 Coolness: 2603930 | RAVE NEWS - NOVEMBER 28TH 2011
STAGE FRIGHT Hidden within one of Montreal's beautiful autumn spaces, the bass pounding rhythmically and lights gyrating colourfully, the ravers cheered emphatically. Another fun Free Party outdoors, stars shining, moon waning, wood cracking - and then the horror. At 3:16 am last Saturday, in a wooded area near Hochelaga-Maisoneuve, the stage built 8 hours earlier by a crew of 6 people suddenly collapsed. The stage housed a DJ Booth, 4 speakers and 2 sub-woofers, as well as 8 large canvases placed for decoration and two black-lights. 5 people were injured, including the Disc-Jockey who suffered a broken arm and a fractured shin. The stage was about 5 feet off the ground, the back-drop structure fencing the back part of the stage was another 6 feet above that. The entire structure was pieced together with 2x4 beams of wood and other planks of wood. Witnesses also attest to seeing tree branches and tent-poles in a few places as well. Of the 6 people who put the stage together, only 1 had experience in building such structures, and the job of creating the stage was completed within 3 hours. Some people who questioned the promoter of the event upon their arrival say he claimed that the stage was safe and sound, tried and tested, before the party began. The opening DJ admitted that he was told to get up on the stage and begin only 20 minutes after the structure was completed, "I really didn't feel safe, but I bounced around a bit during the first tune to check, and it seemed solid - aside from a few creaks I thought I heard, but it was hard to tell with the loud music". It wasn't until the 4th DJ got up onto the stage, bringing his girlfriend with him, that the structure seemed to sway and cave with the weight of him, his girl, the previous DJ , and his 2 friends. One of these friends overheard his buddies talking "Dude, I'm done, lets get off of this thing, it ain't fuckin' safe". 15 minutes later, just as the song that was playing dropped the kick drum back into the mix, one of the two criss-crossing beams beneath the stage gave way and the entire structure canted to the right. Off balance, and presumably drunk, the DJ onstage stumbled with his full weight falling to the left, and as yelps of shock from the crowd overtook the music, creaks and grunts of strained wood joined them. The speakers tumbled forward into the crowd, the stage collapsed inward, and the back-drop fell every which way as it was pulled awkwardly by the decorative canvas stapled onto it. Complete Disaster. Total destruction. One of the Turntables had fallen on the Dj, causing his leg injury, as his right arm was sunk into the debris. For one minute, no one moved. Luckily one responsible raver, known as Alexandre, trained as a First-Response Paramedic pushed his way through to the front of the crowd and began assessing and nursing wounds. Due to the injuries, an ambulance was called, but only nearby, as the promoters scrambled to put the sound-system back into place on ground level, hoping to continue the party. The injured were helped by their friends over to the paramedics who seemed stunned, "We arrived at the scene at 3:45, heard some sort of Techno music off in the woods, but our priority was taking care of the injured individuals. There were mostly cuts, bruises, and splinters, except for two people with fractured limbs, and one with a broken arm." The paramedics also said that only 2 of the people hurt went to the Hospital, the other 3 returning into the woods. Assuming there was something strange going on, the Ambulance driver contacted the Police to inform them of the incident. Law enforcement arrived on the scene at approximately 6:00 am. They arrived to an empty clearing just beyond some trees. "We found a big pile of wood, abandoned. We could not tell what it was supposed to be at first, originally assuming it was intended to be used for a bonfire. Obviously, we put 2 and 2 together and realized it was a stage-like structure that had collapsed". They claim that the stage's construction material was a mixture of rotting wood, planks, branches, rope, nails, screws, and 2x4's. Shoddy, at best. In the days following the event, all the pieces of the puzzle came together. The structure was designed on the spot by the one person, aided by 5 others who knew nothing of construction. It was also done in a rush, the extra materials scavenged from the surrounding area. 4 of the helpers admitted to being high or drunk at the time. In total, only a dozen screws and about 20 nails were used to keep it all together. There was over 1000 pounds of material on the stage. Approximately 400 pounds of material was used to build the stage. With a DJ or two thrown on the stage, the result was a very fragile, top-heavy, poorly built structure that was doomed to fail. Another raver later told me "I fuckin' told [the promoter] that if he couldn't afford professionals, then he shouldn't have a damn stage at this party. But no, he told me he needed a stage, that it was all part of the trance". Luckily, there were no more injuries, and none too severe. The party continued 30 minutes after the incident, but many patrons had already departed. Within 45 minutes after the music had restarted, everyone had left. One witness stated "Dude, the vibe was awful, I mean, we got hurt friends and a big shit pile of wood next to us, plus half the speakers were fucked! We got out of there man". Both the promoter and person in charge of the stage building refused to comment. Shakespeare once wrote "All the world's a stage", but what he failed to mention was that it isn't a very well built one. |

