Born from London’s 90s hardcore underground, Psycoptic’s roots trace back to multiple early aliases. Under the name Numb, he played nights at the Prince of Orange in Elephant and Castle and Db4D in Brixton, run by Steve and others. Tracks from this period were reviewed in M8 Magazine, the definitive voice of the UK hardcore scene.

Around the same time, a happy-hardcore track submitted simply under the name Mike to a Hixxy competition on Kiss FM went on to win airplay - an early moment of recognition, even though the track was never formally released.

Today, as Psycoptic, that same raw energy continues - blending 90s roots with modern hardcore production, and sharing the joy of raving, connection, and losing yourself in the music.

Always hardcore - music’s the core. Wired on the sound, sober raving for over 10 years.
