"We asked a chatbot AI to imagine how discontinued classic hardcore labels could have continued - these are the results!"

https://thehardcoreoverdogs.blogspot.com/2023/04/we-asked-chatbot-ai-to-imagine-how.html

Excerpt; the results for PCP:  8)

"
T.H.C.O.D.: Dear Chatbot. I want to do the following. I want to write a "what if?" type of blog post. In this post, I will look at discontinued Hardcore techno labels. I want to look at the question: "what if they actually had continued? What if they had released more records?". For this, I want you to give me examples of potential, but fictional records. Records that never existed. Could you kindly provide such examples?

Chatbot: I'll do my best to generate imaginative and creative examples of fictional records that could have been released by the discontinued Hardcore techno labels you provide. Please provide the first label's name to get started.

Music / Low Entropy - Doors To The Pleasures (SDRHC 042)
« Last post by Low Entropy on December 29, 2022, 12:18:16 AM »


Low Entropy's first full-length Slowcore album - with a runtime of 70 minutes! "Doors To The Pleasures" is a correctly chosen title - the underlying theme here are trips to light and euphoric pleasures, but also journey's into dark ecstasy and twisted emotions, plus surreal and bizarre excursions; and, most of the time, all of this and more thrown together.
Stylistically, we have eight Slowcore tracks here, often alternating between "calm" Techno beats and rhythms, and relentless distortion and noise.
There is Low Entropy's typical Doomed atmosphere and concept, but this time, more than usually, an influence of Dark and Space Ambient genres - and movie-soundtrack-like ideas.
And we can't deny another influence of Oldschool Gabber - and 90s Ravecore.

A haunting and exhausting experience.
Doors to the pleasures - or to the worst nightmares? It's up to you!

Tracklisting:

Low Entropy - Doors To The Pleasures (SDRHC 042)

1. Paralyzed By Fear (80 BPM)
2. Depart To The Stars (75 BPM)
3. Doors To The Pleasures (48 BPM)
4. But A Thought (60 BPM)
5. Open Your Mind To Slowcore (Forward Mix) (70 BPM)
6. This Is History (1-4-16-64 BPM Version)
7. Slowcore Overdrive (Extended Mix) (60 BPM)
8. Witches (Full Size Mix) (118 BPM)

Music / Low Entropy - Speedcore And Slowcore Shox
« Last post by Low Entropy on December 08, 2022, 11:22:27 PM »


Low Entropy - Speedcore And Slowcore Shox

A collection of tracks I did that were only available on compilations so far - including some very rare, enigmatic and hard-to-find ones. And, as a bonus, a yet unreleased track.
The styles on here are all over the map - mostly Oldschool Hardcore, Terror, and Speedcore, but also Slowcore, Techno, Acid, and lots of other things.
Often going back to sonic methods I used in the 90s, but at other times employing very futuristic, experimental approaches.
Usually very dark and distorted, but there are also has more calm, serene outings included.

Music / The Slowcore Compilation Part 3
« Last post by Low Entropy on November 02, 2022, 09:23:09 AM »


The third installment of The Slowcore Compilation series already!
Once again we bring what we consider to be amongst the best and boldest in low tempo electronic music.
Featuring many well-known producers and masterminds, as well as up and coming producers.
Drawing influences from Hardcore, Gabber, Doomcore, Industrial, Techno, Dark Ambient, and many, many more styles.
Some of the tracks on here are more in a "Hardcore for the dancefloor" vein, some are more surreal and heady - but all are fierce.
Another attempt by us in our mission to spread dark and distorted slow tempo music.
And we sincerly hope you'll enjoy it!

23 tracks, 11-125 BPM, Runtime of 2 hours and 19 minutes.

Music / The Slowcore Compilation Part 2
« Last post by Low Entropy on March 05, 2022, 01:42:14 AM »


https://doomcorerecords.bandcamp.com/album/the-slowcore-compilation-part-2

Last year's The Slowcore Compilation on Doomcore Records was a huge success; in fact, it quickly became the most succesful release on the label!
While the Slowcore genre seemingly bubbled under the surface for many years, with this release, the word finally went out, and the Slowcore message spread quickly. People finally started to talk about Slowcore, and take the genre seriously.
A lot of artists began producing Slowcore themselves in the wake of the compilation.
And an effect on the Doomcore Records label itself was the formation of the first (sub)label solely dedicated to the Slowcore sound itself: Slowcore Records.

So it was obvious we had to do a follow-up this year; and here it is.

The Slowcore Compilation Part 2

Once again, the sound on this compilation is very varied; influences from Industrial Hardcore, Doomcore, Gabber, Techno, Dub, Noize, Oldschool, weird sound experiments... should really be something for everyone!
Both big name artists aswell as interesting newcomers are here.
And we think the release really shows the power of Slowcore: hard-as-nails drums, darkest atmospheres, hypnotic rhythms. All at slow speed. Showing the infinite possibilities of low tempo electronic music.
We were especially suprised how heavy and brutal a lot of the sounds were for this year's compilation. Definitely for the headstrong! But there are also calm and soothing moments.
In our opinion, Part 2 is even a step up from the first compilation!
25 tracks in total. Over 2 hours of music.

We once more hope that people enjoy this release, and that it might help to push the Slowcore idea a bit more into the worldwide music scene!

Huge thanks go out to all artists involved in this compilation!

Oh, in case, while reading this, you wondered all the time what kind of genre Slowcore actually is, you can find more information here: https://lowentropyproducer.blogspot.com/p/slowcore-records.html
