Some may claim the title, some may think that they were the originators but historic facts show that there's only one true Godfather
of Hardcore: Paul Elstak. With the start up of his label Rotterdam Records back in 1992 and unleashing his firstrelease under the
Euromasters guise, Paul Elstak subconsciously created the future for a whole new music genre, soon to be known as hardcore.
By steering the Rotterdam Records label in the directionof worldly fame, Paul Elstak rapidly became the personification of hardcore,
copied by many but hardly equaled.

As the inventor of the genre, Paul Elstak brought hardcore music to the masses by developing a new event phenomenon and named
it A Nightmare in Rotterdam, nowadays known as Nightmare. With infamous editions in the Energiehal in Rotterdam, Paul Elstak
created a tremendous group of hardcorefanatics and loyal visitors of all Nightmare events to come. As the patron of hardcore and
the creator of the Nightmare events, it was evident thatPaul Elstak would create his own Nightmare on a double CD sooner or later.

Nightmare - Create The Future is Paul Elstak's personal blueprint of how a Nightmare event should be portrayed. Similar to the
Nightmare event on the 4th of December 2010 in Ahoy' Rotterdam, this Nightmare compilation is divided in two "areas": present
hardcore and early rave. CD1 showcases the very best of the current scene, selecting furious tracks from the Paul Elstak lab
such as The Evolution Of Hate, I'm Not An Addict and God's Will (under his The Hitmen alias) and from icons such as Dione,
DJ Partyraiser,Tommyknocker, Tieum, Dano and many more. This first disc even contains no less than three official
Nightmare 2010 anthems!

The second disc offers the very best of the past and considering Paul Elstak's rank in hardcore history, who better than the man
who rocked the hardcore cradle to pick 'n choose the early rave gems? An eighteen track travel through hardcore times offering
tracks from DJ Isaac, DJ J.D.A.,Shadowlands Terrorists, Frankfurt Terror Corps and Bodylotion amongst others, accompanied by
Paul Elstak classics marking the absolute hardcore milestones of far-from-forgotten times.
