Rotterdam Terror Corps, often abbreviated RTC, is a Dutch gabber act formed in 1993. Originally formed by five Dutch DJ's (DJ Distortion, MC Raw, DJ Reanimator, DJ Petrov, and DJ Rob), currently there is only one of the original DJ's left, namely DJ Distortion. DJ Petrov and DJ Rob left to pursue individual work, Reanimator (Patrick Moerland) produced the first album and left twice, the second time in 1995 permanently after an argument with DJ Distortion. In 2002 MC Raw was replaced by Cyriel Brandon, better known by his stage name "RTSier", due to health reasons. RTSier is since that time the MC and liveperformer on stage. The group has gained a notoriety of its use of eroticism, with each live performance containing female strippers and pyrotechnics. After MC Raw was replaced, he was still able to perform occasionally.
DJ Distortion (George Ruseler) is the main producer while MC Raw (Ricky Peroti) used to add vocals, this role now occupying RTSier.
Rotterdam Terror Corps has also worked with many other DJs and producers, including DJ Paul Elstak, Bass-D, The Headbanger, Neophyte, King Matthew, and Dr. Macabre.
