I live on the east coast and attend parties on a regular basis. Over the past few years I've watched so many kids fall out of the scene and the other half is just a bunch of bitter hags who stand around bitchn'. I feel like I'm one of the only dancers left on the floor. I'm not jaded though, I'll still go out there and dance like a wild indian ready to crush any e-tard in my path.Just wondering...what's the situation in your nec of the woods... thanks---->Donna |

there are raves on the east coast? i moved from detroit because the party scene there crashed and caught fire and then flew into a building (i know, i know, i'm sorry) so i figured some good fresh air would help me with my music... i wish i'd known about low tide before i left... i woulda gone somewhere else |

Yes Titsworth I've been to Starscape for the last 2 yrs,went to Radiate...I'm a part of Lovelab ...my friend Teak is good buddies with Lonnie,and that whole Ultraworld crew...they're good people |

Not much of a scene here... 5 hours away, in Halifax, I guess there's raves. But they suck... I don't see the appeal. And the music is AWFUL. When I try to get people into electronic music like Aphex and BOC, they won't even give these great artists a chance, because they assume electronic music = RAVE music, which isn't true at all. |

its all the bull shit 4-on-the-floor beats with repetitive trance melodies that gives electronica a bad name!!! |

ya raves are pretty popular in toronto ive never been to one, and dont plan on it though i dont really like dance music.. im not a big dancer i prefer to sit still and listen, perhaps taping my foot if im in a really energetic mood |

I used to party a lot, here in the NY area, but either I grew up or the scene got worse. I still love drum 'n bass and breaking, but trance and house music make me physically ill, and because I don't really take any E any more I have to actually listen to it in order to dance. I'm an elitist IDM bastard now, and I don't think I'll be going to another party for a while unless the DJ has a laptop. =) |

I don't like dance music... IDM may have ''dance'' in there, but in no way would I consider it that. I can't dance to Port Rhombus or Vletmrx21... IDM is a moronic term. I like early Aphex, the simpler stuff that you COULD dance to, but even THAT has some aspects that set it apart from normal ''dance'' crap that you hear at raves. |

I went to a lot of raves for a while and had some good times, but it's just not worth it for me. The utopian rave scene would be bliss, but nobody really cares about the good times and the shared experience; everyone's either lookin for party to get fucked up at or else they use the rave scene to continue the clique-oriented elitist mindstate that they pick up in highschool. Fuck all that. I do imagine Goa might still have some wild and peaceful party atmosphere still. Could you imagine raving at the beach next to some ancient ruins in India? |

the rave seen is dead because it became popular, they used to be so much fun. now its just a bunch of fuckheads that don't even care about the music |
||||||||

I like dance music like Daft Punk, Underworld, and Orbital... that stuff is good... but I don't dance to it, I just listen... the dance beats get me all excited though, it's cool... |

There's this chubby guy that I always see on the bus. He listens to rave music on his discman... all I ever hear is that n ts n ts n ts n ts n ts beat OVER AND OVER. Every track! So I just feel tempted to rip the headphones out of his ears, grab Autechre out of MY discman (which I don't turn up loud enough for anyone to hear, unlike THAT rude bugger!), and yell ''here's some REAL electronic music, you damn tool!'' I am psychotic. |

I'll give that fucker some Thorazine!!! I'll shove it down his bad dance music throat!!! I'll stick Chiastic Slide up his ass, it'll be the closest he ever got to having good music!!! Grrrooowwwwlll!!! |

haha... you so crazee!!!! |

its not even electronic music at that stage - its like a blue kraft dinner in musical form - "supposedly for 'creative' people - but moderated for the masses to prevent any creativeity from emerging" |

Xanatos: My friend Ed(UFO!) just moved to NYC You said you like d&b and he has a laptop by his side at all his gigs his music style is abstract. Have you ever given his music a listen? |
||||||||

Ophecks: I can relate on trying to get others to listen to true electronic music. I have this friend Teak,he's been Djing for over 10yrs, plays house music and when I try and get him to give the Aphex a listen he can't stand it won't even let me play it in his car and I don't understand why he can't appreciate it. Grrrrrrrrr!!! |

i realized a couple months ago that i've alienated myself from most people who listen to electronic music because they listen to stuff you can dance to and i don't (listen to that; not dance). i feel like i don't even like "techno" at all cos i hear some rave/club/house stuff and it makes me sick, worse than the state of commercial rock music right now. i guess i've been spoiled by brainy music. |
||||||||

i refuse to set foot anywhere near a rave. my friend mentioned they had one around here but i don't feel compelled to spend the evening with E addicts and shitty trance music. |

Aron: When i lived in stoon there was a pretty good rave scene there... Im not much into the whole love everyone xtc paking gueer ass thing they got going... but I like the dancing... and some of the djs are alright... oddly enuf... the headliners always suck in my oppinion. |
||||||||

Titsworth: I know what you mean, I don't ever tell people that I listen to techno, because of what they would associate that with. Donna Simpson: No, I've never heard it, would it be available online? |
||||||||

Word Xanatos.. When i tell people i listien to electroinic music the first thing they say is "so you listen to techno?". Fuck that makes me soo mad!! I hate techno!! and i make sure that the differences are clear. |

i don't have a problem with the empathetic community love thing, but it's just not real. ecstacy always makes me feel that everything is suddenly all good, but when i come down i realize that whatever it is that keeps us from feeling that way all the time is not being healed by ecstacy, only and repressed and denied. this leads to mad prpblems, and when i'm at a rave i feel like i'm swimming in those problems. |

I dont do e... done it once... but i wont again.. it was alright... nothing spectacualer tho... and deffinetly not worth the damage it can cost. |
||||||||
|

i'm pretty sensitive and my e experiences were far more intense than most of the people i was with. i don't regret any of it, but i'd never fall back on it again. |

Ophecks, u gotta point there, man. damn people think techno implies rave! arg! |

Blue Calx: You are so right! I told my friend once that I liked electronic music and he suddenly gets the impression that it's techno. Im like...ITS NOT TECHNO!!!!!!!!! And I was thinking about getting a custom t-shirt that read on the back "It's Not Techno" ... and I still am. I would love that. Should do it one day. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Amonbrune: We should start an "its not techno dammit!!" club up. Ill get a shirt made too. Then we can spread the word threwout the glob.... well.... at least canada |

Blue Calx: You are so right again. They all go to this mega mainstream electronica and its like "WHOA GUYS!! Check out this neat-o sound. Never heard THAT before have ya?" "Uh...thats a spoon?" "Oh" |

Most rave scenes seem to have a built-in 2yr life span...kinda like the incept date for the Replicants in Bladerunner... People get burnt-out, E's stop working and the whole thing kinda collaspes...it a pretty widly documented phenomen; you have your "Honeymoon Period" & then you have a time of "Darkness"; this seem to happen all over...London, Manchester, Berlin, New York... I'm just happy they used to play a lot of Aphex/Caustic Window at the Raves I used to go to... |
