Arguably the two biggest 'BRAND' names within trance music but which do you prefer and why?

Can discuss their club nights, CD releases anything about the two but indicate why you think they are the dominant brand within trance music.

in terms of brand....

5 years ago, Gatecrasher... absolutely no doubt about that

5 years on, i.e. now, Godskitchen

Ive been hearing good things about gods never got into gatecrasher. I think you missed one ultra. That is a major brand imo also sparks a major event yearly.

Godskitchen for me

Main reason:

Jon O Bir is resident dj there and is one of my fav. dj's at da moment and is probably Britains next big trance dj since Oakie

GODSKITCHEN

There definitely producing better CDs now imo

Gatecrasher still do good large events with all the big names so they're on a level par i think in that respect.

one thing Gods hasn't managed to do yet though is build their *own club* unlike Crasher which has

true though i haven't been to either Air or Gatecrasher in sheffield so cudnt say which is best

Crasher is a wicked club, no doubt about that... can't compare it to Air tho cos havent been there yet

i seen some great pics of crasher ladies dancing on podiums and stuff looks cool just a very long way for me to travel.

well Northampton is 70 miles from London and Sheffield is 100 miles further North... so Crasher is 30 miles further than London clubs, not too much

air is a great club indeedly

id say gods..... they have a regular weekly weekend night, and crasher doesnt

exactly,

they also do Global Gathering, more Arena events than Crasher and have not sold our half as bad as Crasher have!

Too be fair ive not been too crasher, but too be honest it is very rare that they have a good night at the weekend these days, except classics..

God's all the way!!

it's true - Crasher is sh*te for trance now. Has one night a month at best. It's turned into a student club with 'cheap drink offers' and sh*te music to get lashed to. It used to be awesome back in the day, 1999 - 2002 sort of time but now Gods has taken over as a brand

woops i though u were talking about venues,
i voted for gatecrasher purely cos ive never been to a gods

Gods for me

Godskitchen wins it, because they have stayed with the dance industry more.

I attended gatecrasher a number of times at sheffield, NEC, and the summer sound system, and they were amazing events, but now godskitchen it leading the way in the industry

lets say Godskitchen

I'd have to say Godskitchen only cos ive not been to Gatecrasher.... yet!

It was Crasher when I was clubbing but Crasher died when they stopped doing weekly events everyonr stopped going it wasnt a club any more i dunno what its like now Gods was and is awesome but in its day crasher was easily the winner no question
God I miss it

the club itself is very smart... 2 swaanky rooms and a very classy lounge area. The clubnights it has, however, are absolutely CACK these days, apart from Nu-Crasher once a month of course

Ive been to Both and U can't Beat Crasher IMO...Although Gods' is obv attracting the Bigger Names............

I ll never forget My nights @ Crasher in the olden Days of Matt Hardwick....Ferry.....1999-2002

Hands in the air still@6am in the Morning!...the glowstcks...CyberKids....The people...the classics Night....

i haven't really head much about Gatechrasher but i have heard good things come out of Godskitchen.

yeh those were the days, Crasher used to have huge names week in week out. It's more of a student club now though
