Et ce meme si mon contrat me permet d'aller apres 5am. J'ai cependant été mentionné que depuis Heroes et Vilan, la ville et la police est sur le dos de Espace des Arts, au sujet des raves toute la nuit. Donc en aucun temps qui que se soit a été blamé, à part la ville. Heroes and Vilan a été tout un succes et le team de la promo a fait un excellent travail. Ca aurait pu etre nimporte qu'elle autre evenement que ce dernier. Ca s'adonne juste que Heroes and Vilan est le dernier rave a plus de 5am. Meme que maintenant, apres MORT 2011, il ne va plus avoir devenement passé 3am. Donc le fait de le faire jusqua 4-4:30am est excellent pour le faire a Espace des Arts.

En second point, en ayant booké Delta 9 cinq fois par le passé, je ne le considère plus comme un headliner, mais plutot comme un resident de Kreotik eNt. Donc le set de Delta 9 est juste reporté pour tres bientot. Cela fait toute la place aux djs locaux qui vont se donner corps et ame pour MORT 2011 .En plus, Espace des Arts n'est pas une salle cheap, elle est dispendieuse. Et pour couvrir ces dépenses 10$ pour du psycore, pour 8 heures de temps avec des djs locaux de qualité. Ca vaut bien le détour! Pour 10-15$ MORT 2011, n'est pas un evenement d'un dj, mais bien un rassembelement de djs, performant dans une place aussi merveilleuse que Espace des Arts pour débuter le week-end d'Halloween!! PAIX et MUSIQUE!! :)

The first raves I went too in the early 90s were either in clubs or warehouses. The only distinction between us "ravers" and the "clubbers" was the dress code and the style of music we listened too

Clubbers listened to what we called "dance" music. We listened too acid house, techno & early UK breakbeat which was also called "hardcore" back then. In the chillout rooms, they would play "ambient" music. Style wise clubbers would wear fancy designer clothes, us ravers would wear t-shirts, phat pants and sneakers.

So this whole idea that raves are about "Hardcore, Happy hardcore, hardstyle, hard music in general" is bogus. Funnily enough those are just styles of music that evolved out of the original ones.

Hardcore evolved from techno and industrial, happy hardcore started as sped up breakbeats, much like drum n bass (which also evolved out of breakbeat), and hardsyle is essentially a fast 4X4 techno beat.

As for psy, well the psy trance scene has always kind of been a distinct scene inside the rave scene. I consider them to be raves just like any other rave, just like a drum n bass night in a club is a rave if you want it to be one.

The main reason people use other terms other than "rave" such as "party", "gathering", "festival", "weekly clubnight" is too avoid all the bullshit and misunderstanding that comes with naming an event a rave. Back in the 90s when raves first started out in Canada, there was a lot of negative press surrounding them...If you said "rave", all of a sudden the authorities would be on your ass. It quickly became obvious that it was much easier to call an event a "party" or "festival" and avoid the drama without compromising the music or the event itself.

At the end of the day, all you really need for a rave is a soundsystem, a venue, some cool lights and some banging tunes.
