'We Have Arrived' by Marc Acardipane is regarded as the first hardcore track and the blueprint the Dutch turned into gabber

‘We Have Arrived’, written in Frankfurt, Germany, in 1990 by Marc Acardipane (released as Mescalinum United), is regarded as the first hardcore track ever made. It pioneered a dark, distorted sound that formed the blueprint for hardcore techno. Its global impact came almost by accident: Brooklyn DJ Lenny Dee discovered it during a visit to Frankfurt, loved it, and issued it as the first release on his own label, Industrial Strength Records, in 1991. Dutch producers then took this blueprint and turned it into gabber — the specifically Dutch variant of hardcore. So gabber’s origin point is a German record, spread by an American DJ, remade by the Dutch.
