Nightforce - The Vienna Core Beats EP

Review by Mooseong Kim

The Vienna Core Beats EP by Nightforce – A Hardcore Gem That Hits Hard If you're into electronic music with an edge, The Vienna Core Beats EP by Nightforce is one of those releases that’ll slap you awake. Released back in 2010 on ReBuild Music (UK), this little beast packs a punch with its hardcore and gabber vibes. Florian Billan—the mastermind behind the project—wrote and produced the whole thing, while Robin Petras handled mastering duties. The result? A raw, no-nonsense EP that feels like it was made for sweaty underground raves. Let’s talk tracks. First up, “It Feels So Right.” Man, this tune just gets under your skin. It’s got that relentless kick drum hammering away, layered with distorted synths that feel like they’re screaming at you. But what makes it stick in my head isn’t just the intensity—it’s how catchy it is. There’s something about the melody line that sneaks through all the chaos and stays lodged in your brain long after the track ends. You know when a song gets stuck in your head so bad you start humming it during breakfast? Yeah, that happened to me with this one. Then there’s “Why Do You Hate Me?” Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much from the title—it sounded kinda emo—but damn, did it surprise me. This track takes the aggression up another notch. The bassline hits so hard it almost feels illegal, and the chopped-up vocal samples are used perfectly to keep things edgy without going overboard. It’s not happy music, sure, but it’s got this weird charm to it. Like, you can tell someone poured their soul into making it sound as pissed-off as possible. And honestly? Sometimes that’s exactly what you need. “Strike With The Forces” rounds out the EP, and while it didn’t grab me quite as much as the other two, it still delivers solid energy. It’s more straightforward than the others, which is cool if you’re looking for something less experimental and more in-your-face. Still, it fits well within the vibe of the release. What strikes me most about The Vienna Core Beats EP is how unapologetically raw it feels. It doesn’t try to be anything fancy or polished—it just goes straight for the jugular. And honestly, that’s refreshing. In a world where everything feels filtered and Instagram-perfect, hearing something this gritty reminds you why you fell in love with hardcore music in the first place. Oh, fun fact: apparently, Florian Billan pulled off writing AND producing this entire EP himself. Hats off to him because pulling double duty like that ain’t easy. Also, shoutout to Robin Petras for mastering—it must’ve been tricky keeping all that distortion sounding tight without losing clarity. So yeah, The Vienna Core Beats EP. If you’re into hardcore or gabber, do yourself a favor and check it out. Just maybe don’t play it too loud around your neighbors unless you want some angry visits. Or maybe you do—who am I to judge? Final thought: Listening to this EP felt like shaking hands with a grizzly bear. Painful, intense, but oddly satisfying. Now excuse me while I go blast “Why Do You Hate Me?” again.
