Gatecrasher catch up with Matt Hardwick ahead pf his set at Gatecrasher Red & Black this Saturday, Carling Academy, Sheffield: GC: Hi Matt. How are you? MH: Yes, good thanks. GC: What have you been up to recently? MH: The usual really, loads of travelling on the DJing front. I have just come back from the states and have dates in Korea, Prague and Moscow in the next couple of weeks. I actually had laser eye surgery for the second time a couple of weeks ago, so I had a weekend off which felt weird. I was one of the first people in the UK to have the procedure done about 12 years ago and my eyesight has deteriorated slightly over the past couple of years so I decided to have a re-tune. I am glad to report that all seems fine. GC: You are launching your own record label, Kill the lights on Monday 27th October. Can you tell us a bit about this? MH: Its something that I have been meaning to do for some time. The label will basically be an avenue for me to release my own material and for me to bring through some of the many up and coming young artists that the scene has to offer. Although the focus will be on the music I am known for, there will be a push to try out new styles to keep things interesting. Its great having the freedom to put out my own material and to be able to sign other artists who catch my eye. Also, I think the days of a DJ staying at the top of the game on DJing ability alone are now over. You need to add another string to your bow. Production is key and things like a label and compilations CDs are all integral to maintaining profile. GC: The first single to be released on Kill the Lights is ‘Supernal’ by yourself and has already had airplay on ASOT by Armin Van Buuren. Can you talk us through the process of creating a track? MH: I tend to get two or three tracks that I really like and work initially on emulating the sound that they capture. This normally establishes the percussive side and tempo. From there I will look to build in the chords and from there a top line. Supernal was actually an instrumental up until about 2 months ago. I sent this over to Melinda and she wrote the vocal and recoded some guide vocals for me to consider. I felt that it was a hit from the first time I heard it, so it was simply a case of recording the vocal and mixing it....and there we had it. GC: You have been Djing for quite some time now and last year saw you come in at Number 48 in the DJ mag top 100 DJs, 16 places up from the previous year. With the results for 2008 to be announced shortly, how important are these polls to you? MH: They mean nothing to me really. However, the international promoters tend to use them as a barometer when deciding which DJs to book. This being said, I am not sure if they really have any impact on my career one way or the other. I suppose it is more important for the guys breaking through than it is for established DJs. Its a shame that it has become a bit of a popularity contest. GC: Can you tell us who have been your major influences musically? MH: I think that the likes of Paul Oakenfold have really influenced me in terms of the type of music I play. In terms of my DJ ethos, I have taken a lot from the way Sasha approaches the industry generally and have followed his career from the early 1990s. GC: You have been associated with Gatecrasher for many years now, what are your thoughts on Gatecrasher being back in Sheffield after Gatecrasher One sadly burnt down last year? MH: Its great to be back in my home town but like everyone I was so sad to hear about the club burning down last year. Hopefully this will be the start of something new. Another plus is that I can go and see my mum and get her to do my washing for me. GC: You headlined the last of Gatecrasher’s legendary Red & Black parties. What can the Gatecrasher crowd expect from you at this event? MH: I always have a great time playing these events. I will knock out a few classics that I am sure will bring a smile to more than a few faces. I lived and breathed Gatecrasher for so many years and I think that is appreciated by the loyal followers. Its difficult for me to hide what the tunes mean to me. I remember playing Sasha Expander at one of the events about three years ago. The place erupted and the hairs on the back of my neck stood on end and I thought that I was going to cry (thankfully I didn’t!). I will always go that extra yard when it comes to Gatecrasher.

