My new studio ........ Scuse the pink bin haha

No contest - this track holds the most amazing memories for me 😀😮🤪

2 of my favourites from my old hardcore days... Fave trance Hard House Faves Old Techno Current Techno Faves (prone to change)

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.

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

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

Loving it so far but only had a quick browse on phone while I get ready for goodgreef. ❤️

So as I’m back in the clubbing scene and pretty much doing them straight headed I’m getting a better insight into the DJs and sets. Im Appreciating the music, dancing like I’m in my 20s again (legs hurt a lot more after these days and I have to wear ear plugs for events due to my job 😂) is there a place you would like reviews and I could start writing some? got a lot of events planned starting with convergence this weekend (Insomniacz vs Rebooted), Goodgreef reunion in March, Tidy Weekender in April and the Gathering Festival in June. I was at back2bounce Saturday but I’ve also done Insomniacz, Passion x2, Trance Coda, Love Zoo (weirdest event and venue ever), our house warehouse Leeds and the triangle in Derby (new event) mainly seeing Lisa Pin up as she’s at every event we go to and an absolute kind soul and amazing person let me know if you would like me to write some reviews. I’m not big on getting many pics these days more videos of sets when I’m not dancing. and if anyone fancy’s any of the events let me know your welcome to join us or suggest somewhere else. much love to all.

Thanks for the link James - glad to find this forum

Below is the original ClubTheWorld welcome message / mission statement from November 2001, it was simply these words which pulled in the very first members (Kev, Tara, Sarah, Si ...) who found this statement touched a nerve as they fell into exactly the same category as me. They wanted to find new, real, clubbing mates - not just acquaintances, people they could meet up with week after week for a guaranteed awesome night out whenever they chose to. Knowing they didn't have to share any personal details - they just needed to remember the web site name, they could then chat, view photos and arrange the next event safely. Welcome Dedicated Clubbers ! Run out of reliable clubbing mates ? Bored of visiting the same old local bar/club ? Mates always letting you down at the last minute ? Can't find friends into the same music genres as you ? Find you just have to go out clubbing every weekend ? If you fall into any of these categories then you've come to the right place! These are exactly the reasons this site exists!!! And here is the original Homepage from back then 2001.ClubTheWorld.uk Note: back in 2001 we didn't have any Smartphones!, we had to sit down at a desktop (or a laptop if you were lucky) ... ... to be continued ...

Hey all. fresh today Enjoy

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

Hey guys. Here’s 20 years worth of belters !!! Went live yesterday on twitch and recorded to soundcloud.

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 👍

right? 2002! fml - 18 years ago... alasdair

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......🙈🙈🤣🤣

😱 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

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 🥄

If it’s a simple wave editor to record through then check out https://www.ocenaudio.com/en/whatis it’s free and a great little wave editor ive been using it for a few years now 👍 Audacity is good too..... and it’s also free

It’s not the same version Si, it’s a special tablet version. Stripped down. there is a tablet version of cubase I think (Also stripped down) and obviously GarageBand where the files can open in logic. if you want to do it seriously you’re best working on a pc or Mac 👍

Awesome - many thanks @Dani Babyboo !

All done Enjoy They don't have there heads chopped off on here either

I’m still buying vinyl now. Not really club music but more soul from the 70’s. It’s nice just to play vinyl. The crackles and pops add to the experience

The thing is with vinyl it’s only worth what someone will pay, what cost a fortune years ago can end up being worthless in later years. As people grow up and music changes so does the value as the demand drops. I went out one week in the mid 90s with my tune money for the week and came back with 2 12”, Young MC - Know How was £37 and King B - Back By Dope Demand at £26, pure classics back then! Yes, the Crazy Malamute tune is a belter, I have it somewhere, a great time in trance music 👍🏻

Just seen you updated list James 👍 a nice collection you have there. I spent most of yesterday putting my studio gear back together now the room is decorated. Still need to paint my DJ desk but it’s almost there now.

That’s going to be really handy for some people !!

If it starts early enough I can come for one. Also use C2c so bank good for me.

❤️ what can I say. CTW was a big part of my life. I don’t think I would be the person I am today without it. I made some fantastic friendships you especially have always been there for me always told me how it is and been brutally honest with me.

That's what I mean 😃

Nice one i’ll check it out

Hi all, Would anyone Please do me a favour and listen to this track I’m making and give me some feedback. Good, bad, tips etc? Its trance btw thanks Tony https://youtu.be/bUmdL2FOLCk

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

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

Fuck you

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?

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??

Hahaha levels. I remember that too. 😂

Now then... Hope you're all doing good! I don't think I was active on here much back in the day but I've just had a look at some of my old posts and had a trip down memory lane! Great to see CTW back and I'll definitely be checking in from now on! 😄
