DJ Christopher Lawrence to release CD and tour

Fresh from taking fourth place in UK-based DJ Magazine’s highly coveted Top 100 poll in 2006, superstar DJ Christopher Lawrence dons his thermals, downs his vodka and joins forces with Sheffield, England clubbing institution Gatecrasher, for the release of its phenomenal Live In Moscow compilation.
Live in Moscow is the first in a new series of DJ-led mix albums which finds Lawrence capturing his inimitable energy behind the decks on wax, live from the superb Gaudi Arena club in Moscow. Ripping his way through a two CD showcase of underground trance, the US legend gives a master class in starting a party. CD 1 mixes the likes of Dan Stone’s hard hitting stomper of a track “Made in Bahrain’” and Vibrasphere’s euphoric trancer “Landmark” with scorching, ferocious synths from Basic vs. Echotek’s “Mind Factor.” CD 2 unleashes the legendary John 00 Fleming’s anthemic collaboration with Lawrence on “Beyond the Limit” swiftly followed by the pulsing bass line and driving melody of “Rasa Lila.” Former head of Tidy Trax, Lee Haslam, also features as he embarks on his first foray into straight up trance with the bouncy and energetic tracks ‘The Future’ and “Checkmate.”
Once an outsider in a scene dominated by European and UK DJs, Christopher Lawrence is now considered one of the key global players in international dance music, receiving numerous awards. Described as the “biggest DJ in the USA” by BBC’s Radio One, Christopher is most definitely America’s leading dance music export, playing tough techno trance sets on the main stage of the world’s biggest festivals and super clubs. He has played the famed Coachella festival more than any other DJ, and is the only US DJ to have been invited to headline all three of the inaugural Ministry of Sound, Cream and Gatecrasher tours of America.
Since its creation in 1993, Gatecrasher has rapidly become the UK's most outstanding and influential dance club and youth culture brand, changing the face of club culture globally.From ground-breaking events such as the Millennium Eve at the Don Valley Stadium, where 25,000 people saw in the New Year to the block rocking beats of the Chemical Brothers and the 50,000 capacity Summer Sound System festivals in Oxfordshire through to the hugely successful Gatecrasher Ibiza Live at Eden last summer, this global institution keeps going from strength to strength, with this being its first album release of the year. In the world of international dance music, Christopher Lawrence has carved himself out as a true leader and with super club Gatecrasher at the helm; Live in Moscow looks destined to become a must-have for all trance fans.
