Patrick van Kerckhoven (born 1970, alias DJ Ruffneck is a darkcore or gabber DJ and producer, originating from Alblasserdam, Netherlands. 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.'
