The Unfamous – Hardcore With No Compromise

Since 1993, Vincent – better known as The Unfamous – has lived and breathed Hardcore. Inspired by the authentic energy of the early Thunderdome compilations, he began producing his own tracks in 1995, laying the foundations for a career built on passion, intensity, and respect for the roots of Dutch Gabber.

In 2001, he took to the decks and fully embraced the dual role of DJ/Producer. After several years of shaping his sound and identity, he launched The Unfamous project in 2013, focusing on a pure, uncompromising Gabber style. That same year, he dropped the explosive “Fuck Your Life EP” on Megarave Records, marking the beginning of his professional journey.

In 2014, he hit hard with “Rock n Core” on Partyraiser Records 005, which climbed to #1 on the Hardtunes charts for two weeks. He followed up with the “Blow Your Brains” EP, further establishing his name in the international Hardcore scene. The momentum continued with high-profile bookings such as Pokkeherrie (Germany), Project Hardcore (Netherlands), and Sonic 23 (Switzerland). He closed the year with “Kaboomized Bitch” on Partyraiser Records 009.

2015 was a turning point: Paul Elstak personally invited Vincent to join the iconic Offensive Records. That year saw the release of the “Baddest Motherfucker EP”, featuring solo bangers and collaborations with Paul Elstak himself. He contributed to several Offensive compilations (OFF054, OFF055), working alongside Partyraiser, Radiate, and more. His bookings included major events like Falcon (NL), Pont Aeri 23 Years (Spain), RAVE 2 (France), and Nightmare – The Dark Shadows (NL), for which he co-produced the official anthem.

In 2016 and 2017, The Unfamous continued to dominate with multiple releases on Offensive Records, culminating in his debut album: 13 tracks of pure, relentless Hardcore.

After relocating to Canada in 2017, he joined Overloud Events (Montreal) in 2020 to help grow the Hardmusic scene across the country. In 2022, he launched his own Labe: Hardcore Canada Records, giving a platform to confirmed and new talented artists, for more visibility of the hardmusics in North America.

As of 2025, The Unfamous continues to push boundaries, releasing brutal tracks on Dutch labels like Offensive Records, performing across Montreal, Quebec, and beyond, and representing the  essence of Hardcore wherever he goes.
