rave and the Internet I'm trying to gather some information about rave culture's history on the Internet - particularly the free party/ DiY scene - for a chapter I'm writing for my thesis and I'd like to pick your brains...
I was hoping that some of you (esp. those older heads :))would share your experiences with me and also any knowledge/ information you have about rave culture's migration on to the Internet (what was the first rave website? what was it used for?)
When did you first start using rave forums? What forums/ websites do you visit? What do you get out of them/ what do you use them for? How has rave culture's presence on the Internet changed over the years?
I'd love to hear your stories and experiences - a little trip down memory lane....
peace

Edzy - Deejay/Producer/Songwriter/Remixer also known as: Unique 3, Activity, No Control, Race Creed & Color, 208 Projects and Coco Phet
Unique 3 has been cited by such luminaries as Goldie, LFO & The Chemical Brothers as their original inspiration, Unique 3’s early 80’s ‘Bleep House’ creating the start point for thousands of House Records to follow and ‘Activity’ by Unique 3 (it is wrote) being the original ‘break-beat’ track which later created ‘Jungle’, eventually ‘Drum & Bass’ & paved the way for Nu-Skool Breaks. The inclusion of Unique 3’s – ‘The Theme’ on both The Chemical Brothers album of tracks that inspired them to make music: ‘Brothers Gonna Work It Out’ & on Warp Records collection of early House tracks that inspired them to set up their world famous label, an album aptly titled: ‘Inspirations’, stands testament to this.
Unique 3 were recently reminded of their major role in the creation of early House Music scene when ‘The Theme’ was voted the number 1 track played at the The Haçienda in the ‘90s, voted number one by the world famous Deejay team who played there! - Due to a spate of recent bootlegs, The Theme is now being remixed, as part of a competition, the parts being offered up for producers to download from Warp's www.bleep.com site, these parts have already been downloaded an amazing 3000 times - a download record for Warp !
Unique 3 released 5 singles & 1 double album while signed to Virgin’s ‘10 Records’ (plus numerous releases as Unique 3 & other ‘undercover projects’ on the band’s own labels: Chill Records, No Noise Recordings & Funk Labs Records & Tapes.
Unique 3 broke the national top 20 with ‘Musical Melody’ (not an easy feat back then) & enjoyed 4 top 5 club chart hits & 2 no.1’s. Several pieces of Edzy’s music have been used for TV & video & five of Edzy’s records can be found listed in the Guinness Book Of Hit Records.
Unique 3 enjoyed the success of two major U.K. & European club tours with their groundbreaking live sets which were also featured on Top Of The Pops, Dance Energy, The Word, Vivid, Radio 1, Capitol Radio & Kiss FM.
Unique 3 adorned 2 Mixmag front covers, front cover of Music Technology (the electronic music bible) and front cover of Gordon Mac’s original Kiss FM Magazine’ as well as a full page feature on the band in that magazine amongst magazines - The Face.
To date Edzy has produced and remixed for the following labels: Strictly Rhythm, Warp, Positiva, Fon, 10 Records, Network. Paradiso, Phuture Traxx, Love to Be, Miss Moneypenny’s, Tumblin’, 6six6 & Virgin to name but a few.
Edzy is a veteran of the radio airwaves, His 'Funk Labs Show' can be heard across London every Sunday on HOUSE FM 88.6 & worldwide via www.housefm.net Edzy is best known on radio in the north of England for his ‘Live & Illegal Show’ on 99.9 Emergency fm and later, his ‘Mix Master Dance Party’ on W.K.L.R. 107.5fm.
Edzy’s legendary ‘Soundyard Club’ (Bradford ‘87 – ’90) was catalyst in starting a whole new club culture in the north of England – at 17 years old he was flying in artists such as the late Gwen Guthrie, Mark The 45 King & Adeva as well as showcasing UK acts like Guy Called Gerald, 808 State & The Sindecut.
