Proto-Darkside (1983 - 1991) - Before The Darkside.

This list will be slowly migrated to my other user account in due course, as to be easier to maintain.

Proto-Darkside tunes that pre-date all that so called dark mania in hardcore jungle or darkcore (lol) music circa late 1992/93. It wasn't all about 1992 & 1993, the darkness was there long before...

For tunes to be candidates they have to contain more of a serious tone. And that might conjure up feelings or vibes of being sinister, melancholic, dark, neurotic, hypnotic, foreboding, doom-laden, tense, subliminal, thought provoking, manic, eerie, tragic, weird, heavy, hard, deep, evil, horrific, creepy, menacing, paranoid, ominous, just plain disgusting or all of the above !!

Many of the tracks listed below actually did influence the darker vibe which was to envelope the rave scene later on. Artists creating that style also heavily sampled these records to create their own unique sound.

In the styles of Techno - Early Hardcore - Breakbeat - Acid House - Electro - Rave and even good old House.

P.S. Big shout out to longtallerny @MasterGorn asin_denvici undercoverelephant anonycatandmouse and sir_ruffington for the extra suggestions/input!

P.S. If anyone thinks there are any tracks which they think should be included, feel free to let me know as this list is a work in progress & in no particular order either.
