most of these are related to doujin music, but i got no clue what some of the others are from, so use them with caution :p

Fragarach - Pixelip*aido [2008]

genre: denpa

find: youtube (missing off vocal vers)

absolutely one of the best denpa albums i've ever heard. this is such a unique and well-produced project.

it's super edm-y, with all sorts of influences from various genres like eurodance, chiptune, trance, hardcore, and more. very melodic and chaotic.

this album is glittery, hyperactive, futuristic, and most importantly, unique! i haven't heard any other denpa that has as 'complex' a sound as this. so much effort and love was put into this, and it's incredible. check it out!

Figured I'd post my hard dance playlist on here too! Has a soupy mix of gabber, break/mash/raggacore, speedcore, happy hardcore, J-core, and a little bit of digital hardcore.

源屋 (Minamotoya) - MINAMOTRANCE CORE i7 [2012]

genres: j-core, happy hardcore, trance

find: spotify, apple music, youtube etc

although minamotoya has some amazing songs, his albums tend to be less listenable. this one is my second favorite of his, and it’s definitely grown on me over time.

what i like about is it that it’s pretty different for him. it opens up with a brostep intro track which carries its genre over into the next song, Broken Disc, although not as intensely. It’s one of the best songs on the album and probably the most unique one. it has a great melody and i love the scratches. Another Day is my favorite song on the album - i’ve been listening to it a lot lately. the melody is very typical minamotoya but it still sticks with me. the piano and vocal samples are nice, and i love the bass, which is more characteristic of hard bass than j-core. overall there are definitely some bangers on this album.

there aren’t any bad songs on this album, which is nice. the remixes aren’t horrible (but i still skip them because i hate remixes at the end of albums).

check this one out. it’s not as good as MINAMOTRANCE CORE BREAK! but it’s still super solid.
