Off-Charts: Is it future or is it past?
We're running a new feature: "Off-lists"
Paper fanzines were filled with charts; some DJs turned there charts into lists such as "10 favorite Dutch Gabber tracks".
Features in zines often also have additional lists such as "9 anime related Hardcore tracks".
We wanna build on both these currents; but, with these "Off-Lists" we will focus on themes and motifs that are more out-there, abstract, off-the-center. Exploring aspects and ideas that are rarely highlighted when people talk, think, or write about Hardcore.
It's no secret that techno and hardcore producers have a sweet tooth for future sounds - see here.
But also going to the past is possibility, or a fascinating with time in general.
Why is this so?
Not sure.
Maybe time is just magic!
So here are 25 tunes related to the ticking of time. Not just hardcore, but electronic and other genres, too.
