So let me tell you something about last Saturday. 30 years of Ruffneck in Belgium. Well, what you didn't know is that I was extremely sick...I am not going to lie, it was to the point of altogether canceling the entire party. It was no joke as I had been fighting all week already feeling terrible inside (No covid, but in my case, as I had covid twice, for me this was much worse )
Up to the point I could not even get out of bed at all and slept over 30 hours straight at some point. However, I should have canceled if I am really honest, but in the end, I didn't. The Bassline Agency and Hardcore Universe had close contact up until the last moment and they even came up with an alternate timetable in case I decided to let the party continue to take some of the strain away. In that scenario, I would have spun 30 minutes max for about 3 times. I am very grateful for their understanding and willingness to see how serious the situation was. However, I bombarded myself with medication and vitamins etc so I could still attend and see how it would go.
I ended up still spinning the entire night like the original plan was, and honestly, it was because of the people who attended and who gave so much energy I could hold on until about 15 minutes before closing time.
I sneaked out and Outside I collapsed and from there it went downhill really, really fast. Long story short, during my performance not even halfway in, I started coughing blood from my lungs, but I tried to keep this outside of the view and knowledge of everyone, which is why I sometimes "hid" under the DJ booth to get rid of the stuff... A special thank you to Gangsta Alliance, who has brought me safe to the hotel and later on home. Without him, this entire event would have not been possible!
Anyway, I have been to my doctor and the hospital who took pictures of my lungs and luckily it will take some time to recover, but nothing long time damaging could be found. Some lung stuff and veins have popped which caused the blood.
So, with this being said, I also have to say thank you to all those people who gave me the strength without even knowing what was going on inside me as I was trying to give everyone a good time, as YOU were simply AMAZING. I did not have a professional video crew and I only took several quick videos with my phone under the worst circumstances imaginable as the camera is well...yeah...that.
However, I decided to simply upload ALL the footage I took UNCUT, RAW, and as honest as you can get it from a party without trying to make it look better than it actually was, so the video is quite long, but If you want to re-live of see what you are missing when attending a Ruffneck Soldiers gathering...well...here is a good insight 🙂
Thank you, my dear soldiers, you always were, and always will be the BEST "army" any artist could wish for.
One love,
Patrick
PS, the video is quite long, but this is how we partied all night for over 7 hours, so sit back, relax and relive ❤
