Gatecrasher presents John ‘00’ Fleming & Adam Sheridan

When it comes to hot parties, one club definitely knows how to throw it: Gatecrasher, the renowned super club credited for elevating the appreciation of trance music around the world. It’s been a while since they last threw a Gatecrasher bash here, so it should come as good news for all that a slice of the Gatecrasher experience can once again be enjoyed at Zouk this April.

The two DJs coming down for the Gatecrasher party are John ‘00’ Fleming and Adam Sheridan, who are definitely not strange names to the clubbing community. Fleming is a regular fixture in the top 100 polls, and was recently voted one of the best DJs in the world by the Trance Addict website. Having suffered from lung cancer when he was only 20, Fleming is one of those DJs who doesn’t hold back from anything, owing to his traumatic past experiences. Constantly pushing genres and experimenting, this label owner, producer and writer (he has a column in Future magazine) is a much respected name in the trance genre with an ultra devoted fan base.

While Fleming is more than established, 24-year-old Sheridan is a hot rising name in the UK dance scene. He was just shy of making it into the top 100 polls (coming in at number 102) last year but we have a sneaky feeling that 2008 will see him breaking into the coveted list. And after all, it’s been said that one should never judge a DJ from her/his poll position and that is rightfully so for Sheridan. 2007 was a landmark year for the upstart. He toured America, Germany, Poland, Canada, did the festival rounds and released quite a few trance records that were memorable, like “Another Tomorrow” and “Solus.” He also secured a residency at the infamous Cream at Ibiza, and spun at mega clubs like Godskitchen, Lush, and of course, Gatecrasher. Like his idol Carl Cox, Sheridan mixes trance, techno and dirty house together using three decks. He’s going to be big this year, catch this star ascendant while you can.
