In Part one of our gabber / hardcore revival special, Ben Cardew and Pau Braqueberry consider the enduring appeal of hardcore, with a special guest appearance from Nina Kraviz. We examine the pioneering work of Marc Acardipane, Rotterdam Termination Source and Moby. We ponder: how hard is hard? How fast is fast? And what does hard mean anyway?
