As an independent music publisher, Loud Industry focuses on dance music authors specializing in the harder styles. The company distinguishes itself by serving a niche and offering customized services, driven by both a passion for business and a love of music.

Since the early 1990s, the Netherlands has played a key role in the rise, development and popularity of genres such as techno, trance, rave, hard house, hardstyle and (happy) hardcore. The musical roots of founders Maarten van Driest and Bas Kaspers lie in that period. They were both responsible for vinyl buying for dance specialty shops, organised parties together, and played as DJs in the Amsterdam underground scene. Later, Maarten pursued a career in the fashion industry, but also remained active in the scene as a DJ with a penchant for the harder styles, while Bas played key roles at various record labels and contributed to the development careers of numerous artists.

By combining their strengths and experience, and with a strong focus on creativity, business acumen and a personal approach, Maarten and Bas know how to guide and support artists in achieving their goals, and getting the most out of copyright. Every author can count on the same personal attention and dedication, with flexibility, artistic development and creative collaboration being key.
