- After receiving many requests for this one, we finally deliver! With episode fifteen of our ever popular Electronic Beats Blind Test series we shift focus to the early nineties Hardcore / Gabber Sound. Joining us is Dutch Gabber Godfather Paul Elstak, Industrial Strength legend Lenny Dee, Dutch Hardcore connoisseur The Darkraver, Polish eastern rave revivalist Wixapol, New York-based DJ, producer and radio host Kilbourne and living hardcore encyclopedia Gabber Eleganza.
As always follow along and see how many records you can name, kick back, enjoy and stay safe out there.
Please note 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 each for getting both artist and title correct and only half a point if they can only guess the artist or the title.

This vid is even better / more passionate & they knew! Lenny Dee forever; Kilbourne female force; Darkraver ;D
Love these hardcore blind tests, it is great to test myself with the tracks I played out for the first 8 or so years at parties in Melbourne
So is hardcore cool now?
@@bambam5am hardcore is always cool 😎
Gabber is so amazing 💪❗❗
Absolutely lovely that you're tackling so many genre's and not just do the most popular genre's on repeat
100% i explored so much new music watching these
Agreed, I don’t really like anting that I heard but I’m more knowledgeable for hearing it.
Need some Mákina up in this playyyyyyyyyyyyce
@@bitumenboyy Haven't you heard of my music yet than , gabber
Nice that you explored so much
should have played some more artcore
So much fun that afternoon, drinking tea like old grannies and listen to hardcore. 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀
Gabber till i die
Much love Mr. Alberto
Lol tea and gabber lol
love you enjoying that fill in chosen paradise! xD
Hardcore ohne Ende!
Isn't it the part of the elegance?
(masked guy) “ruffl whog whoa eh urgg”
Damn, the old tunes sounding so much better than the new Hardcore. They are more aggressiv, more fun, more happy and my face just magically starts smiling.
Less manly, less muscles, just fun! I love em so much!
I think we're all trying too hard nowadays. Trying too hard to look cool, extreme, handsome, unique or whatever. Enjoying ourselves and sharing, that may be the antidote. Cheers.
@@mhv91 💯 agreed
Uptempo ruined it! 😆😆
They're made with love not to score a hit or please a wide audience.
There was no niche to fill or criteria to meet back then. Now we know what hardcore etc is, you have to have certain things to fit into it. So people end up trying to hard to fit into it rather than doing something purely because it sounds good I think
as a thunderdome child i didnt even had to guess a single title....that was my episode guys! great.
Same, I knew them before they did lol 😂👍
@@2theCore777 these kind of videos are edited to give time also to who watches the video to guess the songs
@@2theCore777 Same here, funny watching them even have to think about Geleihoofd lol
Brain Crash is such a special memory for me, because we actually met Hardsequenzer at a computer party, where he was playing the songs directly off Oktalyzer on his Amiga on a giant set of speakers be had brought. We had no idea who he was at the time, I don't think his music bad been released yet. We were a small group of bedroom techno producers, and we were all completely blown away by the kind of quality he managed to pull off on this very limited hardware and software. It was a unique time and a privilege to randomly discover this music before it hit the raves 😄
Exactly !! 😉😉😉
@@HartRaver var du med? 🙂
Octalyzer & Octamed... I remember! Weee :)
@@skriptico even bigger for me was FastTrackerII on the PC - when the Gravis UltraSound came around, it kind of changed everything for us bedroom producers 😄
@@RasmusSchultz kan ikke huske om han var der,da jeg var med til amigatræf (The Party XX? )sammen med Henrik Nørbach og alle i andre techno tosser :D
'We have arrived' still hits like a truck after 30 years
So does 'Nightmares Are Reality'
I want to play it sped up!
@Cenk Akyol Air Bounce,
🫠😉
The Darkraver is the showman with super positive vibes ❤️
Let's wait for the first complainers, too easy, not enough hardcore, who are they, where is Marc Acardipane, why this why that 😂🤪
Why this why that though?
Yeah this was an easy one, but is always nice to listen to some hits.. waiting for the next hardcore blindtest
Let us NOT! Enjoy the driving force of awesomeness 😁👍💃
You got that wrong! Everyone is loving it. Gabber heads these days are just happy to take a break from listening to the Wiggles
Killer episode!
Some 90's Italian hardcore (D-Boy label ) would have been interesting too. ;-)
Love how hyped Darkraver is.
Saw Lenny dj at a party called jurassic rave in Sydney back in 94. One of the best sets I've ever witnessed...legend. Hardcore will never die!
