BASS SESSIONS! Who went? What did you think? Are you going next time?
Full pro audio rigs, electro psytrance tech dnb jungle. :bounce_fl
The after party wasn't to good, full turbosound rig in a warehouse in milton keynes, only one problem, only 4 tops worked, the rest of the rig wasnt running! To top it off, they were playing rinsed hard trance....i got bored and left early.
Not after being pulled twice tho!
Dear STORM SOUND SYSTEM, Its time for another STORMTEK! Hey, so im thinking its about time for another MASSIVE STORM night somewhere ... plllllleeeeeeeeaaaaaaasssssssseeeeeee!!
Ne plans in the making?
The last two at the Custard Factory were just too fucking good!
PLUR: Peace, Love, Unity and Respect. PLUR: Peace, Love, Unity and Respect.
PLUR or Peace, Love, Unity and Respect is the essence of the way of life being aspired to by 'ravers'. But what does it really mean? Peter Douglas from the uk.music.rave newsgroup dared to try to define it and succeed-ed rather well.
Peace:
The reason we like the music that we do, and dance like we do, is because it helps us achieve a state of inner peace, particularly peace with ourselves. For me the music that catalyses this state has a sticky label on it that says 'goa trance', sometimes 'psychedelic trance', and includes 'tribal trance'. Being able to dance the way we do is being able to be four years old again, to be free of ego like we were before self conscious-ness took control. When we dance free of ego, we are at peace with ourselves, and at peace with all those around us. In the peace of a good trance, when someone stands on my foot I get a real buzz out of it because it's a chance to put some of that peace 'out there' as well as having it inside. With a big grin and a squeeze of their shoulder I've been able to say "Hey! Isn't this great?" without being dorky about it.
Peace People!
Love:
It means you can turn to a complete stranger who's sipping a bottle of water, and they'll see your sweat dripping and ears glowing and your eyes dark and deep, and they'll smile and offer you the bottle. It means people not only call out to you "Are you okay mate?" when they hear you heaving your dinner in the toilet cubicle, but they care about the answer.
Love is the reason the people at Return to the Source hang crystals, sprinkle essence and otherwise prepare the space for us to be in together. Love is .... (fill in your own - hey, maybe there's a cartoon strip in there somewhere!)
Unity:
I think this one shows the widest gap between the aspiration and the realization. There still seem to be anorak wars between disciples / acolytes of various stylistic sub-genres, by people who've forgotten that preferring green to blue or liking cardamom more than coriander is not a sign of intellectual under endowment and spiritual inadequacy. For me the concept of unity is not us against them, but trying to give 'them' a glimpse of the wonderful space we experience at a good party.
Respect:
Sometimes I fantasize about a club with coat pegs all round the periphery, where everyone just hangs their stuff and it's still there when they come to wear it home. Hey, and you can even leave your money in the pockets - now that's *respect*.
Respect is also about realizing that everyone's different. Bizarre as it may seem, not everyone thinks your whistle-blowing next to their ear enhances the total dance experience. If you really think people enjoy your trilling, and are blown away by the musical mastery evident in your one note mantra, then be fair and move around a lot. That way you leave everyone wanting more (maybe) rather than one poor bugger in front of you wanting less, much less.

Four arrests in police rave swoop
A rave in Norfolk, attended by about 100 people, was disrupted by police almost as soon as it had begun.
Officers were called to Roydon Common in King's Lynn early on Monday and officers were able to identify key organisers and seize sound equipment.
Four people were arrested and released on bail while investigations continue.
"The message we want to put across is that we take robust action to deter and prosecute organisers and people at these events," Supt Nick Davison said.
"Raves cause a lot of distress to local residents, businesses, wildlife and habitats. Norfolk Constabulary is committed to finding as many avenues as possible to tackle this problem."

Bottles thrown at ambulance crew
The pilot remonstrated with some of the attacking ravers
An air ambulance crew and their helicopter were pelted with cans and bottles as they tried to help an injured man at a rave in Norfolk.
