Sebastian Hoff a.k.a. Promo was born on the 12th of April 1976, and started mixing soon after ;).
When he was 19 years old, he already had a hit on the compilation album Thunderdome IX - The Revenge Of The Mummy, his alias being Section-8 (together with The Prophet). A second hit was a remix of the song "Don't Speak" by No Doubt, but he mainly produced this track to bully his brother who played in a rockband.
Melvin Pelupessy has been around in the hardcore scene since the 90’s. After his breakthrough on Babyboom Records, The Viper started his own label Viper Beatz in 2006. He made seven successful releases on the imprint, but decided to join Neophyte Records in 2011. His discography contains hardcore smashes like “Come As One”, “Bulletproof”, “X-Terminate”, many ace remixes for tons of artists and collaborated with artists like Neophyte, Evil Activities, Endymion, Nosferatu and Korsakoff.
Tha Playah, born as Jim Hermsen in 1982, has developed his own particular style from the very beginning. Few artists had a start that can be compared to the storm this man unleashed in 2002. With enormous hits on the very popular Neophyte label he has proven himself record after record. Being one of the few artists ever to be contracted from the very start of his career to a label as prestigious as Neophyte Records, this dj made it very clear he deserved that chance.
Second Phase were Joey Beltram and Mundo Muzique.
1. Endymion, three hardcore artists from the Netherlands, are rated among the most popular producers, live-acts and DJ-teams in the world. The outfit was founded in 1997 and the combined talents of the three members quickly resulted in their first release on Supreme Intelligence Records in 1998. This jump-started their career, and in addition to a string of successful releases on Supreme Intelligence and its successor Gangsta Audiovisuals, Endymion has also recorded for such top international hardcore labels as D-Boy, The Third Movement, Babyboom and Neophyte Records.
Giorgio Coniglione started to listen to techno/hardcore music in 1991. In 1998 he moved to Rome, bought a PC and began to make music on it. In 2002 he sent a demo cd to Hardcore Blasters, his tracks were good enough to be released on his first E.P Beat Motherfucker EP. To make his tracks he use only a simple PC without any other instuments.
You have artists with that unique special talent, Robert alias Dyprax is one of those artists. The moment Masters of Hardcore received his demo they knew they had encountered something special and they needed to act fast.
Within months the Dyprax productions got played by all major hardcore artists and received the praise of the people on the dancefloor.
With already a release on the worlds biggest hardcore label and an international scheduled agenda this is the new hardcore revelation.
Although Evil Activities nowadays 'officially' consists only out of Kelly van Soest (after Telly Luyks left the group in 2003), two new members have joined this project: - Michael Kramer (alias DJ Dazzler) -> MC
- Niels van Hoeckel (alias Chaosphere) -> Keyboard However, they are only part of the live-act crew (during performance on stage). In the studio, Evil Activities is only Kelly van Soest.