Says Mr Van Buuren

“What Can the Gatecrasher crowd expect from you?” “Expect a lot of new and bangin’ stuff for Riel” Tipped by Tiesto as “the hottest producer around” and by DJ magazine as “the next big thing to hit trance”, Gatecrasher catch up Sied Van Riel, ahead of his set at the Gatecrasher 15th Birthday event, at their spiritual home in Sheffield. GC: Being tipped by DJ magazine as “the next big thing to hit trance”. Who are your inspirations? SVR: Well i think it is more WHAT is my inspiration. I try not to get influenced by other music to much as that kind of prevents me from creating a real own thing. Then you'll most likely imitate stuff or use simular technics to much .... not something i prefer. I do use certain music to get in to the mood in the studio.. alot of 70s / 80s /90s music. Those tracks from the 80s have these massive vibes to them.. like riel well engineered ... After i am in the mood to make some music i try to reflect my thaughts and experiences in to the music i'm making.... So basicaly at the end of the day you'd have my thaughts sounding as music.. pretty cool when i think of it haa.. GC: What are your thoughts on the trance scene as a whole? SVR: I am loving it. All of it. I do think we should get a couple of million more people from each country into it , that would be ace !but other then that I have no bad words about it at all. The scene is getting bigger and bigger and the music is also evolving which is a good thing if you ask me ! I don't like to limit myself to one genre or one style. GC: What is your favourite track to play and which is your favourite to listen to in your own time? SVR: Mmmmm... i'd have to single one track out which is always hard.. but i would say.. Sander van Doorn's Apple. Not only because i like fruit but this track just does it for me at the moment. In my own time you would find me listening to alot of EDM in general .. sorting out promo's but when i wanna relax and sit back i'll listen to The Doors,Nirvana, Pet Shop Boys, alot of 80s music like Simply Red, Simple Minds, U2 etc etc... a favorite would be " Come as you are" by Nirvana... amongst alot of others !! GC: As the latest graduate to join trance music’s elite ‘Van Clan’, is the secret to success all in the name? What advice would you give to any budding DJs? SVR: Well we all wished it was all in the name haha.. saved alot of people alot of work i think... i do think this "van" thing helps.. don't ask me why i'm not a marketing expert but somehow it just does.So far everything just went by itself.Call it luck or whatever you want...I think it all starts at the artist itself at first.If your tracks get massive support you'll be noticed and if they do well when they are released you'll get noticed even more... The Artists them selves are at the base of of it all. After that you'll have the whole marketing and pr engine which does alot of the other work around succes i think. Internet is a powerfull tool now a days... My advice to other budding dj's... stay yourself, do your own thing .. do not copy another artist you look up....and don't make up artists names like Pauly Van Crackengine, or James Van Sigaret... you see alot of that going around these days. There's that "Van" thing again haha. Now that i think of it. Would James Bond be more successfull if it was James Van Bond ? Or would Jack The Ripper have been more scary and more mysterious if it was Jack Van The Ripper ? GC: Paul van Dyk commented on your track ‘My Dreams’ as having “one unique sound that made it rock!”. How would you describe your sound? SVR: My sound.. i think it would be, Melodic,Warm,Driving,Percussive, sometimes riel deep but not that deep....a bit uplifitng sometimes but not uplifting as in 140bpm... I shall call it The Riel Sound ? GC: Gatecrasher will be 15 years old this September. Why do you think Gatecrasher have continued to be successful after so many years? SVR: Because they finaly booked me haha just kidding there Gatecrasher is a brand that has been at the top for years, and will be for many more years to come if you ask me. I think at the base you need to have a good team who knows how it all works and who is able to really work together so that once stuff takes place it all comes together. Gatecrasher has it and does it. Alot of dj's from Holland could kill me at this moment to play there in my place (or atleast knock me out)..... I'm riel happy to be part of Gatecrasher .. without a doubt one of the Highlights amongst Trance Energy for me in 2008 !! GC: It will be your debut for Gatecrasher this September. What can the Gatecrasher crowd expect from you at the 15th Birthday event in Sheffield? SVR: I promissed i'd make balloon animals at Crasher in September but they told me if i'd come there in my clownsuit for their b-day the bouncers wouldn't let me in....haha... What can people expect, i'm gonna do my best to rock it over there.. i never make a set before i play.. i always go to the venue before i have to get onstage and taste the atmosphere and see the people and then take it from there.... but expect alot of new and bangin' stuff for riel !! GC: What is Sied Van Riel up to for the rest of 2008 and moving into the New Year? SVR: Well so far 2008 has been massive. I travelled to countries such as The Ukraine,Italy,USA,Germany,Turkey,Cyprus,Romania,Oman and what have you....i just returned from an event with Tiesto and the remaining part of 2008 is set to be even more massive... Uk,Norway,Scotland,Slovakia,Romania,Lebanon, an australie festival tour and alot more have recently been added to my agenda... Other then that alot of studio work is planned in between. My new single will be released in October, the remixes i did for Armin van Buuren and Offer Nissim will also be released soon i think... The support on the remix for Offer is getting some insane support btw.. massive !! I'm not yet focussed on 2009 though.. requests are coming in already but it's to early to actually plan it now i think. I'm still enjoying 2008 to much to be focussing on 2009 already. I think we are planning a mix compilation aswell for 2008.. that would be my first... awesome but i'm not rushing things like that.