Police condemned the "reckless and irresponsible behaviour" which put the crew and their vehicle at risk at Feltwell, near Thetford.
The crew, who were unhurt, were called while police were on site on Sunday.
Officers made several arrests and seized equipment at the rave, which was attended by about 500 people.
A rave at nearby Bodney on Saturday night had been broken up by police, with organisers and attendees moving on to the second site.
'Very worrying'
Supt Nick Davison said the "foolish" actions had potentially serious consequences.
"Not only was the safety of ambulance staff put at risk, but the fact that the helicopter was targeted is very worrying," he added.
Our crews are dedicated to saving lives so it's inexplicable to us that they would be threatened in this way
Simon Gray
East Anglian Air Ambulance
"Had the air ambulance been damaged, then a vital resource for the whole of East Anglia could have been lost."
Simon Gray, managing director for the East Anglian Air Ambulance, which has two helicopters, said he was horrified by the events.
Dr Richard Browne and paramedic Dan Cody, supplied by the emergency medical charity Magpas, were trying to help a man who had fallen from a height and injured his leg and back.
The patient was given "accident and emergency-level" assistance and taken to hospital by land ambulance.
"Our crews are dedicated to saving lives so it's inexplicable to us that they would be threatened in this way," said Mr Gray.
"Equally, the aircraft is funded purely by the hard work of the charity's many supporters, who work tirelessly so that we can keep it flying.
"Our pilot remonstrated with some of those throwing bottles and fortunately none of the crew was harmed and the aircraft was not damaged.
"The outcome could all too easily have been very different."
More than 150 vehicles were stopped during the operation, with arrests made over suspected vehicle offences and drink driving.

Extra police for rave crackdown in Norfolk
Norfolk Police have warned people planning to hold raves over the Bank Holiday weekend that a "zero-tolerance" approach will be adopted.
Ch Supt Tony Cherington said extra resources were available to prevent, disrupt and close down illegal raves in the county.
The public has been urged to report any activity which makes them believe a rave is being planned.
This could include people seen looking for a possible rave venue, police said.

Arrests after forest rave in disused home near Thetford
Six people have been arrested and sound equipment seized after police broke up an illegal rave in a forest clearing near the Norfolk/Suffolk border.
Police monitored the party in a boarded up holiday home at Two Mile Bottom, near Thetford, from the early hours.
They turned away a number of people who had been trying to get to the secluded site in an area of forest land.
At the height of Saturday's event there were believed to have been about 150 people attending, police said.
"No complaints were made in relation to noise nuisance and the nearest dwelling was around half a mile away," Supt Nick Davison said.
"Police take such incidents very seriously and will act to deal with anyone intent on causing disruption and nuisance within our communities.
"Such events are unsafe and we will continue to prosecute and seize and destroy the equipment of anyone found to be involved."
Those arrested are suspected of theft, burglary, being unfit to drive, causing criminal damage and organising an unlicensed music event.

A Layman’s Introduction to Barticle Physics A Layman's Introduction to Barticle Physics
Nick Leverton and Barticle.
Barticle Physics refers to that branch of physics which concerns or is affected by the group of elementary particles known as "munterons" or "barticles". This includes the "definite barticle" or "barton" itself, which is a slepton, as well as a number of particles of similar if varying spin, orientation, et cetera, known as "indefinite barticles"; and the hardon-like group of "munterons". The interactions between these slepton and hardon particles are mediated by a hitherto-unknown nuclear force known as "munt". The previously known hardon particles are now generically referred to as "non-munterons".
As an example, let us look at an amorphous disorganised group of classical non-munterons. They may be in one of several different states: Sulky, Angry, Sad, Bored, Lonely or Frustrated. There will be little or no alignment between the states of neighbouring non-munterons. When they are stimulated by the application of sound energy, it is almost certain that they will exhibit widely differing reactions to it, and this in turn will lead to physical contacts and interactions between the non-munterons. These interactions may involve at the least the release of sound waves, and in cases of serious misalignment may also involve physical energy, which in the extreme can lead to one or both non-munterons being violently ejected from the group by the non-munteron mediator particle which is known as a "bouncer".
