Interesting as im writing this its the part about happy hardcore and his view on the dutch happy hardcore for commercial reasons eg charts, money etc. Thinking maybe Mr Elstak?? Dont get me wrong i like a lot Paul Elstak's stuff, the hard and the happy. Just read a few bits before about the dislike towards those chart styled tracks. To be fair there were other producers too who made charty eurodance sounding happy hardcore. And in all honesty, I liked a lot of it. Guilty
Remember being in a Rezercetion reunion in Edinburgh think it was 2001 got into the club and there was a guy with his top off with a ruffneck tattoo the full of his back dedication 😂
The Scottish rave scene is something else!! I came from England a few times to go to breahead arena in Glasgow, at the time I’d never been to Scotland and I was shitting it abit hearing I would get done in Being English but ended up being the friendliest rave and best raves Iv been to! And the crowd is just constantly having it! So always have a lot of respect and love for the Scottish scene and people for making me feel welcome
Ruffneck seems like such a nice guy. He was a legend in Scotland and mid 90's he was defo up here loads - maybe every week was an exaggeration but defo a couple of times a month on average with events like Fubar, Nosebleed, Rezerection, Fusion and the odd showing Happier places like Non-Stop and Metro events.
Now that was an awesome insight into a Dutch DJ/producer, loved the little storyof diss reaction and Scott brown. Crazy that Scotland was his favourite place..I always remember the tape packs with the foreign djs with there flags like Charly lownoise, ruffneck,Lenny Dee. They always seem to offer a better variety of acts than the southern events👍
This is so relatable to me on different fronts. I started DJing as a 15 year old Dutch boy in the 90's (also opening on a Ruffneck night at the local youth center). Now 25 years later I am watching this interview sitting on my sofa in Scotland. Ruffneck has always been both an outsider and an absolute icon in the Dutch scene. I was aware of the Scottish scene in the 90's but only since I've moved here found out more about it. Living here now, although the music is different, I can still see the massive difference between Dutch (I would say) spoiled crowds and the Scottish Gabbers that just want to fucking go!! Have you considered interviewing The Outside Agency as Dutch hardcore scene representatives? They have been combining breakbeats and hardcore kicks since the 90's too and are now also crossbreeding with the UK sound. Very intelligent, well spoken and friendly lads as well!
Just finished watching the whole interview. So interesting. Easily your best interview to date. It's amazing how someone who's English is their second language can pick up on cliche's/figures of speech etc and can not only hold a conversation but capture your attention. I can barely speak English as my first language lol
I think the Dutch in general have a very high standard of English. I've been listening to gabber for 25 years and still need too use google translate for the tracks where they speak Dutch 🥺
As a Dutch Ruffneck fan, it's very illuminating to hear the backstory behind Patrick's label and personal trajectory. A lot of unanswered questions finally got answered!
He asks why the dutch People like the hardcore so much? In our country the hardcore is so "normal"... it was a subculture and it is accepted by many older people to. If we are celebrate a birthday party, my grandparents are dancing with us on big hardcore tunes. Because Hardcore is a "thing" in Holland. I started listening Hardcore when i was about 10 years old, i also like other genres but still play and spin early hardcore every week, because it never bores me.... we are Holland...and we are the Hardest that's for sure! Really like the intervieuw thanks a lot.. Ruffneck still rules the artcore scene
Interesting insight into how the Ruffneck sound and name came from the UK scene. New Dutch early hardcore still has a mix of kicks and quieter breaks in the background. Which sounds great to me.
just watched this interview... DJ Clarkee used to hammer his tunes in the 90's....as a jungle fan i used to sneak off to the scary technodrome upstairs in the sanctuary in mk looooool
I'm from USA and I grew up with some of the tunes here and there, but never knew much about the Dutch scene, so this interview really opened my eyes! This dude sounds so wholesome. Awesome interview! Glad to see you guys branching out with various hardcore outside of the UK!
just commenting to let you know that theres not only dutch and british ppl watching the podcast, +1 vietnamese here as well. fascinating to learn about the history of gabber having such a huge influence from breakbeats in the UK . hardcore never dies !
I really enjoyed this podcast. Great job. Nicely done. Next dutch dj could be darkraver. He has also a great story. Also drokz is something different. Would like to see him being interviewed.
Excellent Excellent Excellent interview as someone obsessed with the rave/hardcore scene of 90s love all these 👏👏👏 . Ruffneck a legend so many similarities between uk a Dutch scene with the politics of the scene and the chessy hardcore being made for money and charts. Bigger names than ruffneck in Holland made chessy numbers for the charts under different names for the 💰 fair play to him for keeping it real 👏
Great interview, Ruffneck and Ruffex are some of my favourite labels of all time and it’s amazing to follow the labels he has owned from 93 to present day from Ruffneck to Gangsta to Enzyme, absolute legend and his English is so amazing too.
Mescalinum United - We Have Arrived (Marc Acardipane mentioned at 13.45) came out before Human Resource - Dominator and some say that's the first hardcore track. Love Ruffneck. Clarkee used to play a lot of roughneck tune.
Finally someone brought gabber scene in an English language :) It was a great pleasure to hear and see Patrick in a free environment and thank to you Tom for this. Will go through all the other videos of your channel. I don't know why and how but I alway felt that Enzyme is Patrick's child. Maybe not only his but a lot of stuff from that label in that time I bought and listened I thought that Ruffneck put some influence into that. Kind of interesting would be to hear such guys as Neophyte which as well gone through all the scenes from earlier 90 to these days. And I know there is some interviews with Dj Dano (Daniel Leeflang) in Dutch so maybe he would be open to give in an english as well. He has so much stories and is a very nice person from my experience. Would be colossal to find some people who could tell the story about Peter Paul Pigman (3 Steps Ahead)... how he worked, how that special style he made in all his tracks born in his brain. I was looking for such information but could not find. The same about Martin Damm (The Speed Freak). He is like mentor for me together with Ruffneck, Omar Santana, Neophyte (Body Lotion) and Dj Dano. Great channel, great work and will follow to you to know more about hardcore/gbber scene insights.
First I'd heard of him (as I'm not a dj who knows labels) but when you talked about music he was involved in I knew it. Great honest humorous guy, excellent interview thank you 👊
What a brilliant interview dutch hardcore legend and so nice still hearing the 90.s styled hardcore being made big respect always keep it hardcore always 🙂👍
Seen him a few times at nosebleed Scotland. Wasn’t into gabba too much but liked ruffneck and Dutch stuff because it had more breakbeats. Interesting that he was into uk hardcore, can definitely hear it in his tunes.
Wow geddon Tom. Didn't expect to have this interview. I couldn't hit play quick enough mate. I had to tell me hardcore crew first and now I've settled down for this. Well done.
