The whole hardcore scene, one daily feed

Hardcore techno has always lived on compilations and festival lineups, from Thunderdome to Masters of Hardcore, but a single feed of everything new barely existed. The Hardcore Release Radar fills that gap. Every new hardcore release on Spotify is added the day it appears, spanning Rotterdam-school gabber, millennium hardcore and the modern mainstream sound.

Nothing is filtered out for being too big or too underground. Scene leaders like Angerfist, Miss K8 and Partyraiser share the list with independent producers and label debuts, and the frenchcore and uptempo edges of the scene surface here too. Tracks rotate off after a few weeks, so the radar stays a snapshot of what is new rather than an archive of the entire genre.

Spotify’s own Release Radar only reflects artists you already follow and updates weekly. This one is genre-wide, the same for everyone and refreshed every day, which is how you keep up with a scene that releases constantly across dozens of labels. The tracks that stick around climb into the Hardcore Top 100.

New Hardcore lands here first. Once a track proves itself it climbs into the Hardcore Top 100, and every release we track is collected on the new Hardcore releases page, updated daily.

How this radar works

New releases, added daily

Every new Hardcore release on Spotify is added the day it appears, seven days a week. There is no weekly batch and no waiting for a Friday refresh.

A rolling few-week window

Tracks stay on the radar for their first weeks, then rotate off as newer releases arrive. The list never becomes an endless archive: it is always a picture of what is new in Hardcore.

The whole scene, not your follows

Unlike Spotify's personal Release Radar, built from artists you already follow, this covers all of Hardcore: major labels, small imprints and unsigned uploads alike, the same for everyone.

Follow it once on Spotify

The radar is a public Spotify playlist that updates itself. Follow it once and the newest Hardcore keeps flowing into your library, with every track linking back to its details here.

Questions, answered

Where can I find new hardcore releases?

The Hardcore Release Radar collects every new hardcore release on Spotify into one playlist, updated daily. New tracks are added the day they drop, so following it keeps you current with gabber, mainstream hardcore and everything in between.

What counts as hardcore in this playlist?

Hardcore techno and its family: gabber, early and millennium hardcore, mainstream hardcore and the harder crossovers toward frenchcore and uptempo. It is the Rotterdam-born rave sound, not hardcore punk.

How is this different from Spotify’s Release Radar?

Spotify’s Release Radar is personalised and refreshes every Friday from artists you already follow. The Hardcore Release Radar is genre-wide, updated daily and the same for everyone, so it surfaces the whole scene rather than only acts you have followed.

What BPM is hardcore?

Mainstream and gabber hardcore typically run between 150 and 190 BPM, with heavily distorted kicks. The faster uptempo and terror edges of the scene push past 200 BPM.

Is the Hardcore Release Radar free to follow?

Yes. It is a public Spotify playlist anyone can follow for free, and it updates itself every day, so your library always holds the newest hardcore.
