For anyone who likes jungle and is not familiar with the UK cult classic film Human Traffic, you must at least see "the jungle scene" https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ChSg0-r_jqA&pp=ygUUSHVtYW4gdHJ...

If you were part of the rave scene, you should watch the whole film, it's full of comedy and nostalgia of those hedonistic times. One of my all time favourite films.

> Fun fact: Unlicensed stations began streaming jungle music from onboard ships off the coast of Britain, hence the expression "pirate radios." Didn't pirate radio broadcast from boats predate Jungle by about 20 years?

It's weird things like using "streaming" instead of "broadcasting", let alone the fact by the time Jungle was invented pirate radio was no longer happening on the seas but had moved to having the "studio" in one high rise block of flats with a point to point link to the actual broadcast site on another, coupled with the general structure and other fantasies makes me question how much of this was LLM generated. I couldn't continue reading after a while.

I've been having a lot of fun learning trackers as a little hobby in the past year with a cheap portable midi keyboard and some samples to play around with. There's just so many resources to learn from these days on youtube which didn't exist 5-10 years ago and I guarantee you if you have the time for it you can go from downloading renoise and a bunch of samples to bumping out some songs within a week or two of learn…

Good stuff here, and if you don't have decent headphones/speakers, it just won't sound the same. For anyone needing an excellent subwoofer, check out RSL Speedwoofer 10e ($299) or 10s. What a world of difference a good sub makes.

Really the best sound test is done on a few things though, you also want to see how it sounds on whatever consumer audio solutions you have sitting around (the car especially is a good test)

I didn't intend someone taking away from that no fresh music was being made. I simply said that the parties of old are no longer happening, so that experience isn't available to them. I'm constantly listening to new music, and I've come up with lots of new tracks that will make a helluva set list, one day. Problem I have is only owning 1200s, and none of the gear to let those drive digital files. My discretionary fun…

Ehhh, raves are definitely still a thing in Vancouver at least

I can second Vancouver, and will raise you any big city in the USA - most of Latin America as well. Only thing that changes as usual is regionally based music tastes, though I find that people actually dance a hell of a lot more outside the anglosphere

Europe is a given but I hear Asia is popping off too. I have friends in Oceania who do some work around the scene. Really it's all over the world, people never stopped partying it just goes a little more underground here and there

> that era was so raw and fresh, the future was being invented right there! Very happy days I've been told by several Gen-Z that they've never been to a "rave", and I feel sorry for them. In my town, we had quite the underground scene, but then times changed and it is so much smaller now. Now, "kids" just call it all EDM instead of the specific genre that we know and love.

Gentrification and moral panic killed warehouse parties and raves.

>Gentrification and moral panic killed warehouse parties and raves.

With my experience as a Polish Gen Z member, gentrification has only made raves MORE popular in here in A.D. 2024.

Bored kids out of good homes, eh...

I think this was also on the Mortal Kombat movie OST (another hidden gem from the 90's; not the movie, the soundtrack).