KIDS ARE UNITED The history of Montreal's Rave scene is manic-depressive at best, fraught with all the ups and downs imaginable. The past decade has been equally riddled with giant events and complete failures, drugs and a lack of, no alcohol and BYOB, friendship and jealousy, PLUR mongering and over-competitiveness, awesome DJs and total incompetence. However, we may have reached the dawn after a long night. Let's begin with the all pervasive Dubstep scene. With humble beginnings at the hands of Forward Music and BassDrive, this scene soon exploded with a new generation of party-goers coming of age. Even though some of the old-schoolers feel a little lost and left behind in this young new crowd, the enthusiasm of the patrons of all ages is spectacular. This kind of popularity can breed alot of drama and in-fighting, competition and sabotage, but even though these things are unavoidable, they've been kept at a bare minimum. Working both together and apart, many productions are keeping a united front, such as BassDrive, The Session, Dubmachine, Bouddha Slinky, Big Tooth, Monkey Dub and others. Some of whom also branch out into Drum'n'Bass, along with the BeatFreakz crew over at [ [ djweb.tv ] ] and the old CTRL gang doing a new Friday night D'n'B gig. They all represent this new era of breaky bass driven music. Hard work and lots of love all around. Hardcore Techno has always occupied a dark place in Montreal's heart, but that is not to say that those who promote the music are evil people. A recent meeting took place in which the heads of the Hardcore scene gathered to discuss the future. With representation from Quebecore, NTK, Deadna, Datagram, CSR, and Hard-Times, among others, this calm round table discussion over dinner proved the Zen mastery of some of the hardest DJs in this city. A consensus was reached to avoid stepping on one another's toes, to breathe new life into this zombiefied style of never-give-up music and attitude, and to help each other in all endeavors. They also agreed that anyone else trying their hand at Hardcore should also be cradled and supported. They represent the future of distortion. They are the gatekeepers of Raver Hell. That leaves us with the other current and abundant genre of Rave oriented Techno. Though some may not appreciate it when a Pystrancer starts to talk about the universe, one has to admit that their presence on a dance-floor and in event production is as equally enthusiastic and exciting as the aforementioned, if not more so. For the past few years, summer in Montreal means Psy. Festivals aplenty, these people still manage to not over-step boundaries, still manage to gather many Ravers together at every occasion. In fact, this past year Pandemonium boasted at least three prominent promoters uniting to bring good music to good people. Under the banner of psychedelics, an unsaid truce has insured near constant parties on successive weekends without any overlap. They don't DIY, they DIT; not do-it-yourself but do-it-themselves, wherein the individual, though duly recognized, is merely a gear in the clockwork that is Psytrance. There are many other types of Techno (Electro, Jungle, Breaks, Techno, Breakcore, Happy Hardcore, Industrial etc.), many other promoters, productions, DJs, and artists, all of whom after years of some rifting and competing have come together harmoniously and wisely. Many of these other promoters throw events with a multitude of styles. Never before have so many DJs befriended each other. Though Ravers might not be as numerous as they were only a short decade ago, the people behind the scenes have never been as united, despite their individual tastes and ambitions. That said, there will always be misunderstandings, ego-trippers, profiteers, and people with bad intentions. Humans are what they are and society is what it is, and so drama is unavoidable, even contrived out of boredom or insanity, perhaps sometimes entertaining. However, most have realized that for the body of Raves to stay healthy, all the organs must be taken care of and functional. Your heart won't beat without air in your lungs. Keep stepping up and our scene may, after all, not fall out of step. |

ARE VAGINA CUPCAKES THE PERFECT RAVER SNACK? ST-HENRI - Erin Schiefer is a B.C native who landed in Montreal with stars in her eyes. "When I first got here in 2008, I had big dreams", says Erin, "but I never expected to become the rave scenes number one pastry provider." Ms. Schiefer has been fattening up ravers since she first landed in town back in 2008. "I started by making 8-bit themed cookies and snacks. Zelda cupcakes, pac-man candies, that sort of thing. I was just selling to a few local stores and to friends, but one day, I was at a party and this skeevy happy hardcore promoter hit on me", recounts Erin. "And he was really vulgar. He mentioned wanting to eat something of mine that I won't repeat. At first, I was too shocked to say anything, but later that day... an idea struck me and I spent the whole night baking." And that's how vagina cupcakes were born. "Baking them was my way of dealing with being harassed by a creepy pervert. I was just letting off