With the awesome success that Tidy have had up my neck of the woods in Prestatyn, I made my way down South to the even sleepier seaside resort of Camber, with great expectations. After a 2 day expedition that saw 7 hours of the 2 days on the road (thanks for driving @Dawn), a night in Andover as @Lisa and @Tony P's lodgers (thankyou both) we arrived at Pontins!!!! @Shaney_R and I jumped out so we could get in as Lisa, Tony, Dawn and the rest of the crew were yet to collect there tickets! Shane and I approached a entry area, and were surprised there was no queue, we were given the briefest of searches and let into the grounds. We then went to collect our Laminates and find Scream, who we bumped into enroute to laminate collection. He had queued almost 2 hours to check into the chalet and collect the keys. Once we got into the chalet we realised they were very similar to those in prestatyn, a little larger maybe, although the quality wasn't as good as Prestatyn. The Chalet layout was really difficult to get to grips with, as they were all crammed in together in joined quadrants, also the number sequences didn't seem to run correctly, which would have been a nightmare come 5am on either of the mornings. Luckily we were placed directly behind the queen vic! We then made our way out of the grounds to head down to a pub and grab a few beers with the crew waiting for their tickets. Eventually we all made our way in, and then had to use mobile phone navigation to find Dawn with our luggage in her car. Which was the other side of the complex. Once we'd got the luggage back we all decided to get into the tidy mood by starting to get completely star spangled. I shaved off my beard to leave my tash for the weekend Bushy ala El Greko, although I have been told I looked more like the bloke out of Dirty Sanchez. Lol As we entered the venue for the first night that was to be Tidy Summer Camp we all waited in anticipation for what was ahead. We ventured upstairs to Arena 1 Friday Night Live, we were welcomed by some wicked sounds courtesy of the Talented Champion Burns, as they toiled their way through track after track the arena got busier and busier then hotter and HOTTER!!! It soon became unbearable and we headed off downstairs to arena 2, where it was time for the Dark Destroyer Mr Glazby to take control of the decks. As we entered the sound was fairly good, but not what we've come to expect at a Tidy Weekender, Glazza was throwing out some cool techno which I'm really liking at the moment, but then..he started to mix. He mixed like he had ski gloves on, not what I've become accustomed to from the man I call, GOD! I had to leave as every mix I heard him play was out by a mile. I returned to the chalet to collect The Dawn! She was feeling ok now, and told me I was a bad man! As we walked back into the venue we just caught Glazby leaving looking less than happy. After a quick chat he informed me in between a foul four lettered tirade that there was no monitor in the arena. God was less than happy. So I popped back into arena 2, and that's where I spent the majority of my night, learning to cope with missing beats at every mix. Paul Maddox was slamming out the tunes by now, and did the best he could, due to circumstances. I stomped, I sat, as did a lot of people. One thing that struck me with Summer Camp, was the attendance. Apart from the main arena everywhere else seemed to be a lot quieter, also in my opinion all the rooms were smaller than them up in North Wales. Up next was Nick Sentience, he played a nice hard set that got the room pumping big time, especially when he dropped his remix of Hostile. As he did, Maria came flying over at me and ripped me up out of the floor and forced me to dance in a comatose state. The rest of the night has become a bit of a blur, as I stayed downstairs in arena 2, up next was BK, now from what I remember he played a rather techy set, which I recall really enjoying, but since then I have chatted to a few people about his set and they said he didn't play anything techy. So I am stumped, although i do remember a remix of Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit which was rather dirty. After BK had completed his set, up stepped Ed Real, and delivered a stomper. Halfway through Ed Reals mash up, I decided it was time to call it a night for the arenas, and make my way to the chalet.. Upon arriving at the chalet, Frazzle and Liam headed off to their chalet to get changed then make their way back to our chalet. As many of you experienced at the last Tidy Weekender, a chalet party including myself and shaney are rarely quiet affairs, and this didn't dissapoint. Frazzle and myself armed with his Scrumpy cider went to work on it, which led to allsorts of mischievous goings on. As the messiness of the Saturday morning took its toll, people filtered off to their respective chalets. Frazzle, Lisa, TonyP, Maria and myself headed to Lisa's chalet and decided to sample a bit of Psy-trance. I