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

After 11 years of waiting, Xfer Records has finally released Serum 2! The legendary wavetable synthesizer has been completely redesigned and expanded with numerous new features. While the original is known for its clear sound quality, intuitive operation and flexible sound design, the new version takes the concept to an even higher level with new features. And that’s really impressive after the first version! In addition to an improved oscillator architecture and expanded effects routing options, Serum 2 now offers an arpeggiator and clip sequencer that greatly enhance the creative workflow. Most importantly, the update is free for all existing Serum users – a move that impressively underscores Xfer Records’ promise of lifetime updates. Wow! ...

😂 you just need to arrange a time to come out now. 😀

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.

Track in question, still a banger

Hey everyone, used to be here a loooooong time ago (my old profile is in the post below...but i have no idea which email address it is linked to ) Any of the old members still about? I still have some fun memories of playing the CTW event in London all those years ago (can still picture James' big grin when I dropped "Devils Plaything" by Weirdo ) Anyway, randomly stumbled back here while looking for my old mixes... lost everything years ago and had wondered if any links still worked (seems to not be the case). Decks and vinyls all gone since 2007 just after I moved to Japan so that was the end of my mixing unfortunately.

Tell me about it. I didn’t think I would enjoy clubbing anymore but when I went to passion that all changed. Absolutely loving it. Feels weird being the sober one who drives mostly but occasionally get hotels so I can have a drink. I still hardly leave the dance floor 😂 is anyone else going with you or just you?

Harmonic mixing is a DJ technique that ensures smooth transitions by matching tracks based on their musical keys. It’s especially important in trance music, where melodies and emotional flow are key. Here’s what you need to know: Why Harmonic Mixing Matters: It keeps transitions smooth, avoids clashing melodies, and maintains the energy of your set. Tools to Use: The Camelot Wheel helps identify compatible keys (e.g., 8B pairs with 7B, 9B). Software like Mixed In Key automates key detection and energy analysis. Basic Techniques: Use EQ to balance frequencies during transitions, manage melodies to avoid clashes, and adjust pitch within 4% to preserve sound quality. Advanced Tips: Use mid/side EQ for track layering, set cue points for clean transitions, and organize your library by key and energy levels for live performances. View the full article

Have to agree with James and all of the above. I think the thing with CTW is that the majority of the people who come onto this bourd are die hards. Look at the reg dates, 98% are fairly old. Other sites rely on new members coming through all the time and replacing the old ones that move on elsewhere. Peoples lifestyles and tastes change. I still love dance music and the dance music scene but i'm not into clubbing anymore. As it states on my sig "retired from clubbing". It just doesn't excite me anymore. I still love coming on this site and a few of the other ones. CTW was my first clubbing forum site, and my first forum site for that matter. Sarah intorduced me to it and i was hooked instantly.

All the members that kept CTW goin for the last good while have either moved on, don't have time or both. Agreed, I miss the old CTW. But I dont have the time to put the effort back in so cant really complain.

Which board member . . . Is your favourite? Is your least favourite? Do you think contributes most to the board? Contributes the least to the board? Would you like to got on a date with? Would you like to have a mud wrestle with? Would you most like to take on holiday? Would you most like to get twatted with? Would you most like to fuck?

Finally got round to doing another mix, similar style to last time with it being the kinda fullon psy and hardtrance hybrid combo tunage Tracklisting is.... Chris Hutchinson 'Infiltration' Void - Hysterical Eskimo - Show Me The Money Cosmochaos - Danceroid Joti Sidhu - Punktuator Talamasca & Ananda - Kung-Fu Lesson Skazi - Acelera Gataka - All About Trust Tryambaka - Odissey Sesto Sento - Reflection Astrix - On Fire 1200 Micrograms - Mescaline Tikal - Smoky Land Eskimo - Let It All Out Captain Chuggnuts - Rotten Sod Rod Daniel Ro - Subterrain Graeme S - Smack My Pitch Up The hardtrance at the end was because I was aiming to make it a 2cd mix and build into hardcore via hardtrance... kinda didnt happen in the end though DOWNLOAD HERE This is currently a direct link to an FTP server so if your unable to download straight away, it may be due to max number of users reached so give it a short while and try later... if anyone is able to offer alternative hosting, please let me know 🙂 Hope y'all enjoy the mix Chris

QUOTE (colin66 @ Jun 23 2004, 00:45) Bruce Lee? What style of music does he play? Round-house....?

If you have lots of spare cash, and you feel like you're at a dead-end producing-wise, then by all means blow it on a course. But if you're gonna spend that kind of money, you could get a load of nice music gear instead, and spend 6 months getting to know it...

