Hardcore Power Radio

Hardcore Power Radio ranks 46 among 302 stations in the Netherlands. High enough that the country hub carries it in its own tables, and far enough from the head that the neighbours below are a genuinely different set of stations from the famous ones.

Hardcore Power Radio broadcasts in Dutch, which is the language most of the Netherlands' stations in the directory use. The country's listing records six languages in total, so the Dutch stations are the body of the dial rather than the whole of it.

Nothing else in the Netherlands' listing leads with gabber. The tag is self-declared, which makes it a statement of how the broadcaster positions itself rather than a classification anyone audited, and on this dial that statement is unique.

Hardcore Power Radio streams at 192 kbps, which is exactly where the Netherlands' dial sits: the country's median is 192 kbps. Being unremarkable on this axis is the normal case and it is fine. 77% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps or better.

The stream is served from hardcorepower.beheerstream.nl, which no other entry in the Netherlands uses in this snapshot. Nothing else in the listing shares its fate: if this address stops answering it is this broadcaster's own outage, and if it plays, it plays.

Hardcore Power Radio keeps its own site at hardcorepower.nl. The address sits under the Netherlands' country code, which lines up with where the directory says the station broadcasts from.
