Hypercore

A high energy Hard dance rave genre featuring clean punchy 4x4 kicks, thick prominent offbeat basslines and heavily detuned supersaw leads.

The genre is often Vocal led. The melodies often carry a sense of euphoria, hope, or even bittersweet feelings.
Vocal samples or sung vocals are frequently pitched high, popular vocals are often remixed into this genre.

Hypercore can also be quite versatile, it’s not uncommon for it to pull influence from Bass music and other genres such as Donk, hardhouse, hyper techno ect.

Tracks are produced at 170-175bpm but DJs often play the tracks 170-180+bpm at raves, it’s can easily be mixed with other high energy genres Such as DnB due to living in the same tempo range.

Hypercore began to emerge around the mid 2020’s and evolved from UK-Hardcore and happyhardcore.
I prefer Hypercore over hardstyle music.
