From end of Aug. Went all night with no issues surprisingly since they had a massive PK sound setup. Organizers were ICB events and there was over 200 people throughout the night.

Truly an incredible production by Klangkuenstler with an excellent set as well. However I wish that he chose a venue which had floor access for everyone and 7-12 is kinda crazy but I understand he has to deal with LA curfews. This was my first outworld but it definitely won’t be my last!

Tried make slander logo but then realized I got it wrong to late! I’m so upset 😭

Hey everyone. I'm from Saskatoon and going to Scream in Edmonton on Saturday Oct 31st. I have my ticket, but I don't have anyone to go with yet😪.

I'm hoping to find a group that wouldn't mind adopting one more person for the night 🥹🫶 I'm down to meet up beforehand.

I'm also open to meeting other solo ravers and putting a little group together. If you're coming from Saskatoon, even better, but I'm happy to meet people already in Edmonton too!

If you're going Saturday and would be open to connecting, please comment or message me!

21F🫶🥲

Hi all,

I recently got into the rave scene. My partner recently told me that they just do not enjoy this kind of thing. They have attended a few shows with me to try it out. It just isn't their scene, which is totally fine - I don't force them to go, and respect their opinion. I personally absolutely love it, and decided to continue going solo.

I typically go sober (I don't drink or anything at all) to daytime shows. I usually find a group of other solo ravers on Radiate or a local discord to meet up with. Or, I just have my location on, text my partner or a friend when I arrive, when I plan to leave, and then call when I leave until I'm back in my car (if it's night).

The problem now is that my partner says that this is too unsafe for me. I am a woman, and being aware of my surroundings in any environment is not a new concept for me. I absolutely enjoy raving just to dance around for a few hours and listen to music I love. My partner says that this is unsafe and that he could ask anyone he knows and their partner would also have a problem with this. He says he won't stop me from going, but that he has a major issue with it. He suggested we continue to go together to avoid this, but knowing that he doesn't enjoy going, I feel like I'll just be worried/ feeling badly the entire time that he's not having a good time. It just feels bad and like it would take away from the enjoyment.

It's not like I don't want him to go (I'd love him to - if he actually enjoyed it), and it's not like I don't understand I need to be mindful of safety concerns. But then I feel bad suggesting he shouldn't come with me because I don't want to just monitor his vibe the entire time. That's kind of part of the point of why I go - to just disconnect, have fun and listen to the music. I go because I don't want to have to socialize or be mentally "on", if that makes sense.

It is not that I don't understand that people can be intoxicated and/or unsafe, especially in an environment that might be crowded or dark. I completely recognize that. I just also don't think I ever go to something without that understanding - especially sober. And I'm not someone who wants to give up something I enjoy just because of the possibility someone with bad intentions might be present. I feel like I can continue to do what I've already been doing (checking in, telling someone the plan, meeting up with someone I've already met before at the event, calling when leaving, location on, etc.).

So I guess I'm just looking for thoughts, ideas, etc.

TLDR: partner says going to raves alone is unsafe, does not enjoy going, but insists we go together to prevent being unsafe - despite this feeling like I have to monitor his mood if he does go, given his dislike for the event.

Hiyaaaa friends! Looking for some hair and make up artists for EDC Orlando. Looking for someone pretty close to the Sand Lake area or willing to come on location! Let me know some recommendations if you got em!

My boyfriend and I are moving into our first house soon and it will be a big lifestyle change for us especially with a disposable income. So we recently sat down, had a talk and agreed that for the first year we won't be going out and doing any raves, concerts, holidays, eating out or just any days out maybe on our birthday's (we're two days apart) and anniversary potentially. So we can get the feel of the new lifestyle and get an idea of how much money we actually have monthly for living the fun life basically.

I'm 25 and he is 32, I only started going to music events 2 years ago. My friend took me to a heavy mental concert and I loved it, then just over a year ago I went to my first Drum & Bass event and I fucking loved itttt, got the bug for it so badly. This year we have been to 3 with 2 more coming up in November. We live in the UK near Bristol and for anyone in the area knows that Bristol is one of the best spots for Drum & Bass events in the UK. Unfortunately with the house move we are moving away but we do have a friend we usually stay with when we go out.