remember the first few tracks then nothing. Apparently we had it on 3 times! Then some more Scrumpy, and then back to my chalet to prepare for the Saturday night. Saturday night did not have the best line up in the world, hence going into the arena at Midnight. I didn't even bother going into the pressure cooker upstairs, which was arena 1. Frazzle and myself headed for the hardcore arena for a bit of Kevin Energy, and then Ham. Damn I forgot how good hardcore was. Then we headed for a bit of a chillout in the arcade, as we prepared for my first ever experience of Proteus, a finnish bloke by all accounts, in the HQ sponsored arena. As we went in as he started up his set, I was shocked by the image in front of me, a gothic lunatic, dressed in leather with black lipstick to boot. One word described this man AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! Quite easily, the set of the weekend, He was everything, everyone else wasn't. From his mixing to his tune selection, his appearance to his damn good entertainment skills. I honestly believe this bloke enjoyed himself so much that while he was dancing he forgot he was actually on the decks, as he would run from the front of the decks back round to mix. I didn't stop dancing for the whole hour. Frazzle was that bowled over by him he fell over at least 6 times during his set. I got a little scared at one point as some meathead came up to me, he had muscles on muscles, put his arm round me and said in a deep dutch accent YOU LIKE THE PROTEUS YA I thought he was rather up front, but I was like yeah.YEAH. I was a little worried. He went on his rounds doing the same to everyone, when he approached frazzle, he hid behind me! If you have not seen Proteus, you have to make the time to see this man! WOW!!! The hour just went too quickly, but once the man had finished we went for a well deserved rest, and grabbed a bottle of water to rehydrate. Once we had regrouped after the vicious onslaught of the man from Finland, we headed off into the 3rd arena again hosted by Brisk's Next Generation Records, we kicked up a storm as Ponder & Mc Elmo took us to the next level with awesome hardcore sounds. As we waited to see who the special guest was.. hmm I wonder. 4am saw the arrival of none other than Brisk, who played as per norm, an absolutely devastatingly good set, from one stomping track to the next, he had the 3rd arena rammed, and this arena definitely needs to be bigger at the next event as it was pretty busy the whole night. Finishing off with some gabba that would make you turn in your grave, he played out in style, giving a big speech at the end, and also pressing for a bigger arena!!!! Once again back to the chalets, once again not quite sure what happened was right, but It was fun. More scrumpy, more fun with the electric shock machine and air ball gun. (Crill has video footage) Then onto Sunday night. As we headed out, for the final night of summer camp, everyone was in fairly good spirits. Once again the main arena was Hot as Hell, as we avoided it for the first hour or so, as we went and listened to Colin Barratt, who played a nice uplifiting techy set to warm us up nicely for the rest of the night. Then we headed up to the main arena, caught a bit of Anne Savage who played a solid set, although the drum n bass we had heard all day had taken its toll on Frazzle and he was dancing in a DnB stylee to hard house, which was quite funny. As the night drew on, we were treated to a B2B set from Paul Glazby and Andy Farley, even though the music was just background to me by now, then also to finish off was Rob Tissera. The night got fun as everybody had the fake tash syndrome. Afterwards everyone was once again back at our chalet for the closing hours of Summer Camp. In all honesty I had more fun in the chalets than I did in the arenas, this was a bit of a disappointment. Ok it was tidy's first attempt, but the whole event seemed disorganised, rushed and thrown together. It was a new venture, but knowing Tidy, they will persevere, and get it right eventually. Thanks to everyone who played a part at the weekend for me. Also all the staff at Tidy and Pontins (Camber sands). @Bushy Flyer

WiLDCHiLD celebrates its next event with a bang. This was my first of many WiLDCHiLD events that I was to attend. The build up of excitement was getting the better of me throughout the process of waiting and waiting for this event to finally land on my lap until it's time to get my dancing shoes on and get out there and PARTY! After waiting so long, the night had finally dawned on us. This was it, Sunday, 4th May was here at last and the waiting was no more. After feeling a bit worse for wear from the night b4 of attending Matrix in Reading, I really didn't think I was capable of attending WiLDCHiLD. I was worn out, aswell as being nervous at meeting more people and still tired after having plenty of sleep, but this event was one that I could NOT turn down. I'd only kick myself if I did. And