The Outside Agency

The Outside Agency, often revered as maestros of the hardcore and crossbreed genres, is an electronic music duo hailing from the Netherlands. Comprised of Noël Wessels (also known as DJ Hidden) and Frank Nitzinsky (also known as Eye-D), the pair have engineered a sinister alchemy of hardcore techno, industrial, and drum and bass, forging a sound that is as innovative as it is intense. Since joining forces in the mid-1990s, The Outside Agency has become synonymous with the darker edges of the electronic spectrum, marrying brutal beats with meticulously crafted soundscapes.

Over the years, The Outside Agency has left an indelible mark on the hardcore scene, with a litany of releases that showcase their ability to continuously evolve and push the boundaries of the genre. Their discography is sprinkled with significant releases such as "The Way Of The Exploding Fist," which was remastered in 2023 to the delight of fans new and old, and "Crossbreed Definition Series Part 4," another testament to their defining role in crossbreed's subgenre. Tracks like "The Raw Universe (The Outside Agency Remix)" and "Operation Thunderbolt (Original Mix)" highlight the duo's propensity for thunderous kick drums and atmosphere-laden melodies. With every EP and remix, including their explosive "The Hardcore Party EP" and the groundbreaking "Operation Mindflash EP," The Outside Agency continues to prove that they are masters at sculpting the sound of the hardcore underground, engaging audiences worldwide with their relentless energy and peerless production quality.
