Gimme a bunch of mates, who want to share their passion for original Reggae & Soul at the best club on this planet, Sedel – The Club in our home town Luzern. Rude Attack was born! After some do’s, we went into promoting gigs & released a handful of records as well. Our aim was to present contemporary bands, which keep the 60’s Ska/Reggae/Soul flag flying.
After some years unfortunately, our original core member Andy left the crew. It was quite a loss, so the remaining members Witschi and Jefy aka Brick Top The Tiger decided to stop as gig promoter. So, we went back to put on Reggae & Soul do’s with the intention to invite one (international) guest DJ each and every do. Over the years and with our countless trips to the UK, the wish to build an own Sound System grew more and more. Finally, in 2014 we managed to realise our dream together with Rouven, another long-term Reggae aficionado. Now, it’s 2025 and the Rude Attack train keeps on rolling, already for 25 years!
Brick Top Top 5
Well, it’s really difficult to name a top 5 spin list, as it depends on the mood, the crowd (of course!) & the session what will land on the turntable. I’m spinning all different kind of Reggae genres, from Ska to Rock Steady, Boss Reggae, Roots & Dub.
- Don Drummond – China Town
- Jackie Mittoo & Soul Vendors – Tropic Island
- Sensations – Darling Forgive Me
- Errol Dunkley – Keep The Pressure Down
- King Tubby – King At The Control
Witschi and his Top 5
As we bring our Soundsystem to the Cellar at the Soul Weeekender, I’m gonna play Rhythm & Blues which played a big part when the first Soundsystems appeared in Jamaica and in developing the Jamaican music we all love.
- Clue J and his Blues Blasters – Hard Blues Woman
- Higgs & Wilson – Sha Ba Da
- Percy Mayfield – Cookin’ in Style
- Junior Parker – I Feel Alright Again
- Etta James – Pick Up
