Thread: whats the best rave you've ever been to??

Mine has to be time warp in Germany this year!

Richie Hawtin is the best dj in the world!!!

That initial drum loop he fades in is hard as fuck. I wanna rip that, go home an beat make till my ears bleed!

Reminds me of this old beat:

Ha, back in the day, early 90's York and Ripon racecourses held an event called Galactica, absolutely wicked events, with appearances from the likes of Basshead's, Felix etc, never forget them days, bit old for them now

If only I could remember any of them I'd love to tell you!

I was fortunate to have one of the best uk clubs on my doorstep (until it got shut down) and we'd have a big name in there most weeks. It was an old theatre and the colosseum style layout was brilliant.

I didn't know raves were still popular. Can't say I've been to or heard of one since the late 90's.

I've never been to an actual rave. But I have been off my head in nightclubs before. That kind of music is utter garbage, but it does sound kind of okay when you are out of your mind on drugs. I would mutilate a CD player if anyone tried to play that in my home though.

Miles once again we agree.


I don't go to raves because I am not gay and when I drink I prefer to drink like a MAN and not have vodka red bulls or whatever fruitcake drinks those dope smokin' morons are drinking.

I've noticed this much drugged out people can make great music but drugged out people can listen to crap for extended periods of time....I for one used to like Phish, not that I'd ever go to one of their concerts.

I like to run to some techno - prodigy, astral projection, crystal method. Decent up beat stuff to zone out to while I'm logging the miles but I can't say I ever just put it on in the car or house to listen to. And yeah going to Raves was a lot more about some recreation drugs and ease of finding a female companion for the night.

Oscar's on Clacton Pier - epic 90s Rave venue.

Oh my days, how good is this..........

I haven't been to a good rave in ages. Still have a soft spot for disco biscuits! Just not practical now a days, my recovery times are too long and I need to function daily in my life now.

Had some great times back in the day. Can't beat some stomping hard style to release your stress after a long week.

Where I live in Leeds there is a very good rave scene! Liverpool has a very good one too! The mint club in Leeds is great fun!!! Spent a lot of my Uni time there !

Yeah this answer.

Different in my day, when off our faces its was usually on deserted beaches or out in farmland and forest areas under a full moon, with a fire and old style space rock going . Hawkwind, Amon dull 2 ,Sabbath, that sort of stuff. Totally different drugs too, Opium, black Hash, Blonde Lebanese, or Clear light, brown pyramids the real deal solid form Lsd, 8 hours of lift offs.



Here this is the closest we ever got to a rave. Sort of the similar I suppose.
