In my opinion, raving is a scene that everyone does not fit into. Its one thing if you go to a pretty lights concert or something with different vibes, but there is nothing like excision, bassnectar, rusko. etc..Although this isnt for everyone it is deffinetly a blast and i think everyone should be able to experience it once.

Be safe and stay hydrated!

lawl deadmau5 is not part of the rave scene. has he ever performed at an afterhours? i doubt it.

i love electronic music but i definitely prefer a small club vibe, compared to a full out rave.

ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND???

I live in Vegas and when Deadmau5 comes to town, shit is OVER! One weekend during the spring, he played three gigs in two days, totaling 10 hours of performing. What the FUCK do you mean "has he ever performed at an afterhours?"????? He re-wrote the goddamn book on Las Vegas afterhours!

Too bad Deadmau5 isn't even a DJ; he is a LIVE ACT. Two completely different things. If you want to take about the best DJs you look at guys like Seth Troxler, Ben Klock, Dixon, Marcel Dettman, etc. Now those are REAL raves, not pre-recorded shit like Dwadmau5!

When did I call Deadmau5 a DJ? When did I mention anything about "best DJs"?

You clearly don't know how he's running his Ableton sessions, so I'm not going to bother arguing with you. I'll simply say that Deadmau5 performs a "live" computer-based, MIDI-driven set. As for your argument about "pre-recorded shit"... what do you think DJs usuing CDs or vinyl are doing? You're making ravers look like idiots... please just shut up.

Ok, let's not get into a fight here. Just saying that Deadmau5 isn't very well respected in the clubbing scene. He might be a great festival show, but you'd never see him playing in a place like The Bunker, or pretty much any club in Europe. To me, a rave is in a club, not at a festival, and in a club guys like the ones I mentioned before dominate. That's just my opinion.

rolled at that one for my first time, having only heard of deadmou5 and only listened to a dubstep song like once before.

ended up not liking the show or drug at all. I couldn't get over how wierd and low class so many of the people were...

but im down to try it again with a legit group of friends. I kind of want to roll and go skiing.

I love raving. I love DJing, I love the scene, I love big raves and small raves.People can feel free to hate on raves all they'd like, that's fine, I couldn't care less- go to a good rave (good production, good DJs) and try to not have a good time... I don't believe it's possible.
Droppin some old school PLUR right there!

yup, if I'm going to a festival or show I definitely know a lot about the artists performing and usually have an extensive knowledge of their tracks/albums/EP's.. I produce and DJ myself so I'm always going because of a love for music, far from some people who just show up with a bag full of drugs..

while it can be a lot of fun, everything in moderation.. I've been to my share of festivals and shows, it's fucking scary seeing people passed out and unconscious, for all I know they ended up dying.. it's fucked..

I'm surprised no one has mentioned nitrous yet either, i'm not hating on everyone who uses it (hippie crack ain't for me) but some of the most fucked up and lowest forms of human life I've seen are after shows people just teeing off on dozens of balloons (after who knows what they've done before)..

I'll never forget after the biscuits show in boston there was a dude with like 8 balloons in his hands just shaking walking around in the middle of four lanes of traffic, mind completely gone.. people honking and screaming in terror, that shit shook me..

whatever you end up doing, try and be as safe as possible.. I know it's not always possible to know exactly what you're taking, at least talk to someone whose taken one from that batch before.. have friends with you, drinking lots of water, don't be stupid..

that being said,
legit response. and ya nitrous is fucked

ya ive rolled face before at shows, not a rave. fun but best night of my life? not by a long long long shot. besides that shit is designed to make you feel great but thats a pretty fake happiness in my opinion. especially when you feel like ass the next day. Ive decided to stay away from it just isnt for me or in line with what I value anymore
well said, i have similar feelings.

I played a rave once and have been to a few.

Hate the scene, the whole glow stick thing, the jeans that look like 2 dress sewn together, the furry animal packpacks, the wristbands that extend all the way up ones arm, the huge platform boots.

Aside from the way to over the top clothing and retarded scene, In my area atleast, the music is mostly hardcore techno, trance, and DnB. Cant listen to that music loud. Yet, I do really enjoy when there is the occasional dubstep/electro DJ.