steam, I never expected them to be such a hit, but everyone I knew wanted to eat them. They were especially popular with ravers. Ravers like eating naughty bits, especially when they're made of chocolate and covered in sugar." Jarred Vandervelden, a local promoter, was an early enthusiast of the x-rated pastries. "The moment I first saw her cupcakes, I knew I had to sell them at my party. I had her bake up over three hundred and they were all gone within the first two hours." Vagina cupcakes were only the beginning for Erin. "Once I realized how disturbed the Montreal rave scene was, I started baking up all sorts of weird treats. You'd be surprised by how many ravers buy my goatse cakes. I sold ten of them last week." Our gifted baker has plans to open up a store. "Right now, three promoters are carrying my baked goods. I should have enough saved up by next summer to finally open up my shop." says Erin, a smile on her face. "I'm going to call it Raver's Delight." |

RAVE-OCALYPSE NOW Calling the 'End Of The World' is an age old tradition, recently accentuated by the ending of the Mayan calendar in December of 2012. However, cult-like groups and apocalyptic predictions have finally hit Montreal's Rave scene. There is a crew of Neo-Ravers calling themselves The Last, who have come up with their own theory about the end of times. They re-arranged the, now popular, Mayan calculations with shifting numbers that were left out of the original equation and have determined that the apocalypse will, in fact, hit on January 1st 2012. Dave, the group's spokesperson, told us that "Their calculations left out important factors, milliseconds of time that when added up get us a number that is 11 months ahead of the predetermined date set by the Mayans". Having only realized this a few months ago, they are quickly gearing up for their final days. "Some of us have studied and participated in many different religions, groups, work-shops, theological points of view, and music scenes, and have discovered that only Raves include the basis of enlightened living; hallucinogenics, hypnotic techno, and night-time. Only because of these experiences have we been able to realize the errors the Mayans made. To think we almost missed it! We will connect on the last night, with music and natural drugs. We will become one, and be saved". This kind of cult creation is nothing new, however this particular group has announced a dangerous event. They are putting together what they say is the final Rave, the last night to party, and in the morning all will be destroyed. "Fire cleanses us of evil. We will burn the venue, and bask in the heat that the Gods bestow upon us, rather than suffer the deep cold that they will use to punish the non-believers" says Jenn, Dave's concubine. The event is, of course, slated to take place December 31st, 2011. They are naming it after themselves: The Last. Only a handful of people actually follow this cult, but many are trying to create awareness, as they see their friends on the 'attending' lists on various Internet pages for the event. "I don't think Ravers really know what this party is about" states Robert, a Rave promoter in Montreal. He goes on "I see people I know that want to go, and I have to send them all messages, warning them that this is no joke, not some cool theme. These people really plan on killing themselves". Ravers have never called the Police for anything, but some are considering getting the law involved. "It's just insane" says Robert, lighting a smoke with a shrug. "Unfortunately, with all the New Year's Eve parties going on, some people have been sucked into the trap, smoke-screened by the sheer amount of activities in the city, and others might follow". When asked about the consequences of their actions in the case that The Last might be wrong, Dave answered "We're right, we know we're right. We're more connected to the Earth than anyone else, and it's telling us it's the end for humans. You don't believe me? You will suffer then" With that, the interview was over. This situation has occurred around the globe on many occasions, the most famous being the Jonestown Massacre. None of these suicide cults have ever been right, and everyone is pretty sure that The Last are no more informed that any drugged out Meth-head or religiously-blinded person might be in thinking about such things. The Last think themselves mathematicians and theologians, but not one of the crew has any more than a High School Diploma. They also act as though Raving holds all answers, spoken to in trances - by what we know is their own subconscious. But, Ravers know that Raves are just supposed to be about music and having a good time. Immolation does not seem like a good time. We normally don't editorialize, but as a public service, we ask you all to avoid this event; avoid getting brain-washed by these dangerous misinformed individuals, and go out and have fun on New Year's Eve. The Earth and all it's inhabitants will still be here on January 1st, guaranteed. The Ravers who cry wolf will probably not be around when the real deal hits town. |

