Uptempo is a subgenre of hardcore characterized by an extremely fast tempo, relentless beats and raw vocals. The genre emerged in the Netherlands in the early 2000s and has since gained a loyal following of fans around the world. Uptempo is more than music; it is a culture characterized by energy, intensity and a DIY ethic. The clothing brand Uptempo is the perfect fit for the diehard Uptempo fan.
The roots of uptempo lie in the early hardcore scene of the nineties. Pioneers such as DJ Dano, The Prophet and Neophyte experimented with increasingly faster tempos and harder beats. This resulted in a new genre that distinguished itself from mainstream hardcore by its extreme character.
Uptempo music is characterized by a tempo of 200+ beats per minute. The beats are relentless and are often combined with hard kicks, distorted snares and industrial sounds. The vocals are raw and aggressive and are often shouted or rapped. Uptempo music is designed to have maximum impact on the dance floor, creating an intense and energetic atmosphere.
