Parliament Debate on Raves Interesting first comment from a Tory MP (of all people!)
Mr. Bellingham: The Minister will be aware that there was a time when raves were generally low-key, good-humoured events. During the past few weeks, there have been a number of illegal raves in my constituency where there has been substantial criminal damage and violence, a great deal of damage to property and the peddling of illegal drugs. The local police are fully stretched and are doing their best, but does he agree that the time has come for records of raves to be centrally recorded? The Government should look again at the powers the police have. Will he consider the matter urgently?

UK : LDN(SE) : Riot cops deployed to family fun event after gangs clash Bear in mind this is was not an illegal rave - its some kind of city equivalent of a "village fete".
I think the "reds" are Greenwich gangs and the "blues" are Lewisham gangs (ironically the colours usually come from the corporate colours on the trash bins the local Councils put up on the street!)
fair play to that youth worker for defusing the situation, but I bet metpol will definitely object to next years license.. :you_crazy
Gangs turn family day into battlefield
Jul 20 2007
Leon Watson
WARRING gangs turned on police after a mass brawl kicked off at Lewisham's biggest annual family event.
Mounted police were forced to storm into the battleground and use batons to control the crowd as trouble sparked at Lewisham People's Day.
Shocked families looked on as around 60 yobs ran riot near the event's youth stage in Mountsfield Park, Hither Green on Saturday.
Cops made 15 arrests, including one for violent disorder,four for affray and four for robbery.
There were also arrests for drug possession, obstructing a police officer and for minor public order offences.
Two officers and an event steward were hurt in the riot after being hit by missiles thrown by yobs.
Former girl gang member Minty Challis, from anti-gang campaign group Cease Fire Crew, helped to calm the situation by addressing the yobs directly.
She said: "It was absolutely ridiculous.
"It all got out of hand so I asked the police if I could talk to the youths.
"I'm just so glad they listened to me because I thought
"I was going to get stabbed. "There were the reds and the blues there running but at least 40 per cent were not from gangs.
"I stood up and said 'not here, not now' and told them if they were angry they should march on Parliament.
"I talked to them for about 15 minutes and for some reason they stopped."
But a mum, who lives near the park and did not want to be named, said: "I do not go to people's day because its not a safe place for me to take my children because the gangs.
"I live not far from Mountsfield Park and have to put up with the fall out after it finishes.
"Something needs to be done about the gangs but one person talking will not do it alone."
Superintendent Ben-Julian Harrington, from Lewisham police, said: "Intelligence suggested there would be disorder.
"But by working with the organisers, Lewisham council, and all the other agencies involved, major issues and serious injury was averted."
A council spokeswoman said: "The behaviour of the small group of people after the event was disappointing,but this did not undermine the success of the day."

City residents subjected to rave Around 400 party-goers took over a derelict building in Bristol for an all-night illegal rave.
One resident said she was "astonished" to be woken by the ravers at the old Pilkington Glass building in Redcliffe, early on Sunday morning.
"Redcliffe is a residential area and it is unthinkable that residents were subjected to this," she told the BBC.
Police attended the event throughout the night, and it was broken up "peacefully", a spokesman said.
One person was arrested by officers.
Another resident, who prefers to remain anonymous, added: "The music started at around midnight and went on until 9.30am."

