Hardcore Label owned by Alien T & Nightshift

Traxtorm Records is one of the most famous and respected hardcore labels in the world.
It was established by The Stunned Guys in 1995 in Milan (Italy) and it releases artists such as The Stunned Guys, Art of Fighters, DJ Mad Dog, Tommyknocker, Meccano Twins, Amnesys, AniMe, Unexist, Alien T, Nico & Tetta, The Melodyst, Placid K & Reflective Rage.
Traxtorm Records is also the source of the Hardcore Italia project.

Italian DJ/ Producer Amnesys was born in 1987, but his parents called him Dario from day one. 
Just ten years old, he discovered hardcore when he got a compilation of A Nightmare in Rotterdam 5. From that day, all the innocence was blown away. 

Dario started to listen to hardcore more and more and became curious how all of his favourite records were produced. He started making music as well and after years of hard work, he delivered his first piece of art on Impulse Records. "The Ultimate Motherfucker", which is still being played up to this day. These three tracks were also noticed by the Stunned Guys. Maxx and Giangy scouted the talented youngster and after two EP's on Impulse Records, he was ready for the big job: releasing an EP on Traxtorm Records. It turned out to be a brilliant move by the label managers, because the impact of Amnesys' "Mainstream Nitro" EP was bigger than expected. The four tracks dominated the dancefloors for months, got on nearly every hardcore-compilation in 2007 and the B1 "My Motherfuckin' Name" ended up in fourth place at the MOH Radio Live Top 100 2007, a chart based on the votes of the audience. 2007 was a crucial year in his career, but nobody knew that hell was about to break loose in 2008... 2008 was just one month on its way, when Amnesys dropped his "Worldwide Crisis" 12". 

From that moment on, Dario was no talent anymore, but one of the world's most important producers. Playing his record on Masters of Hardcore - Warrior Elite ( his first big performance in The Netherlands), the venue was nearly torn down: Amnesys put himself on the map, not only as a great producer, but also as an outstanding DJ. The EP was released and caused an earthquake in the hardcore scene. Every DJ over the world played "Worldwide Crisis", "Underground Revolution" and "Catastrophes", and Dario got booked for loads of parties in 2008. Just some highlights of his 2008 resume: Masters of Hardcore, Dominator, Defqon.1 and Project: Hardcore.nl. At the end of 2008, Dario heard about "Worldwide Crisis" being voted best record of the year by the MOH Radio Live-show audience. Thousands of hardcore-addicts said that the track was their favourite production of 2008. 

An insane year ended with the ultimate reward for Dario and of his skills. The expectations for the follow-up of "Worldwide Crisis" were as high as the Mount Everst, but Dario managed to match them. With his incredible release "Elevation", Amnesys proved that the "Worldwide Crisis" EP was not just an incident. The titletrack is a mainstream masterpiece, "4D Future" predicts the evolution of hardcore in 2009 and "Raw Generation" is a true romper stomper with an insane kick. All tracks are played by all major DJ's and get raving reviews from the crowd. Amnesys' hunger for getting people dancing is unstoppable, as he became one of the most popular hardcore DJ's from Italy. Getting booked by all big promoters and smaller clubs, Dario Renzi is one of the guys to become the next Italian emperor of the hardcore-scene.

I love to make melodic harddance music which sounds fresh. It also is important to me to include a story, not just a big drop.  Anyway, enjoy!

Alien T is a premier Italian Hardcore artist renowned for his diverse, high-quality productions and exceptional performances. His sets are marked by a masterful blend of atmospheric and high-energy tracks, showcasing his refined technique.

Throughout his career as a producer, Alien T has crafted numerous hardcore hits such as "I Am Not Perfect," "The Victory," "Ghetto Mentality," "The Baddest Madness," "Hydra," "My Mind Is Prepared," "Bullets in Their Heads," and the iconic "The Hammer of the Devil," which has cemented its status as a classic and was featured as one of the standout tracks of the past decade (2013 - 2023) on the Thunderdome XXX Compilation.

Alien T's music has garnered significant support from top artists across the Hard Dance spectrum and has frequently topped the charts of major online record shops. 

In addition to his prolific studio work, Alien T has performed at numerous major events including Dominator, Masters of Hardcore, Defqon.1, Resonate, Dance Valley, Q-Base, The Qontinent, Harmony of Hardcore, Ground Zero, Airbeat One, Hardshock Festival, Pandemonium, Let it Roll, Thunderdome in Italy, and many more across 20 different countries.

Alien T has also been involved in notable projects such as This is Hardcore (2012-2015) and Hardcore Italia (2009-2023), and was part of the legendary Traxtorm Records during its golden years.

In 2016, Alien T chose to stop releasing music as the Hardcore scene shifted in a direction that conflicted with his artistic vision and beliefs. Since then, his mission has been to explore new ways to return Hardcore music to its pure and essential form, emphasizing creative freedom over temporary trends and standards. Despite stepping away from the spotlight, he remained dedicated to this mission.

In 2020, Alien T began living with Matt Muscarella, also known as Nightshift. This collaboration fostered a special friendship, leading to daily exchanges of knowledge and ideas about Hardcore music. Their mutual vision, passion, and dedication culminated in the 2025 announcement of their own label, Deus X Machina Records. This venture aims to revitalize Hardcore music and elevate it to new heights.
