The Story The Pitcher started out as a studio project in the year 2000. With the upcoming harder styles, Michel Pollen, the producer of “The Pitcher”, started producing hardstyle orientated tracks like “Pump It Loud!” and “Start Rocking”. Though seemingly unknown, The Pitcher already had a huge influence in the hardstyle production scene, producing for Donkey Rollers, Zany and Dozer. The Pitcher-tracks were successful but there was no DJ act to support it.
