Enzyme Records came to be after Ruffneck decided to lay Gangsta Audiovisuals to rest. Contrary to popular belief Enzyme was not founded by Nosferatu & Other artists but by Ruffneck. The idea behind making the world believe that he had retired was to give all of his artists an equal chance to develop themselves fully without having to stand in DJ Ruffneck's shadow. Everyone believed his retirement to be real for at least two years; and some still do to this day. This was also the only option he saw to restart the label and continue it in a new style of hardcore. The move to Enzyme also produced the deliberate death of the 'artcore' sound made popular by Ruffneck Records.
