I'm writing a dance music guide, and I've just polished off the Hardcore section. Take a look and let me know if you have any feedback or suggestions!

Hey r/gabber,

Please bear with me, but this is going to be a bit of copy & paste from when I released the hardstyle section a few weeks ago, but it's all relevant. I've released a couple of these now so you might have even seen this floating around already.


I'm writing a big ol' guide for dance music.

I've begun this colossal undertaking in hopes to educate those that aren't as knowledgeable about all the hundreds of dance music genres that exist and those that are being created and changing each year. This is going to be something that likely takes a couple of months to complete, but I'd at least like to get a bit of it out there and get some feedback from people that would be using it, rather than having me just guess what should be included.

I've built a platform that allows easy addition and removal of genres, subgenres and tracks in order to keep the guide flexible and constantly evolving to keep up with the ever changing landscape of music. It is a lofty goal, but the eventual hope for this is that it will be the modern equivalent of the the famous (and very outdated) Ishkur's Electronic Music Guide.

Anyway, enough blab, here's the link:

It's incomplete, as I'm released genres as they're completed in order to get proper feedback on a smaller scale.


Hardcore Relevant Part

Here's a direct link to the Hardcore guide: http://thedancemusicguide.com/genre/hardcore

There's more info about what it is and what it hopes to achieve on the main page of the site. You can also help get involved. If you're knowledgeable about a certain genre and think you can help fill certain gaps, I'd like to hear from you (perhaps Industrial Hardcore). Though I have a fairly thorough understanding of most dance music, I do not know everything.

At the moment, it's only covering mainstream/partycore. I know there's a zillion subgenres of hardcore, but for the sake of my sanity, I'll only be covering the large subgenres, which means that Industrial will be coming in future.

Hopefully some folks will find this guide useful.

In any case, I'd love if you were to take a look at it and provide me with any feedback and suggestions you may have.
