The few things I can say here are:

*there’s an officially authorized Teknival kicking off,wich only desserves(IMO) the total BOYCOTT.Shame on it.

*If you have very big ears,you may find THE Pirate Area.

Good luck in any of your choice!

I’ve never done Frenchtek and never will (despite being able to speak French and having a lot of respect and affection for the country), the best years of it have passed (as I discussed with 665).

The grass is no greener on the other side of the Channel, the cops have big guns and more CS gas and aren’t afraid to use them, and like all big gatherings its not as friendly/multicultural as many claim it is.

Good luck to those who are going though…

I wouldn’t mind however going to a small free party in France or another European country with good friends from both nations….

as you could see int he move of the czech scene, it is happening somehing in europe !!
the people who still believe in DIY and autonomy, who believe in this as basix for a freearty or teknival forced in france now a seperation of the movement. in the moment its still hot all here and alot of discussions about that, not only good and productive, but this will pass.

finally they understood that there is no sense to keep a scene united that has developed so mch different ideas about the same topic. fair play to those who want to do the legal one, just then be fair and dont play it as a free event nor a teknival.

scenes are born and grow and devide themselves in different drifts – thats the way it is and if we only see that it is necessary and also more productive, all is fine. freedom to choose for each one i say.

i think good time are going to come back again as there is a massive amount of people and soundsystems who dont want to go into commercialisation of freeparty at all. not cause they are crusty hipies believeing in a myth, but because they believe that autontomous spaces are now more important than ever before, regarind globalisation and the state europe is getting in !

🙂 all will be fine 🙂

I think if we can get the an acceptance that a party with about 500 people which causes no trouble, mess or disruption is legal as a law across the EU that would be good.

Britain already has this but insists on too much paperwork, apparently France has the same, doesn’t ask for all the paperwork but some areas are easier to party than others…

thats correct, hence whe the french see the negotiations as stopped as far teh government cares of adapting the law everywhere.
thats why they also do the illegal one: once as counter event to the legal festival covered in teknival announcement, once cause they want to put pressure again as they lost strength in the times of negotiations. to many people were liking the idea of the bizness with the state and the state therefore lost a bit of “respect” and thinks they can “rule” the scene as they want.

a europeanwide law about this would be wicked for some but not recommendable cause in other countries it would mean going step back as they still have more freedoms as others. for excample italian freeparty scene is totally against such a law, as they pretty much just take their free spaces without being fucked afterwards.

in longterm, as also there repressioin is growing, i thinkin meantime of other 5 years, we may really ave to end up with a european wide law

I think there are local differences due to terrain and local attitudes.

A country like the UK is actually very small and a lot of land is held by ancestral royal families or big agricultural companies so there are big conflicts over land use, plus no real wider cultural acceptance of loud music and partying.

Even so, the UK did actually have a very good scene but people overdid the same areas and the local people and farmers complained. Even today in larger rural areas of the UK where venues are well chosen the parties are still often left alone.

there is I think a worrying trend though of puritan/conservative people across Europe getting into positions of power, if not quite national leaders in local councils and that is where they can do a lot of damage..

Hi all,
I really agree with you.
I spend 7 years on free scene in France as I’m french. I can tell you that the spririt is really dead. The very best teknival I mades was in 1999-2000. Since french tek are just a big meating of kebab vans and drug!

The free is no more as it was as people just go there to get fucked with drugs…

one point is that the muzik is still good but not the spirit.

It’s my point of view and I would no more want to go in a french tek, even If most of my friends are part of sound sytem and keep making some fucking noise there.

But if you had never seen such a big meting it could be a good trip for you…

we have (or had) big raves in England too, but the same things happened as in FRance and even without “legal” teknivals.

if I ever go to France it will be either on my own (perhaps to do some cycling as well) or with a small group of friends, and as much to explore a place quietly as to go to a rave – but I would like to find a rave with about 500 people or so, like the ones I’ve heard are permitted out there….

maybe one summer in the next few years I will get round to this..
