What dates?
How the hell does this work? People start the party and THEN get the word out? Not exactly much time for planning, how long does it last etc?

People in the loop free party wise will know the dates etc
Last one I went to was in Wales and was known as eggtek. They ushally go on for a few days although OB often crack down rather hard on them. Year before was Manchester if I recall correctly, dusttek. Both (espechally Manchester) were shut down rather harsly. Wales had some damn fine rigs though and was in a wonderful location, got directed there by the coppers oddly.

uktek in wales and eggtek were two different things. hopefully both go ahead again this year although suitable areas for uktek are kinda restricted atm
charly sheen will be making a special guest appearance at this years tek, playing 1hr of ulta speedcore, because “thats the kinda guy i am!”raaa

ah, I always get confused with all the lables it must be said. Glad you corrected me as its not really my area just enjoy a party. Where the hell was egg tek then? I always assumed they were the same thing! well I think I did, memory is a tad fucked these days

innit too many parties with more than one rig just put tek on the end of something. These were on different bank holidays, Eggtek was in SE england for and if I remember right it split into two events near each other as the crews couldn’t agree on indoor/outdoor venue, just to confuse it even more!

har! true that!
uk tek is always on the same date, its not really a true tek in the fact that foreign sound systems don’t really get involved, in fact the last time foreign rigs got involved was hinkly point many years ago now if memory serves! but its one of the biggest free parties in the uk, its had its ups and downs! Manchester was a nightmare, Wales 2 years ago was sound but not enough people or rigs, last year was fooooking amazing, but repercussions are still being felt!
if you want a real tek get across to france/czek/poland/germany!
there was a French / European crew at Wentwood (Wales in 2007) who turned up with K32 – however it was also the same time I heard some daft bitch shout “there are too many foreigners at this rave” :hopeless: (and she sounded English, so if she was in Wales would technically also be a foreigner 😉 )
In 20 years I had never heard anything like that before, though its all interlinked with recent world events. that and people foolishly escalating things with the cops/heddlu is what probably puts people from other nations off linking up, especially when they can endure much less hassle in their native countries.. bear in mind people in foreign lands can see all the youtubes of riots, conflicts with cops etc at UK parties and thats the impression they get of our scene.

sadly i wasnt at wentwood personally, the crew were & they manged to get the teknoist to play on the rig! i was absloutly gutted!
what a stupid person! i bet she was from bristol!
yeah weve thought about getting forighn crews over, but its too much responsibility, the scene is not the same here. For legal events its fine nawak have been to bristol & narkotek have recently visited lakota! but getting em over for just one night, possibly 2 if there lucky just wont cut it! far too much stress
its all about the english/narkotek linkup at french tek though!! woop!
did all the rigs get their stuff back from eggtek?
Well if anyone in the know wants to clue me in when they know more that would be fantastic. I’d actually like to get into the free party/teknival scene.
UK tek is on the second May bank holiday weekend . It used to be called
the Avon free festival til Castlemorton happened . this year Easter is very close to
the first may bank holiday plus we get an extra bank holiday coz of the Royal wedding
so how about Royal TEK . n ave a right royal rave up .:wink:
