This set is for Dark Hardcore, not a real genre but more an adjective and solid mix of that themed music. His original mixes were called Darkcore but that normally was the transitional musical  period between breakbeat hardcore and jungle in the UK. Some Hardcore fans do use that term for this music. Hope you enjoy some dark hardcore beats!!

See my list and notes Darkcore (Hardcore) https://www.discogs.com/lists/Darkcore/509597

My mixes contains Ybrid, Psykotropp, Nordcore (label) etc. BUT there are of course a lot of artists from NL that played darkcore, and yes, some of them are placed on darkcore releases https://www.discogs.com/label/13094-Darkcore "

Also "Ark-Aik, Anticore, or tracks from artists like: Psykotropp, Skullblower are neither doomcore nor industrial. There are simpy DAAARK ;) some are slower, some are faster "~https://www.discogs.com/group/thread/534151#5268838

"Some people use Darkcore as an umbrella term for darker hardcore tracks, however it actually has a history of its own. The term Darkcore started with DJ Ruffneck's label "Supreme Intelligence", which defined the sound. Supreme Intelligence is now defunct, but the sound continues on labels such as Enzyme X and Genosha. It is one form of Industrial Hardcore, typically 150-180 bpm, whereas Doomcore is generally slower.

Another difference between Doomcore and Darkcore is that Darkcore tracks of today usually have rougher and more distorted kicks. There is also a Dutch CD compilation series called "Darkcore", but the releases also contain some faster and some more mainstream tracks that have nothing to do with the genre itself. It should also be noted that there is another Darkcore term referring to a subgenre in Jungle music so these 2 shouldn't be confused with each other. Some known Darkcore artists (note that most of them are not only limited to Darkcore): Armageddon Project, Meagashira, Hamunaptra, Ophidian, The Outside Agency, Petrochemical, Chaosbringer."~Last FM Doomcore vs Darkcore Differences
