Harmony of Hardcore set from 2024. With more than 2 hours of solid darkness, he showcases all the good shit hardcore has to offer.

Even though he has been around for quite a while, especially recently Krytikas’s tracks and mixes had a lot of impact. The most recent recording from a party is no exception. This mix reminds me of some good old hardcore drum and bass parties. The sound and the tracklist are great, hard and in your face, but not too much for the dancing crowd to bear.

Whenever you are in desperate need of some hard slamming amens, you know that you can always turn to Smyla. His latest promomix shows his extraordinary breakbeat programming skills and the variety of musical influences he draws from. Sure a mix worth tuning in! Varispeed · Smyla – Varispeed Promo Mix 2024

The Kapotcast by 100 Kilo Maarten blends perfectly old and new styles. The mixing is on point and the selection is just fabulous. Just jaw breaking industrial Hardcore from the front to the back as we all love it!  Mental Wreckage · Kapotcast.13: 100 Kilo Maarten (Jan 2024)

Pretty decent mix by Starving Insect. It features mostly slower Hardcore and hard Techno. The selection is really diverse and worth every minute.   HardSoundRadio · Starving Insect – From The Deep Part 10 On HardSoundRadio – HSR

Butterfist has had quite an impact on the scene recently with releases on labels such as Industrial Strength, Oblivion Underground or Prototypes. If you are into modern hardcore, you should listen to the set without hesitation. The mixing is on point and the track selection is very well thought out. TOXIC SICKNESS OFFICIAL · BUTTERFIST / ISR RADIO #69 ON TOXIC SICKNESS / DECEMBER / 2023

Right before the year ends, the Dekmantel Mix from the DJ Producer came out. And as with every DJ Producer mix this really defines new standards. The mixing is clearly amazing and the tracks are nicely selected. The set’s quite diverse and shows a lot in little time. dekmantel · The DJ Producer at Dekmantel Festival 2023

This is definitely a true X-Mess gift. The Teknoist recorded an outstanding mix. The tracklist primarily deals with breakbeats within the higher BPM range. But there are also lots of kicks smashed together, so no worries, you’ll get what you want. Moreover, there’s an interview with the Teknoist on Feel My Biceps. In this interview, he talks about his DJ setup and what he’s up to. Apparently, you can only download the mixtape from the FMB homepage.

If you are also here for the more historical pieces, then this might be of interest for you. The Outside Agency just started their Crossbreed Legacy Series. For the first episode they arranged a journey through some of the material that influenced the Outside Agency back then. So, as you may have guessed already, they know how to pick some quality tunes for their personal history lesson. 00:00 DJ Luna-C – I Know U (D’Cruze Remix) [1993]03:29 Hardsequencer – Hypnotizing Unhappiness [1993]05:49 Pinhead – Slammin’ Beatz [1993]07:20 Hardliners – Motherfuckin’ Breakbeat [1993]09:07 Citrus – Fascination [1993]12:00 Defqon – Brainwasher [1992]15:19 […]

The next mix is really fallen out of time. Well, literally… It is a recording of a DJ Scud set from 2018 and seriously breathtaking. You’ll have a hard time finding anything that compares to this. I’m very impressed by this incredible piece of art. The progression of the mix is so nice, it’s really pushing boundaries. Sure, it’s partially very experimental, but isn’t that also what we’re here for? Apart from this mix, it’s also highly recommended to check out his other sets on soundcloud. There’s a lot of cool stuff to discover. The sets a very thoughtful und […]

The latest PRSPCT podcast is a live recording from PRSPCT XL earlier this month. As always, Li-Z delivers pretty neat transitions with all the weird music in the world you can find. Her mix really shines thanks to her extraordinary great taste. Especially the breakbeat lovers will enjoy this, but not only them. There’s also a lot hammering hardcore in it, too 😊 PRSPCT Recordings · PRSPCT PDCST 090 – Li-Z live at PRSPCT XL32 Hellfish – Severe BreakageAnna Morgan – GraceErik Burka – VentspillHeadbanger – Sweet DreamsThys, Nicholas Thayer – Go AgainJuggernaut – XTC MotherfuckerEprom – RemorseSamurai Breaks – […]

