I'm going to Halloweenball in Vegas again this year. I went in '09 and was nuts, though way too crowded. This year they moved to South Point and a much bigger room. Went with my buddy in 09, maybe solo this year...wooooot!

IMO raves were cool before they were corporatized, and streamlined artists like deadmau5 and skrillex began repping the 'rave' crowd (and Jersey Shore promoted the fist-pump).

if you have to pay to get in, and there are signs or posters promoting it in clear view of everyone, its not a rave. Its an electronic music concert.

The best raves I went to were open parties in the fields of Holland and S. France, mid-late 90s. had to know someone to find it. good times...

Real raves have been gone for quite awhile now, sadly.

I'm big on drum and bass.

You're right. I was mistaken to call it a rave.

not rippin on you buddy; just expressing my thoughts toward the whole marketing scheme of the electronic concerts nowadays.

To answer your question though, I'm a huge trance fan. not big on house, and D&B is cool when i feel like changing it up.

I grew up with a lot of classical music so my appreciation for trance lies in the way the structures take their time and develop much like classical music does. If Edvard Grieg was a robot he'd have composed trance epics.

Went to many east coast raves in the 90's from NYC to Miami.

Still enjoy the music but I just don't want to be the old guy in the club.

Lost in my little but not that controlled Portugal you can still find some proper raves.
100% unlicensed,only word of mouth and networking to get there, and the usual rave massacre while a self-taught chemist in some caravan cooks all the shit that we can
Nowadays i live in the UK and i know a few old skool ravers, Exodus collective and some others even before that, that keep saying to me that went the rave scene went massive it was already big business with plenty of illegal activities involved.
This said there are plenty of good electronic music gatherings all over the planet.
Freedom and Boom fest in Portugal
Universo Paralelo in Brazil
Sonnar in Barcelona
Just to mention a few
