The Outside Agency

As true dissidents within the Hardcore scene, The Outside Agency has always had their own unique sound. This was already evident through their first three releases, which they produced for Mokum Records in the late 90s.

After that period, Hardcore suffered a drastic change of direction - the two members of TOA (DJ Hidden & Eye-D) no longer felt at home in the genre and focused their attention on Drum & Bass instead. Around 2001, Hardcore transformed yet again, but this time they were very pleased with the turn it had taken, thus pushing them to start producing and playing Hardcore again with renewed vigour.

After a string of successful releases on several international Underground labels such as Black Monolith Records and Otaku Records, the two founded their own successful imprint - "Genosha Recordings" - which is now one of the leading labels in dark Underground Hardcore. In 2008, the two would set up "Genosha One Seven Five" for their Hardcore and Drum & Bass Crossover material. A third label called "Genosha Basic" was set up in 2016 for Acid and Techno material and The Outside Agency is currently working on getting their fourth sub-label called "Accelerate Recordings" ready for a number of 2024 releases.
