check the samples here for a pretty accurate idea of the music they both mostly play. hardwick combines it with softer/slightly proggy stuff, askew sometimes leans more towards techno. askew is better

Hardwick is a Gatecrasher legend. He was playing a lot of Discover material last year but expect more of his euphoric and energetic style when you see him. He can also play great warm up/proggy sets. I would also say he was in fact better than Askew maybe not technically but his tune selection is second maybe only to Jon O'Bir right now.

Askew is quite hit and miss. Always plays with a lot of energy and does lean towards the techier side of trance. But when his sets have more of a melodic base like in his Essential Mix then he can be amazing live. Also has a very unique choppy mixing style at least for mixing trance. He could also play a near enough totally Discover led set which for me would be quite boring.

Having both on at a night would be class though. Have a good one

Matt Hardwick used to be an outstanding DJ. He still is really, it's just he plays really really shit music these days.

Echoing what was above, Hardwick was a fucking AWESOME DJ. dunno if he still is, id say go for it and hope for the best.

hrm. i've always seen him as below average.. with unsatisfying set direction & relatively loose mixing.. to each their own as they say though. i've always found askew far more solid & consistent behind the decks

He's not wrong though. Circa 2003/2004, Matt was playing awesome music. Then he slowly drifted into the Discover party and playing the same tunes as everyone else, where as previously that's what separated him from all the other jocks.

askew is the bees knees, rips the shit out of any other dj on this planet and is a top fella too, go to it for askew, hardwick too, but askew will destroy any club, fact, you will not be dissapointed.i dont know a dj who will play a better set, his mixing is pure quality, v v v talented, knows how to work a crowd. all this discover is dull shit is bollocks, get in there, you will love it and if you dont i will be v surprised.

No mate, I didn't start clubbing in 2003 so I actually know what I'm talking about here. I've seen Matt Hardwick well over 50+ times so in turn I am well entitled to give my opinion here. So jog on.
