Terrordrome

The Terrordrome compilation series is legendary. I don't know about the international markets, but at least in Germany, and I'm sure in many other countries as well, Terrordrome was the 2nd biggest compilation after Thunderdome, and in the 90s, "Gabber" and "Hardcore" to most people were synonymous with Thunderdome and Terrordrome.

Terrordrome did not just cover the "big hits" of that era; but supplied the scene with the hottest tracks from the more underground areas, and played a vital role in building then new genres such as Speedcore and Noizecore with their range of tracks. Before the days of high-speed internet, MP3s, social media, compilations like Terrordrome spread the newest sounds and gave the Core audience their much needed stuff. Terrordrome definitely played a central role in the Hardcore network during its heyday.
