Masters of Hardcore
Encyclopedia
Masters of Hardcore is currently the biggest and best-known independent gabber music record label
.
Founded in 1995
in Zaandam
, Netherlands
, MOH was set out to revive the then stagnating gabber scene, which was considered watered down and blending into other "non-purist" genres like happy hardcore
and hard house.
MOH was founded by Dutch DJ's Bass-D & King Matthew and DJ Outblast, soon agglomerating purist hardcore performers such as DJ Buzz Fuzz, DJ Paul Elstak
and The Masochist. The raw and straightforward sound struck a chord with the people who were once fans of oldskool gabber, and soon, MOH became the number one hardcore label in the world.
MOH continues to organize large hardcore events (the latest "Statement of Disorder" being in April 2011 and upcoming "Depths of Despair" in November 2011) in the Netherlands
with over 20.000 attenders, as well as releasing annual compilation CDs.