Great interview, seems like a really decent bloke. Incidentally, Artcore was a term used in the UK (coined by the journalist, Simon Reynolds) to describe the kind of tunes that Omni Trio was making. It did catch on, as there was the Artcore series of compilations on React.
That was an excellent insight and Patrick was an amazing and honest guest, probably a bit more introverted than expected but obviously made a huge name for himself through his music. Wasn't just Scotland that picked up on this sound, loved it in Stoke and of course @ Club Kinetic "Jiiieehaaaa" was a massive anthem late '95, courtesy of guys like DJ Brisk, Stu Allan and Mikey B. Would have stomped my ass of to it a number of times haha! True story, around 2006ish a guy I knew offered me 50 quid for it, such was its popularity. The only problem? I sadly never owned a copy to sell it, even if I would have at that hefty sum. For a bit of a pisstake it was a monster tune, funny how things work out. Great interview, many thanks Patrick; was a huge fan of the Ruffneck sound - Lockjaw and the Phoenix releases being among some of my favs :)
1:23:27 May be wrong here but can remember reading about Producer playing the tunnel of terror in Holland and the breakbeat heavy Deathchant style not going down so well.
What an interesting interview.. crazy to think the main exponent of the music from where its biggest, struggles to get a gig there!!! Would be good to follow this up with DJ Paul Elstaks view on things...
Thanks for this, really enjoyed this. I saw him dj ones with mc syco in Teejater in Naaldwijk in 97/98 and them 2 together were brilliant. There was so much energy and pretty sure a whistle!
Really enjoyed this. Mark eg or Scott Brown as guests :) I really like that you edit the tracks in that are being spoke about. Please continue to do that :)
You could try DJ Paul Elstak for an interview as there was some interesting stuff happning between him and Kniteforce at the time. There was a lot of borrowing of samples between Force Records and UK releases
Yeah basically Paul Elstak using the Sux Days vocal in his Going Crazy tune illegally meant Pete Tongs FFRR label decided not to sign Jimmy Js Six Days which was a huge loss to Jimmy and Luna C - I believe Elsrak did try to seek permission to use it but when it was rejected he decided to do it anyway but under an alias rather than his own name. Just typical stuff that goes on within the music industry worldwide sadly
Just a friendly reminder to use audio limiter, there are points in the video where voices are either too loud or too quiet. It's bit annoying when you use headphones and have to regulate volume every 5 minutes.
Legend interview with Patrick lovely guy. met him first time face to face at fubar 2019 at end of party he actually came over for the pic legend in the meeting with his Ruffneck Soldiers. Roll on many more parts to this interview??
Was an immense label but interesting point that he released his own stuff on Ruffneck as this was backed up by a UK artist who wanted to sign but was rejected. RIP Tecknoman! (Mp3.com before it went to crap)
Great to learn more about the Dutch scene cos boy I loved myself a good stomp to those labels back then. Mokum records too... My theory for British regions going more 4/4 as we travel northwards is possibly down to immigration. The southwest was also far from where the most diverse areas are so it was more techno than jungle for a long time too. In London there was obviously a lot more funk, soul, reggae, ragga sounds on the streets so more producers would have had more of a range of influences to inspire them maybe? Or am I being too simplistic?
Yep you on the right lines. I'm in the south west and up to about 97 the biggest events were all hardcore techno, /gabber. Even the happy hardcore sound was slow to catch on tbh.
@@damiencrowe6098 yep he was there from the house/acid house days. And even in the mid/late 90s when playing the banging speed core he was still playing vocal house/usa garage type thing. I got one tape where's playing full speed trying to mix in one of the house tracks at about a quarter the speed.
Lofty is a great shout. Like you said he was there from the beginning, played various genres to different crowds all over the place. Must have some great stories.
@@bigglitch5671 Love Traffik, him and Simon U are so underrated outside London. It was only really North in terms of “big” events who ever gave them a crack. I remember seeing Simon at steam in Rhyl and his mixing/turntablism was light years away from anything I’d seen in this country at the time, maybe Producer the only one close.
@@ROARUKPods Agree. I only say because it would seem that our scene was a special part of his life and a fundamental part of the NLs that to me... He would deserve it.
Ravers born after 2000 (in ldn) have a really hard time brucking the fuck out. Either people have become too self conscious or the music ain't allowing it. Shout out to the old skool northerners
I blame phototagging. How can you let your hair down when you'll end up on DontStayIn the following week? LOL Londoners are also very spoilt for choice (or were back then) so don't always realise they're listening to the world's best.
The term word hardcore ment hard it was dark it was aggressive it was mainly.underground some artists could crossover well with there styles but the real hardcore was underground
The Dutch guys didn’t rock the garage scene like in the uk… the new generation prefer that sound to hardcore which I guess contributes to why hardcore is not so big in the uk like it still is in Holland
Not true mate we know in the north of england we had many dutch djs play in the north events at Doncaster warehouse, uprising, dizstruxshon and club kinetic
@@brianmunich553 sorry man, I sort of class everything as far as the Black Country as honorary Scottish when talking of the old skool, yeah the north of England knew the fuckin score back in the day
@@ROARUKPods Typical journalism, not doing research. Tom clearly states he knows nothing about the Dutch scene, he knows fuck all about anything other than the Southern scene either.
Micky, while you may know everything there is to know about rave music and the rave scene, this podcast is about finding things out, and educating ourselves as well as the audience. We have never pretended to know everything. But pretty much all the comments, except yours, have praised the interview for covering a part of the scene most people know nothing about. And for you to criticise the amount of work and research that goes into this project is frankly insulting. But you don’t care, do you Micky, because you’re just being deliberately and unnecessarily provocative and rude. You do know nobody is forcing you to listen if you don’t like it? We can happily stop you watching them if that would help? Just let us know and it would be our pleasure to make your wish come true.
@@ROARUKPods I don't profess to know everything. I do know a lot about the scene that the presenter doesn't, because the didn't do any research. Is that my fault? Nope. The channel/host obviously can't handle genuine criticism. I'm being neither provocative or rude, just stating a fact that it's lazy journalism. If the host can't handle that, then he might want to think of a career change.
@@ROARUKPods I am very proud of where I'm from though. Couple of minute Google search, or actually watching the Rez trailer, it's called HOMECOMING after all, might have given away the fact that it's not a Scottish event. I liked the interview with Patrick, he's a nice bloke.
Tell ya man. Im 40 mins in without pausing dodging the site manager and work responsibilities.... This is absolute gold!
😂
@@ROARUKPods 2 minutes later the foreman caught up with me 😡😡😡😡. Just catching back up with it now. Gotta say mate, absolutely blistering interview

