Offensive Records

Offensive Records is a Dutch record label specialising in hardcore techno and gabber music. It was founded in 2001 by Paul Elstak as a sub-label of Rige Entertainment. The label's first release, catalogued OFF 001, was the vinyl 'Rage', whose title track was included in several mixsets at events during that period. Over the following years, Elstak achieved success through the label. In 2002, Paul Elstak (under the name DJ Paul) teamed up with Italian group The Stunned Guys and MC Ruffian to produce the hit track 'Bombing Eardrumz'. The label also enabled DJs Mainframe and The Infamous to release their vinyl in 2003. The most recent releases under the label as of 2009 were 'Angels Deserve to Die' and 'Trashing My Scene', created by newcomers Beatstream and Radiate in September 2009. The tracks released on this label are similar to those of Paul Elstak: distorted basslines, a specific rhythm reminiscent of the military, notably on 'One Day (We Kill'em All)', 'Furious Anger' and 'This Is Our Territory'. In the late 2010s, Paul Elstak founded another label named Offensive Rage, dedicated to uptempo. The label is based in Rotterdam, Netherlands, and operates in the hardcore/gabber scene.