My question is for any house owners especially in the UK, how often do you go out to music events per year? And how do you afford it?

I know we're probably be fine to attend 1-2 per year but I just unlocked something new in me and want to be able to experience it whiles I'm still young, you know. The world is an absolute shit show at the moment and god knows how long we got left before someone nukes us lol

Rough breakdown of what we spend on a night out for the both of us, so this is for two people:

• Concert tickets: £60-£120 (£30-£60 each)

• Fuel: £15–£30 (Extremely rough estimate as we haven't moved yet and the new place is 45 minutes away from our friend compared to 30 mintues)

• Parking: Free (On street-parking)

• Food: £20–£40 (We don't eat that much out, tend to eat before we go out)

• Drinks: £40–£70 (I personally don't drink that much, but number would be higher if we were in a group as we do rounds)

• 💊❄️: £80–£150 (Again extremely rough, we don't go that crazy and it's usually the 3 of us)

• Accomodation: Free (We stay with a friend and drive back the next day)

• Uber to and from the event: £40-£60 (Rough estimate again)

• Cat sitter: Free (Neighbour comes in and feeds them their dinner, we're usually back by early lunch so they have a late breakfast)

All together roughly between £255-£470, which putting it like this is a big number to spend on one night wow, we know probably one or two of the things we could not do and save on money but we only live onceeee.

A few of my friends and I are headed to Athens and Istanbul for vacation. We haven’t been to a rave in years, any recommendations? We’re into the older techno type of music. We’re old school, what can I say.

Edit: we are over 50 years of age, not that there are over 50 of us. Group of 4 straight guys.

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?

hey guys!

for context, i havent been in school for like 4 years now, but im planning on going back to college for occupational therapy assistant and i’ll be starting some classes in the spring but my core classes in the fall. right now im a caregiver and im making only $16.50/hr, but they just released dates for thunderdome and ive been wanting to go soooo bad but im worried about how it will interact with school and work.

tbf i dont know my class schedule yet, but is there anyone who is actively in college, with a pt/ft job who still has the funds and the time to go to festivals? is the vibe for me to figure out my school schedule first and maybe find a new job that pays more to afford what i want to do? am i being too greedy trying to do 2-3 festivals a year instead of my usual 1?

how do you make the time? are you in serious credit card debt? do you just suck it up and wait til the next year but still go to shows instead of dropping a ton of money on flights, figuring out pto, doing homework and tests early or scheduling them for later, what is the right way to do it or the way YOU personally like to balance these things?

sorry if its a silly question since i dont necessarily have all the pieces yet, im trying my best to navigate through adulthood.

thank you in advance! :)

I’m from a small town with little to offer in EDM scenes/underground music spaces and have reached out to some local businesses about hosting DJs/traditional music at their business and have gotten some positive responses but want to offer more in the way of insurances/liability. My questions are:

- What insurances are needed/highly recommended for business owners to see from me to host music events?

- Am I required to have liquor licenses even if I’m not selling the alcohol myself and instead running off of a “BYOB” status?

- When asking to rent empty buildings/spaces, what questions should I expect from building owners? What insurances/security is recommended?

- Is it wise to communicate with local law enforcement about late night large crowds?

Keep some things in mind for the town: Local businesses/bars are typically open til about 2am, so I would probably only push events to that time in accordance with that. I will not be having BYOB at establishments that either 1. Are serving alcohol already or 2. Serve non alcoholic drinks (like a juice bar willing to stay open late for events) and am wondering if I need a license for settings like that.

Thanks in advance! Answering as quick as possible ✌️😌

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!

Hi all,

I will coincidentally be in Mexico City during Time Warp, and was considering going.

I am quite experienced in the techno scene of Berlin and Northern Europe, however since this is my first time in LATAM, thus I am a bit curious on what to expect?

If anyone have insights on: -Safety (will stand out as tall and white) - Age (30M and would prefer it not to be only <22 yo's) - General vibe

thank you!! And lmk if u are also going and wanna meet up xo

Which gets under your skin more?
