The Art of Fighters history began in Italy in the year 1997. Their career took off as one of the fastest in the scene. It was the year 2000 and they were just 18th years old when they jumped onto the biggest European stages playing their first hit tracks 'Artwork' and 'Earthquake' while wearing their trademark: the terrifying hockey mask, similar to the one seen in the movie 'Friday the 13th'.Since then, they have been unstoppable: spreading throughout the entirety of Europe, USA, Japan, South America and Australia. They have continued to produce track after track, becoming one of the leading acts of today’sHardcore scene. Creators of anthems for the biggest events as Dominator, Thunderdome and Q-Base, their sound is constantly evolving. A sound which can be described as a unique mix of harmony and technicality, with the rawness and power that you expect to be found in a proper hardcore track.https://partyflock.nl/artist/2137

They are without any doubt among the most popular acts in the hardest form of hardcore. As some might know, the origin of The Sickest Squad was "Sick DJ Team" (2000). After their first release, they took the time to evolve to a new dimension:The Sickest Squad. Their sound moved towards "Sickcore" and they released many hits since 2005 such as Boomshakalaka, Opera Prima, Il clitoride, etc. In the meantime, The Sickest Squad got bigger and bigger due to their live-act legacy performing at the largest festivals and parties in the world. TSS is capable of driving the crowd insane with their very energetic core. From 2013 they joined Traxtorm Records with their first release "Minimal is criminal" and from there have been straight killing it. Stay tuned for more!https://partyflock.nl/artist/18808

Treachery’s obsession with hardcore had humble roots as he needed a music loud and annoying enough to mask the screams of the victims tied up in his basement. With endless nights listening to shitty Hardcore CDs, Treachery finally had a nervous breakdown which caused him to move back in with his disappointed parents and make a half-assed attempt at a DJ career. After reaching out to most promoters in the US, based on their feedback Treachery realized that if he wanted to play for people besides his upset neighbors, DJing just wouldn’t cut it anymore and he had to start producing. By hopping on a unicorn which flew over a rainbow all the way to Brooklyn, he dumpster dove through the bins outside the Industrial Strength Records offices until he found a rusted old Roland 909 and began to troll commuters & heroin addicts on the New York City subway with his non-existent musical skills. After enough practice and death threats, he finally made a few tracks which were of course rejected by every Hardcore label – but that would not quash Treachery’s enthusiasm. After prostituting his way back to Virginia, he finally found one promoter who felt sorry enough for Treachery to give him an opening slot DJing at a kid's birthday party. Because of his reputation and willingness to play for peanuts, Treachery’s booking schedule filled up quickly and he even managed to play Europe a few times though sadly Dutch customs confiscated his waifu body pillow and fedora. After being tired of 3 AM track submission calls, Industrial Strength Records reluctantly agreed to sign Treachery upon the condition he would never contact them again. What does the future hold for this rising star of Hardcore?https://partyflock.nl/artist/77390

Just as everyone else involved with any kind of art, his calling found him early on in his lifetime. With a name like Voyce the fact that he would inherit a love for spoken word could be considered cliche. Chief took to the microphone in 2006 with a fury that allowed him to share stages with numerous prolific MCs. In the summer of 2010 he was introduced to the Rave Culture by DJ/Producer Michael Phase. Michael offered the tips and tricks needed to understand what it was to perform to an Electronic Music audience and was the first artist that believed in his ability, allowing them to share numerous stages together. Chief quickly gained a passion for the Harder Styles of Electronic Music, developing an on-stage energy and aggression that could be rivaled by none. This allowed him to host numerous events and to rock the mic behind renowned artists such as Angerfist, Zany, The Prophet, Isaac, Technoboy, Evil Activities, Scott Brown, Unexist, Lenny Dee, Rob Gee, Delirium, Delta 9, Satronica, plus many more and many more will continue to come.Recognizing that the duty of an MC is to back up what the DJ is doing has kept his style beneath the "annoying" sound that many others can produce. His ability to adapt to any situation (mixing style, genre, technical difficulties, crowd energy, stage set-up etc) separates his stage presence. The biggest asset that he has is the desire to not move the crowd but rather to move WITH the crowd; reading their vibe and acting accordingly. With many screams and hands in the air under his belt and many more tricks and surprises up his sleeve, MastaChief comes with the promise that enhancing the experience of any stage will happen with ease.
