Gareth Emery (aka GTR) April 17th

Boring DJs be very afraid: Gareth Emery is about to kick your arse.
--Feature on Gareth Emery in Mixmag, November 2002

Unless you’ve spent the last few months with your eyes closed in a cave listing to top40 country, you’ll have noticed there has been some big talent pass through our great city.

Gareth Emery was one of them. Still haven’t caught on? Well also known as GTR, Gareth not only destroyed the Plaza of Nations this past New Years Eve 04', but rebuilt it and took it down again!

Now he's BACK! w/ 5AM Record Tour
Saturday, April 17th, an Exclusive Extended Set
Plaza of Nations Complex (new venue)
750 Pacific Blv. -Vancouver, BC
Brought to you by UNION & FNK.CA

Known for his unbelievable chart toppers this 23 year old DJ gives even current world trance veterans a run for their record bags. Playing UK superclubs like Godskitchen, Slinky, The Gallery and even headlining Passion on his first appearance at the club!

Coming from a diverse musical background which encompassed classical piano training and jazz along the way, Gareth gave up playing lead guitar in a punk-rock band to start producing dance music seriously in 2001, and immediately attracted attention with his first release. The track, entitled ‘Nervous Breakdown 2002’, was a white label bootleg of The Shrink's infamous classic which found its way onto BBC Radio 1 after being supported by a host of DJs including Eddie Halliwell, Guy Ornadel and Dave Pearce. It was immediately picked up by Nutrition for an official release and later featured on a number of compilations including the Godskitchen Direct mix album.

In addition to his success in the UK, Gareth's popularity as an international DJ has grown rapidly: in the latter half of 2003 he played overseas dates in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Sweden and Northern Ireland. As Mixmag wrote when they first tipped Gareth for success in late 2002: “boring DJs beware: Gareth Emery is about to kick your arse”, and they certainly weren't wrong. Approaching the close of 2003 he was voted the 132nd best DJ in the world in the prestigious DJ Mag Top 100 Poll - a fitting end to a superb year, and a clear sign of the impact Gareth's DJ sets have made in a short period.

Hey everyone ! This show is shaping up to be a beauty !
Tickets , flyers and posters are everywhere .
Those bastards keep taking my posters home and throwing them up on there walls . Everyone we have spoken to is very excited for this show . Gaz cant believe hes coming back so soon , he loved vancouver . Lets show him some serious support . we have two companys working together to try and bring a crazy sound and lighting atmosphere . ( Turbo sound ) Pre sales are going really well , looks like alot of people are starting to talk about this night . All i can say is everyone always bitches about the fact that there is no booze at the killer parties . Thus the reason we went for a club night . Take advantage of this and lets rock that place . Everyone better come out and support or ill hunt you all down one by one !
