London based breakbeat label founded by DJ Dee Kline of Rat Records in 2001, current label boss Ollywood has held the reigns since 2003. Continues to raise the bar in pioneering the Tear-out Breakbeat sound: Drum & Bass influences at Breakbeat's funkier tempo.

Taking over where the shift in tempo from the original old skool hardcore to drum n bass jungle left off and incorporating all the best elements and energy of the original UK rave sound, Hardcore Beats gave birth to a 'true' breakbeat label at 135 bpm.
Fusing the motif of a snycopated breakbeat with the blazing synthesis of multiple oscillators and upfront party arrangements, with fun being the main priority - Hardcore Beats has continued to dominate the breakbeat scene with music full of cheeky unforgettable hooks and dancefloor-destroying basslines.
Having coined the term 'tear-out' head honcho Ollywood has nurtured artistic talent, and given his performers a vehicle to grow into fully fledged DJ superstars who now play all over the world.
With a back-catalogue chock a block with classics and still going strong, and with monthly parties to road-test these future bombs Hardcore Beats continues to be the most bad-assest, funkiest, dangerous, rump-shakin breakbeat label known to mortal man.
