Raving has been and will always be one of the dumbest things humans have ever endeavored in.

I was big into the Chicago scene from 97-01. Great parties back in the day, met a bunch of cool people. I lost touch with anyone that still goes to parties, but if they were going on I don't think I would go. If a good DJ is coming to town, I can see him at a bar or club, I don't want to go way out to the west burbs or down to the south or west side just to listen to some music.

seeing 100+ kids at the rocks at 7am as the sun comes up was fvcking amazing.

and the inevitable slow drive-by from the cops with no incident. as a kid originally from very small towns this was probably the most amazing part of any of it.

I don't think it's as big as it may have been, but every time I go home I hear about a rave or two going on and sometimes attend.

it really depends on where you live

One of the guys my dad does work for used to throw huge raves. He brought back 1 million in cash after a very successful one.

Well, I still listen to trance at least...

 

[clamum]

Never been to one but it looks like it could be pretty fun.

Today's equivalent of the Rave scene is the Scene scene. Scene kids.

I was a house/DnB head from 96-2002 but haven't really paid much attention to beats since then.

Parties still happen but most of the big names in my town, if they come, go to 21+ clubs. I saw Bad Boy Bill, Sandra Collins, and LTJ Bukem and different club nights in the last year and a half or so, but I haven't been to a real "party" in years.

out of my group of mates im pretty much alone in my music tastes

they like all the wierd obscure indie bands as well as snow patrol, keiser chiefs, muse etc... where as i like house and electro

i love break beats and electron (eric b and rakim and the like), i love 80's groove/disco/funk and house music from the 80's, and then i like the rave/house from the 90's (808 state, LFO, Praga kahn, Altern 8, future sound of london, orbital etc etc)

i think the great thing about that particular period, and you'll know this if you've listened to alot of the music, is the way the music seems almost as if its like banter between the producers and DJ's

you'll find samples, beats and loops, sliced from a previous record, cut up and mashed in to parts of a new completely different record. as if the DJ is saying, "oh yeah, ill accept your beats...and raise you these"

its likes break dancing, dude comes out, does his ******, then you go out and you out do him, you take his moves, you make them better, you make them your own, and you put it on them.

thats missing from today's dance and house music, especially the stuff played on normal radio.... it just feels like half assed regurgitated rubbish with lyrics re-sung by a nameless blonde.

the rest of it however, does appear to be attempting originality and creativity.

another RANT: mix cd's like those from the ministry of sound or gatecrasher.... are utter bollocks. theyre just a list of carefully selected, mostly commercial tracks that are then mixed millisecond perfectly on a computer in a studio. its as dull as ditch water.

Listened to all forms of electronica primarily almost all my life and I never went to a rave. I'd love to go to one if I ever find one here in NYC.
