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.

Ah shit, look at this. Promo released a ton of material on the Third Movement. The first thing to mention is clearly the rerelease of his own album “Last Men Standing” from 2001. But there’s way more than that. On this release you can also find a ton of additional material. So instead of the 16 tracks on the original album you now have 44. Apart from that, there are also two additional remix EPs. Personally, there was not too much for me on the releases, however since there was so much material, I found a handful of very good […]

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 – […]

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!

Doomsday Conduit on Acroplane Records is the latest installment by the brothers Paul & John Healy better known as Somatic Responses. As usual they show great taste in heavily distorted soundscapes mixed with some of the strangest acid lines you’ve heard so far. And of course, not to forget their breakbeat-wizardry that really drives the tracks through several dimensions. The album is an insane trip with 10 equally enjoyable chapters which all sound very inviting – and always different. Some of these chapters are darker and rougher than others, but in general the overall theme appears to be very glitchy […]

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!

Well, the waiting is finally over! Even though the world is shattered to pieces, there are some things that help you deal with all the bullshit. And this album is definitely one of the silver linings on the horizon. After a slight delay, the Silence present their first full-length album. Words like mind-blowing couldn’t even describe what the album achieved. This is hardcore at it’s peak. It has everything, features old and new, and manages to be innovative at all points. The sound design is just brilliant. Distortion never sounded any better. This clarity and production value is outstanding. Apart […]

As probably everyone of us is now familiar with the disruptive power of AI technology, we entered a new stage of technical evolution. And this of course does not only concern visual arts (and everything else). Equally, you can now create music with the help of AI and even though the results vary a lot regarding quality, this has come a long way and will evolve much further in the upcoming years. So anyway, a few days ago we had an email from Low Entropy in our inbox. And while we are still wondering what AI can do when it […]

After his first album “Unboxed” on PRSPCT last year, Tripped came up with another full length release just recently. Even though the first release was very impressive, the second one lifts this bouncy in-your-face Hardcore style that Tripped is famous for on a new level. It’s great to see that his style develops continuously, but you can still recognize his signature sound. The album features 10 tracks, including a pretty noisy intro with a savory kick drum filter extravaganza. As this sets the tone for the rest of the album, the tracks on it cover a bright palette and include […]

Technically speaking this is not a new release. Instead, it’s a rerelease of an absolute classic EP by none other than the Outside Agency. After nearly 2 decades these tracks finally see the light of day again. I personally waited for a proper digital download forever – basically since the day I discovered the release. Originally it was released on Hong Kong Violence in 2007, and has been unmatched ever since. The sound design with it’s Kung-Fu samples is just bonkers. The release sounds still super fresh and even in 2023 there is nobody who could compete with TOA in […]

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.

It’s rare that you come across some music and think: “Wow, that’s really something else!” of course “Sustained Resistance” by Maelstrom & Louisahhh is not entirely new music, but the way this duo combines different strains of music and weaves them together into a seminal piece of art (well, it’d dare to call it that way) is simply amazing. The tracks themselves are emotionally charged amalgamations of hard electronic music. You find traces of so many different genres here – luckily, only the good ones. No seriously, it’s absolutely worth listening, especially for those of you who are looking for […]

Neurocore always had his signature sound that cannot be compared to anything else in in the Hardcore world. This wonderful exception to the rule features sonically diverse and mesmerizing sounds that will drag you away from what your everyday experiences might have to offer. The tracks are produced with great attention to detail. It’s very outer spacey, deep and thoughtful. Sometimes slow, sometimes fast, but all the time very convincing. At times it feels like a movie soundtrack with its sensitive soundscapes. A very beautiful release that stands alone in the universe with music that meanders from super silky sounds […]

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 […]

The latest album by Void settler “Bell, Book & Candle” came out recently on the Third Movement and is definitely one of a kind. The album feasts on so many musical traditions, but breaks and rearranges them all the time. Obviously, you find traces of hardcore and tons of distortion everywhere. But apart from that, the record also features gothic soundscapes, orchestral elements and choirs from hell. The musical structures of the tracks do not follow any conventional formula. And this is what makes the album really stand out. It’s demanding, it’s really questioning your listening habits. But it always […]

