There are few names that loom over hardtrance like DJ Scot Project. He is to hardtrance what Depeche Mode is to synthpop—the guy who really made the genre his, to some degree. Alias of German producer/artist Frenk Zenker, he did do a lot of his own work, but in many respects, what he's best known as is as a remixer who took all kinds of songs, applied his trademarked formula of build-up, break, build back up, bigger break, soaring synths, massive riffs and then slow fade out, etc to them. Many of the songs he remixed are songs that he made into hits personally.
Nightclub themselves are another alias for the same two guys who make up Yakooza, which includes Misar/Kernkraft and DJ Wag, basically. They were certainly no strangers to successful hardtrance themselves (especially DJ Wag who has a very prolific career as both a musician and a remixer himself).
Curiously, since yesterday's song sampled a Josh Wink House/Techno song, this one is kind of a remake of a different one. (Maybe I should look into Josh Wink a little more. But I honestly am not a huge fan of the late 90s British electronic music scene with the exception of some of the acid stuff here and there.)
