KSS – Freetekno party in France June 2011 A quick heads up for all travelling ravers.
We are going over to France as usual - This year were going over the weekend of the 18th June 2011. (A week before Glastonbury!).
It's a smaller, friendlier event than the May Frenchtek. Around 5000 people and three stages (KSS being one of them) and we've come to prefer it to the mega airport affair.
More info as soon as we have the flyer sorted, i'll update this post.
Mean time you can keep an eye on our movements through KSS Records - Next event Sunday 1st May 2011
NOTE: Next UK event is 1st May 2011 - [LDN] - - KSS - - Royal Toughen Up Shoreditch - Party Calendar
FrenchTekno, who am i? I am french, i love tekno (french above all, Heretik, OQP, Banditos, Nawak, Metek, etc, etc) and Industrial music (Skinny Puppy, Throbbing Gristle, Front Line Assembly, Suicide Commando, Hocico, etc, etc). These are the two scenes that speak to me the most. But being a music lover i don't mind anything from Metal (Iron Maiden to Pantera), Dub/Reggae (i love the works of Lee Scratch Perry), Rock (certainly the classic bands like the Rolling Stones, Led Zep, Pink Floyd, Dire Straits), PsyTrance(i used to listen to a french radio station who on Sunday nights would play the best tunes /classics of the scene), even Drum n Bass.
I am also interested in politics, or as i like to say : i can see through their shit/ read in between the lines of articles/news broadcasts. I am an Anarchist, but who believes that violence will bring us nowhere. All governments are more than prepared for this. On the other hand, social disobedience like Ghandi believed in, is certainly one of the better routes to go down.
And i am certainly one of these persons who wished that Humanity was something different to what i see now. I so believe that we can change the system but that's if only ppl, and i mean everyone, stand up together and show their two fingers to the current system. They are very dependent on us being ignorant to keep this system going. Knowledge of what's actually going on is Power!!!
Frenchtek 2011 – anyone in for a South-West convoy? Exactly what it says on the tin people.. I'll be coming from Cornwall so it'd be wicked to meet some people along the way and make the journey less of a mission for all; and Partyvibe seems like the best place to get some people on the roll-call!
Let me know and we can get rallying :wink:
frenchtek roll call! anyone on here definatly going? i cant wait! we are all booked and confirmed, cant wait to get on the road again & knock out some filth in the sun! woop!
come and say hi, if you do come!raaa

hello friends, party people and freedom lovers,
It feels just like every year again : Frenchtek ? Legal, semi legel, illegal ? whats the matter and what are the facts ?
The Situation is that for this year the government is in the Situation of the run up for the elections in this very time and is using the organized Festival, still covered under the name Teknival, to proof and show up how much they got the Raving Situation under control and as well how much nice they are to allow and support this. Which is only half the truth, because it has fairly nothing to do with being nice, rather then having no different chance if they don´t want to call back their Ghost of thousands squatting and partying without authorization. Also the repression and fear Politic of ex interior minister Sarokzy, aka maybe future president, doesn´t allow much hope for the future of freedom in France and as well for the Freeparty Scene. But he is very pleased to use this media Spectacle to show in this important moment that he ain´t all so bad !! He seems to have found a easy playing field and playing figures with some persons who are ready to sell this scene for their own aims and interests !!
In the same Moment the people who participate this legal event the government is coordinating, they shout against Sarkozy and how bad and evil this man is, yet the play his game and support active his election campaign !!
This is one of the reasons why several other soundsystems decided to vote for a illegal one, also because the negotiation with the government are seen as failed, as the law is still not been applicate in all regions fro example.
Here is my personal view and it would be interesting to know what you lot think about it.
collaboration with the government is something to be done very carefully and wise and most of all only to be done if it is really necessary. Why ? because we are not politicians and playing their game showed that we will always end up fooled ! There is no necessity for negotiations and collaborations in the moment, as the Government seems not be willing to go further towards the scene.
that´s why, for my idea, collaboration with the government and even signing a declaration for the "Festival", which is the fist time in History that mediators signed such a "contract", is not only a big mistake, but also a betray to the idea of freeparty they claim to be part of.
Freeparty shall be free, open to everyone, respect to everyone - thats true and therefore it is fair that the people choose what they want: legal or illegal !! state organized or DIY !!
Yet - again this year, again created by the same persons ( hello collabo-benos ), that they abuse again the same mechanism then the government to get their "votes": FEAR !!
Is safety that important to people that they betray their believes ?
Moreover, as there is no potential threat for the Teknival but having to stop earlier, i ask myself if people became so manipulable and open for the Fear - Mechanism ?
This doesnt give me much hope for the real elections either !!!
Still everyone is shouting against the police and security state, whilst in their very small world of free culture, they are sheeps as the people they judge for voting sarkozy !!
Is there any believe ?
where believes get betrayed and compromises been done in a situation like we have here, that the scene is dividing itself into the two drifts of keeping the DIY spirit and Commercialisation, then i can only call it hypocrisy !!!
I find it is a sad time when people lost the idea to fight for what they believe in, when people make compromises where non should be done, cause as france is in election, the Freeparty seems to be in the same situation: people have to choose which "party" they want to join with a fairly political background. You cant really make a compromise for the election of the future President of France, can you ? Same here, you can not pick out the strawberries of the both cakes !! Well of course you can, but this makes you be a hypocrite :P
Supporting the legal event called " Festival of alternative Art " you support also active Sarkozys election campaign ! Supporting this event - for which reason ever - means as well you state your voice against the nature of Freeparty !!
everyone is free to choose, everyone is free to be hypocrite and free to do compromises !!
so am i free in stating my position !
here the infoline of the Teknival :
ring from french phone:

don4t forget the #
at the end
Stop selling Freeparty to the State when it is not necessary, Stop leading this once so wonderful scene in the total commercialization !
