codes lasers are well better, shame it's full of wankers tho

are you guys being serious???

the new lasers were amazing!!! they came on about 12am (i remember because they made my eyes go weird as i was coming up!) and stayed on through the rest of the night!..

during rank 1's set they were fantastic! i loved the new red/blue colours and some of new effects blew my head off!!!

To be honest I didnt actualy see any of the new lasers! But I have heard good things!

Originally posted by Volksjoolz spad, hardwicks warm up sets are legendary, yes (3rd NEC particualrly sticks in my head) but he definatly needs to be up with the big gun names now and he deserves the later slots for consistently delivering the goods! unlike some other fat kebab wielding Italian we all know and love dancing to! remember you havn't heard alot of matt's best stuff of late cause you you've been skint!!!

Lol please don't try and tell me I don't know what a Hardwick late set sounds like And I don't know why you're bringing Piu into it coz I'm the first to agree Hardwick is significantly better.

Yes i agree, he does deserve to be up with the big guns. My points are

a) His late sets are very anthemy and predictable
b) His warmups are better

plus c) He's GC's resident. I personally get very bored with seeing the same DJ's every time I go. In my opinion the place for residents is early, warming up for the guest DJ's who appear at peak times. If they're good enough (which I agree Hardwick is) they'll get to play elsewhere in later slots, but the place for a resident in clubs should be warming up for the guests. GC have got lazy by using their residents for peak time slots. When you're paying the sort of money GC charge, for the reputation GC have, you expect them to make an effort with the lineups. Sure a Harwick/Bond B2B is a nice treat, and in the example of the Birthday was very appropriate. But these things should be the exception rather than the rule IMO.

i have only ever heard hardiwck play a hard set once, and that was at promise's 2nd birthday, it it was fucking amazing, i think we should have one at crasher!

yeah ok good points my chesterfieldian compardree!

i would stil (knowing what i'm going to expect from hardwick) pay the same as any other big name DJ now. I wouldn't before for a resident BUT as matt has proved time and time again that he can deliver, surely he should be given the best times at his resident club?!

ok so gc shouldn't over compensate for his talent by placing him last EVERY month because it would be stupid (and monotomous) but i think matt has excelled in his credentials to be able to play a late set every now and again!

I think he is beyond playing warm up sets these days and maybe (as you say)his tunes may be predictable in places, but alot of the time thats what the people in crasher actually want to hear!

just my opinon though!

Not all the time IMO, every now and then yes but his place is warming up.

I don't think warmup sets are "beyond" anybody. It's just a different style and one that Hardwick is amazing at! There are a huge number of DJ's out there playing at House/Prog clubs at peak time who play the same style. Just that in crasher, it's used to warm up for Trance. Ashley Casselle for instance. When he plays crasher he warms up because that's the kind of music used for a warmup in crasher, but at another club he might have the last slot of the night.

Unfortunatly you're right about what the crasher crowd want. But didn't Gatecrasher make it's name by being original and distinctive? The last few months what has crasher really done that other clubs havn't? Did you see the lineup for Gods last Friday? I'd kill to have a lineup like that at crasher. The main thing crasher has going for it is the crowd, take them away and you've got just another Trance club. Crasher needs to get its arse back in gear and start booking some more original DJ's.

Last weekend was a very good example, Solarstone, Kai Tracid, Rank 1. With Harwick warming up Whether they were liked or not, at least it was something different and interesting. Now do us a favour crasher, don't book any of the DJ's that appeared last night again for a good couple of months and do something original. Oh dear, just seen the Boxing Day / NYE lineups

yes i thought the other night was great,m and made a refreshing change, also armin playing different to his usual style was better!

but now crasher have that friday weekly crasher on for up and coming talent, it will kinda be there "testing gorund" for new and different DJs to use for the monethlies.

hopefully petre foy will be chosen

Piu was on when i first got there. it was my first time so i didnt know what to expect. when i heard him playing i thought that it were gona be a shit nite. but when he fucked off the whole nite just got so much better!! Tracid's first song was the Beach Boys one and it was awesome. what is that track called? infact, has anybody got a tracklisting for his whole set - it owned!!

Oh yea i cant get over how good tracid was he totally blew me away.
What did u think to it then richy?? Was it as good as u expected & will u go again?

The Beach Boys - I Get Around (need the remix!!!!!!!!!!!1)

Kai Tracid - Trance and Acid (Derb Remix) ("hearing the music is just like seeing the colours of trance and feeling the power of acid!")

hmmm i do like it, but i heard tunes i like a lot lot more, and didn't go as crazy as that
also, when dumonde played trauma, it wasn't the dub, and it wasn't the vocal mix...more like half and half, weird

I think i only met one new person off here and that was Ste, nice to meet you mate, lol at when you shouted "IM DUMONDE TRANCER!!!" wish i had more time to talk to you, and wish i met some of the other guys!

and then there was weezhard who i met again, nice to see you there again mate cos you were the only one i saw at the NEC

i was feeling quite shit though throughout the night, i'd been ill since thursday with flu or something, but i wasn't gonna let that ruin my night.

I was cheered up though about 3am when i met one of the guys from Solarstone outside the chillout room, cos for some reason it was curtained off, and he came outside and i said alright mate! whats going off in there? he said oh its the VIP room for tonight, i was like... ooh right :S. so i said nice set earlier anyway!! he said thanks mate, im just fucking off back to the hotel now cos im fucked or something, and then he said here take my pass, you look as though you could do with a rest... so im like he was stood there for about 10 minutes trying to get it off his arm without damaging it, but he did it. sorted