Consider now a similar amorphous disorganised group of munterons. Thanks to the mediation of the munt force, which is notable carried by small flat rounded particles generically called "munterases", it is highly likely that all munterons will be in the same state, known as Plur. Thanks to this alignment, when munterons and barticles are exposed to suitable ranges of sound frequencies, synchronised and co-ordinated motions will be observed, again often including physical contact, but in this case in a frictionless, synergistic mode rather than an antagonistic mode. If the contacts become too frequent, the infringing barticle or munteron will generally modify its modes of movement, or in severe cases may shift its spatial position slightly so as to reduce the level of interference to a more suitable level. Despite the far higher particle densities normmally found in a munteron group as compared to a non-munteron group, this will normally be achieved without the need for any outside mediation or any change in Plur alignment whatsoever.
Though it is still an open question whether barticles are subject to the munt force as they do not appear to interact with munterases, it is undeniably observable that they are normally to be found in the Plur state, and that they frequently interact with munterons, hence they undoubtedly belong in the same classification as other munterons.
Munterons are normally to be found in small groups of from two to a dozen particles. They will however naturally aggregate wherever suitable sources of sound waves are to be found. As noted above, densities in a munteron group may far exceed anything that can be sustained by non-munteron groupings. Though they can sometimes be observed exhibiting sound reactions singly, it is normal that once one commences, the alignment in Plur states and the action of the munt force will ensure that the reaction arena (quaintly called the "dance floor", for reasons that are unlikely to become clear again at the moment) quickly becomes crowded with well-aligned munterons.
There are two known extreme groupings of munterons. The first, muntronium, occurs when munterons are so closely packed that there is room between them only for the most minimal of sound reactions, the distance between barticle centres being between 0.5 and 1 times the munteron's normal free action radius. In this case there can still be free movement, because the Plur alignment guarantees an almost frictionless environment and, despite the density, each munteron is within reason still able to choose its own modes and degrees of movement. The second, known as bartronium, is a still denser packing, in which case there is no free space at all between munterons, and there is only room for a co-ordinated motion in the vertical plane. This state has never yet been observed naturally, and there is some doubt amongst researchers whether it will occur outside articifial conditions, as munterons generally prefer to have more than one degree of freedom.
Where munterons and non-munterons mix, the result depends on the proportions of each particle. If non-munterons are in the preponderance, then the munterons will not become bound to the sound source and are likely to be radiated from the group until they enter an environment more conducive to the Plur state. Interestingly, they are unlikely to return to the reaction site or "club" in which the experiment was carried out, which suggests some sort of quantum "memory" effect may be at work. Where munterons are substantially more numerous, however, it is likely that they will prevail. In this case one of two things may occur. Usually the non-munteron, unable to achive the sort of reaction which it is seeking, will leave the reaction site (mediation by a "bouncer" is rarely necessarily in well-run sites). Sometimes, however, the non-munteron may find that the Plur environment is, to use an unjustified but hopefully pardonable anthropomorphism, "congenial", and may itself become sensitive to the munt force and commence interacting with munterons and munterases in its own right. In this case, there is little alternative but to consider that the non-munteron has now become a munteron. Unfortunately the reaction rate is slow, otherwise it is likely that the entire universe would quickly be converted into munterons.
In summary, the study of munterons and barticles is a fascinating and rapidly expanding area of modern dynamics, and this researcher would heartily recommend that anyone interested in a career in this area should seek out a source of suitable munterase as soon as possible in order to commence their own investigations.
This article would not have been possible without the munterons and barticles of uk.music.rave, to whom all acknowledgements and massive respect are due for this researcher's own induction into the field.

Beach Bummers Boozy Bottleneck By Schnews - Friday 19th July 2002
REVELLERS partied the night away on Brighton seafront last Saturday to the sound of overhead police helicopter display teams, traffic chaos, stranded emergency vehicles and the ecstatic screams of a quarter of a million happily crushed ravers.
