Gatecrasher Rules in Moscow!

The second episode of the Gatecrasher Russia festival will take place at Gaudi Arena on March 17. This time, the famous club brand has gathered a true stellar international lineup on the main dance floor of Moscow - British artists The Thrillseekers, John ‘00’ Fleming, and Matt Hardwick, Belgian M.I.K.E. Push, Dutch artists Signum, and our compatriot Volodya Fonar. Gatecrasher is one of the key players in the world of contemporary dance music. Alongside Pacha, Cream, and Godskitchen, it is part of the "big five" global club brands that define the policies and trends in the world electronic music market. The Gatecrasher label was founded in England in 1993 by promoters Simon Raine, Simon Oates, and Scott Bond. The global empire with multimillion-dollar turnover started from a small club in provincial Birmingham. Within a few years, the fame of Gatecrasher parties echoed around the world, and the symbol of Gatecrasher, a rearing lion, became a sort of quality mark in the world of dance music. Initially, Gatecrasher's musical policy was focused on house and techno, but in the early 21st century, the club rebranded itself to a more popular trance music. A collaboration with iconic DJs like Paul Oakenfold, Paul Van Dyk, Tiesto, and Armin Van Buuren made Gatecrasher the leading dance label in the world with tens of thousands of devoted fans calling themselves crasher kids. Being one of the most influential organizations in the world of dance music, Gatecrasher continues to operate successfully in the domestic market, unlike many competitors who have closed their clubs in the UK. Today, the label owns three superclubs - Gatecrasher One in Sheffield, Discotheque in Leeds, and Media in Nottingham. Since 2000, Gatecrasher promoters have been hosting their parties in Ibiza, Japan, Eastern Europe, and Latin America. The Gatecrasher team also organizes global dance events - Gatecrasher Summer Sound System (40,000 attendees), Gatecrasher NEC (15,000 attendees), and Crasher N/Ice (7,500 attendees), and curated the line up for the fifth anniversary FortDance festival, where DJ Tiesto performed. The club brand has its own music label. Compilations of Black, Red, Wet, Disco-tech, Global Sound System, and National Anthems series are released in gigantic print runs and distributed by the global giant Sony Music. The club has won prestigious awards multiple times - Club of the Year (Muzik Magazine), Event of the Year (Disco International), Crowd of the Year (Mixmag). In Russia, the first Gatecrasher event was organized by Zeppelin Production in May 2004 at the Gaudi Pavilion. The festival featuring Ferry Corsten, Gabriel & Dresden, Andy Flatcher from Depeche Mode, and Leeroy Thornhill attracted 8,000 Moscow clubbers. In December 2006, thanks to Gaudi Production, the Gatecrasher festival returned to Russia. The pre-New Year rave with Christopher Lawrence, Fergie, and Riley & Durrant attracted around four thousand clubbers to the dance floor at Gaudi. The upcoming party could easily surpass this record – there are plenty of fans of pure and powerful trance sound in Moscow. March 17, Saturday, Gaudi Arena presents the Gatecrasher Rules festival, featuring The Thrillseekers, John ‘00’ Fleming, Matt Hardwick, Belgian M.I.K.E. Push, Dutch Signum, and our compatriot Volodya Fonar.
