Returning
to the spotlight with a new album planned for 2011 is Armand Van Helden who
plays an exclusive set at Gateacrasher. His previous productions “Hear My
Name,” “My My My,” and “Let Me Lead You” remind us of
the brilliance of early classics “The Funk Phenomena”, “You Don’t Know
Me” and “Witchdokta.” With tracks like these Van Helden
became THE name for forward-thinking pop artists to recruit for remixing duty
from the Rolling Stones, Janet Jackson to Puff Daddy and Daft Punk. But
how does someone who doesn’t like remixes continue to turn out work that rivals
his classic remixes of ‘Sugar is Sweeter’ by CJ Bolland, ‘Professional Widow’
by Tori Amos ‘Spin Spin Sugar’ by Sneaker Pimps? Fast forward to 2009 and he
features on Dizzee Rascal’s no.1 smash “Bonkers” before hooking up
Canadian DJ A-Trak to create “aNYway”, which was released in October
under the name Duck Sauce . The duo later gained chart success with their club
smash “Barbra Streisand”. There’s also a new album planned for this
year packed full of “soccer stadium style” anthems.

Van
Helden is joined by DJ Sneak. A man like DJ Sneak needs no introduction to the
House music fraternity, he’s a true Chicago legend who has been integral part
of the clubbing landscape for over 20 years now. Sneak was a legend on the
Chicago circuit during the early 1980. A chance meeting with Cajmere and Green
Velvet creator Curtis Jones led to pivotal releases on Jones’ two iconic
labels, Relief and Casual, and so began a rapid rise to the top. By the mid-90s
Sneak was revolutionizing clubland with his unique disco-filter house sound; a
sound that would lead to monster Teddy Pendergrass-sampling hit You Can’t Hide
From Your Bud, and would create a favourable impression on output from the
similarly influential likes of Daft Punk and Armand Van Helden. Today the buzz
around him is as feverish as it has ever been.

Gatecrasher
favourite Oliver Lang joins the party. It’s been another top year for DJ,
Producer and Label Owner Oliver Lang With tracks out on leading labels
Toolroom, Spinnin & Blackhole, his continuing legendary residency with Bora
Bora in Ibiza and two new residencies with Gatecrasher and Perverted Audio,
combined with dates all over the globe and for leading venues including Sankeys
Manchester, Honey Club Brighton, Versuz Belgium, Matter London and Privilege
Ibiza Plus the launch of his new label DOJO Oliver has all the boxes well and
truly ticked!

Completing
the main-room line up are Gatecrasher residents Martin Wright and Dave
Thatcher.
