Ah, gabber—that 90s rave movement from the Netherlands that gave us a wonderfully weird era of stylish sportswear, an interesting take on European folk dancing, and an entire generation of potentially fucked-up children. While the whiplash-inducing genre—marked by manic tempos ranging from 180-220 BPM, distorted bass drums, and shrieking synths—is hard to come by in the US clubbing scene, a particularly fanatical promoter named "Justin Bailey" (AKA Seva Granik, the mastermind behind SHADE) will be throwing a gabber party called "Zero Chill" in Brooklyn on April 1 as a winking tribute to its cultish lineage.Described as a "Rotterdam Speedcore Ravette," the party will be headlined by three NYC-based DJs: Shawn O' Sullivan of L.I.E.S. and The Corner, DJ Skins (check out his priceless "Suck My Motherfucking Dick (DSLR),") and Software-affiliate Slava. To give you a taste of the impending brutality, the latter gave us a mix called Fuck You & Your Eyebrows. Running through artists like Deathmachine, Black Sun Empire, and Dr. Peacock—as well as Rihanna, Super Mario, and Yo Gotti samples—it's a stomach-churning appetizer for next week's gabber feast."If these sounds make that shriveled little pussy you call your brain moist and hard, you can come to the party," Slava told THUMP over email, "Otherwise you and your mom better stay home." "To be a gabber you don't need to have your head shaved. It can also be someone with hair!" Bailey added.Check out the mix, along with the party's promotional video, below—and get more info on Zero Chill: A Rotterdam Speedcore Ravette here.Dr Peacock - Trip To ThailandSyrinx - Gabba (C-Netik Remix)Black Sun Empire & Eye-D – Brainfreeze (Neonlight VIP)
