With a career as long and eclectic as hardcore itself, Sietse van Daalen AKA Da Mouth of Madness is The Voice of Hardcore.

In 2016 he was one of the few hardcore MC’s to release his own album. Old Dog New Trixx featured a wide range of co-producers, including Sei2ure, F. Noize, Partyraiser and Dr Peacock, and presented a multifaceted hardcore sound.
