Party Vibe

To get to entertainment venues (legal or otherwise) in towns and cities involves usually going about on the streets. There is way more danger there (even from traffic collisions!) than in these venues. The same applies to all large towns/cities, not just the capital.

Even at “fluffy” East Anglian parties there was a lot of anger and jealousy/sexual tension which on occasions spills over into violence.

perhaps, but from what I have herd about London party’s violence and muggings are hardly uncommon. I dont find the same situation exists in most other cultures in London. But at the same time I am sure its okay as long as you are sensible and lucky. Such is life really.

its not just London. The entire electronic dance music scene and the interlinked night-time economy across the UK has been blighted by bad attitudes and violence in recent times. Bear in mind EDM as a whole is a very broad scene ranging from urban music (grime etc) to psy-trance and in areas where cops have been successful at stopping “drug friendly” events people have just dropped back into being townies!

Any large male-dominated gathering of young people is at risk of being affected by violence. The amount of people doing this violence are a small minority but they have a very bad effect on the event as a whole.
