"Three Hazelnuts on the Dance Floor": The Cinderella Techno Revolution

DJ Felix Harrer and his associate Jaques Raupé have turned heads recently with their techno-infused rendition of the classic "Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella" flute melody from the beloved Christmas movie.

For Harrer, this track is the crowning achievement of his musical career so far. In no time flat, it's been grabbing top spots on the German charts, be it iTunes or the singles list. By December 22nd, it had amassed an impressive near-six-million plays on Spotify. Harrer himself is now making scheduled appearances on shows like Sat.1 breakfast television, now identified as a TikTok sensation.

"Three Hazelnuts": Nostalgia Meets the Future

Harrer chatted with Bild and shared that the enchanting fairy tale movie is a regular holiday must-see at home. "It's got that nostalgia-filled charm that always goes down well," he confesses. This early magic is the very essence of his hit track. The distinctive melody of the classic woodland scene takes center stage, waltzing effortlessly with the pulsing rhythm of techno beats.

Harrer shared how the unconventional musical blend came to be with MDR: his habit of scouring old music for remixing potential led him to conceive the Cinderella reboot. However, it was actually Jaques Raupé who had already mixed it in 2011, making his own rendition. The two DJs connected via their label and jointly released the new version.

More Than a Remix

The breakthrough came in the form of a viral TikTok video Harrer created, which spread like wildfire in a single day: by the following morning, some two million people had already seen and heard it. Amid all the accolades, Harrer himself admits he hadn't anticipated this level of triumph.

Interestingly, the original melody of the song was penned by the late Czech composer Karel Svoboda (1938-2007). He was a prodigy when it came to crafting melodies fitted for fairy tales and children's films, contributing to tantalizing tunes for "Maya the Bee," "Pinocchio," and "Wickie and the Strong Men."
