What is Gabber? or is it Gabba?
 

del from hertipol on 2001-12-17 21:27 [#00061946]



Anyone know? I've probably heard it millions of times but
couldn't out a name to it. Is it what our magazines in the
UK call "Drill n Bass"?

gabber is like a bunch of samples and loud noise with a fast
beat... just another genre

Check out sume ID & T releases, like DJ Skinhead, Rob Gee,
Delta Nine, Bloody Fist, Nasenbluten, its real shitty music

I'm not particularly fond of it, either. It seems to go hand
in hand with 'Happy Hardcore'. Not my cup of tea, anyway.

I'd read in one of the articles that RDJ was fond of it and
was wondrin if one could describe any of his music as such.

Why Gabba? I understand the roots of the terms: Jungle and
Techno and acid and Rave etc etc etc but not Gabba.

Gabba is happyhardcore without the happy as it should be,
but it is not happyhardcore as gabba came first from
germany. gabba is german for rock, and asa everyone knows
gabba started off with heavymetal drum breaks at 200bpm+ as
it's theme. hope this helps.

munkeys got answers from wammx on 2001-12-18 00:18 [#00061983]



gabber-techno is Dutch/Belgian circa 1994

It is dance music with repetitive ultra-fast bassline @ 180
bpm+

and became popular in response to the commercialism of
club-culture in the 90's. dance-fans decided this type of
hardcore would drive out the hangers-on.

The bad thing was the music was shit.

The good thing? everyone was committed to being happy and
not just their own 'image'.

(although many needed amphetamines to keep up!)

gabber is definately dutch. i can't stand it, but that's
largely due to the fact that i prefer listening to music
instead of dancing to it.

and also back in school in the mid nineties the people who
were fans ("gabbers") were complete idiots, pills etc.

btw, gabber means 'friend' in dutch.

early aphex twin reminds me a lot of it.


 

od from perth on 2001-12-18 14:22 [#00062139]



perth scene = gabba/gabber

Never hear any good gabba music. V. fast usually.

The most intelligent people I know do pills, have their own
arguments to justify their actions. Talking proper
academics.
