Im The Fuck You ManWedlock

Wedlock – Im The Fuck You Man

When you listen to gabber or hardcore, don’t you ever feel like “the intro is too long” or “I want it to get exciting right after I hit play”? This track has a great balance right from the start—rhythm, melody, and even the stereo placement.

It’s from 2010, but if you want to quickly charge up on gabber during a short commute or study break, this one track is perfect!

Miss K8 & MC Nolz – Raiders of Rampage (Official Masters of Hardcore 2016 Anthem)

If you’re looking for harder gabba and EDM, this track is recommended.

It’s the kind where a running rhythm carries through the whole song—less on the melodic side—but it’s a type of hardcore that gets anyone pumped and lifts the vibes just right.

The official music video is packed with energy, too!

’s “keyc [Nu Style Gabba]” feels like a track that blends the lighter sides of house and gabber.

Even if you’re not into the heavy, bass-heavy aspects of hardcore or gabber, this song keeps the essential gabber groove while letting you enjoy it with a lighter, more easygoing vibe.

Partycrasher by The Melodyst & Andy The Core begins with an intro reminiscent of Nazi Germany, opening with a Middle Eastern–style motif.

Even if you can’t quite ride the supposedly “hardcore” beat with its subtle heaviness, this track—bursting with a breakneck sense of speed, evoking the vibe of Indian or kung fu films and sprinkled with the essence of legacy home console game sounds—comes highly recommended.

The official videoclip is fired up, too!

Euromasters- Alles Naar De Klote (Neophyte & Evil Activities Remix)

Released in 2011.

Euromasters’ “Alles Naar De Klote” (Neophyte & Evil Activities Remix) features a sound that sits somewhere between classic gabber and newstyle.

The envelope portion that corresponds to the melody in more conventional music is short, but you can hear slight variations in shape, making it a track I put on when I want to start with something midway between gabber and newstyle.

It’s also a song that draws you in when you want to immerse yourself in the music itself.

CracksDJ AniMe

DJ AniMe – Cracks (Official Videoclip)

Perhaps because she’s a female DJ, DJ AniMe’s “Cracks” features many highly melodious phrases and even weaves in elements reminiscent of West Asian music.

If you’ve ever thought, “Gabber melodies are monotonous,” or “I’m not a fan of that dense layering in hardcore,” then DJ AniMe’s tracks—including this one—will likely be up your alley.

It’s gabber, yet it conveys delicacy, with sound design that lets each note stand out crisply.

Although it’s a 2013 track, it might challenge your usual image of gabber.

CONVEX（NU STYLE GABBA）Detach vs Mantis

[NU STYLE GABBA] CONVEX / Detach vs Mantis

Released in 2008, Detach vs Mantis’s “CONVEX” was a global hit in the newstyle gabba scene.

You might think, “It’s said to have been huge, but I don’t really recognize it.” In fact, it was used extensively in commercial facilities and at sporting events—both for drawing crowds and as venue BGM—so it’s fair to call it one of the defining newstyle gabba tracks of that year.

The track itself is refined, and even listeners who aren’t fond of gabba or hardcore can enjoy it comfortably without the headache or discomfort that can come from repetitive patterns.

If anything, it’s a track that might be even more recommendable to general listeners who are curious about trying the genre than to hardcore gabba fans.

It works surprisingly well year-round, and fits nicely with driving or leisure scenes.
