How does it differ from melodic acid/acidcore? Is it a specific style of it?

Also is my assumption that the origin of this style/subgenre is the Sköne's album with the same name correct?

Is there any free parties or tekno parties happening this weekend in milan?

Hi! I usually play music with my Pioneer FLX4 but i would like to play some tekno live music with a machine. May u suggest me some of them?

https://on.soundcloud.com/Kjvp8 It's all played live with my modular system which I build to mainly to do hard Kicks ;)

Happy about any feedback!

Hello!

Couple of days ago I met someone who is somewhat known in the scene and he showed me his machines & how he uses them.

I was already familiar with send & return but didn’t know how to use it or how it works. He showed how it worked. I think it was jack from korg rmk to somewhere in mixer and then back into something else but can’t remember it.

Can someone please explain to me how it works?

I’m thinking about buying a rmk to use it as effects for my other machines or in the “mix” as one says.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,i wanna ask if somebody got useful Plugin for Tekno Tribe ,and for Distorted Mental-Tribe,i always ask to myself how artist like (Neurotribe,sevenum six)to do that sequencing and balancing Acid Melodies,distorted vocal and synt … Or Synt and Fat Bass like insane teknology Thanks

we alluded to mental health topics in the past.
and indeed, "mental illness", insanity, psychological derangement is one of the major recurring themes within hardcore music - and the hardcore community.
the relationship between art and, let's say, "mental conditions", has been documented for a long time in human history, and it is often concluded that this combination can be quite beneficial and healing - to everyone involved.
hardcore techno occupies a special location here, though:
this is not about sitting down and drinking herbal tea or doing yoga, while listen to relaxing "eastern-sounding" ambient recordings and an european-born "guru" telling you to chill the *** down with sour-sweet words.

these artists and tracks give mental health the hardcore treatment. it's an exacerbation of the highest degree and definitely should not be taken at face value, literally, or too "serious" (humor is a great form of therapy, too!).
it's like being shown a very distorted mirror (and the volume levels in these tracks are very distorted too, as i can assure you).
because many people who listen to gabber house tracks about some wicked psychopaths will probably think "hey, my own mental issues, like anxiety at the supermarket or being depressed about my body image, seem quite little compared to the issues *these* folk have".
and this can already be quite relieving to know.
so this stuff should not be taken too serious, this music should not be seen as encouraging or promoting wickedness.
there is a lot of humor involved - a healing form of humor - but yeah, mental health *is* a heavy and serious topic, so take these things with caution.

let's give a trigger warning. this is some *deep* stuff ahead that might feel traumatic or scary to some people.
go on at your own will, at your own cost, and treat this thing with care and in a responsible way.

So let's look at some example tracks now:

1. Critical Mass - Psychotic Break (Lenny Dee & Strychnine Remix) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tc_u-nIw3XA "...having a serious psychotic break"
2. Delta 9 - Phreaked - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvEw7T9-iDY "I'm freaking out man... I need medication..."
3. Asylum - Mescalum https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZbmhWRXXHU One of the earliest Hardcore tracks... and it's already about an asylum.
4. Turbulence - The Home Of The Sick https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOukQpTKU2E A home for the sick could be a hospital... or a mental hospital.
5. Collective Strength - Family Affair https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wv6Vn7nUkGA Highly disturbing!
6. Disciples Annihilation - You're Dead https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDDqd9i4oEo evokes sentiments of the overlook hotel...
7. Violent Agression - Shizoid Fukd Soul - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYhRwvNsxn0 german language, sorry... but... "i am not insane! you must listen to me before it's too late!"
8. Mescalinum United - Light Bringer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItEQBcOzr84 "the first sign of psychosis is a christ complex"
9. FFM Shadow Orchestra - Killing Zoo (Cleaner Edit) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFxC8KLbi6I "you feel as though the rest of the world is in a bubble of glass and that you're rubbing up against it like a bad windshield wiper."
10. Ralphie Dee - Mad As Hell https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeY3OWLdEH0 "this is mass madness, you maniacs!"
11. The Kotzaak Klan - Sikk! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cX0ltdbPSQ "a sick man... mentally sick".

