Back again for the first time in 11 years. Known for their infamous collaborations on The Third Movement and Industrial Strength, Matt Green and Tripped have reunited in the studio at the end of 2025. With new music on the horizon for Madback Records, this is a set you don’t want to miss.
Hackney-born Matt Green has been shaping hardcore techno since the 90s, with a 30-year milestone coming up in 2026. From speedcore (as Ordeal) to slow, filthy doomcore and UK breakbeat, his releases and relentless DJ sets have torn apart dancefloors worldwide. Joining him is Madback Records head Tripped, a key figure in the alternative hardcore scene for over 20 years, known for his raw and wide-ranging sets blending rave, techno, industrial, acid and gabber. Together, expect nothing less than pure devastation.
[KRTM] played an important role in shaping Madback Records. Upon returning to the scene, he joined Tripped to rebrand the former Badback Records and also designed the label’s current logo. Together they sparked a fresh movement blending hardcore, techno and industrial — a vision that still defines the label today.
As one of the leading names in contemporary industrial techno, [KRTM] is known for his powerful sound with an old-school edge. With releases on labels such as ARTS, PRSPCT, BPitch, Madback and Industrial Strength, and performances at events like Bang Face, Possession and Defqon.1, he has built a strong global reputation. Expect a signature hardcore set only he can deliver.
A true hardcore pioneer, Miro began his career in 1993 as part of the legendary PCP crew alongside Marc Acardipane. With timeless tracks like Shining, Purple Moon, Bass Machine (as E-Man) and Gibmir die Bass (as Tschabos), he became one of Frankfurt’s most influential hardcore producers. Decades later his music still resonates worldwide — even leading artists like Reinier Zonneveld have revisited his work.
To showcase the full spectrum of his legacy, this set will dive deep into the raw Kotzaak sound. Founded by Miro in 1994, Kotzaak Unltd. became a defining industrial hardcore terror label, delivering a uniquely intense style for nearly three decades. Expect a heavy dose of Kotzaak madness, including classics like the legendary Demon Head.
Active since 1998, Waldhaus is one of the most versatile artists at the crossroads of hard techno, schranz, industrial and hardcore. With releases on labels like Industrial Strength, Artillery and Jason’s Mask, he delivered classics such as A Journey Through Time and collaborated with artists like Stormtrooper, Tymon and Jason Little.
His powerful live sets balance chaos and precision, moving through techno, industrial, hardcore and beyond while always telling a story. For this special set, Waldhaus will dive deep into his schranz catalog — expect a proper journey through the sound.
Straight out of Ghent, Belgium, these two lunatics deliver chaotic punk-fuelled terror, frenchcore and uptempo live sets—trashing guitars, eating microphones and remixing anything in their path—while their MATRAK sound fuses metal energy, distortion and brutal gabber kicks into a heavier, darker, brain-melting experience that has already torn apart stages at Defqon.1, Dominator and Tomorrowland.
WØRTAAL is a Belgium-based female DJ duo blending hardcore with live elements like violin and vocals, delivering intense, ritual-like sets where rave energy meets haunting melodies, while also being residents of the STIMULAR family and DECADANCE and curators of their own “In De War” event series in Belgium.
Ghent-based multidisciplinary artist Mathlovsky delivers intense live performances built around the Elektron Octatrack, blending hardcore techno, bass music, industrial, gabber and noise into raw, improvisational sets that push physical intensity and sonic limits on any dancefloor.