It depends where u want to live really as to what courses there are.. if ur being pushed into doin a course then u may wana let ur parents know that if its dance music production then generally you have to pay for them and they're not cheap. There's a place in Guildford i know of, i forget its name but i was looking into that and another in Manchester www.s-s-r.com as for the one in Guildford i think @leeharris and @Chris Hawkes are at it so u could ask them!! I decided to learn myself tho by messing around, asking people i knew who are competent in it, joining forums for production www.serious-sounds.net www.generoproject.com and www.samplecity.net (although i don't go on here because its gotten a bad reputation for its webmaster bein abit of a dick and havin loadsa strict rules but im passing the link on for u to decide for urself) Try a google search for other tutorials online and seek out magazines like Computer Music, Future Music etc these also have websites that may have some useful info for u!! Also try to find a sequencer that you are comfortable with and stick with it.. know it inside out rather than knowing a lil bit about a few sequencers and ending up a jack of all trades but a master of none.

If you are coming then please add your name to this post and it will be added to the main page. Event: ClubTheWorld Ireland Weekender Date: Friday 7th November - Sunday 9th November Details The plan for the weekend is to visit as many places as possible. On the Friday afternoon / evening will be spent checking into accommodation and settle you all in. We'll then go out for drinks in Ballymena Town or Belfast (Plenty of bars, small clubs, etc). On Saturday afternoon we can maybe go shopping in Belfast city centre for a few hours. Then come back to Ballymena and all go out for a meal and a few drinks, then proceed to whatever club is chosen. Sunday would be chilling out in the local pub having a few drinks before everyone heads home. MEET-UP INFORMATION Friday (Night) Meet-up Venue: The Grouse Pub, corner of Ballymoney Street / Springwell Street Time: 7pm Clubs: Will be decided on the night Saturday Meet-Up Venue: The Nobel Cafe, Church Street Time: 12 Midday Saturday (Night) Meet-up Venue: The Spinning Mill Pub, Broughshane Street Time: 6.30pm Clubs: To be decided on the night Sunday Meet-Up Venue: The Spinning Mill Pub, Broughshane Street Time: 2pm Club Suggestions: From Liam Styles LUSH! in Portrush is N.Irelands most popular club. An outstanding venue, with a great crowd and excellent, varied line ups. I visit this club regularly and love it so much. Guest DJs that have played in the last month or two include: Erick Morillo, Mauro Picotto, Judge Jules, King Unique, Futureshock, Dave Seaman, Guy Ornadel and Darren Emerson. Check www.kellys-portrush.com for more info, pics and line ups. SHINE is situated in Belfast and is held in the Queens University Student Union. It is N.Irelands best techno night and has a massive following. The venue isnt the best, but it is massive with 3 good sized rooms all playin different styles on rotation. Main room is usually techno, 2nd room a bit housier and the 3rd drum n bass or hip hop. Personally this is my favourite club as they always bring new DJs over aswell as the techno elite. Regular guests include: Riche Hawtin, Adam Beyer, Marco Bailey, DJ Rush, Cristian Smith, Jon Carter, Lottie, Fabio, Grooverider, Tim Westwood. Check www.shine.net for more info, listings, pics etc. THE MET in Armagh, a more straight up trance / hard trance night in a massive venue with awesome light displays and soundsystem. The venue is split into 3 tiers but all in one arena. Again THE MET has an unbelievable crowd, always packed and always friendly. New up and coming DJs from this country sit aside some of the worlds top DJs, the resident DJ is also very good. Recent Guest DJs: Lisa Lashes, JFK, Scot Project, Petrae Foy, Signum, Fergie (who is a monthly resident). Godskitchen also hold official nights at this venue. www.metarena.com THE COACH is in Banbridge, and is a mainly Hard trance / hard house club. Not beeen to it many times but the few times i have been i have had a good night. A few pikeys attend though. Usual DJs such as: Judge Jules, Scot Bond, Jon Kelly, Scot Project, Lisa Lashes. www.coachniteclub.com ENIGMA is a ver new club and is actually just past the border into Southern Ireland. I havent been as yet, but have heard really good things about it. Capacity is around 4,000. Its a brand spanking new club, with wicked light show, awesome soundsystem and fresh DJs. Guests so far have included: The Tidy Boys, Disco Bros, Paul Glazby, Phil Reynoylds, Spencer Freeland, Nick Raferty, Mark Kavanah, Jay Pigeon, A*, Scot Project. THE NETWORK is N.Irelands most established after hours. Its very dingy but thats what makes it so good. Line up is never known, but usually its a visiting DJ who has been playin one of the other clubs in the country that night. (probs from THE MET or THE COACH) expect the likes of Fergie, Lisa Lashes, Dave Pearce, Eddie Halliwell. HOW TO GET THERE By Air: Good flight prices can be found by checking www.easyjet.com for flight details (most English airports) or www.mytravelite.com (Birmingham). These are the two main lowcost airlines that fly into Belfast. When booking please insure that you book "Belfast International Airport" as your destination as there is a "Belfast City Airport" also. Obviously the earlier you book the cheaper the flight, so it would be advisable to book in advance. By Car: You can travel by car to Belfast by Ferry. A whole list of Ferry crossing and a variety of companies that provide services over to Belfast can be found here. By Coach: Coaches are available at very reasonable prices from most major places in the UK. Coach journeys include the Ferry across to Belfast Terminal. More information can be found at www.nationalexpress.co.uk. Advanced bookings (30 days) do work out cheape. OTHER INFORMATION Website: www.ClubTheWorld.com Accommodation: There is one main hotel in Ballymena, it is reasonably priced but also very nice. Its a very central location and in the centre of town. Prices are as follows (price is correct at time of this page going up - 14th August 2003) Double / twin room: £50 per night Single room: £35 per night You can also check their website www.adairarms.com for more information. Alternatively, Ballymena has lots of B&B's. LiamStyles has kindly visited a number of them over the last week and all seem to be of a high standard. The majority of them are all located near each other and close to the town. Most of them are quite small so all attendees may not be able to stay in the same B&B. As they are usually small, family run business websites are not available. But if you require more information please call LiamStyles on 07745358810. All these B&Bs have quoted a price of around £15 per person per night which is very reasonable. If you would like to join us for this weekender then please add your name to the dedicated post on the foums here.

