Ruthless started spinning records in 1995, and shortly after that moment he was already making mixtapes for Radio Balans and Stadsradio Rotterdam.
He started as a resident DJ at Kozmoz (Belgium) and Maddox (Vlaardingen). Soon after that, he started playing at several places in and around Rotterdam.
