Matt Hardwick retira-se do DJ'ing

[TrancEnigmatic]

Não era dos DJ's que mais acompanhava mas gostei muito dos sets que ouvi dele. Ele foi residente no Gatecrasher em Sheffield durante muitos anos e foi um dos que tocou na "noite de todas as noites", a Passagem de Ano (e de milénio) de 99 para 2000, ao lado de nomes como PvD, Chemical Brothers ou Paul Oakenfold.
O rol de más notícias para a EDM e para o Trance continua.. Os Faithless acabam, os Threshold acabam, Tillmann Uhrmacher morre, aproxima-se o 1º ano após o desastre na Love Parade do ano passado e agora esta...



Ficam as palavras do próprio Matt no seu fórum:

"My retirement"

"After spending most of my adult life traveling the world and playing at the world’s leading club events and festivals, I have decided to call it a day and hang up the headphones for good.

As some of you will recall, and as a result of other commitments in my life, last year I decided to pull back from full time touring. Whilst the intention then was to continue to play key selected events and festivals, it has since become apparent to me that I now have to commit all of my time and energy to the alternative career choice I have made.

I have enjoyed an amazing career during the halcyon years of dance music culture, I have traveled to every corner of the globe and have met some fantastic people along the way. I can honestly say that I feel privileged and honored to have been a part of a great scene. I have never had aspirations beyond just playing music and having some fun along the way.

I’d like to thank every person who ever came down to see me play and showed support for what I do. It has meant the world to me.

I have retained 3 further dates in my diary. There will be Glastonbury on 26 June and then my final UK gig will be the Ministry of Sound the following week on 1 July, with the curtain closer in Moscow the following night on 2 July. I will however continue fully with my commitments on the A&R front and generally with Kill the Lights.

Once again, thanks so much for your support over the years and hopefully I'll catch up with some of you on the dance floor at some point in the future...."

Sinceramente, pouco ou nada conheço deste homem em termos de DJing.

Tenho algumas faixas dele mas não me marcou nem como produtor nem como DJ.
No entanto eu compreendo-te, Hélder. O Trance está a mudar, uns mudam de estilo, outros desaparecem mas a vida continua.

Vamos ver o que vai acontecer ao Trance daqui por uns tempos...
