OK where to start. So I started clubbing around 2001 when a good friend I worked with took me to a Trance event in Milton Keynes. I met some really great people and found my love of the music. Trance came first and then Hard House. A year on I was pregnant and gave up for a while losing contact with anyone I met. Being a single mum I found it difficult to meet new people especially those with a love for the music and the bug to go out and dance. I found CTW and wrote my first post on January 25th 2003. I was looking for like minded people and new friendships but what I found was a whole lot more. There was drama, passion, friendships and even love. I met some fantastic people through this website and have stayed friends with many of them despite us all growing up and leading our normal lives. Many of us settling down, marrying and having children. I met my first real love and many of my real friendships through this website and had some fantastic times and a whole host of memories that have lasted. I met DJ's, Producers, visited cities and clubs I had never been to before, experienced weekenders and without CTW I never would have had all that, It was a place where you did not need local friends to go to a club with because we all met up before the events and went together. Everyone was so welcoming and real friendships were formed. My hope is that this place can be that once again, Maybe not for us old timers who for many cant go out as often as we would like but to give the new generation the same thing we all had. Organised meetups which were safe and welcoming, friendships so you didn't feel alone, romances and love. We were one big family There was also plenty of arguments, hatred, nastiness, heart break, etc. Some of which I had a big part of but I had real friendships and some of those friendships have lasted the past 16 years. For the parts I played and I think there was plenty I am sorry Like many I was young, naive and pretty messed up in the head at the time. At the same time I had support through some of the darkest times, No one turned their back on you and they told you if you was out of line even if you didn't want to hear it. CTW was a safe place for me and the people I met will always hold a special place in my heart. I hope all the new people who read this can get the same experience as I had because without all of the CTW family I would not be the person I am now. So I was about to name everyone but there are too many to list so to all those over the years Thank you for the memories, For kicking my butt into touch, for putting up with me and for the lasting friendships ever since. Because truly you do not know what it means to me. Now I will shut up cause I cant half talk some waffle, That certainly hasn't changed.

Oh I'd also organise a festival.....

@Phil B happy bday. Sorry it’s late bro !!!

Great to see you still type mission posts, Danni. 😉

Awesome. It’s like going back in time!!

20 years ago at least, on the left, and NYE 2019 on the right. I don't gurn as much these days, but I still act 20 years younger. 😅👌

Also one of Me and Maria.....jesus Chroist, the state of us on the left....

My 20ish year challenge....🤣🤣

Thanks for the link James - glad to find this forum

We need to make this a tribe visit for the ctw reunion

Isn’t that Ali playing in the back ground?

It's nice to be back!!

I could think of better ways to blow a grand. That would easily cover a weekender 😂

hey guys - yep @Tony P as i said its a new world haha - im enjoying just hitting a button to see how it works BUT ... it doesnt always work well - in fact often it doesnt... so now i need to learn to beat match myself on a "virtual CDJ" haha - another learning process in itself really loving it

Nice one Si I’m pretty sure you will be able to mix the traditional way on your set up. Without setting beat grids and using sync. i often find it more enjoyable to beat match rather than sync as that’s the part I enjoy. sounds like you are enjoying the process 👍

Still in her coat.....

congrats on the relaunch @James :)

Haha well scary I was proper nervous haha but I did it and the mix wasn’t too bad either 😂

This is so difficult. I've edited about 4 times in the last 20 minutes......🙈🙈🤣🤣

I know. You got involved in a couple. 🤣

😱 Morning everybody, after crazy amounts of work and excitement last night I’m pleased to report back that the alpha testing for this new feature was 100% successful. we successfully streamed a live mix audio and visual across the Internet in real time, directly onto the homepage in a player. This will open the next set of doors that we have been dreaming about for about 15 Years. Beta testing to continue today. Hopefully in a week or so we can have it up, functional and a good base to expand from. Once we are live, times, sets, features Etc will all be worked on Have a great day

Chilling at home, still going through a load of CTW backups - at least I'm not spending anything lol - pay day next week, finally ...

James/Si, Can the top toolbar with the home button be sticky? So when I scroll through on mobile the toolbar scrolls with me. It's just sometimes instead of just returning to the topic listing I might want to go home, or have a home option at the bottom of the page? Otherwise I have to either scroll up or return back through the forum sections. Thanks 👍

We’re almost there with Live streaming. Drop me a pm if you want to join the rosta of live sets on the site (weekly) We will be pulling in a lot of traffic soon for this one Vinyl, Cdj, ddj all fine. Even wooden spoons 🥄

Ah, might have crossed wires, was looking for an audio recorder for recording a mix off decks/cdjs...will check that out @Tony P Well we’ll have to see if it’s destiny 😉 Just found my old website files, all my samples and vst I’d collected, all my original wave files of my mixes, funny what you keep!

Destiny I think all this is destiny. mad but I feel really happy for the first time in years.

This name cracks me up mate, cant stop giggling 😂

Probably one of the tunes of 2019 for me... the vocal and the breakdown....Epic Return to Oz

I don't think he drinks enough 😜

And the title just reminds me of the shit we used to post daily. anyway titles true. The other half has gone on an unexpected 500 mile road trip and taken the daughter. 1000 mile round trip to north east Scotland. boys are upstairs as usual and I thought ah bliss chill by myself. Accept I’m finding myself talking to the fucking cat. so what’s people’s plans this weekend? bet some of the answers are completely Different to 15 years ago 😂 mines working and being bored. Though I’m off tomorrow. 🤫 though I’m looking forward to a big double bed all to myself tonight without mr snores a lot keeping me awake. 🤪

I can see all the progression. Good work.

PS I've only just worked out how to react to posts. And I work in IT!!!! 😖

So about 2 weeks before Xmas I’m serving in the cafe and I had to look twice so did the man I was serving. It was none other than boyracer Chris off the tidy board if anyone remembers racer. Hadn’t seen him for years. He don’t live far from me either. then clubtheworld comes back destiny trying to tell us something?

When the cat's away, the mice will play. Them's the rules! 😉

@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...

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.

Happy New Year to CTW. James, Maria, ClaireDC, Si, everyone else, I have missed you all. Good to see the board back online. Hope to maybe see some of you out somewhere??

I'd rather felch a skunk than go cyber but each to their own I suppose.
