This subreddit is dedicated to free parties. We are here to discuss rig set-ups, successful parties and interesting news/law on the subject.

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.

We are here to discuss rig set-ups, successful parties and interesting news/law on the subject.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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.

Abounded buildings

All as a hypothetical Ofc. If I were to get into an abandoned building with emergency lights on (green ones with exit signs) what’s the likely hood of that building still being on the grid and able to use the power from it. If that doesn’t work could I use the 12v circuit from the lights and splice it into a socket or am I still going to need a generator?

Building a system

I’m planning on building a rig in the coming future and I just want a reference point for how big of a rig I’d need, it’ll be playing whatever and wherever. I was thinking 6 x1 bass bins then the mids and tops being something or other. Will that do for 50 odd people or should I go more bins or what? I’m open to any suggestions since nothing been made yet apart from 3 10” subs and mid/ top end for my bedroom which bump for the one room. I’m new to all of this and if I’m doing free parties mainly why not post here and see what people like for any music genre

I miss teknivals :(

I’ve been to a few in the Czech Republic, Germany and Italy around 2004-2006. Since then I’ve moved to the US and this stuff is almost unheard of here :( Even finding one night party with hardtek/tribe/proper is pretty much impossible. I only know of one event called mutant fest but haven’t managed to make it there yet. Boooooooo Hope y’all had an amazing summer in Europe. Maybe one day I'll visit again… although having lost touch will all of my tekno friends thats gonna be hard.

Help research on Free Partys (Raves)

Hello

I am currently helping an Italian researcher who is working on rave culture in Europe. I am looking for legal texts about illegal parties (raves). The reason for this is the new laws in Italy, some of which provide for severe penalties for ravers and organisers. If anyone knows some paragraphs or precedents/court judgements or fun facts. It would be great if you could share them with us.

Feel free to write your experiences from your country as a comment, even if you have no evidence. A reference of law is of course welcome :)

Also positive examples or tolerances.

Thank you very much!

Konstantin
