Future Darkcore | Hardcore Jungle Techno Mix #9
:sicko-jammin: :sicko-jammin: :sicko-jammin:
Back with a new Hardcore Jungle Techno mix. This is the longest mix I've done so far at just under 1hr 40min, which tbf is only about 10 minutes longer than my previous longest mix.
Hope y'all enjoy o7
Explaination behind the title "Future Darkcore" incase someone's interested:
For those that don't know, "Darkcore" (Darkside Hardcore) was the name for a subgenre of music that split off from Breakbeat Hardcore in the early 90s and eventually evolved into Jungle/Drum & Bass. Basically you can think of it as a reaction/antithesis to the early forms of Happy Hardcore, leaning more into the techno side of things with a darker and grittier vibe. Obviously not everything in this mix is "Darkcore," but there's plenty of songs in this mix that fit the Darkcore vibe to varying degrees.
"Future" is mostly there just to sound cool, it's also kinda 'cause of fact that there is a bit of a split in the Jungle scene when it comes to production techniques. Producers like Pete Cannon and Hyped On Acid tend to stick to making tracks that sound like they were made in the 90s, with Pete Cannon in particular even going so far as to only use the same equipment that Jungle producers were using in the 90s. By contrast, producers like Tim Reaper, Coco Bryce and Dead Man's Chest have much more modern sounding Jungle, with Tim Reaper even explicitly saying that he doesn't care about trying to exactly recreate an authentic 90s sound with his Jungle.
So while there isn't any sort of official "Future Jungle" or "Future Darkcore" or anything like that, I guess I am sort of using it as a way to distinguish between modern Jungle made to sound modern from modern Jungle made to sound retro.
TL:DR: Darkcore was an early name for DnB/Jungle, the "Future" part is mostly just to sound cool lol
I also posted this to r/mixes. Didn't get any upvotes on it yesterday, then when I woke up this morning I found that I'd received a single downvote lmao.
Still got twice as many views from :reddit-logo: as I did from here though :sadness:
(And by that I mean I got 1 view from here and 2 from r/mixes lol)
Edit: Actually, it would be inaccurate to say that I only got one view from here. Really, I don't actually know how many views I got from here, I just know that one view came from someone watching the imbedded video on the crome app, so all I can say that I only know of 1 view that for certain came from here.
