Hardcore Wannabe

This track is probably one of the first of its kind. It combines elements from the genres of Schranz, Hardgroove, and Hardcore. The new hybrid of Schranz and Hardgroove, “Schroove,” is already a household name; however, most tracks are classified solely as Hardgroove because the percussion and other loops in the mid-frequency range—that is, the drum elements—are groovy in nature. The addition of hardcore elements now creates “Schroove Core.” Here, however, I took the heart of hardgroove—the bouncy, groovy rumble—and layered it over the hard Schranz sound, which worked perfectly and was a great way to learn more about producing. In addition, the hardcore melodies, as well as the sample from an old-school hardcore track from the ’90s, create a perfectly distinctive soundscape. “Hardcore Wannabe” is the album’s special, one-of-a-kind track and sounds unlike any other.
