[Classic] Nightcore Masterpieces | Introducing the Latest Tracks Too
Nightcore, a niche genre that’s gained popularity primarily on LimeWire and YouTube.
Created in 2002 by the Norway-born DJ group Nightcore, the genre took its name directly from the group itself.
One of nightcore’s main appeals is the consistency across tracks.
At its core, nightcore is defined as a pitched-up remix.
This higher pitch creates a sense of uniformity, and as a result, most works are finished to a high standard.
This time, we’ve picked out some staple tracks from the nightcore genre.
