It seems theres is a stigma attached to any1 from this end of the country and i dont think its fair.

Alot of norfolk ravers dont come out unless its a norfolk party, coz they know they arnt guna get the phat mosh and party vibe that soooo many people talk about all over the country.

I geuss its probably better that the party scene has its divisions, coz otherwise there would be too many people all wanting to be in the same place at the same time and the parties wouldnt happen, hence what happened at new years in MK ASDA (ASDATEK – to those who were there!)

Free parties are not about the expression of ones self, its an expression of many peoples ideas and beleifs into one place at one time.

to be honest your right its not fair, you still put on parties up there wich get good crowds and your still knocking out music till the early hours, fair play to yall.

and if you guys wanna mosh and its your party, thats your right, you have put the time and energy in to setting it up etc

i know what happens at norfolk parties, thats why we dont go to norfolk, its supply & demand brother!

I’ve found EA ravers to be slightly friendlier than in other areas and even the ones trying to be like Ali G are more comedy (especially when they are in fact from Stowmarket, and don’t even know where some places are in London!) than genuinely potentially violent..

also some of the best parties I’ve been to have been smaller ones where the rig is virtually held together with string and gaffer tape.

i spoke to some of my friends in the norfolk party scene last night and they were shocked when i told them that people from the rest of the country dont like the mosh!
they were saying things like; “Thats why we go to parties…for the mosh!”

I think its just who you hang about with really mate, i live and was born in norfolk and i tbh the only reason i go to partys these days is for the tunes and the system. Hence ive been going to alot more legal stuff recently as the systems are generaly beasts. Its just down to peoples tatses really.

If i had a void/funktion 1/turbosound system in my bedroom tho i would probs never leave my room hahaha.

yeh this is true, but i could never compare a club night to a free party, even though its all the same people. Obviously in clubs you are allowed amplified music so that means you can have mega rigs all over the place!

Im goin to norwich tonite and there will be a big phat turbosound rig and it will be phat, but it will never compare to where im goin saturday nite :bounce_fl

When u go out in norwich there are always the bluds who just randomly turn up at a rave party in a club and try and join in, they stick out like sore thumbs.

3 years ago you would have been 15, and its not entirely a bad thing you got some of your “edumacation” out of the way before getting into the party scene.

I find its those who started heavily getting into drugs in their mid teens (rather than at least waiting until they have done with high school) who burn out by their mid 20s and then either regret not being able to get jobs etc due to lack of qualifications etc or worse, get into hard drugs and crime..being older and in a management position at work I see a lot of recruiting of younger people and employers aren’t that fussed about A levels, or uni but they do want to at least see people with a few GCSEs…

the feds aren’t stupid and keep files on everyone who is seriously involved in rave. If you have a day job or are in education they mostly leave you alone but if you are NEET and can “miraculously” afford to keep buying tunes, equipment and replace it when it gets confiscated thats when stuff like forensic accountants start being used to “follow the money”.

cant believe, norfolk parties are still being discussed!

are they all still moshing like twats, clambering all over the rig & rinsing shite hard trance & hard style?

shazam baby! raaa:laugh_at::laugh_at::laugh_at:

Mostly! I went to a few good little shindigs at the end of the summer before I set sail for Cornwall though.. too many outright rude chavs on the prowl these days though.

Live and let live on the moshing front though, I’m a metalhead at heart and I can appreciate the notion of musical appreciation through some serious bodily contact!

I went to both types of school at various points in my life, but TBH it shouldn’t matter for shit.

The reason free parties are/were tolerated was because people of all sorts of ages, backgrounds, cultures and race/ancestry came together and interacted in a friendly and safe manner – with none of the gender/racial tension or undercurrents of violence in townie areas.

At one point they genuinely had far less negative incidents than legal nightlife, which was why the authorities mostly left them alone – wasn’t because those in power particularly supported them (particularly as there was relatively uncontrolled drug use) but they were “less worse” than other legal events.

if people can get back to these better times then maybe there will be more tolerance, especially as town centres and legal venues are becoming more problematic, as well as a rise in low level violence, domestic violence and mindless criminal damage which is keeping cops busy at the moment (and they have budget cuts) – however ravers will have to strongly distance themselves from involvement in any of these crimes (which is what people did a bit better in the 1990s/early 2000s…)