(Those amazing scenes which capture the spirit of the original Dance Scene: Unique 3’s video for ‘Musical Melody’, an MTV favourite, was filmed at The Soundyard in front of THAT AMAZING crowd!)
As a circuit DJ, Edzy was one of the original Southport Weekender deejays, his other guest spots have included: World Party (1991) The Hacienda, Ministry Of Sound, Heaven (London), Back 2 Basics (Leeds) Home (Manchester) The Canal (Wolverhampton) Love To Be (Leeds) Club UK (Midlands) Home (Manchester) Sugar Shack (Middlesbrough Empire) & Paradiso (Nottingham) to name but a few. Whilst in The North East, he’s better remembered for his opening night Deejay set at the legendaryHavana and later his residency during the halcyon days of The Middlesbrough Arena.
In between productions & DJ’ing, Edzy enjoyed a long & twisted spell as Music Editor of his favourite periodical ‘for boozers, loosers & substance abusers’ – The Herb Garden but moved on from that post, under medical supervision! returning to The North East in 1996 to buy his spiritual deejay home: The Middlesbrough Arena, which he sold in 2005, his club nights there have included guests including: Masters At Work, Afrika Bambaataa, DJ Cash Money, Roger Sanchez, The Jungle Brothers …..
Edzy is now half owner of Soho's newest venue - The Soho Social Club, on Wardour Street W1& of Piccadilly's latest Electronica record store - POKE RECORDS on Denman Street

The psychology behind Internet users and how your website affects them The psychology behind Internet users and how your website affects them
Everybody on this site is here to enhance their knowledge on building the perfect community site, whether it be one which has proactive users that constantly take part in related discussions, through to those who want a spot on http://www.big-boards.com/ (who doesn't!). My article is more aimed towards the former.
Lately it seems that the Internet is flooded with SEO techniques and ways to trick google into having the highest possible page rank. This is great and all, but there's no point having a high ranked site when your content isn't keeping those users who visited your site there.
I'll be discussing the psychology behind how users view a website and the different ways you can make your site more active. This can range from encouraging discussion; turning users into your very own set of moderators who abide by your rules and notify others when wrong; to simply making users register upon visiting.
Interested yet? Then read on.
How groups act and how to "control" them
Groups ranging in size from two or three people to millions within a community are being made at different bulletin boards around the Internet. A whole range of psychology theory can be applied to these situations - such as issues covering leadership, alliances and communication patterns to name a few.
One large issue that many community admins face is controlling the amount of off topic chat. Usually forums are created to gather like minded individuals to discuss a given topic, but sometimes members may talk around a topic into something completely unrelated. One site of interest is http://www.digg.com which leads to any of its front page links becoming amongst the highest viewed sites on the Internet for a period of time. Great! ill just post a link to my site and watch all the users flow in! Sorry, its not that simple as digg only shows links to sites which are technology related. How? It controls this by allowing its members to vote on whether the linked site is related to digg's users or not.
The psychology behind this covers influencing conformity. There are two types of conformity: Normative Influence and Informational influence. The first is more relevant to controlling off topic discussion and covers peer pressure. The reasons include; fear of rejection, wanting approval, simply to be identified as part of a group and to show loyalty. Digg however you want to look at it, uses peer pressure to keep it's links relevant, but it does so in a way that doesn't deter its users.
Everybody wants some kind of approval within society and this can be used to your advantage. There are many different ways of doing this, such as a reputation meter that members can click on to show that the users post was good. A good implementation of this can be found on: http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/
Another idea is used within this very article on TAZ. The article contest promotes members to provide their insight into information that is useful to the site and the TAZ members vote on which is the best article. All of these are ways to control and promote the type of content posted to your community without looking like an evil admin.
Of course the layout of features and different areas of your community can aid in combating off topic discussion. One clean way to stop people replying with a few words is to remove the fast reply box. This small text form at the bottom of a post is usually the culprit for simple replies and by removing it is a quick and simple solution.
Is it all bad?