“I’m young. I’m beautiful, if there is a time to have fun, it’s right now” Caitlin said as she loaded up her pink ipod with this week’s latest and most fashionable tunes. “I go out four, sometimes five times a week, depending on the week”. “My favorite genre is dubstep, I’ve been into it for over a year, so I’m old school in the scene” She described the genre as “kind of like slow hip-hop, but with much more bass and less vocals”. Caitlin is a 19 year old self-described party girl. While the average person her age may go out one or two times a week, her life revolves around the bar and party scene. The CEGEP student explained “I took this semester off basically to party. It’s hard to balance school and the scene, I wanted to give the scene a chance”. Caitlin was not shy about her drug and alcohol use. “Using drugs is part of the scene, part of the music. The music is simple, it is meant to be heard in a certain way, with a drink in one hand and a bump of K in the other”. K is a slang term for Ketamine, a tranquilizer used on small animals during surgery. Once processed from its liquid stage, it becomes a white powder similar to cocaine. Most users choose to inhale it using a straw or rolled up bill. “I start every day with a small bump, I call it a wake-me-up bump” Caitlin said as she laid out a small quantity of powder on to her kitchen table. “It doesn’t affect me too badly, as long as I don’t drink too much alcohol”. “Everyone in the dubstep scene does K, it’s kind of weird if you don’t, the bars don’t really care as long as you don’t do it in the open” Caitlin went on to describe her ‘battle scars’. “I’m partially deaf in my left ear. It happened when I drank loads of jaggermeister and did a bump of K at a dubstep night a few months ago. I passed out next to the speaker. People just left me there. When I finally came to, at 3am, I heard a loud ringing sound in my ear. It hasn’t gone away that much, but I’m used to it. The doctor said if I am careful the hearing might come back, but it’s hard to not go out!”. Caitlin then pointed to a scar on her left leg. “This happened when I fell down the stairs leaving a club. I had done some K and it was hard to walk. I cut myself when I hit the ground, and needed 5 stitches. I was so high they didn’t need to use any pain killer, I felt nothing”. Not everyone in the scene has been as lucky as Caitlin. At a recent dubstep party thrown in a converted warehouse in the outskirts of the city, a 15 year old girl overdosed on what she had thought was ketamine. After testing, large quantities of quinine, an anti-malaria drug, were found. She arrived at hospital in critical condition, as she had laid unconscious for over an hour before her friends brought her to the emergency room. “It’s normal to leave people passed out at parties” Caitlin said. “When you do lots of K, you end up in what is called a K-hole, and you just lie there”. “There was no way to know if the girl at that party was really sick” Caitlin went on to explain the relationship between the dubstep scene and ketamine. “Most of the promoters are dealers, to be quite frank. When I pick up K, I usually get tickets for that week’s shows from the same person”. “It’s convenient, I guess”. When asked about her studies, Caitlin explained “When the party stops, I will go back to school. It might be a while. I don’t think the dubstep scene is going to go away any time soon”. |

RAVER CAMPS Right wing firebrand and evangelical preacher Jeoffrey Dizon made headlines this weekend after delivering a fiery sermon on the sins of raving to his congregation in Red Dear, Alberta. In a fit of pique, the colourful preacher told his flock that ravers are a threat to all things holy, and then suggested that Canada would be better off if the police would round them up and place them in concentration camps. News of his calls for raver camps leaked out to the press, and a firestorm followed. "Raving leads to sodomy. It leads to debauchery. It leads to sin and it leads to sorrow. If we don't put a stop to it, countless souls will be lost to heaven. It might seem heavy handed to imprison ravers, but we have to quarantine them or their decadent dancing disease will spread, causing countless more people to fall into perdition. A few years in a camp dedicated to prayer and Godliness is a small price to pay in order to protect people from an eternity in the bowels of hell." said Dizon when contacted by Rave News. His congregation of middle aged hicks were glowing in their praise for their controversial preaher. One man, who refused to give a name, recounted a story about how he lost his son to raving. "He was a hard working student. He got straight As, did his homework, he was a loving son who went to church every Sunday. Then one day, he sneaked out and went to this rave over in Edmonton. Now he spends his nights fellating strangers in bath houses and giving handjobs to homeless people. The only time we see him is he needs to borrow money, which we never give him, because we know he'll just spend it on crystal meth. Raving destroyed our son. It turned him into a drug addled buggerer and fellater of men. A pox on partying. Dizon is right. I failed to put the love of God in my kid, and now he's just full of the sins of man. If we had raver camps, I'd send my boy to one of them in a heartbeat." Needless to say, not everyone has been so receptive of Dizon's sermon. One Red Dear citizen, Emily Mason, was outspoken in her criticism of the small town preacher. "Everyone has a right to party. We live in a free country, and if I want to go to a rave and snort cocaine off my friend's chest while pumping my fist in the air to an awesome Skrillex remix, I should be allowed to. Dizon's a fascist." Some party goers were more open to Dizon's idea, like Ashton Duchene, a 19 year old raver from Calgary. "A camp for ravers? If the DJ line up was off the hook, I'd go." When he was informed that there'd be no music, just bibles, he shrugged his shoulders and laughed. "Where there's ravers, there's music. No exception. If they tried to silence us, we'd just find a way to turn the bibles into turntable, and then we'd spin some righteous beats. God is a DJ, and he loves dubstep." |

