As we've all grown up and been away for so long, what does everyone do in their spare time these days? I enjoy cooking and cycling (not done much this last year) but, plan on getting back on the bike this year. Over the last 5/6 years I have been on numerous cycling trips to Mallorca and the French Alps. Also done a few charity rides, one of which was Ride London 100. Which I completed the 100 mile circuit in 4h 46mins. My cooking will take off again once Maria and I move into our new house hopefully over the next month 🤞🤞

@Si definitely keeping yourself busy 🤣 with all that and having a family, hats off to you. And still manage to squeeze in a quick catch up call with me hahaha. as for me, I don’t have kids but I have 2 very demanding dogs!! (One is staring at me right now). They keep me fit and healthy though and I have an excuse to get outside. Other than that - it’s all about the creative side. Making music and photography! I’ve been producing for about 15 years now, converted the garage not long back so I’m lucky to have my own studio space which is my ‘woman cave’ 🤣 I got my first DSLR camera a couple of years ago and that also gets me out and about. Clubbing photography is something I might delve into...

Hahaha, still getting my head around this being back. 😂

😂 What a lovely welcome home! Cheers for getting me back in Si.

Thank you. Means a lot considering I led a shit life back then but built myself up from the bottom and I’m actually proud of myself now. Especially reading some old posts. God I was a mess at times and apologise for sometimes coming across as a complete tool back then. 🤭😂

Fuck you

Here’s mine. Hard to find old clubbing ones. sorry Si I don’t have many others now lost most on my old laptop years ago when I was burgled. Hope you don’t mind I salvaged these off other people.

I can’t remember wearing a flowered hat ever. 😂 not sure the youth of today know about forums but il tell his dad as he works in the store my cafe is located in.

Damn, I just took my TW4 wristband off ! Is that a record?

The legendary Tidy Weekender returns to celebrate the 25th birthday of the world’s biggest Hard House music brand. Featuring the very best DJs, entertainment and music across 2 days and 2 nights at the spiritual home of Tidy, Pontins Holiday Camp in Prestatyn, this is the ultimate summer holiday for the Harder Generation! Tickets: Tidy 25

5th & 6th June 2020 Boston Manor Park Junction 2 Festival Full Line up Maria and myself will be attending, great opportunity for a mass meet up maybe???? This is a 2 day event, but you can choose to only purchase one day if you so choose. From their site: Following the success of Junction 2 in 2019, the festival will return to Boston Manor Park in 2020 for another extended showcase of the best in underground dance music. Once again, Junction 2 will be a celebration of diverse, cutting-edge electronic music on a site that merges London’s urban reality with the natural beauty of the countryside. For the 2020 edition, Junction 2 takes place on the 5th and 6th June, when house and techno’s most renowned selectors will once more fill the park’s mix of bucolic summer fields and stark industrial structures with music delivered to obsessively high standards. Expect more deep-diving sets from iconic artists, more exciting debuts from emerging talents and more of the acclaimed back-to-back pairings that produce moments of J2 magic. Along with the new music, there will be several site innovations that further enhance the festival, including the addition of a 6th stage and a reconceptualised area featuring a new structure. These changes will take place without expanding the festival to unmanageable numbers that compromise its integrity. 2020 will be a year of continuing to push things forward, but ticket numbers will remain limited so guests can expect the same high standards of organisation that have resulted in the event becoming recognised for its ability to create a comfortable, intimate experience for fans. Line up as follows, I will add as more acts are announced. Friday 5th Jon Hopkins [live] Four Tet Hessle Audio Honey Dijon Avalon Emerson Fatima Yamaha [live] Joy Orbison Nina Kraviz Octo Octa Roza Terenzi Saoirse Skee Mask Tasha TASKER Zenker Brothers Saturday 6th Adam Beyer Amelie Lens Ben Klock Dax J Avalon Emerson Anastasia Kristensen ANNA Dixon Dr. Rubinstein Francesco Del Garda Kobosil Maceo Plex Marcel Dettmann Margaret Dygas Roi Perez Calendar Event

We're all a lottle older, and probably not much wiser... but have your musical tastes changed at all? I still love hard house (but more the classic stuff) and trance, have always loved house (including funky house, of course ha) but now adoring proggy psy trance, plus techno too (although I used to go to hard techno raves with a mate back in the day) so I guess I've not strayed too far from my loves. I haven't been clubbing in about 18 months or more as I've been in and out of hospital as my body is attacking itself, but I still have a sesh, and I plan to get back into clubs again sooner rather than later. Had a phase of not going out for years with my ex, then split up and went on a 2 and a half year or more bender, doing all weekend, every weekend with multiple clubs and seshes, no sleep... sometimes starting in the week, and sometimes ending after a week. 😂 Good way to spend the thousands I'd saved for a wedding that was never actually going to happen. 😂

Well after almost 2 decades, waking up to people I have known almost half my life is amazing and crazy. Proper friends. Not these smelly twats who come and go !!! Real oldschool messy barstarddds like me 🤣🤣🤣 big love to you all ! #ctw

Still wanking tbf. 💁🏼‍♀️ Also holidays to hospital. Living the dream. 😂

Still listen to trance and hard dance every now and then. Have been a lot recently saying that. However, I've always listened to rock and metal, and listen to that a lot more now. Spotify playlist for me last year was metal with Disney songs thrown in thanks to my daughter.