Controlling or limiting off topic discussion is all well and good but it can also lead to your forums feeling distant. Talking about any topic covers basic social needs and if that isn't catered for, you run the risk of alienating your target user group. It can be seen throughout the web that as members become more personally involved in discussions they begin to obey the sites' rules and community as a whole.
Instead of limiting the amount of off topic discussion you can simply move any of these topics to a suitably named forum, after all that's what moderation is for!
The positioning and name of the off topic forum can also have an effect on the amount of discussion. A general rule of thumb is: the forums that you would like to be the most active should be placed towards the top of the site in immediate view. The reasons for this are fairly obvious, and by putting the off topic forum discussion lower down it also emphasises a hierarchy that is present within the site, having more important forums at the top.
The name of the off topic forum can also control the amount of discussion. By labelling the off topic forum as "General Discussion" it can lead to users joining purely to post there. However if a negative name is given to this off topic forum, it promotes the use of other forums present on the site. Some examples are: "Miscellaneous Topics" and "Obscure Topics".
How to get users to join my forum!
This is what all new community admins are asking and the answer leads on from another question. What is it that people want? What they can't have.
A simple answer, but I'm not just going to leave it there, I'll elaborate. Ever seen someone with an amazing car and wanted to be in their place? Well, that same feeling can be used on your site to promote new visitors to join your community. In a lot of cases each community offers some sort of content which immediately grabs the visitors attention. By limiting the entry to this content you can give off a need to access it, which leads to more member joins.
Overall, to get a new visitor to join your community you have to limit entry to some original content. It also helps if you provide a preview, to entice the viewer into joining. This idea works well for large communities but for smaller ones it can be difficult, especially when your just starting off. In this case, I'd recommend getting friends who you trust to post on the forums. Using this method you can also have these members work as your very own set of guardians (as talked about below).
Get my members to tell others when they're wrong
This is an article in itself. The overall psychology theory covers group dynamics and how friendships are forged between people. Usually if you look on most forums with these "guardian angel" members present they all share something in common. These members are all good friends. Their friendships were most likely made during general banter (off topic discussion, gah!). After using your forums to communicate for some time, these users will feel some connection to the site and become loyal members. The users that actually help to protect and help on your site are those that are pre-programmed from a young age to be philanthropists. I could talk about this subject for days, but i doubt this article would get read if it's too long as a result. Until next time...
Side Note: The end has no end
This has been a fairly brief introduction into some of the psychology behind how users take part in discussion and how to "control" them. If this article is a success (regardless of whether i win or not) in terms of TAZ member interest, I'd be happy to go more in-depth into the psychology, involved specifically within bulletin board communities.
The strange case of the man who took 40,000 ecstasy pills in nine years The strange case of the man who took 40,000 ecstasy pills in nine years
[FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]· Usage increased to 25 tablets a day at peak
· Memory problems and paranoia may be lasting[/FONT]
[FONT=Geneva,Arial,sans-serif]David McCandless
Tuesday April 4, 2006
The Guardian
[/FONT]Doctors from London University have revealed details of what they believe is the largest amount of ecstasy ever consumed by a single person. Consultants from the addiction centre at St George's Medical School, London, have published a case report of a British man estimated to have taken around 40,000 pills of MDMA, the active ingredient in ecstasy, over nine years. The heaviest previous lifetime intake on record is 2,000 pills.
Though the man, who is now 37, stopped taking the drug seven years ago, he still suffers from severe physical and mental health side-effects, including extreme memory problems, paranoia, hallucinations and depression. He also suffers from painful muscle rigidity around his neck and jaw which often prevents him from opening his mouth. The doctors believe many of these symptoms may be permanent.
The man, known as Mr A in the report in the scientific journal Psychosomatics, started using ecstasy at 21. For the first two years his use was an average of five pills per weekend. Gradually this escalated until he was taking around three and a half pills a day. At the peak, the man was taking an estimated 25 pills every day for four years. After several severe collapses at parties, Mr A decided to stop taking ecstasy. For several months, he still felt he was under the influence of the drug, despite being bedridden.
