Gatecrasher
Encyclopedia
Gatecrasher is an international clubbing brand made famous by the Gatecrasher (later Crasher) dance music
events held at the Gatecrasher One
nightclub in Sheffield
, England
during the late 1990s
and early 2000s. The event received awards such as "Club Of The Year" at the Ericsson Muzik Magazine
Dance Awards in 1998. The promoters were Simon Raine, Simon Oates and until 2004 Scott Bond. As of 2011 there are three permanent Gatecrasher venues located in the cities of Birmingham
, Watford
and Nottingham
.
was DJing at nightclubs in Birmingham when around 1992 Scott met up with Simon Raine, the then manger of a club called Bakers. Scott agreed to become the new resident DJ at Bakers with Simon promoting the new night called Absolutely Ridiculous.
In 1993 Scott Bond started his own night Republica at Bakers. Later that year Simon and Scott decided to collaborate again and stage a one off bank holiday event and called it Gatecrasher.
at the Tardebigge Engine House
. The night originally took its form from similar local clubs such as 'Fun', 'Wobble', 'Miss Moneypenny's' and C.R.E.A.M.
The club later moved to Bakers nightclub on Broad Street, but became so popular that larger events were organised in other locations in and around the West Midlands
.
Due to a large number of similar nights in the Birmingham area, the event relocated. The decision was made to move to the northern city of Sheffield
. Sheffield had a vibrant nightlife and allowed nightclubs to open all night.
The event was initially held in the Leadmill, then at The Arches, before moving to The Adelphi.
Gatecrasher offered an all night event, with 'big name' DJ's throughout the night, with Judge Jules
a resident. This attracting people from all over the country with a music style that was originally Techno
and House oriented. The door policy was notoriously strict, seemingly turning people away for no apparent reason. Instead of discouraging people to attend, this policy only made the event more popular: successfully getting admitted to the club only added to the sense of excitement. The door policy also ensured that only dedicated and enthusiastic clubbers gained access. This resulted in a clientele and atmosphere that was rare at that time in any club in the UK. The door policy and fashion at the end of the 1990s encouraged people to dress in a flamboyant style to ensure entry to the night. The club developed a cult following (Crasher Kids) who in turn developed their own style of fashion, identifiable by fluorescent clothes, dummies and spiky hair. Scott Bond's style of dance music was reflected in the DJs booked for the nights and at the end of the 1990s, Gatecrasher was instrumental in the rise of trance music
.
In 1998 Gatecrasher joined forces with the London nightclub Ministry of Sound
and held their first outdoor festival held at Lotherton Hall
in Leeds
, broadcast on BBC Radio 1
.
1998 saw the launch of Gatecrasher into the CD market with 'Black'.
The following year they held the event alone and again the event was broadcast on the Essential Mix
on BBC Radio 1
. It was during this period that they started to use Sheffield's the Designer's Republic to produce their artwork, refining the logo and introducing for the first time the Gatecrasher font.
In 1999 Gatecrasher bought the Music Factory, a second nightclub in Sheffield and renamed it Bed. The nightclub focused on an older and more sophisticated crowd than Gatecrasher, playing mainly house music
.
Gatecrasher’s "2000GC" Millennium Eve event was held at the Don Valley Stadium
in Sheffield. The massive arena held a sell-out crowd of 25,000, and had the look and feel of a stadium rock concert. According to Gatecrasher promoter Simon Raine, 2000GC was "ten years of promoting parties, ten years of production knowledge and ten years of contacts all put into one very special night."
Gatecrasher relocated their summer festival to Turweston Airfield near Brackley, Northamptonshire. The renamed Summer Sound System event was held in June 2000. 25,000 clubbers saw 50 DJs play. The same event in 2001 and 2002 saw an increased capacity of 40,000.
2001 then saw the launch of Gatecrashers own record label
and the first album, "Digital".
