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.

Wonderful days is not their own track. This is Tony Ronald singing in kzbin.info/www/bejne/qH-bXqmVrc-Ko7M

[@mabusestestament]

@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

[@pd14e]

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❤️

[@connectedeurope]

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.

[@Rope257]

Been at Defqon 6-7 times. Best ones were at Almere Strand for me. Small scale, almost always sunny, great vibes.

[@itsmemiranda954]

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.. 😂😂💜🍀

[@acrofanatic]

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.

[@gbraadnl]

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

[@20kilovolt]

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.

[@mizzya]

I really miss all the festivals. Thank you for bringing the energy back :D we need to move as one again on the dancefloor!

[@erikdaniels4860]

[@Xardom]

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.

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".
