Ruffneck Records
Profile: |
Founded by DJ Ruffneck) as a home for his own unique sound, which would later come to be known as 'artcore'. The intent was to bring breakbeat hardcore to the Netherlands, but not everyone fully understood this. Breakbeats have always played a very important part in all releases on the label and combined with tearing Juno synths and heavily distorted kick drums it has left its permanent impression on the entire hardcore scene. This genre was usually labeled as "bouncy techno" or "happy hardcore" by some people tho. XSV were the financial backers, but in reality all A&R, and other duties, were handled by Patrick van Kerckhoven. |

One of the truely seminal and most important labels in hardcore music. Ruffneck records brought originality, creativity, power, quality and also community to the hardcore scene and it helped build the scene into the worldwide phenomena it has been for over 30 years.
Patrick van Kerkhoven (and all the bad ass artists he has brought forth) is the MAN! -

Edited 14 years agoAaah, Ruffneck records, noticed that there was no comment nor review posted at all. Ruffneck records and it's side labels Ruffex and Ruff Intelligenze, are my personal all-time favorite labels. Most of these releases are (co-) produced by Mr. DJ Ruffneck, Patrick van Kerckhoven, himself and I always loved his style right from the first release as Undercover Anarchist. He is the true inventor of Art-core and one of the producers in the scene who's out there purely for the love of music! Ruffneck records released a lot of classics such as Kingdom, World of the LSD , I'm the Fuck you man, Jieeeehhaaaa, etc. etc. This is LEGEND!!
