Hardcore Beats, the most disgusting Tear-out Breakbeat label in existence, was initially set-up by DJ Deekline in 2001. A sister label to Rat Records, its purpose: to release Breakbeat tunes of a more “Hardcore” nature. Ollywood, with his Junglist training, was bought in as co-owner and label manager to increase the filth.

Pioneering the Tear-out sound: the frantic, anthemic energy of Drum & Bass, rolling along at Breakbeats funkier tempo, has led to award-winning mix cds, 1000+ people raves and 4 years later, Rat and Hardcore Beats going their separate ways, leaving HB to run unadulterated through the filthy tear-out sound.

With a history of nurturing fresh new talent, the artist roster now consists of Ctrl-Z, Screwface, Stereo:Type, Dilemn, VENT, The Magnet Men, Ken Mac, Mr Reload, Ed209, Equalizers, Timmy Schumacher and Dom Almond.

You can catch HB artists playing out all over the world, with nights promoted in Australia, Hungary, Russia, Turkey, Japan, Israel, Germany, Greece, Switzerland, Austria, The Netherlands, United States, Georgia, Belgium, Serbia, Romania, Canada, France and of course Spain, home of the biggest Tear-out raves!

Over the years the stable has received major support from a veritable who's who of the Breakbeat scene: Pendulum, Prodigy, Stanton Warriors, The Freestylers, DJ Icey, Plump DJ's, The Autobots, Breakfastaz, Tayo, Freq Nasty, Ellis Dee, Ratpack, Krafty Kutz, Shut Up & Dance! Aquasky, Simply Jeff, Uberzone, Rennie Pilgrem, Laurent Garnier, Annie Nightingale, Ils, Slipmatt, The Ragga Twins. Orbital's Phil Hartnoll.

Tracks from the Hardcore Beats back catalogue can also be heard on the multi-million selling Fifa Street video game series and Rockstar's Midnight Club LA.
