DJ Sy came through in the early hardcore years and became known for his scratching. He was a regular on the big nights and put out a lot of tracks that filled the sets through the mid to late 90s and into the 2000s.

The sound

Happy hardcore with energy and the scratching that set his sets apart. Worked a lot with Unknown and put out material that fitted the rooms at places like Hardcore Heaven and Helter Skelter.

Key nights / tracks

Played across the circuit including Hardcore Heaven, Helter Skelter and the bigger events. Sy & Unknown tracks were staples on the tapes and in the rooms for years.

What happened to them

Stayed active in the hardcore scene through the 2000s with regular bookings. Still associated with the happy hardcore sound from that period and remembered for the scratching and the Quosh output.