So i recently stumbled upon Raggatek. While I'm not a big fan of Raggae I dig the positive vibes the music has. I searched around a little for more Tekno that has a similar good mood feeling to it but was not really satisfied with the results. I found a subgenre called "happytek" which gave me a few promising leads but I'm just not deep enough into Tekno to be crate digging succesfully.
So I call upon you fellow redditors to give me hints of artists, records or labels to check out.
For reference: This is the set I found that got me searching...

Since I am procrastinating right now anyway, let me paint you a word-picture of what I am looking for:
Imagine it's 10am on the third day of a smaller festival, located on a coastline in a warm place. You and a few mates spent the night having a good time and end up on a Floor right at the beacht. Might look something like this (only the rig might be a little bigger - shoutout to Roots Explosion Soundsystem though). You feel tired but temperatures climb above 20°C (68°F for you imperials out there) and energy crawls back into arms and - more importantly - legs. The two reasonable mates, that went to bed around 4am, return. They put a cocktail (which was not even expensive, since it's a community driven festival, not a corporate money machine) in your hand, it even has a slice of orange in it - "for the vitamins" they tell you. They also rolled a spliff, ready to fire up.
You overhear the group next to you discussing that at 10am the Soundsystems are allowed to return to full volume after having had to quiet down a little for the night. The DJs (it's a b2b) obviously know about that too. They carefully chose a track for this very moment and they chose perfectly. You direct your attention towards the speakers and realize: a massive break is creeping up onto the unsuspecting crowd. You just know the sound-technicians will crank up those 21" subs (I know there are none in the picture above but HEY - this is MY imaginative rave moment!!). The break approaches it's peak, some more people have caught on what is happening. There is a slight vibe of excitement on the floor, more and more people direct their attention towards the Soundsystem. The clouds open up, a single sunbeam shines upon the stage, people close their eyes and face toward the warmth from the sky. The beat is about to drop, you just know it, most of the crowd knows it... you can almost grasp the anticipation... 4 beats of silence, nobody talks, everybody feels that something great is about to happen...
And then there it is... An explosion of sound hits a few hundred ears at the blink of an eye. Everybody is synced by music for a few seconds. People exclaim in joy, colors seem to shine brighter - a new day on the festival has begun... and you know it's going to be a good one!
____________

THAT track is the kind of track I'm looking for...

Thank you guys in advance, back to work now

Gotta open your mind 4 this

New fucking album!!!

Tanzel/tekkno/tekno/doomcore by a friend :)

After traveling europe and getting to experience the dance music culture out there i lust so bad for freeparty. Im trying to push it in my city (denver) DJing and hopefully one day building my own system, but for now id love to see what people are doing in the country. I heard of mutant fest which i will definitely have to check out, but is there anything else going on?

Here it is: Synths, Drums, Basslines, FX - everything you want! 160 files in total, dry and wet mixes of the sounds.

The Pack contains:

20 Drums

10 Basslines

5 FX Basslines

12 FX

23 Synths

1 Entropy Sound

Note: These are not ready-made "loops". You likely need to cut the samples before you can use them. All sounds run at 126 BPM.

Feel free to use the samples for any public, private, intimate, or commercial purpose.

Would be cool if you credit me, but it's not necessary.

So, without further ado: Enjoy!

Get the samples here:

Digitakt or Korg electribe sampler 2? Which one would you recommend to get as first machine?

Hi there! This summer I was at a party where they played a tekno version of careless whisper. I've been trying to find it, but haven't had any luck. So it's a long shot but perhaps some music nerds here could help me out? Thanks!

Hello guys. I just wanted to know if can suggest some of your favourite acidcore tracks that are just really good to listen to.
