"THE GABBER STORY In the beginning of the 90's some Chicago DJ's got bored of playing every weekend the disco classics of the '70/'80 and decided to make their own style of music, called "house"! In 1991 some Dutch DJ's got bored of these soft Chicago house music, and did speed-up the beat to 180 bpm and more. This new style of music was born in the harbours of Rotterdam. The big illegal Gabber parties in Rotterdam where joined by thousands and thousands young people, where they met each other in mysterious and unknown warehouses during their weekends. The politics and the police forces tried to stop this new style of house music, by arresting the organizers of these illegal Gabber parties. But with the mega parties like Thunderdome & Hellraider they lost this impossible fight!!! Gabber (also known as hardcore) went so popular, that "Poing" reached the number 1 position in the official dutch single charts in july 1992. In 1993 some Gabber DJ's speed-up the Gabber beat to around 220 bpm and TerrorGabber was born. After that the bpm's went slower again, which succeeded in the most succesfull Gabber style called Happy Hardcore. Artists like Charly Lownoise and Mental Theo, Critical Mass, DJ Roy, DJ Paul Elstak, Tokia, DJ Primo and many others, are nowadays in the official single charts listed. This 2-CD contains 5th Gear's greatest Gabber hits!!! And remember: THIS CD MUST BE PLAYED AS LOUD AS POSSIBLE!!!" The only tracks in this release that don't awkwardly fade out are 1-09, 1-14, 1-19, 1-25, 2-11, 2-17, 2-19 and 2-25. Track 2-11 is credited as ''Face Of Humanity - Is It Me?''. Track 2-14 is credited as ''Hardcore Interphaze - Poison & Destroy''. Track 2-15 is credited as ''The Wild Party Boys - Tonight It's Party Time''.
