Gabbers At Work: 23 records that have passed through the crate
The story of Gabbers At Work
Gabbers At Work was a Barcelona hardcore label active in the early two thousands, with its own studio in the city — the credits on its records cite it as Gabbers At Work Studios — and a compilation series, The Best Of Gabbers At Work, that ran to several volumes.
Having your own studio is no small detail for a label this size: it means producing at home rather than licensing, and you can hear it. The catalogue that has passed through here — twenty-three references, between 2002 and 2004 — is hardcore and gabber almost throughout, with some Makina showing.
The GAKMX prefix
Every reference runs on GAKMX and a consecutive three-figure number (GAKMX 008, GAKMX 019). The whole catalogue fits into three years, so the number doesn't date much: here what places the record is the prefix itself.
The record to start with
- Emo DJ — Children (Emo DJ Remix 2002) · 2002 — Una versión hardcore de un tema que todo el mundo reconoce: el movimiento clásico de la casa, y en su mejor año.
