An active DJ since 1985, Kerckhoven has also been involved with various record labels. In 1989, he and Jayant Edoo formed 80 Aum Records. When that closed in 1991, he went on to form Ruffneck Records and its imprints Ruffex and Ruff Intelligenze.
After a disagreement with parent label XSV Music, Kerckhoven formed Gangsta Audiovisuals and its imprint Supreme Intelligence, then in 2001, Kerckhoven also closed these and moved all artists to Enzyme Records. Enzyme has three imprints: Enzyme K7, Enzyme VIP and Enzyme X. JUGGERNAUT, another pseudonym of van Kerckhoven during his Ruffneck years, has released a single, "Ruffneck rules da artcore scene!!!", borrowing the melody of In the Hall of the Mountain King, which reached eight in the Dutch top 40 in 1997 ("Dutch Top 40 archive".
His latest imprint is called Tainted Audio and was formed to fulfill his desire to keep on experimenting with drum and bass influenced underground hardcore music.
Hardcore DJ, producer and label boss Patrick van Kerckhoven has been in the hardcore scene for over thirty years. 'It turns out that many techno and electro artists from all walks of life are very much inspired by the old hardcore scene. I'm also working on hard techno myself and I notice that it's a bit of familiar territory here and there.' In the DJ Shortlist he goes all the way, from neo-soul and soundcloud rap to hardcore and rock-hard techno.'

Opgezwolle - Freestyle 7 minuten 3voor12xl
In 2001 Opgezwolle competed in a contest called De Oogst van Overijssel. After winning the final in Enschede in May 2001 they got a place in the regional final of the GPNL, and in the summer they recorded their first album Spuugdingen op de Mic.
Opgezwolle made it to the final of the GPNL where they competed with Raymzter. The jury thought that Raymzter made a better impression and he won the contest. DJ Delic got a prize as Musician of the Evening. On the evening before the GPNL final, they presented Spuugdingen op de Mic in Hedon, Zwolle. The album received overall positive reviews from critics.
Opgezwolle at Vera, Groningen in 2006
In 2002 Opgezwolle began their Homegrown Tour. They caught the eye of Dutch label TopNotch and in mid-2002 a record deal was signed for three albums.
On 5 December 2002 they released Opgeduveld, a collaboration between Opgezwolle and the Rotterdam rap group DuvelDuvel (whose members are Duvel, Rein de Vos and Supahdupah). This CD was also well received. In 2005 it was rereleased in both standard and collectors editions.
In 2003, Opgezwolle released Vloeistof/Brandstof, a double-CD, with the second CD being an empty recordable CD. The songs of Brandstof were downloadable from Opgezwolles website. After performing at many festivals such as Lowlands and the Liberation Day Festival, the initiation of the FC Zwolle Stadion, Planet Rock and the TopNotch Tour, they needed something new and they went back in the recording studio to work with other Dutch MCs like Raymzter, C-mon, Usual Suspects, Duvel, Rein, Pollum, Blabla, Blaxtar, Typhoon and beatmaker Kubus.
On 29 November 2004 the most recent CD of Sticks and Kubus hit the stores, named Microphone Colossus. Sticks named the CD after Saxophone Colossus, an album by Sonny Rollins.
The Buitenwesten Tour with Typhoon, Jawat, Kubus and Duvel went all through the Netherlands and was a great success, with many sold out halls.
After a long period of silence from the band, on 23 January 2006 the third Opgezwolle album Eigen Wereld was released. The album features collaborations with other MCs like Pinda, Jawat!, Duvel, Winne en Raymzter. The album contains 21 songs, and almost 70 minutes of music. It reached to number four in the Album Top 100, the highest ever chart position of any Dutch rap album.[citation needed] Their tour for this album also received good reviews.

![Laurel Aitken - Skinhead
Laurel Aitken - Skinhead
Born in Cuba of mixed Cuban and Jamaican descent, Aitken and his family settled in Jamaica in 1938. After an early career working for the Jamaican Tourist Board singing mento songs for visitors arriving at Kingston Harbour, he became a popular nightclub entertainer. His first recordings in the late 1950s were mento tunes such as Nebuchnezer, Sweet Chariot (aka the gospel classic Swing Low, Sweet Chariot) and Baba Kill Me Goat. Aitkens 1958 single Boogie in My Bones/Little Sheila was one of the first records produced by Chris Blackwell and the first Jamaican popular music record to be released in the United Kingdom. Other more Jamaican rhythm and blues orientated singles from this period include Low Down Dirty Girl and More Whisky both produced by Duke Reid.
Aitken moved to Brixton, London, in 1960 and recorded for the Blue Beat label, releasing fifteen singles before returning to Jamaica in 1963. He recorded for Duke Reid, with backing from the Skatalites on tracks such as Zion and Weary Wanderer, before returning to the UK, where he began working with Pama Records. He recorded hits such as Fire in Mi Wire and Landlord and Tenants, which led to a wider recognition outside of Jamaica and the UK. This cemented his position as one of skas leading artists and earned him the nicknames The Godfather of Ska, and later Boss Skinhead. He gained a loyal following not only among the West Indian community, but also among mods, skinheads and other ska fans. He had hit records in the United Kingdom and other countries in the 1950s through to the 1970s on labels such as Blue Beat, Pama, Trojan, Rio, Dr. Bird, Nu-Beat, Ska-Beat, Hot Lead and Dice. Some of his singles featured B-sides credited to his brother, guitarist Bobby Aitken. Aitken also recorded a few talk-over/deejay tracks under the guise of King Horror, such as Loch Ness Monster, Dracula, Prince of Darkness and The Hole. Aitken settled in Leicester with his wife in 1970. His output slowed in the 1970s and during this period he worked as an entertainer in nightclubs and restaurants in the area including the popular Costa Brava Restaurant in Leicester under his real name Lorenzo. In 1980, with ska enjoying a resurgence in the wake of the 2 Tone movement, Aitken had his only success in the UK Singles Chart with Rudi Got Married (No. 60)[5] released on I-Spy Records (the label created and managed by Secret Affair. Aitkens career took in mento/calypso, R&B, ska, rock steady, and reggae, and in the 1990s he even turned his talents to dancehall. He performed occasional concerts almost until his death from a heart attack in 2005. After a long campaign, a blue plaque in his honour was put up at his Leicester home in 2007. Punk band Rancid cover Aitkens Everybody Suffering on their 2014 LP Honor Is All We Know.
