🎉 What's New on ClubTheWorld

We've just launched a brand new DJs section - a dedicated place to browse every DJ we track across our past and upcoming event calendars.

👉 Check it out: https://clubtheworld.uk/djs/

Enjoy - as always, shout if you spot anything broken! 🙌

✨ What's new:

🔎 Full DJ Directory - Browse every tracked DJ, sorted A–Z, complete with upcoming gig counts and total appearances. Use the instant search to jump straight to your favourite DJ.

👤 Dedicated DJ Profile Pages - Every DJ now has their own page (e.g. djs/andy-farley), featuring:

• 📝 A short bio and social media links, where the DJ has one on file

• 🎵 An embedded Spotify playlist, allowing you to listen to the DJ's music or latest mixes without leaving the page

• 🎟️ Upcoming gigs, listed soonest first, with direct ticket links

• 🏷️ Genre and town tags — click through to discover more events in the same genre or location

• 📈 A running total of past gigs we've tracked

• 📅 One-click access to view all of their events in the What's On calendar

• 🔗 A Share button to send the profile to friends

✨ Update: We've shipped several improvements to the DJs section since launch:

• View Options - Three ways to browse now: Cards (our signature grid with DJ avatars), Compact (the fast A–Z list for scrolling), and Preview (list with small avatars). Your choice is remembered when you come back. Same three options on each DJ's upcoming and past gigs.

• Faster Profile Scans - We've shuffled the profile layout so upcoming and past gigs sit right under the hero instead of buried below optional sections like gallery/discography/mixes. The reason most people land on a profile - "when's the next gig?" - is now front and centre, with a quick jump nav if there's a lot of content below.

• Social Links - We discovered social / Spotify / SoundCloud links for DJs and added them to their profiles. If your favourite DJ is missing a link and you know the right URL, drop us a line - we can add it in seconds.

All live now. 🙌

✨ Another update: More DJ profile goodies, here's what's new:

• Labels & Promotions - DJ profiles can now show the record labels and club nights/promotions a DJ is associated with (e.g. Andy Farley → Tidy Trax, Nukleuz), right under the hero. Each one links through to its own tag page on the site where we've got one.

• Forum Topics, right on the profile - Every DJ's page now lists the latest forum topics they're tagged in, styled the same as their gig cards, with a link through to see the rest. No more digging through the tag archive to find the community chat about your favourite DJ.

• A tidier header - Simplified the profile header - dropped the separate "Topics"/"Events" buttons since that content now lives directly on the page, and renamed "All Content" to "All Tagged Content" for clarity.

• Featured gigs stand out - A DJ's featured upcoming gigs now get the same animated ring border as our featured events on What's On, so the big ones catch your eye.

• Improved social media links – We've refreshed and expanded the social links section, making it easier than ever to find DJs across their favourite platforms.

  • Profiles can now include: Spotify, Instagram, Facebook, X, YouTube, TikTok, SoundCloud, Linktree

  • Example: https://clubtheworld.uk/djs/vicky-devine/

All live now. 🙌

✨ Another DJ pages update - here's what's new:

• Tickets, one tap away - every gig card on a DJ's profile now has a dedicated "🎟️ Tickets" button alongside "View event", linking straight through to the ticket page instead of making you click into the event first.

• More accurate "Plays in" chips - some profiles were under-counting the towns a DJ has actually played, because the chip list only looked at manually-tagged towns. It now also picks up towns from geocoded event data, so the list better reflects reality.

• ~19 more DJs added to the directory - all previously missing from the tracked list despite being billed on real events.
  
  All live now. 🙌