Fuck yeah! Great Party in an awesome venue.
Life is a conflict between hard and cheese, within each set, within each producer, within each track. And hard does not always triumph.
More of this early hardcore please
Let’s see how it works and if there is enough interest
@@ElectronicBeatsTV this early rave is great for everybody!
Approving this, I can wait for another time for a part 2 ;)
@@ElectronicBeatsTV 75k views so I guess we get round 2. Pretty please :)
Of what?
Lenny Dee sampling pantera was such a move. Great introduction to hardcore, especially for this metalhead. Cheers
+1
Pantera is my favourite Metal band, along with Slayer. There are lots of sampling of those bands on electronic music. That means something! :)
30 years ago...still banging tracks
I'm here for the comments 🤩
Hardcore legend 👆
Probably you or lenny is going to win! Legends!!
And I'm here for your comments Steve 🤣🤣🤣
alle vertrouwen erin .hop hop gas erop !
🙌🏻
I remember when I was serving in the British army we would go to Holland to party. When I heard the ruffneck tune I took me back to autumn 93 when I went to an outdoor rave in doetchem it rained all night but what a night I’m nearly 50 now and I still have good memories great times never forget them.
Lenny Dee @ 10:35 ..." I should know this track, they took (stole) my kick drum " 😂👍👌
Wich makes me wonder if the judge was an alias of Lenny.. because apart from geleihoofd and the law, I don’t know any other tracks with that kick..
Me and all my mates had decks back in 95, 6 and 7 banging out non stop gabber going to north radical technology, technodrome, species best years I'm 45 now and still smashing the gabber
Respek to Darkraver for still having a memory!
Fucking Hostile. Always loved Lenny. I grew up listening to his songs while I was a refugee in Croatia. Since I came to Canada I traveled at least a dozen times to see him play.
Have you ever listened to the original "fuckin hostile" from Pantera? That's where the sample of the voice comes from. 😉
@@valentinobianchi5183 Of course. Him and Paul did another song called Anti Procrastination that they sampled S.O.D a NY trash band. I used to piss my neighbours with that one. Good times.
Industrial fuckin Strength!! 💪
@@someone28thanks for the recommendation!
I expected The Darkraver to make me laugh. He did not disappoint.
Held 😄🥳
🤣🤣
@@steveDARKRAVERsweet The energy is on point hahaha
beaten by one of my favorite DJ, I couldn't ask for better.
@@GabberEleganza_neversleep ❤️❤️❤️💯
Steve never disappoints he is just a freak :D I love him.
I experienced Lennys first hardcore appearance in Sterns in 92 and it blew my mind. Whenever he played in the South or London i was there. Sterns, Eurobeat 2000, those are some precious memories. London Gabber/Speedcore/Acidcore scene was a special time. Around Brixton with Dead by Dawn partys at the squat at Railton Rd, the Dogstar. Special times! 🔥🔥🔥
I'm not really into the hardcore/gabber scene but The Darkraver seems such a cool and passionate dude, I'd definitely go party with him. :D
i don't like the kind of hardcore he play, but he is a party master. he is able to really rise the vibes of a party!
Darkraver plays everything! He does livestream on FB, yt and twitch every week, twice!!! Watch on Wednesday for 70/80/early90ies, from disco to pop, from wave to newbeat and house... and on Thursdays for the harder stuff!
@@Fire-Queen That's pretty amazing, thanks, I'm going to check his livestreams out for sure!
@@Fire-Queen thanks man
My pleasure! He often invites guests over, now the lockdown is getting more relaxed, he'll probably go out and play more, but there are many to enjoy
Ow wow! Best 15 minutes of the week 😍
We need a Jumpstyle Classics blind test! :')
@@fredericsiemoneit8358 haha. Yessssss
Hardcore is the force that always kept me strong and fearless in my youth and it still does. ❤
Not my sound, but can relate to all their reactions and love of it. Music people is music people.
word!
True!!! Music people is music
Same here!!!! Darkraver is great!!! hahahah
I'm a Detroit based Electro/Techno/Acid freak, and this wasn't my kind of sound until I saw this video. Hardest, dirtiest, brainless and probably more synthetic-drugs related electronic music, but the positive vibes and the fun factor on this video, especially that guy, Darkraver hahahah
Notice all the booze left of him. Gotta love the gabber crowd
I still have my gabber vinyl collection roughly 500 pieces almost full catalogs of the big labels in 94/95/96 ... Ruffneck was always my top favourite
i think this is the episode with the higher average with TWO people over 8 ! That show what is dedication! Hardcore will never die, it just get older!