The Gallery’s critically acclaimed trance residency VACCINE teams up with superstar trance production duo Kuffdam and Plant for one very special FREE night in Ibiza on Tuesday September 11th
After hosting a hugely successful night in 2006 at Eden, Kuffdam and Plant have seen the last year taking in extensive world touring of their hugely popular Live PA, a massive trance smash hit in the shape of “The Ones We Loved” on Vandit and a consistent stream of quality tracks hammered by the worlds biggest and best jocks leading to plaudits from the likes of Van Dyk, Armin van Buuren and Judge Jules among others.
After cutting their teeth early on in VACCINE’s illustrious past, Kuffdam and Plant invite one of the worlds leading and most credible trance brands for one night only at the massive Eden in Ibiza. This massive free event will be showcasing the very best in trance producers, djs and residents from across the globe in only the way VACCINE and Kuffdam and Plant can.
Fresh from their epic first birthday in February 2007 at their spiritual home of The Gallery at Turnmills in London and world class collaborations with the likes of Black Hole Recordings, Euphonic’s 10th Birthday and Discover (Recoverworld) as well as UK debuts for the likes of Fabio Stein, Bart Claessen, Richard Durand, Marc Marberg, Oliver Prime just in 2007 alone, VACCINE continues to set the pace others follow in new trance talent and cutting edge lineups.
Leading the charge on the night will be a very exclusive live performance from Kuffdam and Plant who’s live show has rocked dance floors all across Europe and beyond including last years performance at Eden in Ibiza, Lebanon, Poland, the UK, Cyprus and many more. With a host of new productions to showcase exclusively this will be one of the few chances to saviour the magic of one of the worlds leading production duos live, one not to be missed!!
Joining a very exclusive one off Ibiza lineup will be Marc van Linden. Marc is a firm favorite with trance fans everywhere and his new album ‘My Way’ has done more to add weight to the considerable support shown by world number one dj, Paul van Dyk who believes that he “is one of the hottest talents around at the moment”.
Label boss of his hugely successful Midway Records imprint and regular guest at the worlds leading clubbing establishments including a hugely popular set for VACCINE last September as well as appearances at the likes of Gatecrasher, Ministry Of Sound, Goodgreef, Love-parade in Berlin, Womb in Tokyo and Eden in Ibiza last year to name but a few, we are honoured to welcome back Marc for another educational session
Trance favourite and producer / dj extraordinaire Martin Roth joins the Balearic fray. As a producer and remixer who rivals no one, Martin has carved a reputation for consistent quality and boundary pushing music. A favourite on dance floors as far a field as South America to London, both VACCINE and Kuffdam and Plant are delighted to welcome him to Ibiza for what will be an exclusive experience not to be missed.
Tracks such as the massive remix of The Orange Theme as well as the critically acclaimed remix of Call the Galaxy Taxi as well as original productions including Shockwaves have all been supported by the biggest and best and have ensured that Martin Roth is a name connected with quality trance worldwide.
At only 22 years old Frase is fast becoming the hottest tip of the UK trance scene with a string of critically acclaimed productions and dj sets at some of the UKs biggest and most respected clubs. 2007 has seen massive support from the likes of Armin van Buuren, Paul van Dyk, Ferry Corsten and dj sets at some of the UK’s leading clubs including The Gallery at Turnmills, Gatecrasher at The Republic and Passion at The Emporium to name but a few and he touches down for his Ibiza debut, one to seriously watch out for!!!
VACCINE residents The Viceroy and Ben Beaton have forged huge followings amongst the VACCINE faithful with their much anticipated monthly sets and tireless pursuit of new talent. 21 year old The Viceroy has just seen his ‘End Game’ track on Flux Delux pick up support from the cream of the crop including amongst others Tiesto, Armin van Buuren, Above and Beyond and Sander van Doorn.
Haris C leads the way in trance in Cyprus, regularly being voted the Cypriot clubbers number one choice for the dancefloor. A regular at the biggest parties and alongside the biggest names including sets with Paul van Dyk to mention just one, Haris C has also seen his productions regularly chart with the biggest and best including hits such as ‘Room with a View’ on Afterglow and recent productions on Moonrising and Highlight records.
Warming up for VACCINE is rising star Mike Harris who has been steadily climbing through the ranks with his well crafted sets and tireless enthusiasm. Not only will he be leading the audio assault by setting the tone of the night, he will also be celebrating his first record produced with rising star Acute being snapped up by leading trance label NOYS by Mike Koglin.
Room two brings us another promotion that is grabbing the attention of clubbers at home and abroad, not content with gaining the accolades of being voted the best new promotion by their fans and holding shop at the UK's finest Friday night 'The Gallery'. PREHAB take their tech house and funky techno sound to the white isle to ably support VACCINE.
The room is headlined by two names very much on everyone’s lips at the moment. Dave Irvine, one half of all things Prehab has been making waves for some time now, supporting some of the biggest djs around. He will be bringing us the fresh funky sounds that the Prehab massive demand to the island. Next up is another Ibiza debut for the hugely tipped K.A.R.L. Gigs at major festivals including the Antiworld 070707 and supporting the likes of the Filterheadz and DJ Preach at leading nights such as Party Proactive and The Gallery have seen K.A.R.L. capitulated to the front of the UK scene as one to seriously watch! Supporting these two will be one of the rising stars of the scene, a Prehab resident and up and coming producer who has already supported the likes of Matthew Dekay, Gary Optim is the man to set the groove for the Prehab room.
Watch out for an exclusive special guest performance on the night as one of the many friends of VACCINE, Kuffdam and Plant and Prehab touches down for an exclusive secret gig! Only those there on the night will be able to share in this exclusive appearance.

UK : East : 2007-07-14 Suffolk party (busted)

Mine was ok. Busy busy busy.
Always a pleasure to play with the soundsystem, but it is also a chore to hire it out none the less. Glad everyone had a good one. Shame to hear about the problems BSE direction though.
what was really gutting is that it was a good party until that all kicked off (although there had been some idiots earlier who were robbing stuff from cars..)
there was about 100 cops from 3 forces (Suffolk, Norfolk and Essex) :hopeless:
Music software for Macs At last weekends party, a friend said he had got a mac and some sort of music software - but it was protected by a USB key that he didn't have...
He said he didn't know much about computers, I was wary to encourage him to look for stuff on torrent/warez sites - apart from the legal/ethical side of this I didn't want him to accidentally get loads of viruses/worms...
Is there any decent open source or low-cost music software for Macs, or a way of getting good stuff at a fair price? I rarely use macs so I'm not sure what is available TBH..
