- +8 tends to represent the " rawest " of
- the hardcore -- strong , rock - solid drum patterns with no breakbeats ,
- all kinds of funky shit on top . if you're into layer - upon - layer -
- upon - layer orchestrations like most of the belgian stuff , you might
- not be into it , but i like it a lot . Cybersonik and Speedy J are two
- of the best hardcore acts going , IMHO . Underground Resistance , also ,
- but they're not on +8 .

- one thing about hardcore -- it
- *requires* better than average DJs to be successful in a club . the DJs
- who sync up the beats and then play the entire cut will bore everyone
- off the floor with it . people like Jeff Mills or Kevin Saunderson , on
- the other hand , will use it as " building blocks , " syncopating it
- with other records , layering it into the mix , usually for no more than
- about 30 seconds per disc . in talented hands , it can be an amazing
- experience .
