Figured given it was Matt that this needs a thread on here.... Fresh off the back of our packed UK Showcase event which saw some of the finest British talent take over the decks, we return on August 19th with something rather special! OTR is proud to announce that we are to host what is sure to be a piece of history, as Matt Hardwick graces the decks with what is to be his last ever set! On June 18th the sad announcement came that Matt Hardwick would be hanging up his headphones, as other commitments would prevent him from continuing his DJ career. We decided that it was only right that we should be able to give him the send off he deserves after so many memorable sets over the years, and it is only fitting for him to play his final ever set in the city where he started, right here in Sheffield. Having become Gatecrasher’s resident in the late 90’s Matt has gone on to perform and play at some of the most prestigious events. A truly international DJ, Matt has played all over the world and at some of the biggest festivals, arena events and of course Don Valley stadium on the Millennium. However the majority of us probably remember him for those epic sets, just down the road from us at the legendary Gatecrasher nights at The Republic. How could we ever forget those sets at the Red and Black nights alongside Scott Bond and Eddie Halliwell? Or his sets at the White Parties? And his 4-hour solo set back in 2002, alongside all the other countless nights where he’s packed out the dancefloor? And not forgetting the renowned Resident Transmission CDs that will remain in many a clubber’s CD player for years to come. Taking a look back over his illustrious career it is clear to see why he has become one of the most in-demand DJs. As we have followed him throughout the years we have seen him become one of the most consistent DJs; with his flawless sets, effortless mixing and epic tune selection he has built up an incredible fan base, which is a testament to his talent, and as such he will definitely be missed from the scene. So for one final time lets all get together and show our appreciation for one of the greats of the scene. We ask you to join us and take part in this piece of trance history, in his hometown, for what is sure to be one of OTR’s most memorable nights… The legend that is Matt Hardwick will grace the decks and tear off the roof for one final time on Friday 19th August with OTR at Plug nightclub, Sheffield. A night definitely not to be missed! LIMITED £8 EARLYBIRDS NOW SALE VIA SKIDDLE: http://www.skiddle.com/events/11494106/ FURTHER DETAILS FOR THIS EVENT TO FOLLOW IN THE NEAR FUTURE...