besides, it would be rude not to attend It was 6.30pm when we woke up. Not realising the time, James and I dashed about in such a hurry because there was a ClubTheWorld meet up in the pub Wetherspoons which cannot be missed! During the rush of getting ready and to be fully organised, getting the camera sorted, random texts were sent to James' phone from members of the site, even the new members that were brave enough to turn up on their own saying can't wait to meet you tonight, this is going to be a great night! This started off the buzz of our night we hadn't even left at this time and we were all ready buzzing off other people! Finally, we are sorted. It's time to hit the road! Traffic wasn't all that bad, even as we got into London. God was kind and there was no traffic. Grrreat! We are going to get to the meet up on time and everyone is going to be there. No worries about that then! We struggled to find the venue on our way in, but then, who doesn't get confused with the roads of London! We finally find a car park to which was right next door to the club. FANTASTIC! We park up, then head for Weatherspoons. On our arrival to the pub, the place was full of ClubTheWorld members, old and new. We venture in and mingle with everyone, meeting the new people and the people we have spoken to but had not yet seen in a long time. Banter was shared among us, drinks were bought, laughs were had and the atmosphere was just so friendly, it couldn't get better than this. Oh, hang on, it's going to get better than this, the night is young and its only just beginning! AV IT! We decide to end the meet up and start to make progress and move over to the club, which was just across the road. We get to the club and surprise! No queue! It was around 10.30pm and I thought there would be an almighty queue, as all the clubbers will want to be in there first, but alas, there wasn't! So, tickets at the ready, get yourself in line, we are going in! We got in, bouncers were taking our tickets, and I must admit, I did sense some attitude from these guys. But then I guess they want everyone in as soon as possible. Time to put our coats in to beat the queue then start to wander off into the various rooms WiLDCHiLD had to offer. The cloakroom queue was an almighty queue indeed but we got there in the end. Once the coats were hung, this was it. I am now going to experience my first WiLDCHiLD ! The main room was the Trance arena. I was liking this arena as soon as I stepped into the place. The sound system was out of this world. The whole night is going to be witnessed and not a beat was going to be missed. The main arena was pretty big, lots of space for dancing and lots of space for cooling off. Plenty of air conditioning so it's all-good. After looking around the main arena and I decided I was happy with it, we stayed around and talked to more people that turned up. The meet up was massive. Loads of pictures taken, lots of banter and this was going to continue throughout the whole night. This really is going to be a night I am not going to forget. It's time for us all to check out the hardhouse room, where our very own ClubTheWorld DJ @ANDY WHITBY will be performing tonight. So upstairs we went and into the hardhouse room we entered. Not a really big room, but at least big enough for all the clubbers that decided to situate themselves in the room when the top DJs performed. It was hot, but yes, that's to be expected but it was manageable, sit yourself down for 5 minutes to cool down then get yourself back up on the floor and strut that stuff. The sound system wasn't too bad, although I think it could have done with a bit more pumping bass. Either way, everyone was happy, and that is all that mattered tonight. Time to venture into the funky room where Funky House DJ @guyster was going to be sending some funky tunage through the speakers and watching all those funky clubbers strut their funky stuff. Average size room, enough space and enough seating. It's looking good. The night has now begun and everyone is getting into it. Each decided to go to the room of their choice and AV IT large. For myself, the first DJ I was planning on seeing is the King of Hardhouse Yes you know it, Paul Glazby. The ever-impressive Mr Glazby is a favourite of mine, so I couldn't wait any longer, alas, up he stepped and the ball was rolling. Everyone is cheering Glazby on and the tunes that everyone loved to hear him play, are now in force. Defective Audio Floorburn is in play and all the clubbers seem to know this tune well, and all my ears are hearing is the clubbers cheering and clapping to this tune. You have to admit though; it's one hell of a tune! I decided to sit down and catch some air as it was getting overly hot due to the amount of bodies that were filling the room, wanting to see Paul Glazby. I decided that his set was not the hardest I have heard him play, so I left my friends to it and decided to take a look at the crowd down in the main arena. After getting past all the clubbers that were sitting on the stairs and in the corridors, I finally make it to the main arena. The heat just hit me! I stumble to the bar to get a bottle of water. 