Danny Masseling (born June 20, 1981 in Almere, Netherlands), best known as Angerfist, is a hardcore techno/gabber musician and DJ.
He is one of the most popular and widely recognized performers in the genre.
Masseling
was at the age of 16 when his first experience with music production
occurred. He had been working on his productions constantly. After
sending a demo out to BZRK Records, Mark Vos (aka Buzz Fuzz) contacted
him to do business. After a while of mastering and editing, BZRK033 was
born. Under the alias Menace II Society, the "Son Of A Bitch" EP entered
the market. Almost at the same time, the first Angerfist EP was
released on Overload Records. However, even though the track Chronic Disorder,
made Menace II Society a well known name, Angerfist would grow out to
be one of the biggest names in the scene. Tracks such as Criminally Insane and Fuck Off
were immediately recognized as relatively big hits.
It is from that
where Masseling first stepped foot in the scene. After releasing an EP
under the third alias Kid Morbid, he chose Angerfist to be his main
project.
Still excited about this sudden rush of records and the enthusiastic
hardcore fans, Angerfist continued producing and releasing tracks.
In
2003, the Sons Of Satan EP was released on Masters of Hardcore Records.
The idea for an Angerfist act, to bring the vibe to the parties would
soon appear. Bringing the hard, gabber beats, wearing hockey-masks and
hooded sweatshirts, was an instant success.
A year of parties and
performances went by, as Masseling worked on a record that would turn
out to become his biggest hit; in 2004, the Raise Your Fist EP was
released.
