The lord of darkness....

The whole dark hardcore scene can trace back its roots to this man.An absolute musical genius.The amount of top class tracks he produced under different aliases throughout the 90's is phenomenal.He bared his soul through his music (something not many producers can do)

The true stamp of greatness is someone who can produce timeless music, track that you can play 15 years later and it still doesn't sound out of place.Take Mescalinum United - Reflections Of 2017.The fact he named the track reflections of 2017 in 1990.He knew this track would stand the test of time when he made it.

Seriously, I'm amazed how many hits this guy has pumped out under various names, without me even realizing it. I'd take a stab and guess he might be one of the most sampled producers ever, especially with tracks like Inferno Bros - Slaves To The Rave and Marshall Masters - Stereo Murder (he probably also holds the record for the most aliases!). But this doesn't stop here: he has made countless of massive stompers on his various labels such as Planet Core Productions, Dance Ecstasy 2001, Acardipane Records, Resident E Recordings, you name it.

Leading from here, great many producers have joined him and/or remixed his tracks, other legends such as Aphex Twin, The Horrorist and Miro. This certainly guarantees quality.

This man's truly a genius, and it's a shame he went on making more commercialized tracks the last couple of years. His discography would have been perfect without these stains.

To me Marc Acardipane is god of rave and whole electronic music. I mean his tracks are original, he doesn't try to copy someone else, his style is unique and he always were one step ahead everyone else. And even now, when you listen to his old releases it doesn't sound old or retarted, his tracks are amasing and doesn't matter with who you try to compare him. If I would be asked to pick the best track of Marc I woudln't know which one I should choose, couse this producer made a very high number of hits. But If you would ask which track was worst, then the answer would be "Maria", which was made together with Scooter (german dance music grout).

Review by Hardmageddon Mar 12, 2003
The creator of the 1st Hardcore track ever: Mescalinum United - We Have Arrived. One of the best producers in the world. With his unique PCP style he conquered the hardcore crowds. with his unique dark tunes he conquered even the most dark and hard gabberheads.
People talk too much about Jeff Mills and Aphex Twin. In my opinion, Marc beats them all...