ruffneck was huge in scotland , big ups from the rezercetion fubar and nosebleed crew :)
Remember being in a Rezercetion reunion in Edinburgh think it was 2001 got into the club and there was a guy with his top off with a ruffneck tattoo the full of his back dedication 😂
That was fun 😊 love his enthusiasm, it's carried him through all these years.
The Scottish rave scene is something else!!

And the crowd is just constantly having it! So always have a lot of respect and love for the Scottish scene and people for making me feel welcome
When he said “You wanna know what…” made me wonder if he did the main vocal on I’m The F**k You Man?
Yeah he did!
He did a lot of his own vocals
1:24:57 , another juggernaut line " i am my own free man"
Ruffneck seems like such a nice guy. He was a legend in Scotland and mid 90's he was defo up here loads - maybe every week was an exaggeration but defo a couple of times a month on average with events like Fubar, Nosebleed, Rezerection, Fusion and the odd showing Happier places like Non-Stop and Metro events.
Try and get these Dutch artists on: Charly Lownoise & Mental Theo, Bass D & King Matthew, Dj Paul Elstak, Neophyte
Big YES YES to all those!!! 💪🏻
I had a huge Ruffneck Allience logo in my Nova SR back window 😂 I’m sure we called it Gabba!? Rezerection was the best days.
Now that was an awesome insight into a Dutch DJ/producer, loved the little storyof diss reaction and Scott brown. Crazy that Scotland was his favourite place..I always remember the tape packs with the foreign djs with there flags like Charly lownoise, ruffneck,Lenny Dee.

