He also played the decks in countries like; USA, Spain, Belgium, France, Germany, Swiss, Austria, Italy, UK and Poland.
His favourite styles are Hardstyle, Jump/Tek, Oldschool and of course the early Hardcore is where his roots are! When Ruthless plays, you can expect fast mixing, exclusive tracks and many different harder styles in one dj set.
As you know, Ruthless is also a producer. He made a few remixes in 2000 and 2001, of Reeloop - Fucking Society and Da Klubb Kings - Dont Stop with Koen Groeneveld (Klubbheads).

After the release of Ruthless & Vorwerk - I Feel Like Dancin’ and Jack & The Ripper - Whores In Da House they enter the Dance Charts Top 3 with both these records! ’Remote Control’, Ruthless’ first solo record, was a big hit in Holland, Belgium and France!
The following records of Ruthless & Vorwerk / Ruthless / Vorwerk / Noise Provider are all big clubhits.
All records were released on Ruthless’ own label: ’Square Beats’ and Square LTD.
In 2009 he started a new recordcompany, called The Qompany with Maarten Vorwerk. But in 2010 he decided to go on by himself. Now he can focus on his DJ and Production activities even more.
