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.

THE ACID QUEEN
Saskia Slegers, better known as Miss Djax, or as many say 'The Acid Queen', is living proof that age doesn't necessarily always brings peace. For more then 35 years now, she has stomped on the face of techno and acid with hard punishing beats and radioactive sounds. The ferocious releases on her Djax-Up-Beats label helped Chicago and Detroit sounds gain foothold in Europe, as Djax Records was one of the first European labels to put out techno in the early nineties.

Miss Djax started her DJ career at the age of sixteen. Her musical roots can be traced back to disco, funk and new wave. At the age of eighteen she formed the band 'B-System', a new wave band in which she played the bass guitar. 
Having worked in record shops for many years, Saskia met a large number of promising artists whose music never got released because, according to the Dutch record-companies, it was "not commercial" enough. That triggered her to start her own label and in 1989 Djax Records was founded. 

Miss Djax had her international breakthrough when she played at the notorious MayDay rave in Berlin 1992. One year later Germany's leading dance magazine Frontpage declared her 'DJ of the year'. In the following years her name was always in the international top 10 rankings. 
In that same year (1992) Saskia went on a 2 week trip to Chicago and Detroit to meet her favourite producers in person and to see with her own eyes were it all had started. 

Four years in a row, from 1995 to 1998 she took part in one of the major techno happenings: The Love Parade in Berlin. In 1998 Djax even had the privilege to start at pole position! Many people will remember the 20-metres long red/silver Djax-Up-Beats rocket with 20.000 watt of acidtechno terror on board! Miss Djax also played two times, in 1996 and 1998, at the Love Parade end manifestation at the Victory Tower in front of millions of people. 

Besides the worldwide respected releases on Djax-Up-Beats, Djax Records is also known for being the first company to release Dutch spoken rap-music, later called Nederhop. In 1991 Saskia discovered The Osdorp Posse that soon became the most popular rap-band of the Netherlands! In 1995 they won the Dutch Popprijs for being the most innovative Dutch band! Also ABN and Spookrijders were two of Djax’s successful nederhop bands. 

Not only the music but also the looks of Djax Records have always been important to Saskia. Since 1991 she is working with Alan Oldham, the famous illustrator from Detroit. Till today Alan made hundreds of beautiful illustrations and five Miss Djax comics for Djax-Up-Beats. Saskia also worked with  Zender and the famous American illustrator Ed Repka, who is well known for his Megadeth album covers.