The new or more precisely first album by 10 CLS has been around for quite some time already, but there are tons of reasons to shine light on this outstanding release. The mastermind behind 10 CLS is also known to the broader public as Ophidian. And this alone should ring a bell. He is one of the most impressive electronic producers of all time and moreover always interested in creating more and more projects, diving deep and deeper into musical realms that take you farther and farther away from your genre specific comfort zone. But enough about the artist, what […]

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. It’s absolutely recommended to hit that button. Tracklist: 01. Miyuki Omura- ID02. Cancel – Silent Treatment03. Ghost in the Machine – Ball Collapse04. Yumeo & Shimon_ Harbig – Throne05. D.

For our 200th post we have something very special for you. Lot’s of people are crazy ingenious when it comes to mutilating breakbeats, distorting kickdrums and most importantly disturbing the peace. But even if there are many great producers out there, nobody does it like Deformer. This guy offers a whole universe of aesthetic, atheist aggression which remains unmatched. His album “See, Hear, Scream” is more than an “album”, it’s a best of and beyond. A showcase of Deformer’s musical endeavors which already have started in 1993. It’s unbelievable how much these productions stick out even when it comes to […]

This Ableton mix by Doomham – and it’s apparently the last for now – is offering tons of diversity. From drum and bassy stuff to crossbreed and into the core territory – this mix has it all.

There is a new monthly radio show from Terror Noize Industry on Toxic Sickness. It will be aired every first Sunday of the month. It’s, as you can expect from the label, focused on hardcore in all its facets. So far, there has only one show been recorded with Guest mixes from Bassick and the Gabber aka DoublEE. Both mixes are very cool and can be definitely recommend. We are looking forward to hearing more of the show! Love Music. Hate People. #001 by DJ Bassick & The Gabber aka DoublEE You can also download the mixes from Toxic Sickness […]

It’s becoming increasingly rare that you listen to a release and think: Wow, that’s something else, but it still feels familiar. And I think this is what Slave to Society achieved here. The release sounds really fresh even though it heavily feasts on the sound of hard Drum and Bass, Jungle and Core abominations. It’s an innovative release that features not necessarily only dancefloor material, instead it offers cozy soundscapes you want to wrap around your body like a warm cover. Yeah, or whatever makes you feel comfortable. It feels unique, not just formulary as a lot of modern electronic […]

The most recent release from Marlen on Motormouth Recordz is just a neat, banging hardcore/hard techno release that is as uncompromising as it is rough. Of course, hard music gained a lot of momentum recently, but not much overcomes the generic same wannabe hard mentality. This release is again an exception to the rule. Marlen only released on Motormouth Recordz as far as I found out and all the releases sound very good. I did not hear much from this producer yet, but to me personally the sound sticks out from the average “just make it hard and pretend it’s […]

Ever heard of Sieben Stein? Well maybe you’re from Germany or a German speaking country and remember that children’s TV show with the crow, but this guy here actually is Matt Green and not a puppet. The Name should ring a bell as well as his record label Corrupt. This new Bitter 9 release on Motormouth Recordz follows a pretty raw and oldschoolish approach. And it works. No question about that. I also like the nonsense titles – or fake German compound word stuff, you know what I mean. Bitter 9 by Matt Green as Sieben Stein Btw. there’s also […]

This album by Zenith is not only one of the most remarkable in the Industrial Strength catalogue. It is without any doubt an absolut outstanding and rare piece of art. The album was originally released in 1999, however some featured tracks already appeared on an EP on ISR in 1996. And now we finally see a rerelease on the Industrial Strength bandcamp page (Actually, the album was previously also available from other stores, but we simply prefer bandcamp). All the tracks show how futuristic hardcore can be. Maybe it’s not the hardest release you’ve ever heard, but Zenith shows how […]