I remember visiting NYC in 1996 and asking for Gabber and Industrial HC in a record store in Manhattan. They treated me afterwards as if I'd have asked for babies I can eat. Almost got kicked out of the store. #hardcorewillneverdie 😁
i had almost the same experience in 98 in California ahahhaha
@@ManoloMacchetta Rotello in the USA
@Lofesr Cobja I remember I also planned a trip there, but with public transportation it was a nightmare to arrive
@@CenkAkyol Never played there tho :-|
Had to go to Sattelite or Sonic Groove records
I'm halfways in the video... Just stopped it to say thank you for this episode (also wipe my tears of joy).
You're very welcome
Their enthusiasm is so infectious that I dont even have to like this music in order to enjoy this video.
But i guess that is the standard of this channel. Well done once again!
I watch all the Blind Test videos just to get good "new" music (that I missed because I was young when this all came out).
Great, nice to hear
I’ve literally watch this episode like four times… Doesn’t get old! Reminds me of my rave days in 1994 in Los Angeles. This is such a fun group of people doing the blind test. I love all of your guests on every genre 🙌🙌🙌🙏
Whohooo one of the best blind tests ever!!! if you watch some of the Darkravers livestreams you should know this was to easy for him. What a LEGEND!!!
maybe next blind test a jumpstyle session? something for dj pat b, miss puss, dark-e and many more
I can remember when Darkraver got a hit in the Netherlands with Komt Tie Dan Hé. And I always thought he was like a music plant, like Vengaboys or something. But this year I found out he's the real deal, by stuff like his live streamed sets. And this confirms it, dude knows so much and enjoys every banger!
Great vid!
And was active way before Komt I dan he
This episode is epic and those guys are so enthousiastic.
Yea love the passion!
I love how The Darkraver is
I know nothing about hardcore, but I **loved** seeing the contestants have so much fun!
Just when i think i know some techno or house these videos really humble me
Most entertaining episode by far so far... So lovely to see them. Could have watched them for hours...
Agree, all of them looked like they were enjoying themselves and getting into the tracks. Cheers
So many good Blind Test Editions until now and finally you made the hardcore episode :-) great fun, thanks for that eb!
This is a genre of music where I would like to hear more classic tracks from
Last track - Mike Ink from 1993 - There is all in one track: Hardcore punch, lovely sample, crystal water, Acid 303!
We danced our asses of to this track and many others in that good quality! Man, I miss those days! 🍻
I mean, I love this concept 😍
Maybe an episode 2? 😏
Can't wait to see next episodes, thanks!!!
Boom Boom 🎶
There was no Nasenbluten because Telekom couldn't afford the vinyl :P
How do you know? Maybe next time you can help out 😂
Haha! I'm still beating myself up after all these years for giving away my Storm Records 001, not sure what possessed me to do so, that could have been my pension.
Lol..true that
lol thanks for that i didnt know it was worth so much. I have lots of bloody fist records i am about to sell. I even have white label stuff of bloody fist records. I also have heaps of tapes from bloody fist records. I think i have almost all of the bloody fist catalogue from 3 onwards. and a few storm records including number 1. I will post a link here to the ebay auctions when i sell them if anyone is interested.
@@BWPT. dude...me too
I say this for lots of these blind tests but this really is one of my favourites so far
As a Dutchie this was so nice to hear Hardcore/gabber
I work with kids and one of them is fond of gabber (even if he just calls it "techno"). I think I'll make him discover the tracks I heard here while I'll drive him to his school. Thanks for the insight !
Thank for not forgetting the genres that keep this music interesting!
Fun fact: (Round 10) is Wolfgang Voigt, who would make some fine ass minimal techno tracks round about the same time
and the monotone label it was released on was run by ingmar koch a.k.a. dr. walker of air liquide, djungle fever and liquid sky cologne
So fkn good. I watch all of these but this one is definitely the closest to my heart. Whoever is updating the Spotify playlist is gonna struggle with his one!
Memories of the techno basement at Diehard, upstairs at the sanctuary, obsession parties... brilliant =D
I love coming back to this episode it feels so emotionally involved, such an experience I hope you guys make more!
no doubt.. i'm back again for this energy and inspiration!
Nice one on the track selection, good memories right there! Hakkuh!
Ahhhhhh, this was well worth the wait!!! NOW PLEASE DO ANOTHER ONE!!! Gooo Darkraver!!!
You are the King💃🔥💃🔥💃
Yesss C tank hahaha perfect!!! the one record I've buggered him about for two years hahaha 😂🙈👍
Damn I love those blind test series. So much fun to watch, challenging but not too hard, can't wait for the next ones !
