How can I find out about crazy partys happening in London and any advice to a newby?
welcome 🙂 – also if you are 15 normally at least someone in your place of education or circle of friends would share the same music tastes as you and might be able to help. I was 15 once, OK many years ago now but Internet wasn’t easily available but that was how I found out about such things…
yeah im the same as this guy… i really want to go to a rave in the woods ! but i have no idea how to get connections .. 🙁
step 1 in making connections: take finger out of bum

No one hiding anything from anyone of any age, there genuinely aren’t as many as there were before, even legal events in London are less common. And other than psy trance events some of which might be legal anyway its not that common to hear of them months in advance. Outside big cities there are fewer venues than ever before and the moment one plays something over 120bpm there are feds all over saying there are drugs in the venue, so no venue managers (many of whom are only in their 20s and in a job what everyone wants to compete for) want to take the risk. This week I was in the community radio station speaking to a lots of of DJs and they were all saying the same thing (hence why all of them are really good on the radio as it is the only way for them to get the music out..)
its got a lot quieter than it has been in the last couple of years in london. A few reasons ive noticed for that and i’m sure there are more. Main reasons i’ve noticed are, the feds shutting down the parties, especially the bigs ones faster, in a post london riots world, social chatter is monitored more. There’s been more violence kicking off and people getting robbed which has been causing a real negative vibe at the parties putting people of going and throwing them. Also causing distrust between rigs blaming eachothers following causing the trouble which stops rigs linking up to have the equipment to even have a party. This has all got a bit tougher and bit harder in the recession when there’s less money around to put on the events and is possibly even the cause for people getting robbed more at these events with a few mote desperate people in society. That said I don’t want to put you off underground raves as they are an experience which is just incredible when they go right!
p.s. Parties are normally thought about 2 weeks in advance unless its Halloween (hint 😉 ) or something like that! So dont go looking for parties months in advance. Be ready for one to drop in a week, and be ready for disappointment sometimes if they just dont happen for various reasons. If you havnt been in the rain in an industrial estate some where in a east or north london and found out it’s been moved or shutdown then you havnt been trying hard enough!! You’ve got it all to come! 🙂