James, I think you have made some fair comments. I havnt been on as much as i used to, but i logged on the other day and there was one post in particular that really annoyed me. There was a competition in which you offerd free lyear vip passes to the person to come up with the best name for the new ctw night. after about 10-12 posts, there was a notice saying it had already been decided!!! Why bother asking?! This is exactly the sort of thing which annoys people. As you know, a similar thing happend with ibiza (i dont want to go over old ground here) and yes i understand all the reasons why, but it was somthing i didnt agree with. I think what im trying to say is that the site needs to be carful how they word things like this in future. just felt like i had to mention it thats all x

I've heard a few people comment now that they feel this site is different to others or special in some way so am interested to know why??

Everyone on this board seems to be after the same thing, meeting new people and having a good time, and that's wot clubbing is about! I consider everyone I've met from CTW my friends and that makes it special. Even u Creamy!

Seriously, I think the Smut Forum is a great idea. Nice to have a site that is aimed at adults (doesn't censor swear-words in posts, etc...) There's a place for serious talk (some of the debates & chats are very thought-provoking), and a place for light-heartedness (smut/joke forums etc). The best thing is that you encourage "newbies" to meet up with you. What James said is very inspiring - it's nice to know there are other people like me who are actively looking to make more friends. So many people are just happy to hang out with the same people all the time. I moved to London a couple of years ago after graduating, and it's only over the last few months (after splitting up from a long-term g/f, basically) that I realised, I don't actually have many friends down here. To top it off I was made redundant and all my mates from work moved away to new jobs. But, I love the clubbing scene and I don't want to leave London ... it's just frustrating I hardly have any mates to go clubbing with! 😢 What is worse than Friday night yearning to party and socialise and dance ... and you're on your tod at home!! I'm quite a confident person but going out on your own is still daunting ... even though some clubs are very friendly and you can meet really nice people in there. Every now and then I take some contact details for some cool people I've met in clubs, with every intention of meeting up again some time, but this hasn't happened much in London. It seems kinda sad, especially after two years, and ironically in a city with so many people! It's been quite depressing actually, but I've realised, the reason I don't have many friends isn't because there's something wrong with me, it's just because of circumstances. I used to have a huge circle of friends at university and I'm still the same person now! If you're into keeping fit then you join a gym and meet people through that. If you like choral music then you join a choir. So I used to think, damnit, why can't I join a clubbing society and meet people who are also mad about music and going out? They had one at uni, so why can't they have one in London? So all in all, this site is a great idea. Very professional and well thought-out too. My advice is: keep being nice to newbies and keep organising social events! One other thing, after my first meet-up last night, it's great that not everyone seems to have the "hardcore caner" mentality. You know, when you chat to randoms in clubs and all they seem to talk about is how many nights they've larged it on the trot / how many different substances they've taken / blah blah. Not really what clubbing's about if you ask me. Not that there's anything wrong with utterly caning it from time to time!! That was the only thing I was apprehensive about, and that I would be out of place as a more "casual" clubber. Not so, I'm pleased to say! Right, er, end of ramble, sorry!! /images/graemlins/flash.gif

All of the above, and CTW just has that Karma, its just the best, wonderful people the friendships you all have from the meet ups i feel i know most of you already, who you are and what you feel and think about stuff, the welcome, acceptance ,and inclusion into CTW .. the moderators, their passion and commitment and friendliness.... its soooo friendly .. full of lurve