Great thanks mate. We were all ill over xmas, but finally starting to feel normal again. Just in time for work tomorrow...woo!

As you know Simon, I’ve done the full cycle. Moved into DJ’ing around 11 years ago. Enjoyed playing out including the Ministry and Boat Parties. Stopped mixing around four years ago, sold my pioneer mixer / CDJ’s and bought an electronic piano. Now loving playing freestyle and old house classics on the piano. I’m a business development director with staff - who’d have known. Happily married to my wife Sam, who’s been my best friend and partner for 21 years! We have two wonderful dogs and have recently bought a posh caravan! DONE!

Alright Bushy, yes it’s been a very long time! I’m good thanks, nicely settled into a mid-life crisis...but it’s a whole heap of fun 😉😂 All good with you?

Evening! Well, this is the last place I thought I’d be! I was only looking through all the photos a few weeks ago as I moved laptops.... strange! Good to see some familiar names, I hope you’re all well 👍🏻

I game semi professionally streaming on Xbox, just for fun no money - taking a break off that right now to focus on 1 of the kids I train 5-6 times a week at the gym and also a PT (again just got the qualification for fun as into human body science) I work for myself in the property industry / sadly not for fun. Income lol i help administrate the best bloody site in the world (this one, @James love) I have the tunes back out and looking for decks etc to kickstart that again. And shortly I’m gonna ask @Sarah Cwhere to get a bazillion good tune samples from so I can hit the Mac) I am in the process of restoring everything I did in 2002 as I was happy then !! That’s y I opened the fb thread and here we are

Hello my old mate. It's good to be back!

Cheers mate Thanks for taking the time. I’ve got another one which is almost done. Once it’s finished I’ll upload it and let you know. I’m decorating the house at the moment so I’ve disassembled the studio, which is a pain.

I bet. I still have some pics in his baby book of you and him at Brandon’s party. He was in a high chair He must have been just over a year old. He’s definitely grown up. College, job at McDonald’s which pay him a reasonable wage and learning to drive. Plans to go to uni to become a drama teacher. He supports kids with disabilities by singing with them in the choir and supporting them.

This will make you feel really old. Shay at his prom and just recently.

I still love and listen to the older stuff but not really listened to anything modern in the trance and hardhouse genre. I love my rock but I’m really into Bagrock or a certain band called the red hot chilli pipers. Rock music and bagpipes 😂🤭 first heard them at the Inverness Hogmanay 6 years ago and seen them twice in Birmingham, front row november just gone. have to like pop as that’s what the daughter sings 😂

Hahaha 'ra ra ra' fuck me, what a gimp I was. 😂 And my old name was Claire Messy, or Messy Claire? 😂

Now, I'm not saying the years have been bad to me, but I feel I have gained a lot of experience and knowledge.

Ok so last you lot heard from me I was just moving/ moved, pregnant with my little girl after 3 boys. My 2 eldest were not living with me due to a rubbish past but I had my son shay. I had to leave my job as supervisor of subway and hated not working. roll on 13 years I moved again to Rugby my eldest son Michael now 21 lives with his girlfriend my second eldest Brandon came back home 5 years ago he’s 20 now. SIA licensed but still looking for a job. shay is 17 doing his 2nd year I college as a performing arts student and doing well. keira is 12 and a little diva. She was diagnosed with autism at 9 which answered why she was late to speak, never slept and had tantrums. She sings with a choir for ppl with hidden disabilities and as a solo artist and also loves comic cons and cosplays at them. both shay and Keira are in a pantomime local which will be shown in March this year. Shay is the lead male second time he’s had a lead role in a panto. me I’m chaperone to the choir and panto. I did work in Sainsbury’s, then a pub for 5 years. I moved on to be a supervisor at a cafe in July and I’m now formally assistant manager but actually running the cafe as the manager is a cluster manager to 3 units so I manage the team and the daily running including all the office work. 😂 I did start training to be a SEN teaching assistant but because of Keira’s needs I had to leave it for now and my fiancé is currently studying to be an accountant. my only live music events are once a year at a bagrock band called the red hot chilli pipers who I love. Strange but they are so good. unless I take Keira to any concerts or when they perform all over the midlands and Derby. I got into mountain biking a few years back I currently have 2 bikes my Liv Giant tempt 2 which I use for downhill tracks and mountains in Scotland and my Amiti E plus which is my electric commuting bike as I’m so lazy especially in the rain. Currently doing my driving lessons so I can be warm in a car. not much else to say about me really my kids seem to take over my life with performances and rehearsals. 😂

So polite back then. My god, how you fucking changed.

That’s why there’s a place for ctw