2 a bottle of water and £3 a bottle of alcohol. Indeed, pretty expensive but that didn't stop people going up to the bar getting drunk! I found my mates and decided to toddle off down the front to see Signum and I stayed to see Simon Patterson and JFK. Wicked tunage, got the crowd going feel the lurve. The lighting was fantastic in here. So many people, the arena was filled with so many cybers. The atmosphere in here is great! The music is tough, building and trance edged. It's going to be a hell of a lot harder towards the end of the night when the likes of Andy Farley and BK show up n this arena. The highlight of the night was standing at the back of the Trance arena watching the hundreds of clubbers dancing to their favourite DJ. The lasers were out of this world and were sweeping across the crowds. Familiar faces decided to wander down from the hardhouse room, into the trance arena. Things were getting a lot fun by this time. The trance arena was in full flow and this arena seemed to be everyone's favourite. The dancers were fantastic, including Tara who is a ClubTheWorld member. She gave it what she got and well done! It was time to move back up to the hardhouse room to see Phil Reynolds perform. This man I have A LOT of respect for. Always seems to join the crowd on the dancefloor before and after his set. Always smiling and always got time to have a chitchat. It's all-good. He proceeded to play his set and the room, once again, filled up with more clubbers. This man seemed to be the clubbers favourite. The dance floor was filled with active clubbers, constantly on the go. Lots of pictures were taken and lots of comments were passed about his set. He was ard. Just how we like it. Back downstairs in the main arena, Cosmic Gate graced the decks. The crowd seemed to be loving the tunes Cosmic Gate let out. One tune that will be remembered of the night is Underworld. Born Slippy Another tune that goes down well with a crowd like this. The banter continued to flow and TomD and myself decided to go around the arena and take many pictures of the crowd. These pictures are the evidence of a good night. Lots of crowd shots, laser shots and people in the cyber dress. It was wicked. To my disappointment, just as I decided to head for the hardhouse room I realised that it was passed 2.00am and I had missed Guyster play his Funky House set. Although I was told by many of my friends that he played a fantastic set. And I didn't doubt that feedback for a second as I have seen him play at past events and again, Guyster is not someone who plays his funky tunes just to please the Funky crowd, he does it because he loves it. Full of energy is Guyster, and is always getting funky behind the decks and always shaking his booty to the tunes he is feeding the crowd. With that attitude you cannot go wrong. It's the way forward. Decided to have a rest and chat with people before heading back to the hardhouse room to witness ClubTheWorld DJ @ANDY WHITBY play for the crowd, and boy were we all looking forward to it. We ventured up and standing behind the decks with a record in his hand giving it some, was ANDY - all cheering him on, playing some filthy hard tunage to which we were all loving it. "Kick it" By Paul Glazby and "[censored] Hostile" by Paul Glazby I think really got the crowd going. ANDY WHITBY at such a young age seems to have potential to be the most successful DJ. Check the flyers that go round in the UK and get you're arse in gear and go see him! He is a legend. After ANDY's set, the hardhouse room was now time for closure, the night has almost ended, BK and Andy Farley were the only DJs left to play n the main arena. Feeling slightly exhausted I decided I would sit and listen, as I was too tired to get up and dance any longer. BK and Andy Farley never cease to amaze me whm I see them play. BK played Glazby's tune [censored] Hostile to which I remember a lot of the clubbers were loving the hoovers. Who doesn't? People were getting tired and just hung around until the night ended before people headed off to the WiLDCHiLD afterparty where more fun was had and banter seemed to flow in motion. We decided to beat the queue of the cloakroom and get our coats ready to set off back to a chill before heading back home. We met most people outside and chatted for some time describing how good the night was and that it was the best night that most people had. I can honestly say that WiLDCHiLD has to tbe the best event I have been to in a long time. It's all over and WiLDCHiLD has done well. In my opinion, WiLDCHiLD is the Daddy of the big events. And I know for sure that the next WiLDCHiLD event, I will be there with bells on. You would be insane if you miss out on the next one that takes place in August. BE THERE! You know it makes sense! @Maria Photos
