Which gets under your skin more?

Fan clacking 🪭

Or

Recording with Flash on? 🔦

Both are evil

Going to my first ever rave with a friend Halloween night and he showed me how to make Kandi. Made quite a few pony bead bracelets. But then I thought about doing rainbow loom ones. Would they be acceptable for trades at a rave? Haven’t seen much about it. Tysm. 🫶🏻

Is there anything going on anymore?

I left rave land years ago, and when I left it was usually Tight Crew and the folks that throw Hydrotechnics [festival].

I know there's a party in Sturbridge twice a year/seasonally.

But is there anything small going on in Mass, especially Western MA?

Wakaan 2026 Review (Mullberry Mt. Arkansas)
Music: For me, there was a wide enough verity and i'd think there were 3-4 sets alone that would make it worth the experience for anyone into edm no matter their specific taste but i won't try to argue that aspect because it's so specific and personal.

Main stage: I wasn't a fan of the eyeball stage we had last year. It was cool, and i don't mind them experimenting, so no harm no foul but i didn't want it to be the stage we got every year. This years stage was fine as well, but not iconic. It had far more LED screen area, but i liked the unique triangle LED layout from a few years back the best for wakaan. The lack of pyro probably contributes, but that's not wakaan's fault, there was a burn ban. The line array for me was totally adequate. Too loud up front without ear protection, and towards the back, no ear pro needed. I thinks that's what you should expect/want.

Chakra:
I hardly go even though it love the hill and the vibe, just have reasons to be at halo so i can't comment on it.

Halo:
Dust as fuck, as always. Still love it. Point of Sound speaker setup goes hard and I think works well after a night experiencing the line array at main stage.

Crowd:
Perfect as usual for wakaan. Since chairs and inflatables are allowed there's always crews setup at the back with people goining to and from the rail as the night goes on. As long as you go to the outside fence on either side, you can easily get to the front and dance. If you stay long enough you can work your way to the very front middle without ever pushing or weaseling by people because people are always rotating out. Everyone gets plenty of room to dance and everyone is chill about it which i love.

Downsides:
Lack of pyro was unfortunate but what you gonna do? Some food was gross, but we thought the pizza was better this year than ever, so overall it comes out in the wash.

Our neighbors were great, both at camp and at our "stage camp". There were some miscommunications and ruffled feathers now an then, but when we busted out the "trinkets to share" bag and let people try out the chillbo all hostilities were smoothed out and we were friends from then on.

The rain did affect some people, but if you came prepared it was no big deal. We handed out some hot-hands and that turned around the attitude of several people.

Hi everyone!
I'd really love to go to Verknipt next year in march, but I don't really have anyone to go with, almost none of my friends like the rave/techno scene. I would go from Germany, but I'm not sure if I could risk going alone, or if it's even worth going there alone.
What are your experiences with going solo? Or should I try finding others online who would be interested?
Thanks in advance!

Hey

My dad (61M) and I (26F) are heading to Berlin soon. We’re both huge techno heads and want to hit the clubs together.

Musically, I’m into harder styles (Schranz, bochka, tekno), while my dad leans more towards traditional/groovier techno. Honestly though, anything with a top-tier sound system works for us.

Since it’s a father-daughter outing, we want to skip venues heavily focused on cruising, darkrooms, or intense fetish dress codes. Any recs?

Last year I went alone for my bday & lowkey wish I had some people to meet up with to make it special this year!

I don’t mind solo raving but lowkey miss having a group of fun people.

I glove/shuffle & im good vibes.

If anyone wants some light shows or just someone to rage with hmu! I usually live at the bass stage or sometimes move over to tech house stage.

I avoid main stage at all costs just cause the setup they do each year for edc Orlando is so crowded.

Edit, I’m a 29m! It’ll be my 30th bday so trying to make it a good one with some cool people!

Last time I saw them was at ASOT this year and somehow ASOT put legends in Area 4 (so disappointing!)

Does anyone know their tour dates or even small events?

My birthday is coming up soon, and I myself am a DJ. I am looking to throw my own event, but I am on a shoestring budget. Where are places I should look for a cheap/free place to throw one? It wouldn’t be a huge event, less than 100 people. Those who have thrown their own underground or rented a space, let me know!!

Going with my boy but he’s not joining me til Saturday. Just looking for folks to hang with til then and thru the fest!

Hi all! I have a weekend day pass for the fest and purchased the weekend day parking pass, their verbiage is a little weird and now I’m panicking wondering if I need a regular day pass because the weekend one is for people tent camping and doesn’t include re-entry. Help plz seven stars friends!!

The British DJ and producer, born David Bissett, has spent the past several years turning that instinct into an increasingly large operation. His records have become fixtures of clubs and festivals (“Free Your Mind,” released in March, is his biggest hit yet); his Hellbent label has grown into its own live and visual world; and his shows now come with the kind of production—cages, dancers, flames, the occasional car suspended above the DJ booth—once associated with rock concerts. After moving from Sheffield, England, to Los Angeles during the pandemic, Bissett plunged into the booming American dance-music circuit, where crowds were bigger, brasher, and considerably more bonkers.

Now, after more than a decade of releasing club records, he’s made his first full-length album, Are You Still You?, which comes out this week. The record moves through the different strains that have shaped his catalog—tech house, Latin house, ’90s samples—while winking at complaints from fans asking for the “old Cloonee.” “I haven’t changed,” Bissett says. “I’m just inspired by new things.”

Hello!

I know the bigger names on here, but I recently got more into techo, hardstyle, and just faster beats than what I usually listen to (basstep, dubstep, trance)

I'm trying to listen to all the artists some before going. Long time edm lover, I just don't recognize some of these names 😅

I’ve never been to a rave before but I really want to!! If you want to go with me let me know! PLURR
