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.

Patrick Van Kerckhoven is considered to be one of the founding father’s of the hardcore sound. He is specifically responsible for initiating the creation of a sub genre of hardcore that became known as “Artcore”.

Inspired by the House Music coming from Chicago and Detroit, he began his musical career at just 15 years old performing at various clubs around Holland. Most of Europe had not yet been exposed to House, let alone any form of Hardcore. Patrick kept pushing the Hardcore sound throughout the 80′s and 90′s, producing hits such as “Mindcontroller”.

In lieu of his DJ and Producing successes, van Kerckhoven started his own record label “Ruffneck Records” in 1993. This label released over 250 tracks including several major hits such as “Ruffneck Rules Da Artcore Scene” which even managed to hit the European music charts at number 8. After a brief stint making Drum and Bass music with his label “Ruff-teck”, van Kerckhoven continued to craft and create new hardcore sounds.

Around 2000 he launched labels “Supreme Intelligence” and “Gangsta Audiovisuals” which concentrated on the newly invented “Darkcore” and “Artcore” styles respectively.

After many ups and downs within the Hardcore scene, he created Enzyme Records in 2001 to make a fresh start. Patrick did all of the work behind the scenes, in order for his roster of artists to grow and gain popularity without having to worry about any of the stigma attached to his earlier projects. Patrick managed to fool the hierarchy of Hardcore and the entire music scene into thinking that he had retired. The truth was that he was busy at work the whole time managing and creating for Enzyme records and it’s many infamous sister labels such as “Enzyme X”.

Currently Patrick runs several of his own record labels that are prominent in various genres like Hardcore, Hardstyle, Industrial and Hard Techno. These musical elements as well as those that cannot be described are all pieces of the unique puzzle that makes up Patrick Van Kerckhoven and his musical vision.

[Français]
Darktek est un artiste français originaire de Normandie, inspiré depuis le début par la culture « web » et mêlant mélodies envoûtantes et humour déjanté ! Ayant débuté dans la scène Free Party et composant depuis 2007, il surfe sur tous les styles mais est devenu définitivement célèbre pour ses morceaux hardtek/tribecore.

Il aime mélanger les styles dans ses productions et les saupoudrer d'electro chill, de breaks neurofunk ou de screech rawstyle. En 2015, il lance avec son ami Mimaniac le side-project « FAKE » positionné exclusivement sur le hardcore, revenant à ses racines !

Darktek a sorti son 4ème album « Bass Bomb » en 2020. Dans cet album, il mélange de nombreux styles différents dont bien sûr le hardtek mais aussi le hardcore, la trance ou le rawstyle. S'éloignant légèrement des samples humoristiques francophones qui caractérisaient ses précédentes productions, il se concentre désormais sur les mélodies, la fluidité et l'efficacité.

Lors de la sortie de cet album, Darktek a également mis à jour son set live, qui est un mélange très énergique de ses derniers morceaux et de certains de ses vieux classiques.

Since the beginning of 1998, Komprex aka Fabio Di Benedetto is present in the extreme music scene as a producer. Based in La Spezia, a small city on the italian west coast, he started listen to electronic hard music when he was just a child: in 1993 he bought his first cd "Techno Shock" and start to become a distorted sound addicted boy. But be just a listener it's not good so he tried to produce something during the years with his old Amiga and then in '98 with his first PC and a basic program: Modplug Tracker. Favourite style was high bpm speedcore and terror and after few months he was member of a lot of worldwide "trackergroups". His style become better track after track and a lot of people liked it. Since 2001 he played in a lot of parties to diffuse the Italian Speedcore message. His principal label was the italian Cerebral Destruction, but he released also two autoproducted CD then on USN, Underground For Ever, Special Forces, Speedcore Records and Masters of Speedcore. Today Komprex is one of the most appreciated extreme artist. Aphex Twin played his track Worldwide Shit in several 30000people parties since 2003. In a period when the speedcore/terror scene is composed by too much low quality productions, the italian way makes the difference. Since 2004 he left Modplug and started using the pro tracker Renoise and two years ago he switched to Mac OS X and its well know software Logic Pro.  In 2009 he released a project with Noisekick on Masters Of Speedcore with brutal and a industrial metal tunes and on Psychic Genocide and Noistorm with Dj - D-Tox with some new industrial tracks. His style is becoming more raw and technical, the brutal and fast production are now mostly reserved for the group Speedkore,  with Komprex as singer and producer,  making a remix of the track "Caught in the Crossfire" of The Berzerker and releasing the first split  EP with the italian death metal band "Lacerater". The style of the band is cybergrindcore and they played like a metal band in parties such as Hellraiser vs. Megarave, Ik Ben Je Bitch Niet and Ground Zero Festival.  Last year one of his track, played several times by Aphex Twin was included on an ATP documentary and in 2010 he released a new brutal track on Headfuck Records and new "hardsound" productions are coming on Neurotoxic.
