Let's create rave like we're back in the 90's (Korg M1,Korg MS-20,emulating Akai S950) Prodigy style

[@kempinenPC]

this is like pure early 90's rave music, you've literally nailed everything, if i heard it randomly, i would think it was a real 90's track, i mean not made in 2020's

[@Estuera]

Big compliment 😊 Thanks !

[@hardcoreyouknowthescore1457]

Personally i'd know instantly that it's a modern track in an oldskool style. The breakbeats give it away, they don't sound authentically oldskool. The nuances may be missed by a lot of casual listeners, but anyone who knows their early nineties hardcore will easily be able to tell the difference. Ninety percent nailed it and a good track regardless 👍

[@sneaksbyalfresco1561]

I 100% agree, this very much my time for Hardcore, hes nailed that Jimmy J & Crul T, Kniteforce records sound 94-95.

[@kempinenPC]

​@@hardcoreyouknowthescore1457 do you know why you would think this isn't a real 90's track? i'll tell you the answer - it does sound quality. when you hear most of the 90's hardcore/rave/early jungle tracks (whatever you call them) they all sound kinda muddy, the breaks are a bit hollow... i can't really describe this specific type of sound but pretty much every hardcore mix sounds like it was recorded on a cheap digital recorder from an old tape ha-ha. you can find mickeybeam mixes on youtube and check yourself that plenty of them are a bit of a trashy quality which definitely adds this sort of oldschool 90's vibe i guess talking about THE NUANCES i just want to say that this is an attempt, sure it misses a lot of the things, but in general the track does give these oldskool emotions when grass was greener, the sun was brighter etc. when you listen to it :))

[@hardcoreyouknowthescore1457]

@@kempinenPC exactly. That's one of the big ways you can tell. A lot of the modern hardcore productions sound too 'clean' and don't have that lo-fi, gritty sound of the genuine oldskool tracks

[@B1SCOOP]

@@albionpatterns3986 If some underground stuff becomes too popular, music industry hijacks it and mutates it to generic mcdonaldized garbage for the masses. This happens regularly. So called Big Rave Revival, wont end up what you like to think. Just like with Synthwave, you would get flood of mediocre releases, most being based on 3 artists who brought back the genre, with very shallow knowledge of the scene from 30 years ago. Also the way of making music has drastically shifted, you no longer rely on crude hardware gear, limitless plugins with crispy clean sound produce different outcome.

[@DigitalFacts]

This is exactly how we did it back in the days! You kept the oldschool hardware sampler workflow while using modern technology. Kudos!!! Track's awesome!!

[@Estuera]

Thanks 😊 I wasn't sure if I could get the real oldschool sound with modern tools but its all about following the authentic sampling workflow.

[@V0lny]

this really gives me The Prodigy vibes

[@EllipticRecords]

Back in the day when i started producing and DJing i picked up a TR606 for £30 and a 909 for £50. Bought a Jen SX1000 for £70 and my Roland Juno 6 for £100. The joys of the late 80's and early 90's, used to play live and DJ at warehouse parties and amazed i never lost the gear to the police when they raided!!! Ah, the memories of the original warehouse rave scene....

[@Estuera]

So do you still have the gear ? I am officially jealous :D When I started buying my first equipment in 98 these kind of deals were already long gone.

[@EllipticRecords]

@@Estuera Yes still have the gear and still use it to this day. Im glad i got the kit back in the late 80's when people all wanted a D-50 or an M1 and good old analog was seen as old hat and no one wanted it. Missed out on a Promars that i saw when i bought my Jen, it was on sale for £60!! Now that was a bargain.

[@iKiWY]

50 pounds for a 909?? I cant even comprehend that such prices ever existed for things like this

[@EllipticRecords]

@@iKiWY was a different time then. No one wanted analog it was old and people were struck on the new digital machines..... Lol, how times change. So glad I got them when I did.