Wow. This is huge having Patrick on, Fair play.
no way, you the dude who made the track dark raver, on bedlam. i was playing it yesterday. wicked track mate :)

Great interview with a great artist
Respect ✊ ruffneck
Great to meet the artist behind the Diss-Reaction tune

I blame phototagging.
How can you let your hair down when you'll end up on DontStayIn the following week? LOL
Londoners are also very spoilt for choice (or were back then) so don't always realise they're listening to the world's best.
Dude, you should interview Scott Fucking Brown!

The term word hardcore ment hard it was dark it was aggressive it was mainly.underground some artists could crossover well with there styles but the real hardcore was underground
Erm defo lockjaw reactor who's with me
Exactly what Scott brown done with the pseudonyms.
Ron d core typing mistake
The Dutch guys didn’t rock the garage scene like in the uk… the new generation prefer that sound to hardcore which I guess contributes to why hardcore is not so big in the uk like it still is in Holland
Brits don’t know, Scots do.🏴
Not true mate we know in the north of england we had many dutch djs play in the north events at Doncaster warehouse, uprising, dizstruxshon and club kinetic
@@brianmunich553 sorry man, I sort of class everything as far as the Black Country as honorary Scottish when talking of the old skool, yeah the north of England knew the fuckin score back in the day
@@rightside nice one mate respect for that and technically i was born in scotland being born doncaster (google it you be suprised)
Rez isn't Scottish...... It started in Newcastle upon Tyne, and was originally held at the, now, long gone Mayfair.
Do your research.
You must be a right laugh at parties. 👍
@@ROARUKPods Typical journalism, not doing research.
Tom clearly states he knows nothing about the Dutch scene, he knows fuck all about anything other than the Southern scene either.
Micky, while you may know everything there is to know about rave music and the rave scene, this podcast is about finding things out, and educating ourselves as well as the audience. We have never pretended to know everything. But pretty much all the comments, except yours, have praised the interview for covering a part of the scene most people know nothing about. And for you to criticise the amount of work and research that goes into this project is frankly insulting. But you don’t care, do you Micky, because you’re just being deliberately and unnecessarily provocative and rude. You do know nobody is forcing you to listen if you don’t like it? We can happily stop you watching them if that would help? Just let us know and it would be our pleasure to make your wish come true.
@@ROARUKPods I don't profess to know everything. I do know a lot about the scene that the presenter doesn't, because the didn't do any research.
Is that my fault? Nope. The channel/host obviously can't handle genuine criticism. I'm being neither provocative or rude, just stating a fact that it's lazy journalism.
If the host can't handle that, then he might want to think of a career change.

I am very proud of where I'm from though.
Couple of minute Google search, or actually watching the Rez trailer, it's called HOMECOMING after all, might have given away the fact that it's not a Scottish event.
I liked the interview with Patrick, he's a nice bloke.
