Gatecrasher Classics

COMPETITION NOW CLOSED

On July 11th Sheffield superclub Gatecrasher celebrates ten years of clubbing supremacy, with the release of 'Gatecrasher Classics', a three CD soundtrack to the party that began life in an innocuous Midlands pub, and went on to become a global institution.

CD 1 mixes the likes of Solar Stone's balearic trancer 'Seven Cities' and Jan Johnston's yearning vocal on Freefall's 'Skydive', with the spine-tingling energy of Binary Finary's '1998', while CD 2 unleashes, what for many would be the ultimate Crasher anthems, 'For An Angel' by Paul Van Dyk and Delerium's lachrymose masterpiece 'Silence.' The third and final CD combines seminal trance classics, such as the laser-etched Perfecto mix of Mansun's 'Wide Open Space', Jam & Spoon's 'Stella' and the euphoria-laden 'You're Not Alone' by Olive, with more recent favourites from the likes of Fat Boy Slim, Rui da Silva and Basement Jaxx.

So where did it all begin? After starting life in 1993 as a night at The Engine House pub in Tardebigge, Gatecrasher made the move up north, to take up residency in their spiritual home, Sheffield's Republic. Within a couple of years Gatecrasher had not only become one of the biggest clubs on the planet, it had also spawned an inescapable clubland movement - the fluro-clad phenomenon that was the 'Crasher Kids.' Love 'em or hate 'em, there were few clubs that could match the zealous week in, week out devotion shown by Gatecrasher's furry-booted, fridge-magnet adorned devotees.
