Paul Elstak Sample Pack 〈QUICK - 2027〉

A defining feature of the 90s Hardcore sound was the fusion of House tempos with Breakbeats.

Take the Stab Chords loops. Pitch them up by +2 or +3 semitones. Paul often tunes his leads to the Lydian mode (sharp 4th) to give that "happy but unsettling" feel. Layer the Hoover synth underneath the chord stabs, but high-pass the Hoover so it doesn’t clash with the bass. paul elstak sample pack

Do not just drag and drop a 170 BPM kick loop. The secret to modern hardcore is layering. A defining feature of the 90s Hardcore sound