Hallucinations
His condition deteriorated and he began to experience recurrent tunnel vision and other problems including hallucinations, paranoia and muscle rigidity. "He came to us after deciding that he couldn't go on any more," said Dr Christos Kouimtsidis, the consultant psychiatrist at St George's Medical School in Tooting who treated him for five months. "He was having trouble functioning in everyday life."
The doctors discovered that the man was suffering from severe short-term memory problems of a type usually only seen in lifetime alcoholics. But evaluating the full extent of his condition was difficult as his concentration and attention was so impaired he was unable to follow the simple tasks involved in the test.
"This was an exceptional case. His long- term memory was fine but he could not remember day to day things - the time, the day, what was in his supermarket trolley," said Dr Kouimtsidis. "More worryingly, he did not seem aware himself that he had these memory problems."
With no mental illness in his family and no prior psychiatric history, the doctors concluded that his unique condition was direct result of his intense ecstasy use.
"This is obviously an extreme case so we should not blow any observations out of proportion," says Dr Kouimtsidis. "But if this is what is happening to very heavy users, it might be an indication that daily use of ecstasy over a long period of time can lead to irreversible memory problems and other cognitive deficits."
For 10 years, MDMA has been suspected of causing these kinds of effects in heavy users. It is thought to be due to its disruption of the regulation of serotonin, a brain chemical believed to play a role in mood and memory. It remains unclear whether these effects are the result of permanent neurotoxic damage or just temporary reversible alterations in the brain.
A study today in a special MDMA issue of the British Journal of Psychopharmacology, suggests long-term side-effects may be temporary.
The researchers from the University Of Louisiana could find no significant relationship between depression and recreational ecstasy use.
In the case of Mr A, a structural MRI brain scan failed to show any obvious damage or atrophy in his brain. However, these results, says Dr Kouimtsidis, are difficult to interpret. "A scan of this type is not sensitive enough," he said.
Such limitations in brain scanning technology, along with ethical and legal barriers to giving MDMA to human test subjects, have limited direct observation of the drug's effects in humans.
Instead, scientists have had to use recreational drug users as subjects in their studies. Conclusions from this are often flawed because few, if any, drugs users use ecstasy in isolation.
Cannabis user
Mr A was also a heavy cannabis user, and when he was encouraged to decrease his use, his paranoia and hallucinations disappeared and his anxiety abated. But his memory and concentration problems remained, leading the doctors to suspect that these may be permanent disabilities.
When he was admitted to a specialist brain injury unit and put on anti-psychotic medication, he did start to show some improvement.
"Unfortunately, he discharged himself before we were able to complete the assessment," says Dr Kouimtsidis. "We continued to support him. But he started to use cannabis again and he dropped out. We tried to re-engage him but we lost him about a year ago."
The Guardian made several attempts to find the man without success.
Effects of ecstasy
MDMA is one the most intensely studied recreational drugs in history. But despite thousands of research papers and studies, scientific evidence on the side-effects remains inconclusive.
Death by overdose
Undoubtedly, large amounts of ecstasy can lead to over-heating which in turn, in rare cases, can trigger fatal heat stroke. Many factors contribute: number and strength of pills taken, environment, alcohol-consumption, body weight - but women seem more at risk. The bulk of ecstasy-related deaths around the world have been young women.
Water-poisoning
Panicking users, fearing they are overdosing, drink too much water and provoke hyponaetraemia (water-poisoning). Leah Betts died after drinking 14 pints in just 90 minutes. The recommended amount of water to drink per hour is one pint.
Toxic reactions
Much of the reports of toxic reactions are muddled with overdose or water-poisoning deaths. There is no clear evidence that some people suffer allergic reactions to ecstasy. However, around 10% of Western users do lack a key liver enzyme CYP2D6 needed to break down MDMA. This may make them more sensitive to the effects and more prone to accidental overdose.
