Where do I find hardcore/gabber with more repetition?
I’m coming from techno and have been getting more into hardcore/gabber lately, but there’s one thing I really struggle with.
I love the vibe and the energy, but I can’t really get into tracks with 10 breakdowns, constant kick changes, fake drops and a new idea every few seconds. I’m looking for something more repetitive and hypnotic, where the groove just keeps going.
A lot of newer hardcore honestly feels like it’s made for people with no attention span. Every 4-8 bars there’s a breakdown or the kick changes completely, sometimes it genuinely feels like music made for TikTok/IG
How far back do I need to go to find hardcore that’s more repetitive? Is there a specific subgenre or era I should be looking into?
Any artists, labels or tracks I should check out?
