Godspeed - Gothica

Come with us and descend into the darkness. Plunge yourself into a netherworld of mesmerising lights, moving shadows and sounds that go bump in the night. Join thousands of like-minded souls in a celebration of the true dark arts.
Welcome to Godspeed Gothica, proudly presented by Powerhouse Productions. As the tenth chapter in the world class series, this rave spectacular sees the legends of the Hard Dance underworld gathered from around the world for one night of pure aural hedonism. Spanning hardcore, Gabba, and freeform, if you like it hard with the lights off, this is the event for you.
Once again, Godspeed has outdone itself with a high-calibre line-up that boasts the true movers and shakers of the hard dance scene, the superstar DJs and producers who have shaped it into the global force it is today. Joining them will be a new wave of rising international stars keen to blaze their own trail on the world circuit. Together, they bring the sounds and styles the Sydney rave community have been begging for.
Celebrating ten years in the business, Powerhouse Productions is dedicated to dance party excellence, responsible for such monumental events as Utopia, Prophecy and Two Tribes. In December, they’ll be commandeering the largest indoor arena in Australia – the Sydney Superdome – and transforming it into a new vision of hardcore supremacy for Godspeed Gothica. Staged over three rooms, it’ll feature Godspeed’s legendary state-of-the-art sound system and an electrical storm of lighting and effects. Let the Darkness reign.

INTERNATIONAL DJS

Paul Elstak(NL)
DJ Paul Elstak has been a pillar of the Dutch hardcore scene from the early '90s, renown for his exhaustive discography and aggressive DJ sets. He's burnt holes in the dancefloors of Holland 's biggest raves including Masters Of Hardcore, Hardcore Gladiators and Back to School and commandeered compilations for Rotterdam Hardcore, The Nightmare Series and Masters of Hardcore. As the owner of Offensive records, he's made sure it lives up to its name with uncompromising releases like The Exorcist-sampling 'Your Mother Sucks Cocks in Hell', 'What's Wrong with My Brain' and 'Die Motherfucker'. With a new double CD out now entitled 'One Day We Kill 'Em All', expect a pulverising set of fresh material when he returns to Australia .

MC Ruffian (NL)
Paul Elstak's lyrical wingman, MC Ruffian aka Don Carlos has been commanding respect on the mic for twenty years now. He's lent his manic energy to Elstak anthems like 'Thrillseeka', 'Hardcore Taking Over' and 'Rage', as well as collaborations with Neophyte, DJ Isaac and The Headbanger. Over his career, he's mastered ceremonies at hardcore's biggest raves including Masters of Hardcore, Thunderdome and Back to School to become one of the truly revered MCs in the scene. Having played countless shows with DJ Paul, this dynamic duo combines their skills to thrill with mind-blowing synergy.

Lenny Dee (US)
Named 'the hardest' DJ by Mixmag last year, this New York native started behind the decks in 1984. A move to Europe five years later saw him focus all his energy on hardcore techno and subsequently launch Industrial Strength Records. His tough-as-nails sets have seen him tour the world several times over, playing the Berlin Love Parade, Tribal Gathering, Thunderdome and Helter Skelter parties just to name a few. His classic hit 'The Morning After' under the alias of Fallout recently appeared in the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas video game. Having teamed up with hardcore's finest including DJ Promo, DJ Radium, Neophtye, Tieum and Dano in 2005, look forward to a feast of new dancefloor artillery this December.

Dyewitness (NL)
DJ Mischa first made a name for himself as one half of seminal happy hardcore group, Dyewitness, with such immortal tracks as ‘Masterplan’, ‘Observing the Earth’, ‘What Would You Like To Hear Again’ and ‘Only If I Had One More’. Later as an established solo artist, he founded the iconic X-Trax label in the mid ‘90s and now operates the reputable Rerun label and agency. With a reputation that precedes him around the world, his storming sets fuse together an onslaught of hard styles, utilising three turntables, Final Scratch and a sampler. With a crateful of anthems and ballistic bangers, Godspeed crowds will be begging for more.

K Complex (UK)
As one of the key engineers for the Nu Energy Collective, Pete Richardson has added his Midas touch to the likes of Phil Reynolds, Kevin Energy, Spencer Freeland, Sharkey, Proteus and many more. Since then he’s earnt himself a formidable reputation as a studio dynamo with his own material released on Dynamix, Bonkerz, Nu Energy, Relentless Vinyl, Hectech and Toast. On his way to Australia for his second Godspeed experience, he’s determined to prove not only can he create some of the most soaring hard trance and freeform tracks around, he can mix them up too!

Kevin Energy (UK)
In his endless quest for innovation, Kevin Thorpe has established himself as the veritable kingpin of UK hard dance. He currently oversees four record labels – Nu Energy Records, Relentless Vinyl, Dynamix and NEC Live - which run the gamut of hard styles. Operating underneath the Nu Energy Collective umbrella, he’s dedicated himself to growing the scene and fostering a new wave of fresh producers. A pioneer of the freeform/trancecore sound, he’s forged his own path as one of the most groundbreaking players in the game, setting dancefloors alight with anthems like ‘Waves of Desire’ and ‘Take Me Up’. Having last played Godspeed Sub Zero in ’04, he returns with four labels’ worth of exclusives and his most turbo-charged DJ set to date.

Sharkey (UK)
A name synonymous with the hardcore and hard dance scenes for over a decade, DJ Sharkey aka Jon Kneath has established himself as the people’s champion. He’s collaborated with the best in the business including Marc Smith, Ham, Energy and Hixxy and ripped apart events like Helter Skelter, Slammin Vinyl and Hardcore Heaven. With DJ sets that continually tear down musical barriers he mixes up hardcore techno, hard trance, old school and everything in between. He’s just launched his fledgling label, Kaotik, and is in the thick of producing his second artist album for Resist. Ravers will rejoice in the news he’s decided to pick up the mic again so expect some serious MC mayhem when he hits the stage.

DJ AMS (UK)
As one of the brightest new stars in the hard dance stratosphere, 23-year-old Allen Smith has exploded on the scene as one of the most prolific producers for the Nu Energy Collective. Since igniting his career in 2002, this prodigy has seen his work appear on every volume of Bonkers, with no less than six cuts featured on Bonkers 13 alone. Continuing his exponential rise, Smith recently launched his own label Switched On Records. After a runaway set at Utopia last April, he can’t wait to get back to Australia to lead his own ‘hardcore revolution’ all over again.
