Matt Hardwick is the next to feature in my Trance Classics DJ series, a former resident Gatecrasher DJ at The Republic Sheffield, who’s now retired from the scene. 
An amazing DJ and one of my favourites I loved the sound he brought to his sets, a lot of these tracks on here feature in his resident transmission mixes as well as some of his sets at The Republic for both Gatecrasher on the Saturday and Blessed on the Monday. I hope you enjoy this mix as much as I did putting it all together.

A Tribute To Lee

A few days ago I found out Lee sadly was no longer with us anymore. I never met Lee but he was a part of the trance classics groups and he was there right at the start of my dj journey, supporting every mix I posted on the trance groups. We quickly struck up a friendship and discovered we had quite a few things in common like our love for trance music and adidas trainers. It was only last month we was planning to meet up and he was going to show me around “The Toon” as he called it. I decided I wanted to do a mix featuring Lee’s favourite tracks in memory of him, he’s left a massive void in the lives of everyone who knew him but he’s now reunited with his brother whom he loved and missed so much, I’ll miss you mate 😔

Hey Pyramid tribe,

The contest is done – and damn, you guys sent us some serious sounds.
Huge respect to everyone who shared their tracks with us. It’s clear the scene is alive and buzzing.

E-Clip and Stole (our program guy and longtime head in the psy game) sat down, listened through everything, and handpicked a bunch of tracks that captured the spirit of our two stages – Kolo and Tok.

We’ve dropped those selections into two playlists on our SoundCloud.
Now it’s your move.

Audience voting is live.
Just head to our SoundCloud and like the tracks that move you. One track from each playlist with the most likes gets the audience vote, and together with two votes from the jury, that decides who’s playing Pyramid 2025.

Voting runs until July 1st, and we’ll announce the chosen artists right after. If your track made it into the playlists – you’re already part of the crew: two tickets to the fest are coming your way no matter what.

Thanks to all of you who sent tunes – stay weird, stay loud, and see you in the mountains.

***SCOTT BOND - GATECRASHER 24TH BIRTHDAY REBOOTED - SATURDAY 21 OCTOBER 2017*** [DOWNLOAD > PLAY > SHARE!!!]

After two incredibly successful and beautifully orchestrated Gatecrasher Classical events at Sheffield City Hall, jumping on the decks at Gatecrasher for the 24th Birthday celebrations to execute that "journey of pumping Trance" to the masses, complemented the night perfectly and was nothing short of sublime. 

I came on fairly early from 11 and surprisingly by that time, the main room dancefloor was packed out! As expected, my mix consisted of numerous exclusives and I built my set up from the opening tune. It was like the crowd were synchronized to the music, they grew more energetic with each track that was played with those magical moments hands in the air moments when Charlie and I's new collaboration with Marcella Woods was dropped. Another of notable recognition was "Sweet Release" which is always incredibly well received!!

Overall, really pleased with all the positive feedback for Gatecrasher Classical as well as my DJ set. Here's to the next 24 years a little something to feed those post-Gatecrasher blues!!! :)   

This is "GATECRASHER 24TH BIRTHDAY REBOOTED - SATURDAY 21 OCTOBER 2017". DOWNLOAD > PLAY > SHARE!!!

Eddie Swales' passion is trance music. 3 years ago he took the plunge and took a keen interest in DJing. 

Eddie Swales has a passion for the classics and a substantial back catalogue, influenced from the Gatecrasher era of the late 90s and early 2000s. His style is diverse and continues to evolve, playing tech, uplifting and vocal trance both classic and current.

Eddie quickly realised from his impressive reach with his mixes and radio shows that he had discovered a raw talent and an outlet for his love for all things trance.

2023 was Eddie’s breakthrough year. Following the success of his online mixes Eddie has gained a loyal and ever-growing fan base which was soon noticed by Scott Bond. Seeing his devotion to the music that fuelled a generation, Eddie was chosen to play a set at the after-party of the Rebooted event in Sheffield.

Following this he has also played at Anomaly’s ASOL, Binary Finary’s Classic Trance event Unified, Reminiscence, warming up for AJ Gibson, Lost Witness, Kyau & Albert, The Thrillseekers and more recently Signum. Eddie also played his first international gig at Euphoria Weekender in Malta playing 2 sets over the 5 days.


With his sights set on entering the realms of production in the future, Eddie continues to express his love for our favourite genre via as many avenues as possible.

"Tune selection really is an art and in order to get it right, it requires significant preparation and having the right amount of ingredients. It has always been about the journey. Therefore, variety is required to aid the listeners on their nostalgic fix with a torrent of dancefloor destroyers to those forgotten treasures which were unfortunately overshadowed at the time."
