The Meccano Twins project started out in 2003 from the idea of 2 of the Art of Fighters members, driven by the need of a new breed of music, bleeding the hardcore mainstream together with darkcore and electronic (taking examples from artists like Prodigy, Aphex Twin, Daft Punk) without losing the vibe and power of the hardcore music. Now they are in charge of the artistic management of T.R.S.E., the Traxtorm's sublabel devoted to the experimentation.

With tracks like Tendrils of agony, Illusion and Breath they are now one of the most respected hardcore producers around, able to surprise and innovate with every new release.

In 2010 the project, after been carried out by Cristian Nardelli as a solo artist in the past 3 years, change shape again with the join of Josè Sendra, new producer and future frontman of the group. His arrival has immediately given a new effort to exploration of new sounds, even more experimental and alternative.

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.

Twenty years behind the decks, Tommaso Marra alias Tommyknocker is one of the hardcore scene's biggest players. With countless hit records and featured on hundreds of compilations, he's responsible for spreading Italian hardcore all over the world.

Starting off their career as "Sick Dj Team" in 2000, the Italian duo formed by Samuele Gozzo and Jacopo Stevenato, after their first release, reached a new dimension and developed a brand new sound becoming the artists known nowadays as "The Sickest Squad".

Their sound soon evolved to be what today it's defined as Sickcore as its purest, releasing popular tracks like Boomshakalaka, Minimal is Criminal, Blue, Zombie and many more.

With their popularity increasing as their sound slowly becoming their trademark in each and every release, TSS started to become a guarantee in the underground scene. This gave them the chance to perform at the most important parties and festival throughout Europe and faraway countries like Canada, Australia, Colombia and Japan, bringing their sound to be known worldwide.

This energetic and creative duo came up with their own label, "Brutale", in 2014, supported by Sonic Solution. The idea behind it was to give people an alternative to what other underground labels released at the time, in order to spread underground sounds of all kinds and genres throughout the globe. Once the label was created, they tried to pursue this aim by performing with their top artists what it is called "Brutale Act".

For the same and shared desire of getting as many people as possible to love and be passionate about their music and Frenchcore in particular, TSS together with two of the top artists on the scene Dr. Peacock and Billx, came out with a new project called "Frenchcore Familia".
This new format kicked off for the first time at Defqon.1 2019 where the Familia drove the crowd insane with thousands of people attending their sets and getting everyday one step closer to their goal.

Filippo Calcagni, better known by his artist name DJ Mad Dog, is an Italian DJ, producer,  and owner of Dogfight Records.

Known for his furious and flaming beats that range across all tempos, Italian Hardcore sensation Mad Dog is unquestionably one of the industry’s most consistent producers. Active in the scene since 1999 and an exponent of the Millennium and Modern Hardcore eras, Mad Dog has remained in an unshakeable position through all of the genre’s twists and turns. 

He’s performed on the world’s biggest stages at Thunderdome, EDC Las Vegas, Qlimax, Mysteryland, Dominator, and many more.

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.

On 1995 teams up with italian Hardcore legend Claudio Lancinhouse and start working in CL home studio, and after less than a year the first release was out: 

"Lenny dee and the Hardcore Warriors" on ISL records. It was a collaboration between them and the godfather Lenny Dee. 

The second records was the smashing hit "Real Motherfuckers EP" including the probably most famous track of the duo EXLXAXL.

After many releases on Industrial Strength, other releases followed on labels such as D-Boy and Mokum. 

In 1996 started djing as a resident at Number One, the club where everything started, along the side of his partner/hero Claudio Lancinhouse till 2000.

UneXist was born very early in the days (around 1997) as solo project of Jappo with the sound leaning towards brutality but it didn't fully formed until 1999 when the 1st UneXist LP "Disintegrator rising" on ISR was released.

From that day another big challenge started for Jappo.

He wanted to start from scratch and try to achieve the same goal as with J&CL but this time as a solo.
On 2001 he teamed up with his long time friend Lenny dee and found ISE.

they continued for 5 releases but they had to stop shortly after due the real bad time for their dark and rough sound in the hardcore scene.

Stubborn Italian never wanted to compromise his view of whats hardcore supposed to sound therefore he decided to take a break and move to NYC near his crazy mentor and away from the scene he didn't recognize anymore.

In NYC he just embraced his love for turntablism even more and expanded his knowledge of Heavy Metal and old school Hip Hop, which was the very spark who set his fire up for Hardcore music once again.

He literally closed himself in Lenny's studio for 6 months, working and smoking like a savage and he came up with the unique UneXist sound!

Before coming back to Europe he had few releases ready to be drop: "Fistortion", "Attack", "Liberate" just to mention a few.

By the time those records hit the shops UneXist started getting booked in Holland almost every week and he played at almost every big Hardcore event you can mention. 

On 2005 he released his 1st album Contagion on his new label DT6 Inc.

UneXist way of thinking about making music: “I started making music because I wanted to make something that other people wasn't doing and felt it was missing. I make music for myself first, than the fact that people digs it is a huge collateral...”
