Gabba Front Berlin are a German hardcore techno band, specifically producing tracks falling into the gabba and speedcore categories. Sometimes they are known just by their initials, GFB.
The group consists of Steffen Reinecke, Ralf Schwarzenberger and Stephan Seidel and formed in 1996 after originally meeting up a few years previously in a Berlin nightclub named Bunker.
Although they have released a number of commercial tracks, nearly all of their music is available free on their official website.
In keeping with their genre, tracks of theirs frequently have high beats per minute (BPM). Lacrima Mosa Est, for example, has 480 BPM, although over the bass is a contrastingly slow ambient sound. A sample of this track is available in the Speedcore section of Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music.
Famous quotes containing the words front and/or berlin:
“A man’s destination is his own village,
His own cooking fire, and his wife’s cooking;
To sit in front of his own door at sunset
And see his grandson, and his neighbour’s grandson
Playing in the dust together.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“Oh, how I hate to get up in the morning,
Oh, how I’d love to remain in bed.”
—Irving Berlin (1888–1989)
