History
Twilight FM was set up in 1993 by a DJ who called himself only "Chris H". He originally operated the station from a shed in the back of his parents garden. In the early days the station would play mostly Pop music, although it even had its own show.
Eventually, the demand for dance music was too great to ignore and Twilight FM became the only station in Hull to play dance music.
After a fall out over music policy DJs Sumo and Chris H went their separate ways. Chris continued to run Twilight FM with a more underground dance feel, whilst Sumo went to form "Buzz FM" which broadcast more commercial dance on 106.6 FM.
After both stations were raided and closed down by the DTI, and a third pirate emerged called "Sweet FM", the pair made up, and Twilight FM continued.
After the regional dance station Kiss 105 started, Twilight FM found it hard to compete and the station slowly began to wind down.
After a period of quiet, Twilight came back on air during 2006 on the new frequency of 107.7MHz with a number of not only old-time Twilight DJs but also a number of new voices on the air.
Studios
Being an illegal operation, Twilight FM had to constantly find new premises to broadcast from, mostly it would be a friend of a friends spare room. On one occasion the owner of the property became a stand in DJ and was given the name "Caretaker Nick". Other places Twilight FM have broadcast from include DJ Sumo's conservatory and Bransholme flats!
Advertisers
Many businesses advertised on Twilight FM, even though they were helping aid an illegal broadcaster. Many of them were Public Houses, the DJs would regularly pray on the licensee to part with some cash! Typical advertisers heard on air were,
* White Horse, Carr Lane.
* Tyremen, Anlaby Road.
* Irnwrx, Marina.
* 35 Taxis, Holderness Road.
* Tropical Knights, Marina.
* Kingston Copy Centres, Cottingham Road.
* Club Oasis, Albion Street.
* DJs Record Shop, Princes Quay.
* Happy Homes, Hessle Road.
* Manxman, Marina.
Most of these businesses, with the exception of 35 Taxis are no longer trading.
Twilight Tunes
Typical songs from the halcyon days that are associated with Twilight FM are:
* Bobby Brown - "Two can play that game" (K-Klass Remix).
* Artemesia - "Bits and Pieces".
* Pulse feat. Antoinette Roberson - "The lover that you are".
* Kathy Brown - "Turn me on, turn me out".
* La Luna - "To the beat of the drum".
Dance Events
Twilight FM held a number of "Dance Events" in the city featuring various DJs from the station. Listeners would be invited to attend the night and charged a door fee, this would then be used to finance any repairs or equipment needed.
Venues for these club nights included:
* "The Tower Nightclub", on Anlaby Road.
* "Club Oasis", on Albion Street.
* "Circus Circus", Spencer Street.
All of these premises are now derelict.
It was not unusual for the DJs to be seen on the streets of Hull with a paint brush, a pot of wallpaper paste and a bag of posters Flyposting around the city. Many of the DJs would also give out Flyers at their own club nights to help promote the events.
Jingles
At the height of its popularity Chris H commissioned some jingles for the station, mainly consisting of sweepers. These were made by the Hessle based production company "NYPD".
Offshoots
* Radical 999
* Rhythm FM
* Buzz FM
* Heaven 107

Zybourne Clock (ザイボーン・クロック, Zaibōn Kurokku?) is an upcoming roleplaying game created with RPG Maker. First announced in 2006, Zybourne Clock takes place in a fictional, steampunk-style world. One of the stated goals of the ZC project is to create a massive video game that will feature over 100 hours of gameplay and full voice acting, and lack clichéd characters, settings and storylines, centering around a mysterious device called the Zybourne Clock. Due to repeated harassment by members of the Something Awful forums, the project has become secretive, making current information difficult to come by.
Gameplay
Battle System
A tech demonstration was released in 2007 demonstrating the combat system employed in Zybourne Clock. Combat in Zybourne Clock is menu-based, in which the player selects an action from a list of such options as Fight, Magic and Item and utilizes the Final Fantasy series' Active Time Battle system. The magic system is currently said to be related to music, played from an Enchanted Flute. Happy music will heal your friends, while angry music will harm your enemies, and sad music will make them depressed and unable to fight, a fourth, currently unknown musical style is yet to be released, many fans assume it is related to the Zybourne Clock somehow.
Plot
Setting
Zybourne Clock takes place on an unnamed planet, in the nation of Rasenni, bordered on the north by Bookworld and to the south by the warlike nation of Capital, which has annexed much of the land between the cities of Prey Bark and Wallitston's Hill. The world is one of magic and technology. The most important technologies yet revealed are the Zybourne Clock, Golden Egg and Electromagnetic Pulse weaponry ranging from EMP gloves to EMP grenades and firearms that fire EMP ammunition. The Zybourne Clock is thought to be a powerful time-altering device. According to leaked documents, the newest timelines replace the oldest ones, like a ball knocking another ball off a cliff.
Characters
Though little is known about Zybourne Clock, several characters have been revealed. The hero is Sylus, a true atheist who is accompanied by his clever assistant, the nonsexual flapper girl Nina. The party is also joined by Johnny "Aces" Johnson, a hard-drinking, hard-living gambler and Scholtz, a tough-as-nails photojournalist. The creator of the Zybourne Clock, Dr. Zybourne, appears to be something of a mentor to Sylus. Besides his obsession with the Zybourne Clock, the motivations of the game's antagonist, Dr. Malaprop, remain unknown.
Story
Little is known for sure about the story of Zybourne Clock outside of leaked conceptual documents.
According to these leaked documents, the events of the game are set into motion when a robotic child steals a device called the Golden Egg from Dirk McLauren in a crowded room.
Like many independent outlets in India, the cafe seems to have been created in the cafe culture wave that swept across metropolitan India following the BPO boom and the resultant increase in youth spending power.
Unlike most cafe's in India, the cafe offers free Wi-Fi connectivity.
Elephants & Coffee is also the title of an unpublished but widely produced play - about an elephant that falls in love with a woman.