[@deegee8645]

@@Estuera I dunno when 'back in the day' was, but Im not having it that a 909 only cost £50 by the time the House scene had hit the UK in 1988-90. In 1990, a 909 was already around the £400 mark. I know coz I bought one and sold it in 1992 for £1000. Even spoke to Pete Waterman (PWL) on the phone, coz he was after one.. but the millionaire tightwad wouldnt pay the going rate. Also in 1990-91, I bought 808 for £250, 303 for £120, 202 for £120, SC ProOne for £100, Juno6 for £100.

[@Xceloverdose]

Hardcore will never die! ✊

[@GeirEivindMork]

I grew up without being allowed to listen to pop music but having access to a computer and listening to computer music, so I was instantly in love with the techno, trance and rave scene in the 90s - not because of drugs, parties or anything, I've been to one rave in my entire life and that was a local sorry excuse for one. But for the music. I still choose 90s music for my playlists, in particular when exercising or doing something which require me to get my energy up. I dabbed mostly into the higher bmp variants than this though. So I hope some of the forthcoming is going to be hardtrace, hardhouse, the more uptempo happy hardcore etc. But in any case, this was a wonderful trip back memory lane.

[@Estuera]

I was heavily into happy hardcore (and later on gabber) when I was13-15 years old. I was too young to go to the big raves so for me it also was all about the music. When I got older and actually properly started producing music it was in other genres but those teenage years will always be a part of me. I completely get your story :) There is a good chance that later on I'll do a video about one of the genres that were born out of rave, like happy hardcore, gabber or jungle (maybe all of them :D at some point)

[@CodeBleu724]

I turned 18 in 1990 so I was there at the start of it all. There was a rave scene brewing in Pittsburgh, PA and it didn't start to pick up steam until a couple years later. It was a fascinating time and place to be a part of. I'm 50 now and my musical tastes have changed and evolved somewhat. People my age grew up on classic rock but I was always looking for something different to listen to. Now I'm into Vaporwave/Mallsoft/Synthwave...all the -waves. But I still sometimes go back to the classic rave sound including Jungle/Drum&Bass.

[@AutPen38]

I'm in my fifties and I remember the happy hardcore thing coming in and being disappointed that it lacked the melodies of earlier house and techno, so I invented grunge and Britpop and consigned hardcore and gabba to the dustbin of history, just as God intended. The early rave tracks were new and interesting, but I think it went back underground after the Prodigy crossover because most of it was rubbish. It pains me that there is a bit of a '90s dance music revival now. Being a little bit older, I preferred the eighties.

tbh theres dozens of incredible tracks and new genres being made every year, both nostalgic and classic and new and forward-thinking so objectively right now is the best time for music in general. any kid with a laptop can make something really unique and incredible and things are more accessible so theres a ton of room for innovation and amazing music if you actually take the time to crate dig and find some gems.

[@AutPen38]

Someone that was a teen in the '90s telling me that the '90s was the best decade is the most shocking thing I've heard since someone that was a teen in the '80s told me that the '80s was the best. The "golden age" for pretty much anything is equivalent to "whenever you were a feenager."

[@DjNikGnashers]

Very nice explanation of the individual parts of an early happy hardcore style tune. It is extremely easy to make this style of music with modern equipment, and a LOT harder to make it using early trakkers on Amiga's or Atari's and using real hardware synths & sampler's. The editing time using an old Akai was just ridiculous, and very inaccurate, which meant samples were not chopped exactly correctly (obviously easy to chop them perfectly using a modern screen and 'see' the start / end points). The fact samples were not perfect meant they did not play exactly on the beat and in time with each other, and THAT was a massive part of the sound, because everything had a random swing to it, none of the drum samples were exactly on the beat, and thus none of the other parts were exactly 'in time' with the drum breaks. This was what gave it the human element, instead of a robotic perfect sound, and that is why original 'rave' music will always sound different to modern hardcore breaks, and can never really be re-created exactly (thankfully), meaning original rave music will always have it's place.
