Rotterdam Records

Profile:
The First Dutch Hardcore/Gabber label. Founded in 1992 by Paul Elstak.

After almost 10 years (a bit less) of dedication and hard work Paul Elstak decided to quit at Mid-Town Records to start his own label Offensive Records at Rige Entertainment.
DJ Neophyte and DJ Panic took control of this label and 3 other labels (Forze Records, Neophyte Records & Terror Traxx). And they changed it completely, making more room for new talented producers and they changed the sound of Rotterdam Records. If you compare the older releases with the new releases you can definitely hear it.
Sublabels:
Rotterdam Records Classics, Rotterdam Records Special, Rotterdam Tekno, Terror Traxx
Parent Label:
Mid-Town Records

Review by Aug 25, 2006 (edited over 3 years ago)
This label just embodied the scene at the time from 92 to 94, but talk about going downhill fast! Every release before ROT036 was pretty much a riot.. Bald Terror, Hard Attack, Euromasters, U.N.O.R., RTS (the merry x-mess 12"), top, hard, takin the piss, hooligan gabber. Then all of a sudden it just lost the plot, crap ital gabbers, happy hardcore, cheese etc.. haven't touched a new record since 1994.
