Charlie Lownoise & Mental Theo

Dutch (Happy) Hardcore-duo.

In Utrecht at a 'Mallorca-reunion' they met each other. Ramon (Charly) & Theo (Mental) had both spon the turntables one or more seasons on the Spanish island of Mallorca. Ramon, who saw his second release (R.J.'s Rule - Rave This Nation) turn into worldwide succes at the end of 1991 and at that moment very succesfull went with 'Speedcity', just started his own record company, Master Maximum Records. Theo, thereafter, played on many big events such as 'Eurorave' and 'Dance To Eden'. From that moment they started working together.
After a while Theo was offered a job as an A&R Manager at a semi-big independent where he started working part-time. After this things went fast for both DJs. They created the succesfull 'Thunderdome' CDs and started they're own "Speedcity Tour" which was in no time Holland's hottest hardcore act. The first eight releases on Master Maximum such as 'Blast EP', 'DJ Fuck', 'The Ultimate Sextrack', 'Tiroler Kaboemsch' and 'Riot In New York' made big succes in the world's underground hardcore scene and the MM 1009 was the crown. 'Live At London' went into the Dutch national charts and their videoclip was played several times on VIVA in Germany and Countdown in Holland. With their single 'Wonderfull Days' they signed a labeldeal with Polygram in 1995 and all promotion is in hands of this major company in exception of vinyl which is still handeld by theirselvelves and distributed by Midtown in Rotterdam.

They sold more then 3.000.000 of their CDs and singles
