Ruff ’N Tuff Records is an underground vinyl label founded in 2023 by artist Stekker, in collaboration with UNIT Breda—the iconic record store behind long-running tekno cult imprint Teknosucks Records (est. 2011), now acting as the label’s publisher.

Dedicated to jungle, drum & bass, tekno, hardcore, and gabber, Ruff ’N Tuff champions a quality-over-quantity ethos. It’s a label run for artists, by artists, with every release featuring artwork created exclusively by human artists to keep the culture authentic and raw.

Despite its young age, the label’s output has already earned international recognition, with tracks receiving support on Rinse FM, Kool FM, and even BBC Radio in the UK. Ruff ’N Tuff releases have also been championed by respected underground heavyweights including Sully, Tim Reaper, Dwarde, and Coco Bryce.

Carving out a space for forward-thinking, uncompromising sounds, Ruff ’N Tuff Records is built to push the underground—loud, physical, and unapologetically ruff.
