BBBBBBB describe their style as Victory Hardcore — a wild mix of digital hardcore, noise, industrial, and trap, blending aggressive sound with a positive message of hope and dreams.  They mostly perform in Japan but have been expanding in recent years with shows in Korea, China, and the US. The lineup includes producer/vocalist Saionji, vocalist Sawa, and dancer MRO (who performs with the group occasionally). Saionji also contributed three tracks to Lord Spikeheart’s album The Adept, which has been getting a lot of attention lately.

Croptopcore: don’t google it unless you wanna buy croptops.
This group from Brussels plays improvised music based on gabber, hardcore and eurodance. Their sound is teared to pieces with brute kicks, semi-soft melodies, unashamed synths, and a fiery guitar. Croptopcore is Casper Van De Velde (Schntzl, Bombataz, Donder), Sam De Clercq (Bontridders, Brorlab, Félicette), Alan van Rompuy (Azertyklavierwerke, Vieze Meisje) en Sylvain Haenen (Purrses, Fievel is Glauque).
