ARTIST ANNOUNCEMENT: ARVID & MESSI4H
We proudly introduce DJ Arvid and Messi4h, two names shaping the future of early hardcore, each with their own unique journey and sound.
DJ Arvid, a veteran from Utrecht, has been a staple in the early hardcore scene for over 20 years. His style is deeply rooted in the ‘90s, combining raw, unpolished tracks with powerful vinyl sets. Arvid’s performances reflect the essence of early rave, early hardcore, and terror—heavy on energy, nostalgia, and pure intensity. His dedication to the authentic sound of hardcore makes him a respected figure, known for bringing crowds back to the roots of the genre.
Messi4h, emerging in 2022, represents the next generation of early hardcore. After starting his musical journey in psychedelic trance, he transitioned into early hardcore, where he found his true passion. With a modern take on the classic sound, his productions combine hard-hitting kicks and energetic melodies. Thanks to DarksharkIndustries, his tracks quickly gained attention and were featured on some of the biggest early hardcore stages. Since stepping behind the decks in 2023, Messi4h has rapidly developed his DJing skills, delivering high-energy sets that captivate audiences both in the Netherlands and internationally.
Together, DJ Arvid and Messi4h bring a perfect blend of old-school authenticity and fresh, modern energy to the early hardcore scene. Expect powerful sets that take you on a journey through time, while pushing the boundaries of the genre forward.
