THE GABBER STORY
In the beginning of the 90's some Chicago DJ's got bored of playing every weekend the disco classics of the '70/'80 and decided to make their own style of muisc, called "house"!
In 1991 some Ducth DJ's got bored of these soft Chicago house music, and did speed-up the beat to 180 bpm and more. This new style of music was born in the harbours of Rotterdam. The big illegal gabber parties in Rotterdam where joined by thousands and thousands young people, where they met eachother in mysterious and unknown warehouses during their weekends. The politics and the police forces tried to stop this new style of house music, by arresting the organizers of these illegal gabber parties. But with the mega parties like Thunderdome & Hellraiser they lost this impossible fight!!!
Gabber (also known as hardcore) went so popular, that "Poing" reached the number 1 position in the official dutch single charts in july 1992.
In 1993 some gabber DJ's speed-up the gabber beat to around 220 bpm and terrorgabber was born. After that the bpm's went slower again, which succeeded in the most succesfull gabber style called happy hardcore. Artists like Charly Lownoise and Mental Theo, Critical Mass, DJ Roy, DJ Paul Elstak, Tokia, DJ Primo and many others, are nowadays in the official single charts listed.