THE GROADIE GRAFFITI GANG Underground party promoters are grappling with a gang of groady graffiti artists who have been terrorizing their outdoor events this summer. The trouble all started when the promoters threw a party under a bridge that they didn't know was frequented by the tagging and bombing crowd. When the spraypaint mafia made their usual rounds to get their art on, they were dismayed to find their cherished bridge swarming with pacifier sucking ravers. Witnesses say that a group of five noticably intoxicated graffiti artists swaggered into the party, started yelling at random dancers before one of their crew zeroed in on a dancing female party goer. One raver, Jeremy Paval, gave us a detailed account of what he saw. "This girl was just dancing to some happy hardcore when one of the guys walked over to her, pushed her on to the ground, and kicked her right in the face. She was bleeding everywhere. After that, a half dozen of us start running towards the guy who attacked her, and his friends join in, and suddenly it's this huge brawl. I didn't take part in the fight, but I followed the action. We managed to chase them out of the party, which is when it got weird. There's a field not too far from the bridge, which is where the five graffiti guys went. Not all at once though -- four of the thugs were a good fifty feet ahead of the one who kicked that girl in the head. When that guy finally met up with his four friends, they immediately jumped him, and yanked down his pants. It looked like they were about to rape him up the ass. When his knickers were around his ankles, one of his four attackers yelled out 'What are we doing?! That's my brother, man!'. The guy that was about to be buggered pulled up his underwear, got his pants back on, and the five of them started running again. It was weird." That was the first party the graffiti artists crashed, but they've been harassing the promoters ever since. One of them, who refuses to be named, told us it wasn't a big deal. "Yeah, they showed up at a few of our parties, trying to stir trouble, but nothing as bad as what happened the first time. We've beefed up our security for all our outdoor parties. Everyone's making a big deal out of nothing. " Some ravers remain unconvinced. "They say were safe, but are we really? Who knows when those graffiti guys are going to attack again. Next time, it might be me they kick in the face, it might be you. Until they're in jail, we'll never be able to party in peace." |

GHOSBUSTED A Ghostbuster fan and longtime raver was arrested outside a Kentucky Fried Chicken over the weekend after someone mistook him for a gun wielding psychopath. The raver in question, a 35 year old psytrance freak and cult 80s movie enthusiast, was dressed up in an authentic Ghostbuster outfit he had purchased off eBay. The outfit included a replica of the proton gun that the characters of the 1984 classic use to capture ghosts. This was not out of the norm for our geeky raver -- he is a dedicated cosplayer who spends most of his freetime dressing up as movie characters, cartoon characters, anime characters, and videogame characters. He's a role-play addict who has won several awards for his colorful and professional grade costumes. Unfortunately for our nerdy comrade, while he was trekking down the sidewalk in pursuit of a bucket of delicious fried chicken, a passerby saw him and confused his plastic proton gun for a real weapon. The police were called, and a nearby cruiser was on the scene within minutes. Just as our ghostbusting raver was about to satisfy his passion for poultry, he found himself the subject of a police assault. He heard someone shout at him, turned around, and found two officers, guns drawn, yelling at him to put down his weapon. At first he was confused and didn't realize that he was their target. It took him a few seconds and a few more shouts from the officers to realize what was going on. He tried to tell the cops that he wasn't armed and that his gun was just a toy, but they kept repeating their demands. The more he tried to talk to the officers, the angrier they became. Eventually, a crowd started to form, and our raver gave up any hope of getting through to the police. He put down his proton pack and was quickly tackled to the ground, cuffed, and thrown into the back of their car. Eventually the officers realized they had over-reacted, but it would be hours before our raver was free again. During the fracas the police managed to break his proton gun, and even though they were clearly in the wrong, they decided to charge him with public endagerment and disorderly conduct. It was only after he lawyered up and threatened to involve the news media that charges against him were dropped. The police, however, refuse to pay for his broken replica proton gun. He's bitter about what happened, but doesn't think suing the police would be worth the time or effort. |