The reviewers are so much enjoying it. Lovely to see!
Takes me back to 1995/94. 14 years old listening to all my hardcore records. Paul Elstak was my favourite DJ/producer.
Great series.
Same here. He was my hero then. Where are you from?
@@johngalt4606 Sydney, Australia.
You?
Thanks for another fantastic blind test! We appreciate you all!!
Dark Raver after all these years is the coolest guy ever
VIELEN LIEBEN DANK...FRIEDEN und FREIHEIT...
So much pride for the goddesses Kilbourne and Lenny Dee! NYC!!!
Yes yes and yes love all the tracks takes me right back
Lenny Dee and Adam x on one show would be entertaining....that first track is 🔥🔥🔥
Chosen Few - Chosen Paradise sent some absolute shivers down my entire body man! 😄🔥
Al these tracks from the 90”” 😃😃😃 so many good memories
Big kisses to you! You made my dream come true! All Hardcore pearls from the early days! Well done! I was there! Best years in my life! ❤️🍻
Never cared much for hardcore, but, I did help Lenny Dee look for his wallet at a bar called Niagara on 7th and A in New York back in 99. So, there’s that. Ha!
You sure it was Lenny Dee?
Need more of these videos! So many legendary tracks and artists.
Man! The memories 😋
Great selection of these classics! Brings me right back to the Hellraiser parties👌🏻
such a great memories refreshment ! 90s back in the head :) Fraktal/45+8 south west France here x
I am in love with these videos. Found your channel because of a genre I like and have now stuck around to enjoy people who are passionate of their music.
Also... pretty educational!
There are 17 episodes already and lots of other videos
I still love that old clip of Darkraver playing at Ghost Town. Classic old skool UA-cam clip.
Good times. Lenny was a legend to party with. Enormous talent. And for those who don’t know he was also an awesome house DJI
Hahaha another great one! What a fun watch. I grew up hearing Lenny play all over the East Coast of USA, a true global legend! Respect to all the others as well. I love seeing the moments when their eyes light up.
This is gonna be good. Thanks for bringing these legends together for some good original content, Telekom
The songs and the guests, sublime
That opening PCP track has never been beat. I remember seeing them in London, I was nearly in tears 'cos they played all the R+S stuff, which at the time was not that popular in the UK so it was a rare treat to hear it loud.
when i see darkraver I said something like: he already won this hahaha
He is a really legend of the old school hardcore
Bruh even as a non gabber listener: the last track hit hard!
Lol! When I first heard Hardsequencer's "Brain Crash" I thought to myself something like "WTF is this supposed to be?" and later it became my favourite track on his only album alongside with "Hubahuba" 😂
I always preferred "Soundvibrations" (still could listen to this one ten times in a row), but those two are great as well.
Some of my favourite Gabbet DJs. Nice. 👍
These tracks are so simple to reqognize, just amazing! Got several mixes on yt with al these tracks!
Heard all of them, danced to most of them, can't recall 9 out of 10 titles. I wonder if there's a correlation? Great episode, brings back the memories
There is a correlation of course...wink wink...bad boi !!!!
So glad you put C-Tank on there
gabber eleganza and darkraver know their stuff. :D
the end of the begininning...such a banger!
What an episode, you gotta invite Darkraver again for another one! Now excuse I gotta go do some record hunting.
Loved this well worth the wait 👌 Millennium Hardcore next please!
you just timed machine me!! special thought to Liza!!! thank you Lenny as well!!!
You guys need to do a Hard Trance Blind Test
You are killin' me 🤪
With Scot Project 😉
@@lp60tor70 Yes only Scot Project remixes
Vote up for mid 90s hardtrance!
@@ManoloMacchetta Which Producers should they star?
These and the Techno ones are always 🔥....Keep em coming 👌
Побольше таких трансляций с такими легендами как Lenny Dee, DJ Paul, Darkraver - 70% все треки узнал!!!
Haha this is awesome! I love the excitement on their faces, and at 34, reminds me why I love this sort of music. Seeing the ones before us still enjoying it so much. Love ya Lenny :) hardcore and obscure for life! 🤘🤘 big love from Australia
Good job on this video. Thought it was going to be filled with certain tunes from 1994-95 that were not regarded as hardcore/gabber but clearly had done their homework.
Have we ever disappointed with the Blind Tests? This is not a marketing product, it's passion 😊
Darkraver is my man! Look at him at 3:46 this is how it goes!
PLEASSEEE MORE OF THISSSS
