AniMe
High-velocity Italian hardcore that hits with the force of a sledgehammer. Distorted kicks, industrial textures, and pure mainstage adrenaline for high-stakes energy.

Barbara, known professionally as AniMe, is a central figure in the Italian hardcore scene and a global ambassador for the genre. Emerging from the D-Boy Black Label in the early 2000s, she initially specialized in the darker, more abrasive subgenres of industrial and darkcore.
Her transition to Traxtorm Records in 2007 marked a pivotal evolution toward a more expansive, mainstage-ready sound that maintained her signature grit while increasing her melodic and rhythmic complexity. Her 2010 debut EP 'Detonate' is widely cited as a landmark release that helped define the modern 'Hardcore Italia' sound. Critically, she is respected for her technical proficiency as both a producer and a DJ, consistently ranking high in global DJ polls. Her influence extends beyond her own tracks through her label Absolute Records, where she champions a bold, distortion-heavy vision of techno and hardcore. 1, representing the bridge between old-school industrial foundations and contemporary high-energy electronic music.
