Mokum Records, the iconic label from Amsterdam, had long been synonymous with the relentless beats of hardcore and gabber music. For decades, they had been at the forefront of the genre, pushing the limits of speed and intensity with every release. But as the world evolved, so did the audience, and new horizons beckoned the label’s legendary artists.
It all began with a dream—a vision of spreading the hardcore sound beyond the borders of Europe. The city of Bogotá, nestled high in the Andes of Colombia, had a burgeoning underground scene that was hungry for the raw, unfiltered energy that only gabber could deliver.
Tellurian, also known as Leviathan, was the perfect choice. With his unrivaled mastery of dark, pounding beats and a reputation for creating an atmosphere of controlled chaos, he was the ideal ambassador for the first edition of this groundbreaking event. As he stepped onto the stage in Bogotá, the air was thick with anticipation. The crowd, many of whom had never experienced a live set from a hardcore legend, were on the edge of their seats.
The night in Bogotá was electric, buzzing with anticipation. Word had spread fast—“Fucking Hardcore Colombia: Second Edition” was back, and this time, it was bigger, louder, and darker than ever before. The underground scene was thriving, and everyone knew this was the event that would push boundaries.
When DJ Chosen Few took the stage, the crowd erupted in a mix of cheers and roars. Known as a legend in the hardcore world, his presence alone commanded respect. With his signature mask obscuring his face, he raised one hand, and the crowd fell into a hushed anticipation. Then, without warning, he unleashed a storm of beats—dark, aggressive, and unrelenting.
With the success of the first and second edition, the demand for more was overwhelming. Mokum Records knew they had to return to Bogotá, but this time they needed something special, something that would surpass the intensity of the first event. The answer came in the form of The Twins Artcore, known for their relentless energy and innovative approach to hardcore.
The Twins Artcore, were legends in their own right. They had been at the forefront of the hardcore scene for years, known for their seamless blending of brutal beats with haunting melodies. Their live performances were more than just sets—they were experiences, immersive journeys into the heart of the genre.
As The Twins Artcore prepared for his set in Bogotá, the excitement in the city was palpable. The venue was packed to the brim, with fans eager to witness the next chapter in this epic saga. From the moment he took the stage, The Twins had the crowd in the palm of their hands. His set was a masterclass in hardcore, each transition flawlessly executed, each track carefully selected to build the energy to a fever pitch.
But it wasn’t just the music that made the night unforgettable—it was the connection between the artists and the audience. The Twins fed off the energy of the crowd, pushing him harder with each passing moment. By the time they dropped their final track, the venue was a seething mass of euphoria, a testament to the power of hardcore music.
The success of these tree events marked a new era for Bogotá’s underground scene. Mokum Records had brought the thunder of gabber to the Andes, and the city had embraced it wholeheartedly. But more than that, these events had forged a bond between the artists and the fans, a connection that transcended borders and languages.
