HARDCORE TANO*C is an independent doujin Japanese music label focusis on various forms of hardcore techno such as UK hardcore, happy hardcore, and gabber. The label was founded in 2003 by [[Yoshikazu Nagai]] (who at the time used the Akai Hito alias), originally under the name of ヾ(゜Д゜)ノハードコアタノシー (Hardcore Tanoshii), but changed to its current name of HARDCORE TANO*C in 2007 after the release of the album ''HARDCORE SYNDROME''. The label features a store which sells the most notable doujin music releases, and is well known for their frequent live events that are regularly organized throughout the years, including the annual ''TANO*C TOUR'' series of events and the ''S2TBTANO*C'' events done in collaboration with [[Kosuke Saito|kors k]]'s [[S2TB Recording]] label.

Since 2011, HARDCORE TANO*C has also been very closely linked with BEMANI, most notably in beatmania IIDX and SOUND VOLTEX. Many of HARDCORE TANO*C's members are frequent contributors to BEMANI, and KONAMI has even collaborated with the label for a few of their own album releases. Their presence also expanded to the ''GROOVE COASTER'' and ''Taiko no Tatsujin'' series.
