We were all from Preston, but we used to try and get to the Republic twice a month for years 99-05 and never once did we have a poor night. The energy and excitement that place created was the best club environment by a country mile back then and no doubt it would still be if it was today. Anyone that was a part of Gatecrasher simply knows how incredible it was.
Mate, Crasher, then Insomniacz (at the old Corporation) and then the Howard was my every weekend in 2000! It was a privilege to dance with you even if we maybe never met! Itwillalwaysbewithyou 💓
Drove up from Cornwall many times for these nights, well worth the 6 hour trip every time! Never enjoyed the drive home the next morning though 🤣 still think about republic all the time...what I'd do for one last night there....
Wow I bet that drive home was fucking brutal mate . 😂... Absolutely loved that place as well I was fortunate to live in Sheffield from 98-03 and was there almost every wknd. I ended up moving to the south west for 16 years in 2005. Now back up north. But I still miss & often think about those epic times at Gatecrasher & TH-cam helps me briefly relive it. Such an unbelievable experience it was like entering another world for 8 hours and the music was just outrageous. Trance peaked big time. Take me back!!! Itwillalwaysbewithyou. 🎶👌🏻
This is a great video! Would love to see the separate clips though to hear the tunage played at the time. Please upload some more, all those memories and lasers need to be revisited especially during these dark times...
@@TRISTRAMY Please, I do love going through TH-cam and seeing all the old videos from the Republic and other Gatecrasher events like Red & Black at Carling Academy. Even tracklisted a few sets purely from clips.
Shame it burnt down alot of time and effort went into making a club I went one seb fontaine was on not keen would of loved to go when scott bond love his tunes or aly and fila went to 2 crasher necs though
Funny how it got burnt down straight after the smoking ban came in and that club was coincidentally unable to set up an outdoor smoking area. Not saying that it was ever an insurance job for legal reasons; it was totally an accident.
Great club visited once back in 2000 and went the to the summer sound system, but cream in Liverpool was right on my doorstep, 2 fantastic clubs now demolished I'm glad to have been to both especially right at the birth of the trance scene in late 1998 and right through 1999 some awesome tracks were made in that time.

98-99 were golden years for trance music and gatecrasher at the republic and both lotherton halls were class!!
That classic trance sounds as clean today as it did 20 years. 😢😔😌
It will always be with you ❤😢❤
How the Hell did this amazing stuff come to an end - NOTHING BEATS THOSE DAYS
Gatecrasher was something else, and so was this tune Goldenscan - Halcyon. God how I love this tune
Always had an amazing time at Crasher, it is sorely missed. Along with Insomniacz and The Howard. Amazing music and happy people :D

Best days of my life
Judging by the decor on that night and the time that tune was being played on dub; I have a funny feeling that I really was there. On that very night.

steve bates+ me too although I don’t think my teeth would take another night in there 🤪
