hello from the depths of time

ps, since i was roundly (and perhaps, rightly) lambasted here for being an early adopter of pushing my personal identity politics onto the rest of the world, i thought [those of] you [who remain] should know i "detransitioned" around 2015/16, met someone, and now have a seven year old boy. and i'm sorry for forcing the chaos of my life at that time on everyone here.

Wow. Now there's a plot twist I never thought I would read.

I still think about you quite regularly, firstly because I still have your Dream Of The Earth mix on my phone and secondly because now I live in Manchester I have mutual connections with the very small scale DJ and producer Moodymanc, and every time I see his name on a line up I recall you arguing he was guilty of "blackface" for making a Mancunian pun out of Moodymann's moniker. I've always wanted to meet him and tell him that story, but after reading your post I might shelve that idea.

Anyway, we're all older and a little more mellow now, and it's good to hear you're in a better place.

Whoa! Prob feels good to address it, although I personally don't think it requires an apology. You're just a human trying to human lol. Good to hear it sounds like you're doing well.


I, too, have a (soon to be) seven year old. Another whoa, lololol.

I found the blackface thread. Vintage TA, this: https://tranceaddict.com/forums/sho...=1&pagenumber=1

It's funny how technology can affect our music listening habits.

I've been listening a lot more to ambient and chill-out music since I found out you can have have two apps playing sound simultaneously on an android phone. I've always listened to the news in bed, but the internet connection at the farm has been rather limited these days, so it takes a long time between podcasts and the occasional jingle would actually wake me up instead of helping me to relax. I decided to let Spotify do its thing and it does the trick while also helping to drown out any unwelcome noises from outside.

On a positive note, it also has the effect of making the chaos and impending doom sound much more soothing. 5/5, highly recommend.

Hello there!

And yeah, I second what Jenny said, no need to apologise. Looking back, I wish I'd done things differently myself - but doesn't that mean we've all improved over time? All in all, I'm pleased to hear you're doing well

Hey man! How are you doing!? I was student in US back then.. returned home to India in 2008. Settled back in my own country. Marriage, job. Regular mundane life happened. Now middle aged

What's up with you ?

Visited the site after more than 3 years. TA brought back old memories... Dark Angel and what not ! It's just amazing this forum is still around. Folks like me who have moved on... still keep coming back. Ever so once to see what's happening...to read the names which were so much more familiar virtually 2 decades ago.

The name has it all. Addicts for life I guess !!!

We are

I kind of like it, but you know what's going to sting? When we come back in, say, 50 years time, and some of us won't be around not because of some terrible tragedy or anything of the sort, but simply because we'll have lived a fruitful happy life and the natural expiry date will have knocked some of us out.

The one last person standing will be like the old lady from Titanic trying to locate where we first placed that mp3 file with a TranceAddict tag we downloaded so Swamper could lure us here

Mundane life sounds pretty good

As a matter of fact, I can't say anything spectacularly wild myself. Except for a year in South Korea for post-doctoral studies, and the fact that I'm much hairier now than I used to be, I still live in the same neighbourhood I used to live in 2008, my then girlfriend is now my wife, and my alma mater became my workplace... and that's pretty much it

Good to hear you're okay!

True, it's why I keep coming back in waves myself, really
