Can someone explain these two genres for me? I just can't put a finger on how to categorise them... I keep getting told I'm mistaking things for them that just don't fit into their category.

Quite a lot of people (not every1!) don't like freeform & trancecore when they first get into hardcore, it tends to grab a hold of people a little later on.

So what exactly differentiates trancecore/freeform from Trance or trancey Hardcore/Gabber?

Thats rite.. in '97 Billy Bunter + Rob Vanden changed the scene totally with the unique 'Trancecore' sound, the best being De-Sensitize, bodyslam and Future Dimensions Pt2. But the name got dissed in all the music mags so a change of name was needed...
FREEFORM WAS BORN...!!!!!!
It's a MAD MAD world..!!!

no, the gabber kinda trancecore started early 90's when the cenobite style was define by a more liberal use of higher pitched synths and gave a more trancey feel than the reular hardcore (gabber). It was labeled trancecore then. over the years, this kind of trancecore went dormant with the apparent demise of the cenobite label (which is once again active since recent times). Despite the dormant cenobite records there were stil organisations that still produced trancecore although little real releases saw the light. Still, some excelent work was done on online labels like tranceore.org, Xplicit records, xenotech records and so on...
Then after a while there came another labels that focussed it's first serious releases on the trancecore side of things (in collaboration with trancecore.org) and so the first 2 or three records that saw the light on Bionic records were records with trancecore from Ki-real, Ferox and Endymion. Now, cenobute is back and the trancecore sound is awake again (although still a bit drowsy ;) ).
these are the big lines in the story, there were more ppl making trancecore but the main players have been layed out here for you.