Depression
Many weekend users report a mid-week mood dip. This is suspected to be related MDMA's effect on serotonin, but hard evidence is lacking. In heavy users, dips can turn to crashes and depression. However studies suggest this effect reverses after a 2-3 month abstinence.
Positive effects
Users still claim "long lasting improvements in self-awareness, self-esteem, openness and insight into personal problems", reports the study from the University Of Louisiana. In the US, research continues into the use of MDMA-assisted psychotherapy to treat Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Reid Speed (BlueMoonProductions/NYC)
Reid Speed is a sonic force of nature. Over the past 10 years she has worked her way up from one of NYC’s favorite local drum & bass DJs to the hearts of many as a world class headliner in her own right. Reid is now well known for playing a variety of genres –from her classic d&b to nu skool breaks, 2 step, and hard electro house.
Currently residing in Los Angeles, Reid Speed was born & raised in the NYC underground. As a teenage raver with a dream and an undeniable spirit, she bought her tables while still in high school and began playing out less than a year later. She quickly became a staple of the NYC drum & bass and rave communities, as a resident for Stuck On Earth and Direct Drive. She was lucky enough to play alongside the top names in the business from the get-go and because of the immense competition the NYC fostered has always set the bar extremely high for her sets and mixes. Although she attracted much attention for being the first female jungle DJ to come up out of NY, it was her fierce skills – not her looks or that got her noticed on a national level.
Reid is now recognized as the US’s First Lady of Drum & Bass and also as one of the top US DJs, period. Any praise only fuels her fire to do more and better. She continues to wow her audiences wherever she goes, whatever type of music she plays, because of her true dedication to the music. Her passion for sound fights to unleash itself every day and her ever-growing fan base recognizes this and loves her for it. Hear it to believe it!
Reid is going to go to the other side tonight and co headline the breaks arena!!!!1

JASON BLUM * Producer & DJ
Release Records/Yoshitoshi/XM Radio
Jason Blum needs little introduction to devotees of electronic music‹as
a
DJ, producer, and part of the Los Angeles based duo Deepsky, his work
over
the past 14 years has topped charts around the globe and left an
indelible
mark on American dance music.
Jason¹s passion for the dance scene grew out of a fascination with
technology coupled with a deep immersion in late 80¹s club life, where
groups like Skinny Puppy, New Order, and Front Line Assembly laid the
groundwork for today¹s progressive scene. This synthesizer-driven music
was
second nature to a teenager raised on a steady diet of computers and
punk
rock, and in the early 90¹s he made the leap into music as a way of
life by
attending the University of New Mexico for theory and composition. It
was
there that he met fellow student J. Scott G and formed the seminal
electronic music group Deepsky in 1994.
As part of the Deepsky duo, Jason produced a wide range of successful
music,
including the 1997 smash hit ³Stargazer² and the critically acclaimed
2002
artist album, In Silico. Deepsky further cemented their reputation as
star
producers by crafting Billboard chart topping remixes for world-class
names
like Madonna, Seal, David Bowie, Paul Oakenfold, America, and The
Crystal
Method. Jason¹s work with Deepsky can also be heard on a wide range of
films, television programs, and video games including Bad Boys 2,
CSI:Miami,
SSX 3, and Gran Turismo 4. Deepsky¹s latest single, ³Ghost², has just
been
released by Release Records of Toronto, and has received glowing
reviews
from DJs and critics worldwide.
Over the past 14 years, Jason has performed live PA and DJ gigs at well
over
300 events around the world. His bi-weekly show for XM Satellite
Radio,
³Fundamental², is now well into its third year and offers millions of
listeners in the United States‹and others around the world via
Internet‹the
opportunity to hear fresh new dance tunes set against a backdrop of
classic
tracks that shaped the foundation of the scene we know and love today.
Jason
is also an accomplished technical writer who contributes in-depth
product
reviews to major publications like Remix Magazine and Future Music, and
is
actively involved with the National Academy of Recording Arts and
Sciences.
For more information, including a complete listing of past musical
works and
upcoming performances, check the Deepsky website at www.deepsky.net