The event, hosted by the Big Beached Buttock, featured the huge talent of disk jockey Fate By Slime who played some records to approximately 3000 people in front of Brighton West Pier. Meanwhile the remaining 247,000 party-goers looked on in awe and jubilation, but couldn’t hear a bloody thing.
Party animals had been bussed in from as far afield as the Highlands of Scotland where whole hillsides had been cleared of trees and vegetation to make way for huge billboard posters for the event of the century. Welsh revellers talked of sheep that had been used as walking adverts for the gig with directions written in Welsh and English branded onto their once snow white bodies. Council ‘helper’ Simone Franchise stated that the massive advertising campaign had been essential in order to make the Flat Boy Scam gig the huge success that it was: “Everyone knows that an event of this magnitude has to be hugely over-attended. Some people have moaned about litter and broken glass on the beach but let's face it, where do you think all that rubbish came from? Mostly from our shops and therefore using our beach as a landfill site is good for business and good for everyone in Brighton.”
Life’s a Beach
Despite a handful of tragedies relating to the event, the police immediately ruled out any talk of an enquiry into the fantastically financially successful maritime pop show. Police spokesman Superindented Death Ray stated that the problems relating to the salty extravaganza were ‘fairly obvious’ and an inquiry would tell organisers nothing they did not already know about the event. Luckily there had been only one death relating directly to the event and a mere 160 injuries during the night and as such the event had been ‘as safe as houses.’ Death added that having 250,000 drunk people and children trapped on a darkened Brighton beach in dangerously overcrowded conditions surrounded by broken glass and urine and unattended by emergency services was ‘character building’, creating a sense of community and togetherness reminiscent of the Blitz. Eyewitness reports that anarchy broke out as revellers threw bottles into the crowd and at emergency personnel have been dismissed as ‘unproductive’ criticism. As a result of the spectacular safety record and outstanding organisational skills displayed throughout Saturday evening by the police, officials felt questions raised by a handful of moaning locals were largely irrelevant. Brighton and Hove Council agreed whole-heartedly as did event organisers
Big Beached Blunder.
Free for all party
Event Organisers The Big Blunder joined forces with the council and police to stress that in no way should the Filled By Slime gig be confused with the illegal free parties that have historically occurred on Brighton and Shoreham beaches. “We have gone to great lengths to stamp out the scourge that is the local free party scene; that cancerous rash that blights our cultural landscape should in no way be confused with legitimate council-backed beach-trashing events, all of which are wonderful and never go wrong”. Council spokesthing Simian Fanfare added that “The council only supports events that are much, much larger and more corporate than free parties and therefore better. More mindless consumers visiting Brighton means more beer and chips being sold everywhere, as well as silly hats, sales of which have gone through the roof, and that’s very important for our City of Culture Bid.” Mr Fiasco also pointed out that the costs of policing this particular event as well as the impact of a quarter of a million guests descending on the city meant the event was far from free to local residents - unlike the vast majority of free parties which have done nothing to improve the corporate worth of Brand Brighton.
Meanwhile free party organisers are said to be fleeing the country in fear of their lives as Brighton Council death squads are being mobilised to further enforce their ‘say no to unlicensed fun’ campaign. One free party organiser who prefers to remain nameless stated that: “We’re being persecuted because we keep throwing underground free parties for a few hundred locals without adequate advertising.
Several of our crew were arrested last weekend for picking up litter and giving away free water to party-goers at an unlicensed free party. When they were eventually released, all they could do was dribble while reciting the Brighton and Hove mission statement over and over again.” The drugged up squat rave organiser later added that “Finding sites with adequate parking well away from the public scrutiny has just got us in the worst kind of trouble – maybe in future we should just organise Dresden style leaflet drops and invite everyone to come and piss on our beach; it seems to work OK for the council.”
