Gatecrasher Classics @ The Works Kingston on Boxing Day

Well the unthinkable happened, and a decent (although some of you may not agree lol) trance night was held in Kingston at The Works club, which is primarily a commercial type club.

Fiona and i had always wondered what it would be like to have a trance night in Kingston as it would be so convinient and the club is huuuuuge and can hold lots of people. Well i found out last night.

The Works has always had a very good lighting system and good soundsystem and floor layout, and it was put to effective use.

The lineup was Stevie G, Riley and Durrant and Solarstone.

Being a classics night i was looking forward to hearing some proper anthems...gouryella, out of the blue, ayla, carte blanche etc etc, but actually didn't get any of the tunes you'd expect really! But thats not to say i did not enjoy it, i had a fucking awesome time.

This club usually has a less than friendly crowd since it is a commercial club, but this was not the case. Everyone was there to have a good time and enjoy the music.

The best thing about the night was seeing the mates i'd brought along to the night, who do not usually go trance clubbing (and were not known for liking this sort of music) really REALLY enjoy themselves. Even at the tunes which aren't that well known, watching them grin and bounce around was what made the night for me.

Tunes i remember were:

Ruff Driverz feat Arrola - Dreaming
new Riiley and Durrant tune with the vocals from Mirage of Hope
Holden and Thompson - Nothing (93 Returning Mix)
Mekka - Diamondback
Liquid Child - Diving Faces
VDM - Flowtation
Oceanlab - Sky Falls Down
Oakey - Southern Sun (Tiesto mix)
motorcycle - ATRC (G&D and A&B mixes)
Tiesto - Urban Train
Solarstone - Solarcoaster
Solarstone + Scott Bond - 3rd Earth (twice lol)
Scott Bond - Naked Angel (twice!!! wtff)
Young Parisians - Jump the Next Train (Solarstone remix)
Solarstone - 7 Cities (v-one remix)
Junk Project - Composure (Moogwai remix)
Binary Finary - 1998 (Matt Darey mix)
Cygnus X - Superstring
Nalin and Kane - Beachball (tall paul mix?)
Lustral - Everytime (Nalin and kane remix)
Push - Strange World (2000 Remake)

i'm sure kr00t will remember some others

Turnout was ok, considering that it was competeing with Wildchild for punters, and they were more central based, whereas this was out in the south west of london.

the club was massive though and had two floors so you can't really see the extent of the crowd

besides...more room to dance
