Little dutch history lesson:
I can only tell you about the gabber scene: it simply died because it got too popular. All the kids were imitating it by wairing the clothes and acting like gabbers. The commerce in Holland jumped in on that and started making gabber cd's for kids etc, plus there came a few artists who made gabbers look dumb in their parody songs.
Nonetheless, gabber is returning from clinicly deathness and getting more loved again, but the tunes wich are made now are still nothing listening to the old ones.

Basically what Little Theseus says is the history in short.

Once I wrote a whole story about the history of ID&T.
Maybe you can find it with the search. It was in this section of the forum (Europe-Holland). That will explain some things more clearly.

I found the thread in which you told the history of ID&T and the gabber scene. Good job! I didn't even know that Tiësto and Corsten had produced hardcore tunes Thanks for the lesson

Now, I've got just one question left: what about Eboman? Is he still producing?

I've never heard of this guy but I did a search with a Dutch seach engine and found a website (Dutch archive of national popmusic history). They reported a producer named Eboman stopped producing in 1998.

Really? I saw once the video of his single "Donuts with Buddah" and got totally addicted to that thing - it's some kind of experimental acid breakbeat... really cool. I always thought he was famous in Holland because of that video and because of what I had read in Junkie XL's "Saturday Teenage Kick" album. If you have it, you can see that Eboman is in the "thanks to..." section So I thought he was one of the pioneers of the post-hardcore experimental music there or something

edit: if you look for his tune, be sure to get the "Depth charge Freak out" version -> it's my favourite
