About Mainstream Hardcore
Mainstream hardcore, new style, or nu gabber, is a style of electronic music and a subgenre of hardcore.
The essence of mainstream hardcore sound is a distorted bass drum sound, overdriven to the point where it becomes clipped into a distorted square wave and makes a recognizably melodic tone.
Often the Roland Alpha Juno or the kick from a Roland TR-909 was used to create this sound. Gabber tracks typically include samples and synthesized melodies with the typical tempo ranging from 150 to 180 bpm. Read more on Last.fm.
