Pulser + Gareth Emery (GTR) - 13th September in Perth!!!!
Hi folks!
Just letting you know this gig has now been confirmed!! Venue details to be announced shortly..
I've attached a profile of each of the guys..
PULSER
Andy Perring aka Pulser is one of the UK’s leading trance producers, receiving heavy support by the worlds largest DJ’s and being the remixer of choice by many key A&R men.
In late 2002 GODSKITCHEN set up “FUTURE GODS” an event to showcase the DJ’s they believed to have the potential to be the next “Armin Van Buuren” or Tiesto.” Pulser was the natural choice for the night with a proven track record as a producer and a wealth of experience behind the decks outside of the UK. The event proved a huge success, with Pulser impressing and subsequently being offered regular commitments at the club and the honour of playing alongside Fergie on their New Years Eve event at Code.
Increasingly Pulser is becoming established as one of the most in-demand merging trance DJ’s in the UK. Being one of a select few DJ’s to headline at the UK’s premier club “GODSKITCHEN,” in addition to holding regular commitments for GODSKITCHEN, SLINKY, GOLDEN, ESCAPE and PEACH.
Pulser’s first major release was in 1999 when ‘SPIRTUALISED’ by THE OLMEC HEADS was released on Neo Records. The track was a huge hit with all the major-league DJ’s. Alex Gold of ‘Extravaganza Records’ described Spiritualised as ‘The Biggest’ tune heard at Privilege in Ibiza throughout ‘99’. The Olmec Heads, followed up with a string of top remixes for artists such as MOBY, APOLLO 440 and THE SPACE BROTHERS before releasing their follow-up, a menacing trance tune called ‘Magicman’.
During this period Andy branched out and created the alias ‘PULSER’. The first track under his new guise was ‘CLOUDWALKING’, released on fledgling UK label ATCR. Cloudwalking again smashed it and established Pulser as a major new name in Trance. Pulser’s second outing ‘LIGHTWAVE’ was on Andy’s own label ‘ACTIVATION MUSIC’ and achieved fantastic exposure for the new imprint, making several major dance compilations around the world.
Pulser’s latest production “MY RELIGION” is arguably his best to date signed to “GK Recordings” in the UK and “ARMADA” Armin Van Buuren’s new label in Europe. The track will be the theme for one of the UK’s most prestigious festivals “GLOBAL GATHERING.”
Throughout this year Pulser has built a solid platform for himself in the process taking the steps toward establishing himself amongst clublands elite and living up to his billing of “The next Armin Van Buuren/Tiesto.”
GARETH EMERY aka GTR
“Boring DJ’s beware Gareth Emery is about to kick your ass” Mixmag November 2002”
Only a select few dance music artists make the jump from complete obscurity to international recognition in under a year, but that's exactly what 22 year old Southampton based DJ/producer Gareth Emery aka GTR achieved in 2002. A classically trained musician and ex-indie-rocker, Gaz initially caught the attention of the dance music scene when his first record, a cheeky white label bootleg of The Shrink's infamous classic 'Nervous Breakdown' started to inflict serious mayhem on unsuspecting dancefloors everywhere, being hammered by Eddie Halliwell, Guy Ornadel, Scot Project and Dave Pearce. With just 100 copies in existence, it wasn't long before it became highly sought after, especially after being broadcast on BBC Radio 1 live from the Mardi Gras festival on Judge Jules' Saturday night show, which led to it being signed to Dutch label Nutrition. Hitting stores later in the year, it proved as much of a hit in the shops as it did on the dancefloor and went on to feature on the Godskitchen Direct compilation album: quite a debut.
Following this, Gaz turned his attention back to his traditional home of trance with another prototype release: a double a-side comprised of the tracks 'Psiclone' and 'Flood Control' on his own label Influential. Picking up considerable support from all the major trance spinners including Armin and Ferry Corsten, these two uniquely individual tracks put him on the music production map, but were never officially released due to distribution issues and remain in high demand to this day.
However, Gaz's most explosive track by far came in the shape of 'Mistral'. Made entirely on a laptop computer over the course of a two week holiday in Provence, its funky groove and instantly recognisable riff immediately caught the attention of Paul van Dyk, the first DJ to have the track on CDR. Following Van Dyk hammering it solidly across the globe for two months, it was snapped up by London's Five AM records where it went on to become one of the biggest underground club anthems of 2002/3, supported by some of the world's leading DJs including Armin, Ferry Corsten, and the newly crowned no.1 DJ in the world, Tiesto. Receiving fantastic reviews in the music press, it later went on to be voted 26th biggest record of the year in a poll conducted by Armin van Buuren on his A State of Trance radio show. At the time of writing it's not only still wrecking havoc on dancefloors a massive four months after release, but has also recently been included on a number of high profile compilation albums including Tiesto's 'Nyana' and Ferry Corsten's 'Washington World Tour'.
So far in 2003, Gaz has continued to produce on the ever-expanding Five AM label as GTR, Gareth Emery, and Cupa, and has also remixed for major labels Multiply and Lost Languge. After making his debut at the UK's number one club, Godskitchen, a hectic summer awaits with international DJ dates ranging from Scandinavia to North America.
Local Support: Choice, Dirty Den, Big A and one more TBA!
