Crasher Rules 17.02.07

hasn't picotto gone all minimal? i seen a couple of mixes by him described as electro/minimal, it broke my heart
As for katana he's shite, cudnt mix a salad that lad.

Mauro will be playing a past, present and future set at Crasher Rules! So listen out for old favs such as lizard, Iguana etc !

nice one some one was telling me about this last week they said it was on in march tho. i would have went in march but im away when this on. nevermind

The set times are going to make or break this night imo.

Ideally:

Katana and everyone: warm up.
Picotto: 12-2
Scott Bond: 2-4
Matt Hardiwck: 4-6

would b gud!

It'll never happen, katana and woods will have an hour or so each, but we can dream

and just to make things worse, their hour each will be towards the end of the night to keep all the hardstyle fans happy.

i'm not doubting he's still quality, i just mean he's not as big of a name as he was. like you don't look at the line-up and say "picottos on, i've got to go and see him" like at the time he was a massive trance jock. i think woods is a decent dj, he was banging at the TW10 like, and his sets are well built and progressive. theres no doubting he's a better producer than dj, but its good having him on the line-up as it adds a difference, it will add more energy to the dancefloor. if he drops cherry blossom, then you'll all love him at the time.

Don't count on it

proper extasy moment! as in quad drop and hope you dont remember it in the morning

Saving money by reusing old CD covers as flyers

Well its a nice design so why not??

“I can’t wait to return to the club, where it all started for me in the UK. It’s an honour and a privilege to be back!” Mauro Picotto


The feel around the place is just like it was like back in 99, Gatecrasher being back is a real shot in the arm for the scene generally and the stage is now set for an astounding 2007!! Matt Hardwick




WE’RE BACK…. Crasher is back with a series of wild and exciting monthly parties in Sheffield following on from the legendry sell out White party event on Boxing Day.

Crasher Rules with Italian mega star Mauro Picotto, The original Crasher Residents Scott Bond & Matt Hardwick are back for the first time in over 3 yrs, Man of the Moment Marcel Woods, Dutch trancer Randy Katana and Simon “Dogzilla” Patterson

Get ready to indulge in a dj set full of past, present and future Crasher sounds from Italian mega star Mauro Picotto. Mauro knows a thing or two about dance culture, he is producer, dj and promoter all wrapped up in one and he has been very successful at it as well. 1988 saw Picotto make his bid of UK stardom, with the release of the inescapable Gatecrasher anthem “Lizard” - a record, for many summed up the hegemony of the emerging trance sound. Tens of thousands of people from all nationalities have experienced Picotto’s Meganite events thanks to the residencies being held including at the infamous Privallage in Ibiza

This man doesn’t need an introduction and after a storming set on Boxing Day we felt it’s only right to get him back for the first Crasher of 2007 – Matt Hardwick returns as a bi-monthly resident for Crasher and its set to be a great year for him once again.

Say Scott Bond to anyone in the dance music industry and they will think of Gatecrasher! Scott is coming home to the loyal Crasher massive for the first time in over 3 years! The signature Crasher sound was born in ‘93 when Scott became a resident of what became the biggest trance brand in the world “Gatecrasher”. Over the years Gatecrasher has taken the sound to China to Australia and all over the world and launched ground breaking events such as Lotherton Hall, Leeds and the sell out Millennium event at Don Valley Stadium. It’s a set not to missed with both original residents back on the bill!

Providing support for the evening is man of the moment Marcel Woods, this Dutch tech trancer has appeared at every major European dance festival and club on the planet and is on fire. Another dutch dj / producer joining the bill is Randy Katana, his track Randy Katana-In Silence” was announced “best track of the year 2004” by www.tranceaddict.com and returning to the home of Crasher after a sell out August event is Simon “Dogzilla” Patterson.

Picotto Interview

What was your best gig of last year and why?

The 2006 was my best dj year, the closing of Meganite Ibiza was the highlight of the year, I played untill 11am with the crowd still going crazy.

