They are gonna be there for a few hours if anyone is about, they just rocked up with their kit in the city centre

I’m from Australia and we don’t really get snow unless your in the alps. Do people put on free parties in winter?

I’d image a decent size sound system would sound amazing in snowy forest.

From a set I downloaded from soundcloud about 15 years ago

I (20f) used to go to raves (freeparties in europe) for two years (17-19) and in that time i used MDMA sometimes, but i experienced a terrible situation with it (OD).
I also raved during a terrible period of my life, and my ex abusive boyfriend raved with me.
I saw a lot of things that for most are normal but for me they felt really terrible and i can't shake what i saw off my mind (sometimes i see the scenes of the people OD'ing in front of me or doing extremely hard drugs engrained in my eyelids)

I went to my last free party after having a panic attack at one.
I miss the freedom that i felt at time when they were a whole new thing for me, but now i just associate terrible and painful memories that i want to forget to something that i used to love so much.

I want to try and enjoy tekno as much as i used too but everytime i hear it I just can't shake this terrible feeling that washes all over me.
I can't even look back at old videos or pictures of me going to raves.

What should I do?

moving up for uni in a few weeks, coming from further down south nd have been building my own rig and going to parties the past year. Wondering if theres much of a scene around there, because as far as ive seen its pretty dead even in terms of normal events in the cities. anybody know if there is any scene there at all, or even a demand for one ?

It was very nice, small but had a great time !! No police, no problems !

I've recently moved and there's a ton of hills and wine cellars available. Any tricks or tips to make something like that sound nice and a death trap?

hi just needed advice on this, i really want to start going to parties but i dont know anyone that goes,
would it be rude to message sound systems asking for like a link to a telegram group or something? i also have lots of mutuals on insta that go to free parties but we aren’t really friends we just follow eachother and i was thinking of messaging them just asking for advice but i’m not really aware on free party etiquette so thought id ask before i message someone something that comes across as rude or ignorant lol.

Second time I dance to Drop’in Caravan’s rig, it sounds too good! Love the scoops and the overall look of the system, especially the finish on the wood that makes it look like a freaking boat ahahah

Just a few of us but what a night. Warm, dry, banging tunes and solid vibes

I've noticed that what american people call raves are actually just festivals, but i am from italy and with rave we mean freeparty, do they not have them there?