On May 19, 2001 South Yorkshire Police
made a drugs raid on the republic nightclub making 13 arrests and seizing "a substantial amount" of drugs.
Around 800 clubbers were ejected from the premises in the city's Matilda Street when 160 officers swooped at 11.40pm, seizing what a police spokesperson described as a substantial amount of tablets, powders and substances, some of which are believed to be cocaine and ecstasy.
By 2002, UK clubland had changed. Gatecrasher were struggling to consistently fill the venue every week. The Crasher Kids had started to put people off visiting the club, as many perceived that one had to dress like them to get in. Gatecrasher needed to attract a new following and moved the music policy to more Progressive house. The change in direction and the banning of Crasher Kids alienated some of their original fans. The Gatecrasher event became a monthly event due to the dwindling numbers and a general decline in the previously hugely popular trance scene. This was also the year that Gatecrasher London at Heaven
. The event at Heaven was short lived.
In order for Gatecrasher to continue, the company began to focus on the nightclub market and not just the single events. So In 2003, the company rebranded The Republic and completely refitted it, renaming it Gatecrasher One
, as it was supposedly the first of ten new Gatecrasher venues around the UK. At the same time the actual club night was renamed 'Crasher', the abbreviated name already used by some of its fans before the refit. Gatecrasher closed the Bed nightclub.
In 2005, the company opened a new club in Leeds under the name Discotheque. This was originally planned to be called Gatecrasher 2, but over the years the brand name of Gatecrasher had been tarnished and the company felt the need to take a slice of action from the rising Funky House scene.
In 2007 Gatecrasher bought Media nightclub in Nottingham
and refurbished it. It was launched as Gatecrasher Loves Nottingham.
On the evening of 18 June 2007 Gatecrasher One caught fire and partially collapsed. Smoke could be seen across the city. There were only a small number of staff in the building at the time and they evacuated the building safely. No official cause or explanation for the fire has been released. It was believed that the fire started in the DJ box in the main room. Following the fire council officers stated that they wanted the building to be saved if possible. Further inspections by structural engineers revealed that the building was beyond repair and that any attempt to restore the building would be unsafe. Consequently the buildings were demolished
Gatecrasher in Leeds was rebranded as Gatecrasher7 in 2007. The downstairs room was fully overhauled and branded as BED. As well as forming part of the venue, Bed is utilised as a self-contained 400 capacity venue with a separate entrance, toilets, DJ booths, Bars, with stylish sunken booths and designer Italian furniture.
On September 2008, Gatecrasher opened a '5 million pound superclub' on Broad Street in Birmingham at the former site of the Works nightclub. To build the club, Gatecrasher enlisted the services of internationally celebrated designers Big Time Design to create the ultimate Miami style club experience.
2009 also witnessed the rebrand of Gatecrasher Loves Nottingham to Gatecrasher Ultra. Each of the club’s three levels and the main auditorium were redesigned.
Gatecrasher also overhauled their Watford venue 'Area' in 2009 adding a pre-bar called Bed.
Since the fire at Gatecrasher One, Gatecrasher have held one-off events at the Magna Centre near Rotherham
and Carling Academy in Sheffield
.
In 2010, the company announced a new £5 million reopening of Gatecrasher One, subject to planning approval. However, this was later refused by Sheffield City Council. The decision is now being appealed by Gatecrasher.
Gatecrasher7 in Leeds was shutdown on 29th March 2011, it had previously had its licensed revoked earlier in the year.
(15,000 Capacity), Crasher N/Ice (at the Nottingham Ice Arena) (7,500 Capacity), Gatecrasher Sound System (Australia
) and Fort Dance in Russia
(40,000 Capacity). The promoters also ran a popular Gatecrasher night for one season at Eden in Ibiza
during the summer of 2000. This was revived for 2006/7 with the award winning "Gatecrasher Ibiza Live" parties held once again at Eden (nightclub), San Antonio.
