ARTIST: Bart Hard
About Bart Hard
Influenced by illegal stations and distorted frequencies from radio and television, Bart Hard started to cut cassettetapes to new music. In 1997 Bart got influenced by a musical genre known at that time as terror. It was not actually music, it was more to say the opposite of what music was. The noise and the harshness changed his ideas about what music really was.. The end of the millenium started Bart to make his journey through the (electronic) underground landscape. Here he found more and more influences from the past and present. Digital Hardcore and Noise were two of the most important discoveries to be mentioned, but also grindcore, the avant garde and ’80’s Industrial got his attention and sneaked in to his dj sets. In between he tried to organise some terror partys and in 2005 he became part of the Not Your Monkey Not Your Robot cru: with Jorrit, Bart and King Pin NYMNYR organises the breakcore events in Arnhem. In 2006 Bart Hard performed at partys like P.O.R.N., Tektron and Mayhem Outdoor, and organised some more obscure partys for fun. In 2007 he became one of the residents of Smackdown, organised by Element: Destruction, in Doornroosje, Nijmegen. Soon after, Bart Hard made his flights to England and Germany to shock more people. The noise that you hear activates your consciousness.