After the unmitigated success of the gig on the beach, DJ Fete Boy (real name Naomi Coke) spent the remainder of the night guzzling Champagne and playing even more records for all of his celebrity friends in an exclusive Brighton nightspot. In the small hours, the exhausted DJ and his beautiful wife were whisked away in a limousine to their sparkling luxury condominium love pad with its private beach, which remains, as ever, beautifully clean.
Meanwhile, some people in our lovely new broken-glass-sparkly City, the ones who actually do useful jobs like clean the litter and look after sick people, have complained that they can’t actually afford to live here anymore. Some even joined the nationwide strike on Wednesday, complaining, “It’s time they (the Council) decided whether this is a playground for Londoners or a city for its own people.”
Council spokesperson Simpering Fanatic told the Anus “Why don’t the poor people all just fuck off to Hastings?”
Raving, Age Differences and the "Peter Pan" Factor… I mentioned this in the rant thread but its something i've been increasingly starting to get concerned about. When I moved to Ipswich in 2006, I met a fair few people off this website and went partying with them. Initially they were in their mid 20s to 30s/40s, "my" sort of age group.
in recent times, most of my age group have given up parties totally. some have had kids and settled down, others sadly have had kids but their relationship broke up and are single/part-time parents, but few go out raving any more, not even to legals.
I still see some of my original older mates, they live way out in the sticks so its a long bike ride, but in '07 I befriended a lot of the younger lot in town from the local crews.
However in recent times I've drifted away a bit - I know its a bit daft but as a single male in his late 30s I wonder if its "right" for me to have such a quantity a lot of younger friends, and take part in a contentious youth culture scene? I don't go chasing after underage girls like some "rum old boys" do round here (although I've had to fend off attention from some!) , nor I am I a drug dealer (got a decent career, a house and no need to do any sort of crime) but I feel sometimes not only the cops, and parents but even some ravers do wonder "why is someone that age still raving and hanging around with "kids?"
I've heard comments that "people should give it up when they reach their 40s", but if the rest of your life is OK I disagree with that - however since the zero tolerance it seems the only people still going to rave-type events (even legals) are getting younger and younger and they are all giving up from age 23-25
should my age group settle down and go to funky house / garage type events (fuck that! would rather not get shot at!) or just stay at home?12
NL : Dutch local goverments imposing "zero tolerance" against raves Found this whilst looking for more definite proof of the Netherlands moving away from their liberal/tolerant views.
That said, "Zero Tolerance" in this context means the event is permitted but UK-style searches are deployed whereas before you could bring in whatever you wanted to this rave with relative impunity
In 2008, the municipality of Utrecht imposed a Zero Tolerance Policy to all events like the big dance party Trance Energy held in Jaarbeurs. However, such zero-tolerance policy at dance parties are now becoming common in the Netherlands and are even stricter in cities like Arnhem.
The two towns Roosendaal and Bergen op Zoom announced in October 2008 that they would start closing all coffee shops, each week visited by up to 25000 French and Belgian drug tourists, with closures beginning in February 2009.[28]

raves hey peeps im new to this site i really dont wanna ask this. Because i read comments and people get funny
Does anyone know of any raves in the Sussex area this weekend or next?
There was one the other week but police turned up so was pretty lame.
could you pm/ or i can give contact. email
thank u
i dont really wanna try and follow the music and try and drive round until i find one lol12

Myon & Shane 54 - Not A Lot Left (Original Mix)
This is the shit that gets me hype, fun trance!
If there are any gigs / parties licensed and non... give me a holler.
People Under 18 at Raves? hey guys, as you may know, im 15, and i would like to get allong to some of these parties :weee:
so im wondering what your stance is, i would probably go with my bro who is 20 odd, and im completely against seeing a 15 year old in a khole in a field, or 15 year old chavs wanking around nicking stuff and pissing people off.
of course, im all for the scene, and if me attending was to annoy any one or do any harm, or encourage any friends to follow me, id rather just wait till im older, as to not damage the scene :hopeless:
so.. wahts your view? preferably people from east anglia?
cheers :bounce_fl12…56
