Endymion
Endymion is a Dutch hardcore techno act founded in 1997 by three childhood friends, Bart Revier, Bas Lint and Jelle Neys, who signed to Cardiac, the label owned by Patrick van Kerckhoven, in 1998. The trio built a reputation across more than 25 years of releases and DJ sets, becoming one of the acts widely credited with shaping the sound of Dutch hardcore during that period.
Their catalogue blends emotion and melody with the raw intensity typical of hardcore techno, a combination that has distinguished their sets from more strictly aggressive hardcore contemporaries. Endymion's singles output has continued steadily, with releases such as Raveolution appearing on streaming platforms well into the act's third decade of activity.
Based in Wateringen, the group has maintained a consistent lineup since its founding, a rarity within a genre where acts frequently change members or dissolve after a handful of years. The trio's longevity has made them a reference point within the Netherlands' hardcore scene, with their DJ sets and productions continuing to draw on the same blend of melodic and raw hardcore elements established at their 1997 founding.
