Party Vibe

I wouldn’t chat about this openly before but its already been mentioned loads on various other forums/social networks, ironically more in association with SE England crews than Eastside

people are bragging about having “suicide rigs” and funding the replacements through legal nights (and in some cases the sales of “ketium”)

a lot of it is bravado and they obviously don’t want to lose the rig but some are chatting the same sort of stuff as certain other radicalised angry young men – IMO that level of defiance is just going to get people properly investigated by criminal psychologists, forensic accountants etc as its seen as moving a step up from mischief to organised crime

ironically in the heyday of Norfolk raves when people genuinely did the community thing and kept it on a level they were thought of as harmless – I meet people every day (including normal people what never went raving in their youth) who say “raves were OK until they got a bit out of hand”….

sort of but the internal politics did for this

some of them (particularly the London lot) also threatened to burgle the neighbourhoods where they felt they had been grassed up in order to fund replacement of the rigs (this threat was carried out in some cases, although it was also people justifying their own “individual” crime to fund their habits as well)

it was around that time the cops started getting serious with surveillance and databases, and (with the Tories still in power) they were being given technology that us party people could then only dream of, whole gigabytes of hard drive space, multimedia equipped networked PCs (you may laugh but in 1994 this was a big thing)
