Warface is a pillar of modern rawstyle: the Dutch producer and End of Line Recordings boss whose relentless kicks and Live for This brand made him a fixture of the hard stages.

Warface (Youri Claessens from the Netherlands) turned an uncompromising vision of [rawstyle](/new-rawstyle-releases) into one of the scene's strongest personal brands, anchored by his End of Line Recordings label.

### Two names, one project

The Warface project began as a two-man operation: Claessens as its face and co-producer, with hardcore producer Remco-Jan Prevoo (known as [Triax](/artists/triax)) working alongside him in the studio during the early years. As both careers grew, they amicably split the workload apart, and Claessens has carried Warface solo since, shaping it into exactly what the name promises: hard, direct, built for the front rows.

### End of Line

As head of End of Line Recordings, Warface controls his own output the way modern rawstyle's biggest names increasingly do: album-scale projects like 'VENGEANCE' and the 'Live for This' compilation series arrive on his schedule, in his sound. That sound blends raw's brutal kick design with melodic hardstyle's sense of scale and a [hardcore](/new-hardcore-techno-releases) edge inherited from the project's roots, which is why his sets translate to both the raw stages and the mainstages.

### In the front rank

Warface's tracked catalogue (over 130 releases) places him firmly in rawstyle's modern top tier alongside [Radical Redemption](/artists/radical-redemption), [D-Sturb](/artists/d-sturb) and [Act of Rage](/artists/act-of-rage), and a generation of newer names like [Killshot](/artists/killshot) and [Rejecta](/artists/rejecta) has come up in the space he helped define. Festival crowds know the drill by now: when the Warface intro hits, the pit opens.

Every new Warface release lands on the [Hardstyle Release Radar](/playlists/hardstyle-release-radar) the day it drops. The full tracked catalogue is listed above.
