In Utrecht at a 'Mallorca-reunion' they met each other. Ramon Roelofs (Charly Lownoise) & Theo Nabuurs (Mental Theo) had both spun the turntables one or more seasons on the Spanish island of Mallorca. Ramon, who saw his second release (as R.J.'s Rule with Rave This Nation) turn into worldwide success at the end of 1991 and at that moment very successfully 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 successfull 'Thunderdome' CDs and started their 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' were a big success 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 video was played several times on VIVA in Germany and Countdown in Holland. With their single 'Wonderful Days' they signed a label deal with Polygram in 1995 and all promotion was handled by this major company with the exception of vinyl which they still handled by themselves and which was distributed by Midtown in Rotterdam.
Nowadays Ramon is member of the "Bitte Ein Beat"-crew and Theo has his own TV-show on "MTV" (Netherlands): "Mental Theo On The Road".
For the first time in 10 years, Charly Lownoise & Mental Theo played a gig in the United Kingdom. It was titled 'Back to the future old skool '07'. The event took place on April 28th 2007.
On August 1, 2009 they played together at the Nature One's Classic Terminal in Germany.
There is the slight possibility that Charly Lownoise & Mental Theo might make a comeback back together.

Come show me your hardcore feelings with your raving meanings
'Cause I don't know the way to groove.
I've never learned to dance this fast and I don't know how to move.
When the beats kicking hard and the beats kicking low
Okay I think it is unique.
Come show me your hardcore feelings with your raving meanings
From the bottom of your soul.

When the beats kicking hard and the beats kicking low
Would you give me one more chance.

The song "Hardcore Feelings" by Charly Lownoise and Mental Theo is a classic example of the happy/sunny hardcore genre that emerged in the Netherlands in the early 1990s. The lyrics describe the excitement of being at a rave and feeling the energy of the music, but also the nervousness of not quite knowing how to dance to the fast-paced rhythms. The singer is asking someone to show him/her how to move with "hardcore feelings" and "raving meanings" so he/she can experience the full joy of the scene.
The lyrics reveal a sense of community at raves and the importance of shared experiences. The line "I feel I'm gonna lose control" suggests a loss of self, a surrender to the music and the collective energy of the crowd. The use of the phrase "cheek to cheek" also speaks to the closeness and intimacy that can be found at raves, despite the frenetic pace of the music and movement.
Overall, the lyrics of "Hardcore Feelings" express the transformative power of music and the desire for human connection in a fast-paced and chaotic world.
