The Club Gates Are Being Torn Down in Moscow

In Russia the first Gatecrasher event was held by Zeppelin Production in May 2004 at the Gaudi Pavilion. At the time the festival, featuring Ferry Corsten, Gabriel & Dresden, Andy Fletcher of Depeche Mode and Leeroy Thornhill, drew 8,000 Moscow clubbers. In December 2006, thanks to the company Gaudi Production, the English festival Gatecrasher returned to Russia once again. The pre-New-Year rave featuring Christopher Lawrence, Fergie and Riley & Durrant gathered around four thousand clubbers on the Gaudi dance floor. The second episode of the Gatecrasher Russia festival will take place at Gaudi Arena on March 17. This time the famous club brand has assembled on Moscow's main dance floor a true star-studded international line-up — the Britons Trillseekers, John 'oo' Fleming and Matt Hardwick, the Belgian M.I.K.E. Push and the Dutchmen Signum. So what can we expect from Gatecrasher this year?

Gatecrasher Live in Moscow

Володя Фонарь:

It's always a pleasure for me to take part in festivals that are in the format of my music — in this case it's specifically a trance festival. I very much hope that all the fans and admirers of this music will turn up. I'll also have the chance to listen to artists I haven't heard in a long time — M.I.K.E. Push and Signum! All the artists on Gatecrasher Rules have been working in this direction of music for a long time, and I think it really will be an interesting event. When an interesting brand has years of experience and history behind it — that's excellent. All the more so since the music it presents is international, and we get the chance to see a professional product on our dance scene. In any case, all the events that Yura Marychev and the Gaudi Arena team put on always carry a mark of quality, and that's the most important thing in electronic music.

Тина Чарльз:

I'm really looking forward to Gatecrasher and I love it! I hope that this year the festival will have a lot of good people on the dance floor, a pleasant atmosphere and quality music from our foreign colleagues. I'm still under the impression of the recent festival in St Petersburg, "Tsekh 7". We performed there — at the Yubileyny — and it was a real rave! Events of that scale happen very rarely in Russia, and even more so in Moscow, so from Gatecrasher I'll be expecting a real thrill! I believe that the more events like this we have, the better.

Майк Спирит:

The English trance scene isn't especially close to me, so it's hard for me to talk about the invited stars. But I do know the Russian side of the participants and I can say with confidence that they are true professionals at their craft! I hope that this year the festival will take on a greater scale, moving out of the walls of the karting club and onto the street — I want a grand celebration, I want Gatecrasher on the street. Although, in my view, this event hasn't yet reached the scale of a real electronic music festival, but it can confidently be called a big party or even a genuine rave. In general, festivals are great (Creamfields, for example, showed itself at its best). And I propose that we do Russian festivals! It's long overdue!

March 17, Saturday, club Gaudi Arena, the Gatecrasher Rules festival, featuring Matt Hardwick, Trillseekers, John 'oo' Fleming, the Belgian M.I.K.E. Push, the Dutchmen Signum and our compatriots Volodya Fonar, Tina Charles and Sergey Pimenov.
