Intro

Gabba

Driving, aggressive, and frantic uptempo (i.e. 160 to 220 BPM) derivative of hardcore techno. Characteristically loud and often aggressive. Uses a driving and wildly distorted four-on-the-floor Roland TR-909 kick drum pattern, often overdriven to the point where it becomes a square wave and makes a recognizably melodic tone. It usually has either a scary or a happy mood. Vocal delivery is aggressive and rough. The hoover sound is prominent - a distorted, grainy, sweeping sound which when played on a low key can create a dark and brooding bass line. Alternatively, when played at higher pitches the hoover becomes an aggressive, shrieking lead. Faster tracks often apply extremely fast hoover patterns.
