My fav is the original mix
Somehow I noticed that 75% of my favourite hardcore songs were created by Arcadipane including my all-time favourite (9 is a classic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEsubk9HxRc - posted that one already of course 
and interestingly it’s a remix by Human Resource from the Netherlands, surpassing the original )
Also Miro! Responsible for so many classics
Was just checking this “picture disk”.
I mean I’m not a fan of style boundaries at all as it does not really matter, but imo there is a thin line separating “hardcore” like “gabber hardcore” and “hardcore techno”. Not sure if there is a specific vocabulary for that.
I am thinking “hardcore” is generally faster, has a specific kick and most importantly has sort of melody or riff (rudimentary but still as a basis of a track) whereas “hardcore techno” is mostly abstract and “mechanical”. Even in it’s extreme forms “hardcore” is still melodic and song-like inside while hardcore-techno is more rigid, soulless and machine-like with events strictly aligned to grid. But probably it’s not a very thought out criteria, there are many blurred lines and exceptions…
Okay, I can get behind that - hardcore without riffs 
To me, hardcore is “bow bow bow” distorted kicks, and then there’s either an awesome riff (thumbs up), cool noises (thumbs up) or an awful melody like from a children’s birthday (thumbs down) - that’s the only sorting I do 
I just stumbled upon this channel again …

And was shocked - Traumatismo Y Terror! I completely forgot that one …
Ha same - I think I have any piece of wax Marc put out, from PCP to White Breaks and Dance Ecstacy.
Mover was his best alias though!
This was a gig: VFM Vox - Album on Imgur
Those Future World 10"s were amazing…
Met my wife when playing these at a London party
And don’t forget the Acidiferous ones…
Hardcore made its way into the Eurovision. Will they win?
Only listen if you wish to have the song in your head for the rest of the day.
Eurodance with a gabber part that is not recogniseable as such if there wasn’t footage of people in tracksuits. Offensive!
It’s at 5.3 million views right now. In just 3 days time. 
I don’t know if this ever happened before in Eurovision history. Hardcore is breaking all kinds of records right now. 
Also what’s cool is a sign language reporter is getting glory right now for displaying her skills on the song. I love how this gets to reminds people again that we’re not all blessed with good hearing.
While this isn’t my type of music I do absolutely love all the positivity it brings forward. Reminds me of the old days when I was a gabber and there was such a united bond amongst each other.
Europe is truly beautiful with all it’s imperfections and if we can celebrate it by jumping along some crazy song on Eurovision I’m for all for it. Hakkûhhhhh!!! 
it’s a nice sentiment to see the interpreter and some respect given to gabber in a larger scale production, but mostly it reminds me of all those 2012 pop songs that had a dubstep bridge.
It’s Eurovision so if it was a full hardcore song it would’ve been way over the top and too dark. Eurovision is mostly about fun and not taking things too serious. I think Joost Klein and his team really did a genius piece of music and music video.
I’ve been watching a couple reaction video’s online and couldn’t find a single negative response. (well maybe 2%) It seems to bring a smile on everyone’s faces. When the happy hardcore kicks in you hear people say “ohh techno!” and I can’t stop laughing. 
This song is full of easter eggs as well. It’s a banger that will dominate the charts all around the globe for sure. For the record I’m Dutch so I’m probably a bit biased. 
For those that don’t understand the ending…
Joost lost both his parents. His dad past away when he was 12 en his mother died a year later. He traveled through Europe but the pain of losing his parents always kept following him. The song is a tribute to his parent who always said the world has no borders. He watched the Eurovision with his parents and he told them that one day he would perform on that show. 
The gabber part has been made by Paul elstak
I listened again on headphones instead of a tin can and now I hear that it /does/ sound like it. The stab is just so loud that the kick isn’t pronounced 
On a positive note, this track might make lots of people find to hardcore music, who are like “i did like that one part”
All remixes of “9 is a classic” are awesome, some are crazier than others
Euromasters on Eurovision, that’s our target goal
Hehehe Alles naar de klotûhhh! 
Amstuhrdam, waar lech dat dan??!
