Masters of Hardcore music label was founded in 1995 in the Hemkade in Zaandam by DJ Outblast and King Matthew.
Bass-D & King Matthew teamed up with other famous DJs like Paul Elstak and Buzz Fuzz.
[citation needed] In 1998, after a low profile period, the label Masters of Hardcore started to organize their parties as an independent and Bass-D & King Matthew decided to continue to produce Hardcore Music on the Masters of Hardcore label.
Masters of Hardcore organized a lot of parties in big music festival locations in the Netherlands (the Beursgebouw in Eindhoven, and the PBH-Hallen in Zuidlaren).
There also were parties in Germany (Dortmund Westfalenhalle, the event is called Syndicate now) and in Switzerland (different cities over the years).
