Description

Umbrella term for a wide variety of extremely fast-paced, energetic styles such as Gabber and Happy Hardcore—that have been developed since the early 1990s.

The style of production has some similarities with traditional Techno but with a much faster pace. It seeks to push the genre to its limits and satisfy the various scenes that demanded a more intense EDM sound, most noticeably in Europe.
