Hardcore till I die, yo..
Just to first give shout out to Protocollie and other AC DJs - yer music is great and can get me on the floor anytime ;] Buuuut....
Is anyone else in furry fandom into hardstyle or hardcore techno? Technoboy, Davide Sonar, D-block & s-te-fan, The Pitcher, Showtek, Headhunterz, Abyss & Judge, the KGBs, Frontliner, Angerfist, Art of Fighters, S3RL, Evil Activities, Playah, Korsakoff, Promo are all on my setlists.. Or happy hardcore... Dougal & Gammer, Brisk, Ham, Weaver, Trixxy, Fade, Darren styles, Eclipse, Jon Doe Scott Brown... DJ Sharpnel... I get told this kind of music is hard to dance to, too niche a style not enough people like it whereas you're "safe" playing mellower, slower house or 80s remix tracks... or that people are tired of techno and electronic and would rave to phil collins or jazz or some shet... but for those of us who actually DO like it lemme hear a shout from anyone else out there who actually *gasp* likes the harder, faster electronic.
If the main floor DJs don't wanna spin this stuff maybe we can get together for a separate dance off somewhere. 
Some samples and primer for those who have no idea what i'm talkin about:

Renard will be playing this year, you know :]
Proto is doing a great job of getting a variety of DJ's and sounds into our multiple rooms. With the introduction of the Sandstone Club for more mellow music, the Main dance room for awesome dance styles, and the Fursuit dance room for fursuit friendly dances and possible video requests....I'm certain that there will be a lot of great music happening at Anthrocon this year!
Remember....you may not find the exact style you're looking for, but we hope that with the great assortment of DJ's at Anthrocon, that you'll find something that keeps you happy.

Way way way long ago, I used to be super into hardcore - I played UK hardcore back in the late 90s-early 2000s. I don't anymore, but I still have CRATES of 12"s from Raver Baby, UK Dance, Nu Energy Collective, and Next Generation/Blatant Beats among others sitting around that I pull out from time to time at home when I'm feeling nostalgic :]
We actually have two hardcore DJs this year, which is probably one or two more than we'll have from here on out (I'm gonna see how it goes, but keep in mind it's more of a niche thing.) I'm gonna see how it goes, though! Rukkus is playing Friday night 1-2am, and Renard (of VulpVibe) is playing Satuday 1-2am, so this is a good year for the hardcore lovers in the crowd. :]
OH AWESOMESACE. You furs are the best ;]
Ah PC I remember talking to ya at furry new years about your old vinyls... would love to see some sometime, or hear rather 
I have a few of the bonkers albums on mp3, eyeopener has got to be my favorite track ever of any style
OPEN YOUR EYES
SEE ALL THE LOVE IN ME
I GOT ENOUGH FOREVERRR
DON'T BE AFRAID
TAKE ALL YOU NEED FROM ME
AND WE'LL BE STRONG TOGETHER
Oh baby.. theres so much love in me we're gonna need extra towel
Hmm... I listened to a few of the above clips. Does Gabber fit in there anywhere? Specifically songs like this:
(The video is amusing to watch, too. Shaved heads FTW!)
Yussa.. I think gabber and hardcore are kinda the same thing
i'm no expert or dj but there seems to me that there are two branches/schools of hardcore, the angry/death kind like scott brown and angerfist and the happy hardcore kind like brisk, dougal & gammer:
dougal & gammer - guitar hero http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOytmMCglKs
Love it.
In case anybody saw me at the convention, I was the guy wearing the HTID in the Sun 09 shirt (as in Hardcore Til I Die, a UK event in lloret de mar, spain. A 7 day event)
Oh and Gabber is a sub-genre of the hardcore genre, there are many other sub-genres too, such as happy hardcore and freeform.
I happen to spin hardcore myself (yes on vinyl). If i get better maybe ill volunteer :3
Hope to see a lot more hardcore in years to come
@Genki, ever heard of DJ Timz0r?
@Proto, Im actually friends with Rukkus, to bad i missed his show 
Howdy Im Fujimaru the Happy hardcore husky been in the dj game three years now and yeah killer hardcore lookin to dj AC11!

So please if i make the cut make the show for i cater to the raver.
you're probably going to need to send in an audition.
and by probably, i mean definitely. you're not even in consideration right now.
What email address did you use? Auditions should be sent to dance-2011 AT anthrocon.org.
If you verify you're sending it to that address, you can also reach me at , just be sure to put DJ AUDITION in the subject because google won't automatically tag it for me.

Dude. Stomping is ALWAYS necessary! ^^ Gotta have that beat that's like a kick in the head, just like PCHT!!!! OH WHAT!? GAHHH!! /melbourneshuffle
Ooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!
Hey guys here's hoping i submitted my demo!
I love hardcore techno. I have a euro-trance box set three discs, and its got "Feel the Vibes" by Ravers Paradise. I love it! I replay it over and over again on my ipod!
please, let's refrain from making comments that would suggest you've been selected, since nobody's been informed whether or not they're playing it would be jumping the gun to lead people to believe otherwise. :]
Recent hardcore cd release I liked: Fracus & Darwin - Balancing Act (<-- thats a link to the page) very cheap even for US cash being exchanged over paypal and some of these singles are really great!
Wow, awesome to see all the replies to this thread in recent months, I've come a long way since I originally posted & been to a few raves in NYC, hardstyle & hardcore events (yes they do exist), met some hard dance djs & fallen deeper in love. I'm in love with it all.
I'd love to see some more UK style hardcore at fur raves :3 Fracus & Darwin are good... The euphoric sounds and themes just fit the untamed, carefree mindset of much of the fandom so well! Maybe its a niche market but its a niche more people need to be exposed to dammit xD
http://soundcloud.com/dj-kaworu you lot should feel free to check out mah stuff just remember if you download it and like it tell your friends!
I will be playing Hardcore this year on Friday night at the dance! Hope to see all you lovers of the faster styles, and to give you a preview of the energy I'm bringing that night, check out a show from a few weeks ago:
