…Just thought it would be nice for everyone to know who holds the best freebies, that way we will know who to visit next…and who to avoid. And the new ppl joining will have better knowledge of this.
No slating pls…be nice and adult about your comments.
I don’t think those who use this board are into slating other crews etc; but a problem with threads like this is it makes it seem like a competition; and people will normally quote the crews nearest to the area in which they live in who play the music styles they prefer…
With that caveat I’d give my list as
Phantom
Void
Oblivion
Wrong
Karnage
Somatek
Project Mayhem
Itsy Bitsy
Underdog
Storm
Surge
There is no rank intended the above list; merely the order in which I remembered these crews – and the last two are there even though I’m not a great fan of hard house as they have always created a friendly atmosphere and helped others. In many cases they share crew, kit and space as and when needed.
Incidentally we all see the fun bit and the happy people enjoying themselves; what we often do not see is stuff like people scraping together from their own earnings the money to put on a party; ending up in serious conflict with their employers and family due to issues over the time spent on the party scene to put these events on, and even being arrested mid week or just as the comedown sets in as the angry building/land owners incessantly demand the cops do something and hold someone accountable.
anyone who takes this risk deserves praise..
Well, in addition to GLs list (many of my choices would be the same as we are from the same town) I would like to add:
Ruckus
Crossbones
Headfuk
Tribe of Munt
Messy
Disruptive Audio
Itsy Bitsy
and probably a million more if I could utilise my brain properly!
I think the longer you have been partying, the longer your list becomes as you’ve met more crews, made more friends and as GL said its not only the music that makes the party is it?
LOL – for the smallest rig, Itsy Bitsy got mentioned twice 😀
and this is well deserved; despite not having loads of audio power (the very idea of IB was that they are a chill-out rig) their presence is often what makes parties in our area (SE UK) special…

Well said GL. (as usual!)
Any crew that gets out there and puts on a party with a good n friendly atmosphere,n no egos’

Ring number underneath if your around this way.

Firstly I’d just like to echo the sentiments throughout this post bigging up anyone who is prepared to put the time, effort, money and risk into putting on a party. I would love to do it myself, but am not perpared to put myself in direct oppositioon to the law in uch a way, but i know from helping out at Desert Storm, and my own experience of the work involved in putting on the Hard Life club nights, just how much is involved.
Although a relative newcomer to the free party scene, having attended my first one in the Spring of 2003 (a party run by Kulu on tyhe Yorkshire Moors) I would like to contribute my fav parties based on limited experience:
Desert Storm
Toil Sound System
Missile

definitely would like to hear more about the free party scene, our lot from the Thames Valley area often end up “crossing the border” into Hampshire (like Fawley mount and beacon hill)
BTW Hantspol were one of the harshest anti-rave forces in previous years, so fair play to anyone who has pulled off parties in their area!
Glad to see us getting a mention for our missile party, thanks Kai.
Keep your ears to the ground for our next one on 23rd October.
I would say toil and stumblefunk stand out, neither of whom play my kind of music, but stumblefunk pick great locations and have a good vibe, while toil put a huge amount of effort into setting up and decorating their site and making it into a magical wonderland to explore.
MISSING party at http://www.hardcoremission.co.uk
MISSION Manchester (not MiSSiON!)
Cheers Chris!

Thats only one week before the MISSING warehouse festival so I may be too busy sorting things out here to travel that far, and my car is poorly, but if I can’t make it myself hopefully someone else will be along torepresent us with the MISSING flyers. Sounds like its going to be a top party!

Cheers for another banging night last saturday Chris! That venue was fucking awesome, and you deserve a medal for pulling it off so close to Old Trafford on the morning of the biggest game of the season! Nice one!