News on Sheffield will be coming soon....

"3 Hours of Massive Energy" From Ferry Corsten at Gatecrasher's 15th Birthday back in Sheffield JanineGC Gatecrasher catch up Ferry Corsten, ahead of his 3 hour set at the Gatecrasher 15th Birthday event, at their spiritual home in Sheffield. GC: Described as the ?architect, pioneer and instigator? of trance, what are your thoughts on the scene as a whole? Ferry: Trance has come a long way since it?s heyday in the late nineties. It has gone through a phase of progressive, harder , electro and it looks like it?s slowly going back to it roots. In my opinion, if done right, trance is the most innovative music genre out there. GC: With numerous Dutch Gold awards and UK Top 40 hits for your productions, which are you more, a DJ or a Producer? Ferry: -In the beginning, I used to say that I was more of a producer than a DJ. I was lucky to break into the scene through the success of my own music productions in the late nineties. However, due to that success, I was able to release a number of compilations called Trance Nation with Ministry of Sound which kicked off my career as a DJ. After all these years, I would say that I am definitely both? a producer and a DJ. I spend just as much time (sometimes even more due to travelling ) DJing as I have sitting in the studio late at night to finish a track. The difference nowadays, is that I work on my productions a lot on the road as I do not have the luxury to wait to get home to start on a track. GC: With such a hectic schedule, how does Ferry Corsten unwind and relax? Ferry: When you?re really busy, you really get to enjoy the simple things in life. I am so happy when I get to come home, hang in my own couch, sleep in my own bed, and eat a great home cooked meal. GC: What is your current top 5? Ferry: 1. Masters & Nickson ft. Justine Suissa - 5Th Dimension (Daniel Kandi Bangin' Mix) 2. Off Key - Showdown (Ali Wilson & Scott Attrill Remix) 3. Re:Locate & Menno de Jong ? Spirit (Paul Miller 2008 Rework) 4. Embrace ? Embrace (Ferry Fix) 5. Solarstone - 4Ever GC: What piece of advice would you give to any DJ aspiring to be the next Ferry Corsten? Ferry: I always tell people to trust themselves and to follow their own path. You can be successful in copying other people but you can have success and earn a lot more respect if you do things in your own unique way. GC: Which DJs do you predict to be hot for 2008 /09? Ferry: I?ve been pretty impressed with the last productions and DJ sets of Bart Claessen. He?s been putting out some real powerful productions and remixes. Casey Keyworth ?Breakfast? has been travelling with me on a couple of tours now and I?m very impressed with his DJ skills and of course his productions. GC: You have played for Gatecrasher on numerous occasions, most recently at the Gatecrasher Resurrection at Magna in March. You will be back to headline their 15th Birthday Event back in their spiritual home of Sheffield. Why do you think Gatecrasher have continued to be successful after so many years? Ferry: Gatecrasher has continued to be successful after so many years because they have managed to work with the times. Whereas a lot of brands have fallen off the map or are struggling to keep up with the way big shows are produced nowadays, Gatecrasher has persevered. GC: You have always had a special relationship with the crowd at Gatecrasher. What makes it so aspecial? Ferry: I guess because Gatecrasher was one of those clubs that helped make trance music the success . it is today. I was looking at a Gatecrasher Classic CD a few months back and saw how many of my production contributed to that classic CD. GC: What can the Gatecrasher crowd expect from you at the 15th Birthday event? Ferry: 3 hours of massive energy. GC: What is Ferry Corsten up to for the rest of 2008 and moving into the New Year? Ferry: Ferry is working very hard to finish his latest artist album taking a bit of time off after that to enjoy some important things in life
