Darkcore (also referred to as darkside hardcore) is a music subgenre of breakbeat hardcore in the UK rave scene, that emerged from late 1992. It is recognised as being one of the direct precursors of the genre now known as drum and bass.[1]

By late 1992, the happy rave tunes of 199–1 were being eclipsed by a style called 'darkside' or dark-core; hardcore became haunted by a collective apprehension that 'we've gone too far'.
