Ah, Charley Lownoise and Mental Theo, my childhood heroes! These tunes bring back memories from the 90's! Those where the years. I have spend many moons on these tunes. And yes we Dutch know how to build a party ;)
@@pirsensor1186 But we will be back. hardcore army will not stay quiet. Next year wel will dance once again on festivals. And this year indoor events will be back. Can't wait. haha
@@sfhderoos6289 don't fool yourselves, it was never a hardcore army or else you would have never stopped partying over a mild flu. Zwabbers noemen ze dat, nog steeds.
Even if you hated this kind of music back in the 90s, it brings a smile to your face now, the anthem of your youth growing up in The Netherlands, Belgium and Germany!
The third (Your Smile) and the fifth track (Wonderfull Days) are their own tracks. The other tracks are from collegue dj's. Theo gets the chills because Wonderfull Days is their first ever hit dating back to 1995 and the response of the crowd after 15 years is still massive.
@@rienbalder2348 Giving me a song with the original lyrics doesn't mean Wonderful Days isn't their own track. They made an original track and just happen to use the lyrics of an old song like a lot of dj's do in the business.
@Rien Balder Cover or not, what he means is that other tracks are by other artists. For instance, Have You Ever Been Mellow is by The Party Animals, Somewhere Over The Rainbow is by Marusha (eventhough it's also a 'cover').
Defqon is with a q because the organizers are q-dance. Just like all there other parties there is a q somewhere in the name. Told ya we dutchies know how to throw a party
I have been at Defqon several times… best time of my life! Put on a short, some sneakers and for the ladies… a good bra!😂 then “hakken” till you drop! Everyone is your best friend at Defqon, people hug strangers and dance together like there’s no tomorrow. The vibe is amazing, love and joy and no agression at all! People often think that because the music sounds kinda “voilent” there would be a lot of anger at these party’s. They couldn’t be more wrong. Rave party’s are the peacefullest party’s of all❤️
Worked in Gelredome, worked at Defqon, worked at other similar events. After everyone was inside went to party every time as well. Missing the big festivals in their old form. But glad for QDance and the other companies to give us a lot of At Home festivals to keep connecting with us. For me 6 times Qlimax in a row was really insane, or Luna, One Man Show, with all the collabs. Defqon 1 will stay number 1 for me.
All these songs are my childhood! Love it so much!! Fun fact: house music, hardcore and happy hardcore all originated in the Netherlands. The great dj's of today (who most of them are Dutch as well) find the roots of their current edm music in this.
Hardcore for sure did, but you completely miss Detroit, Chicago and the UK in general have also been influential for house music. It is hard to pinpoint the exact origins, though most likely not just the Netherlands... Although we would all like to claim it, credit where credit is due; Chicago
I would have liked to agree with you, but it's different. House music comes from America, Hardcore from Germany and Happy Hardcore from England. Belgium was also very big in house music and was actually one step ahead of the Netherlands. The Netherlands made Hardcore great in the 90s they came all over from other countries to party in the Netherlands. The Netherlands has given a great diversity on all types of house and also the reason why the best DJs come from the Netherlands.
This musicstyle is named Gabber (you can see it as Dutch slang for "mate")/Happy Hardcore. A primarily Dutch music genre, although the Germans, Belgians and even British produced some acts as well. Charly Lownoise & Mental Theo are both Dutch hero's, or even called ancestors, in this genre.
This takes me back to my 15 year old self, going out to clubs for the first time, dancing all night long. The charts back then consisted of either this, or rock and I loved both, eventhough you were kinda not supposed to. ❤
Working hard during the week. Party hard during the weekend. Concerts, Festivals, Theaters, cinema's. This is the way we Dutch people roll. And if we go out, we go out! Can't wait for everything to open up again :D EDIT: We are still active mate. You want to go to Defqon once, hook me up and you see how we party here!
You haven't been to Ireland then? Yeah the Dutch have good DJs but no one can party like the Irish!! Listen to Rebuke hes our treasure to the world! Mon the Irish!!!!!!!!!!
I am so enjoying your reaction on these festivals! Your face says it all, joy and disbilief. Your eyes almost poped out. My, face hurts from smiling.. 😂😂💜🍀
I love that you dedicate so much video's to the Netherlands ! Do you have Dutch roots in your family ? If not, i hereby declare you an honourary Dutch man !
Hell yeah! This is definitely bringing back some good old memories! 👍🏻👍🏻💪🏼💪🏼😎😎 Charly and Theo are one of the godfathers of happy hardcore 😁 Wonderful days….my all time favorite 💪🏼💪🏼
@@MrKhushrenada Techno originated in Detroit. And true, it is the Godfather of house music, the Europeans and the Dutch in particular made it big and evolved it into many different new styles. Happy hardcore is pretty much a Dutch invention as far as I know.
the song order: dune - hardcore vibes party animals - have you ever been mellow --- [don't know the name, know the song] neophyte / bodylotion - always hardcore charly lownoise & mental theo - wonderfull days marusha - somewhere over the rainbow --- [ don't recognize the last one]
Have you never been meellllloowwww mannn this country made me addict to this kind of music i dont know how this came in my sub box but they really know whats oldschool!!! Love the reaction too 🤣🤣🙏🏽
Obviously you missed the craziest times in the 90s! Great Times, unbelieverable Parties, loud Musik and heavy Bass! You've to checkout more! These Guys are legends but there is a lot more!
Its called gabber Mucic. From Wikipedia: Gabber (/ˈɡæbər/; Dutch: [ˈxɑbər]), is a style of electronic music and a subgenre of hardcore techno. It is characterised by fast beats and samples, and was developed in Rotterdam in the 1990s by producers like Paul Elstak. Seminal early labels were Rotterdam Records, Mokum Records, and Industrial Strength Recordings. The word "gabber" comes from Amsterdam Bargoens=slang and means "friend".
Goosebumps. I'm back in high school.... Instantly. Good MDMA, XTC pills. Made from Sassafras oil from (mostly used) the American Sassafras tree, also used by the Native Indians. Aah good times. LOL 😂.
@@TrickyDicky2006 This is Charlie Low Noise and Menthal Theo at Mysteryland 1994 in Haarlemmermeer, The Netherlands: ruclips.net/video/ZEI-XknwSg0/видео.html
We called it happy hardcore with bits of breakbeat...the music just brought people together..this was coming out just as I left school and it was an absolute buzz going to raves or clubbing...Elstak,Hixxy,US,CL&MT and Dyewitness were the vibe,and continue to be.
I never went to the parties, either in the 90s or now, but this is still the soundtrack to my youth. I had all the Dune CDs - Hardcore Vibes is from there - and most of the Lownoise/Theo/Elstak stuff.
Haha awsome i actually was there at defqon in Almere in that year during that set! Was one of my favorite sets of the day ^^ Was just a young 18yo, best memories! And to answer your question yes its a yearly thing, this 2010 edition was one of the last editions on the legendary beach at Almere. Nowadays its a weekendfestival at biddinghuizen, way bigger location:) Nice reaction video for you defqon power houre 2018 or 2019! Crazy houre on the mainstage;)
charlie & Theo, nice guys. They've been there since the beginning of the hardcore scene, just like me. And that's early 90's.... 1st party i went to they were there, i was 17 at that time ....Dang i'm getting old :P XD
10 minutes into the video I realize I have picture of myself from the VIP stage with this stage on the background. It's only now I realize I was there, I thought it was a more recent edition lol

The 'misspelling' of Defqon is because of their label/brand. Q-dance, Defqon, Qonnect, Qapital, X-qlusive, etc.
Now that was just brilliant.
Yeah this takes me baaaaaack!!
