Staff picks
Gabber came from Rotterdam in the early 1990s, and it is one of the hardest sounds in dance music. A distorted, booming kick drum at 160 to 200 BPM drives every track.
Where gabber fits
- extreme sports and stunt edits;
- chaotic gaming and meme videos;
- rave and festival content;
- intense workout clips.
The gabber kick
Producers push a kick drum so hard that it distorts into a tone, almost a melody of its own. Over it come harsh synths, shouted samples and fast, simple riffs. Gabber is raw and loud on purpose, and its fans built a whole culture around it. For stunt and meme edits, cut on every second or fourth kick.
Make a gabber track