Here’s a live recording of Nihil Fist’s DJ set at Fuckparade 2023. Obviously, it’s noisy as hell and for those of you who dig Speed- and Splittercore. Definitely not for the faint-of-hearted, but it’s Nihil Fist, so what else would you expect 🙂 Nihil Fist · Nihil Fist – DJ-set @ Fuckparade'23

Nekrolog1k has always been a splendid address for hard electronic music. For a Hong Kong Violence party, label owner Ak-Industry played a set to remember. It’s been on heavy rotation for quite some time here and is a must have for industrial lovers. The track selection is magnificent and shows the diversity of Hardcore. Nekrolog1k Recordings · AK-INDUSTRY @ HONG KONG VIOLENCE IN SEDAN (Neks BDAY Bash)

The second mix for Praxis records by 0bleak showcases a broad variety of abstract electronic music from all over the globe. This diversity is also represented in a very tasty tracklist. The mix really dives into an otherworldly environment, unknown the most of us yet. But even though there’s so much to discover here, you can find structure everywhere. Sometimes extremely mutilated, but apparently, it’s necessary. Oh yes it is!

It’s so good to hear some new – well, or to be precise old – stuff from Paul Blackout. This highly gifted DJ has not only an unprecedented taste in music, he also has the skills to knock out any other DJ. The mix is labelled on Soundcloud as early Crossbreed, but it’s definitely more than that! Only bangers ahead, so buckle up!

Every now and then everybody needs some quality roughneck Ragga Jungle tunes. Alzoc III is not only a fictional planet, it’s also the alter ego of Vincent van Sloth, who’s widely known for his Breakcore fever dreams. In stark contrast to his previous releases, this release on UKJ, goes back to more classic breakbeat mutilation business and sounds like an authentic mid 90s piece of jungle. The release is at least as massive as 3 times the Mount Everest, but maybe a bit more approachable. Or is it? UK Jungle Presents: Alzoc III – U Devilz EP by Alzoc III

The Relic’s mix for Hidden Room nearly 4-hour journey into madness. The track selection is on point and the mixing is tight. The overall theme is dark and it’s packed with acid lines. In general the mix meanders between hard techno and rock solid hardcore. The Relic · Hidden Rooms' "Passion Doesn't Pay Mix P12" 01. Kontain – The Cold Face02.

As for the start of a new mixtape series from the Disconnect/Praxis guys, Saxenhammer provided some carefully selected tunes. The set can be considered a rough trip through the electronic universe.

It may come as a surprise that we post such an old mix, but then on the other hand, why not? It’s a great mix by none other than Mark N himself. This mix really sums up how relentless and unforgiving hardcore was 20 years ago. There are people claiming that you can find copies of this mix lying on certain servers. I would not recommend to specifically look for them on well-known internet search engines.   So anyway, it’s a great historic mix that should be played at every occasion on full blast 😊 dj.mark.n.australia · DJ Mark N […]

This producer mix from Indian Junglist is a total blast. High paced breakbeats, crazy fast kick drums and tons of ravey vocals make this mix a no brainer. This is must for dancefloor oriented destruction. And let’s be honest, nothing beats mashing up everything you can get your hands on. And Indian Junglist definitely delivers, no doubt! (I wish I had a cat sticker here) Also mad love for the Olive remix. _ TRACKLIST _Indian Junglist – Acid Shivers (SuckPuck Recordz)Indian Junglist – One Spliff for the Landlordy (unreleased!)Indian Junglist – Creeds – Push Up (Breakcore Edit) (self released)Indian Junglist […]

Hmm, maybe: “Let the kickdrums speak for themselves”. Yeah, that defintiely sums it up nicely. I don’t want to waste too many words on The Destroyer. His works need no introduction. Get prepared for musical madness in its purest form! Tracklist: S U R V I V A L · The Destroyer Live @ We Cause Violence

Pretty cool mix by Miyuki Omura. I kinda have the feeling that we will hear a lot about her in the upcoming future. Actually, you can already witness her talent here.
