FREE PARTIES
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What is a free party?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For those who do not know, a free party is a literal free illegal rave normally based around Europe. Its a collection of people who listen to underground tekno/drum and bass with large rigs that are running of generators. Normal locations include; fields, warehouses and forests.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How is this subreddit different too /r/aves?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This subreddit is a break off from /r/aves.
The reason for me creating this subreddit is because I feel that big raves such as Ultra for example are very different. Keeping the two separate will be able to please both subcultures.
I've seen many people post on /r/aves mentioning free parties and those expecting to see stages and set up as large as "normal" raves get disappointed and then in turn un-necessarily downvote it.

RULES:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1) Don't be a douche nugget
2) NO LEAKING PARTY LINES/LOCATIONS, we don't want the events to get shut down before they even start.
Posts will be removed if you ask if there is a free party at your location. We are a discussion page, you have to find your own way there.
3) Please keep drug references to a minimum. Obviously mentioning the subject will not get you banned, just many people think these events are purely for the drugs which is not true. We are there for the music.

Im not asking for concrete info or contacts but Im generally speaking interested to hear if there is a free party/tekno scene in The Netherlands (especially north) or if it's pretty empty in that sense.
Im thinking about moving there so I was wondering :D
thanks in advance
Got a couple questions feel free to answer any of them if you can.
Why is the French scene so good compared to the uk? Not saying the uk scene is bad but the massive rigs and stage designs in the french scene are next level. Parties seem to go on longer and with less hassle. Is it to do with the laws? The Uk can’t risk their whole systems as it could result in a rig seizure and hefty punishment?
Coming off that. If I were to start a system in the uk, in the distant future. What risks are there? Even for a small local party it would be a shame for such a heavy investment to result in my whole rig being seized and a criminal record always being held over my head. Is it likely? Does the rig seizure process stay as a criminal record? Is this just a risk you have to take?
This was in July 2009 in Kent UK, it took us an hour to get one van up through a narrow track so god knows the mission the police embarked on. They had 9 dog cars, the chief of police, several wagons packed with old bill, police off road vehicles and some seemed to be wearing riot gear. Was all very peaceful and we got to chat to a few of them. They were all on double time as it was Sunday morning and they had spent the night in the towns fighting drunk people and they just wanted to go home. They stayed in the field with us until 4pm as they had run out of breath tests so just calculated when we might be sober
Cops busted the party 30 minutes later
Obviously I’m not asking for any links or direct info for parties but I wash just wondering what the general freeparty scene is like down that way because i’m moving to Malaga at the end of this year. Is there much going on in the south of the country or is it true that the spanish freeparty scene is mainly contained to valencia/murcia regions ?
It was 3 nights of pure fun and good sound !! Approx. 12.000 people and a lot of good soundsystems. Once again the Bretagne region prouves us it can host the best parties. F*ck repression !
Hi. I want to put on a party on the beach in England. It's a few miles away from the town down near a light house no houses around to complain about the noise. What's the crack now a day's doing party's?used to do them back in the day with my 1210s and a generator police always came but done nothing think times have changed so after any advice
This was crazy. It was worth the 10h drive
This january in Belgium in an abandoned quarry. Really nice music and vibe by three soundsystems. Shame some cops fucked the vibe by showing up.
Does anyone know what happened to POD soundsystem? They were based in Surrey and did alot of the ridgeway parties at the end of the 90's and 2000's. Their rig was superb!
these environments are created to enjoy music in unity, against authoritarian powers that are not on the side of the people they claim to serve
we should not be acting against each other !

Hello everybody...
I had a long conversation with a friend the other day about the impact of right wing authoritarian politics and governments in the freeparty culture.
We have upcoming local elections and the right wing party will be a big winner, yaddayadda, sou know how thinks look like all over Europe at the moment.
We were wondering how so many people can be so indifferent to nationalist and authoritarian ideologies, since they are obviously going to crack down hard on freepartys. We've seen that in Italy...
Since i don't really have insight into the italian scene, I'd like to know: How did the law impact you, was there any public discussion about that topic, how did the press and the rest of italy's society react to it?
Feel free to provide articles or sources (i don't speak italian but AI translation will do it's job) too, i'm really curious.
Thanks in advance
Edit: I did see there was a post on this topic a few months back, but i'm interested in new developments and would like to involve new/more people into the discussion...
mods !!! pls regulate the ting
the whole point is that it stays secret!! it’s not gatekept.. instead, it’s passed through the SAFE channels. best to ask ur mates and connections.
if u can’t find a lift, don’t ruin the fun for everyone else. in a world of AI you’d be silly to think you’re not handing the feds what they wanna kno
STEP EVOLUTION 8 - cancelled Unfortunately, we have to inform you that Step Evolution is no happening this year. Despite the previous agreement and approval, the event was canceled by the owner of the land. We are trying to find an alternative space where we would make a similar party for you in the planned line-up. Thank you for your support and participation in the past years and the unforgettable memories we have created together. See you in the summer at other great events. tworba Czech
