The music style was originally mainly Techno and House oriented. At the end of the 1990s, Gatecrasher was instrumental in the rise of trance music. The superclub developed a cult following (Crasher Kids) who in turn developed their own style of fashion, identifiable by very fluorescent clothes, dummies and spiky hair.

In 2003, the company completely refitted The Republic, renaming it Gatecrasher 1, as it is supposedly the first of 10 new Gatecrasher venues around the UK. At the same time the actual club night was renamed 'Crasher' as it was often abbreviated to by its fans, before the refit. By late 2003, the event had reduced in frequency again to just bank holidays.


Gatecrasher has held several succesful large events including Summer Sound System (40000 Capacity), Gatecrasher NEC (15000 Capacity), Crasher N/Ice (at the Nottingham Ice Arena) (7500 Capacity) and Fort Dance in Russia (40000 Capacity). The promoters have also run a massively popular Gatecrasher night at Amnesia in Ibiza.


The Gatecrasher brand is well known throughout the dance music scene, mainly due to a large number of compilation CDs released under the brand name.


Gatecrasher now runs events all over the world.
