Where is SLVL from?

SLVL, also known as Senseless Violence, is a DJ and producer from Maastricht in the Netherlands. His official artist profile also lists Maastricht as his base.

Biography

SLVL is the industrial hard techno project also known as Senseless Violence. From Maastricht in the Netherlands, he became active in 2022 and built a sound around hard kicks and rough, direct melodies. The Kick Dealer nickname reflects that focus, while his sets connect hard techno with influences from hardstyle, hardcore and oldschool rave.

He co-founded Altruism Records with USH. Their partnership also has a separate performance identity: SLUSH, the name used for their back-to-back shows. Altruism is the record label; SLUSH is the shared show. His solo catalogue and collaborations include The Last Airbender (VIP), TIMMERCLUB (SLVL Grenade Kick Edit), S6TP with KLOFAMA and SLUSH ANTHEM with USH.

His 2025 releases brought the signature kick to a wider audience, followed by BARREL KICK in early 2026. His programme has expanded from Dutch clubs and events to international stages. Hear the shared side in his Nacht Wacht B3B with Kruelty and USH, available here with the recording and tracklist. Alongside the current singles, an album is planned for 2027.