How are you finding Ibiza, has it changed much since you started your residency?

I heard people saying that Ibiza was going down, I can say for me it gets better and better each year.

How would you describe your music style?

Always changing but at the moment I’d say Electronic Acid House with a BPM range around 130.

What's the craziest moment you've ever experienced as a DJ during your set?

Can’t remember when or where, but somewhere in England. A guy fell from a balcony and landed on my back while I was djing. I was also headlining an event in Caracas; the party was in full swing. Some guy walked into the middle of the dance floor and shot another guy in the head. That was a bit crazy.

Which CD did not leave your CD wallet last year?

I always have a CD with my most popular productions. They never fail me.

Name one of your personal all time classic tunes?

Too many to mention one, but Baguette, Iguana, Lizard etc.

Name your biggest influence?

Tangerine Dream and Kraftwerk

Where's the most bizarre place you've ever DJ'd?

In a clearing in the rain forest, outside Medellin Colombia. The promoters (who will no doubt go to ecological hell) made a clearing for about 5000 people. The backdrop was a cliff face with a waterfall cascading down it. There was multi-coloured giant parrots and monkeys swinging from the trees. A very enjoyable but surreal experience.

How many tracks do you buy and receive per month?

It’s all about MP3’s now; I get around 150 a month.

How will dance scene evolve over the next years according to you?

More sex, more electronic music and more fun!
Picotto Interview

Scott Bond Interview:

1) Its been over 3 yrs since you departed Gatecrasher, will it be an emotional return when you step up to the decks?
I’m really looking forward to playing Gatecrasher again in a few weeks time, its shaping up to be a wicked return! The Amount of emails I have received about this is unbelievable; lots of the Old regulars are making an appearance J

2) Can you tell us what Scott Bond has been doing since your departure?
I’ve continued DJing my beloved Trance sound across the globe.

After I left, I was involved in the Ahead project for a while putting together an award winning album and a few club nights before joining forces with London legends WiLDCHiLD.

We’re currently putting together a new Album, a brand new Trance record label project “WiLDCHiLDbeats, and obviously our London Shows

In Addition to this I have now signed with UWM in the Americas to be my exclusive management.

Im also just putting the finishing trouches to new scott bond vs solarstone track . will definately be playing it in sheffield on the 17th

3) A lot of djs are playing the increasingly popular "Tech Trance" what can we expect from you on the 17th Feb?
My sound has never heavily leant towards to the “Tech Trance” side of the genre.

There are some really strong producers in that field that im currently supporting, such as Marcel Woods, Sander Van Doorn + more.

Expect my trademark pumping Trance sound along with some old Gems!

4) The 3rd Feb you will be playing Classics at Media by Gatecrasher, which 3 tracks would you consider the biggest Gatecrasher Classics?

1 – Apex – Virtuoso
2 –Out Of the Blue – Out Of the Blue
3 –Adagio – all versions

5) You must have so many good memories and experiences which have built up over the year, what have been your highlights?
The award-winning albums, the NEC shows and the Summer Sound Systems were some of the best highlights to be involved with but I suppose the millennium took some beating.

The club itself back in the republic days was wicked to look forward to every week

6) What would Scott Bond be doing today if you hadn't become a DJ / Club Promoter?
Probably be joint king of the playboy empire alongside my old pal Hugh Heffner


7) Which djs are going to be hot for 2007?
Marcel Woods
Alex MORPH
Reece Elliot

8) Have you got any tips for up and coming djs which want to be the next Scott Bond?
Word hard, try your hand at producing, get some promotions off the ground so you can play alongside your favorite Trance DJs

9) What has been the biggest change within the industry for you? Music? The People? Technology such as CDJ's / MP3's / EFX units? and has it helped or hindered the scene?
The explosion of the internet has probably been the biggest development in Dance Music – from promoting events to downloading tracks, everything nowadays seems to be geared towards an online world. For me personally it’s been the shift to CD I play all my sets now 100 % CD.
