r/LondonRaving

Hey! I’ve been meaning to post this for a while… 28F, been living in London for almost a year now. Thought I’d try my luck here finding some rave buddies & music friends with similar taste :)

I’m a pretty ordinary working student but music is honestly my biggest interest (I DJ and produce for hobby) I’ve met quite a few music folks in London but somehow haven’t come across that many people whose taste really overlaps with mine.

I did meet a great rave mate through Reddit last year but sadly they’re leaving London pretty soon (guess that’s something I should get used to in a city where people constantly come and go) 🥲 I’ve joined a few WA groups for finding rave mates as well, but even there people's music taste seems pretty fragmented honestly.

I’m mainly into deep/dub/groovy techno, IDM-ish experimental stuff, and leftfield breaks & jungle. Not really into big-room, overly cinematic techno or melodic/progressive house-ish stuff. With breaks/jungle, I tend to prefer the more leftfield side rather than classic UK DnB. Love labels like Ilian Tape, Mutual Rytm, Delsin, R&S Records, Livity Sound, Faux Poly (recently caught my eye!) and some of my fav artists I’ve seen in London so far are Skee Mask, Djrum, Shed, Wata Igarashi, Otik, Polygonia and Peverelist. I’ve had my best nights at FOLD, MOT, Corsicas, etc but I choose nights based more on the artists than the venues.

So if any of this sounds like your thing, let’s please be friends! Esp if you’re also into DJing or producing, we’ll probably have a lot to talk about. I’ve got a few events saved for the next couple of months, and it’d be lovely to find people who genuinely want to go for the music and enjoy together. Thanks for reading and feel free to reach out 🫶🏻

I m a foreigner who ended up all alone in Dover, trying to find people who enjoy the better side of life and start getting out there, 27 M, never been to a rave, I ve had a few house parties where we played mostly Zhu, minimals, techno,house and some, I m fine with many EDM genres myself, I like jungle and I m pretty sure psytrance is a warm hand rubbing my soul, I don t mind darker subgenres, I m a very bubbly person myself, just need to get bubbly people to meet and have fun with.Mush luv!

Hey everyone!

I’ll be in the UK next week for Reading Fest and was wondering if there were any open decks/slots in any gay bars around the city during the week that I can hop on. I’m a house/big room dj for a few bear events here in Chicago and would love the opportunity to DJ while I’m in town, can provide mixes if needed. Thanks, can’t wait to visit!

I'm looking for some good recommendations for wild, underground techno or trance nights in London on Friday. Or just some fun shit about.

Putting it out there to see if there are any sober women in the group.

Im a 30 year old female, nearly 2 years clean & sober :)

Not many of my sober pals are up for raving and im not ready to hang up my bootz, just yet.

Id be up for anything from dnb to neurofunk, jungle, techno, house, trance, metal. Hit me up if you're female & sober🌞

Who else was there? I thought this was incredible. From spacey and ambient at the start through acid house, trance and techno but everything tied together with deep cosmic/psychedelic textures threaded through the whole set. There was a moment where the combination of warm ethereal washes and hard hammering bass was just completely blissful for me.
Was billed as 2pm-10pm but the crowd was so up for it that Jane and Marco just carried on playing and were still going strong at 11pm when we left.
For me these two were fantastic b2b partners who vibed completely and took us on a coherent journey to somewhere cosmic. My favourite set so far this year. Would love to hear what other people thought. Music is so subjective so it would be cool to hear different views!

Haven't been out in ages and lots of my friends are no longer interested...I don't mind where as long as it's fairly central and can plan as well...just want others to go with! So message me if you may be interested :)

And how stringent are they ? I've been clubbing in Amsterdam and really they are looking for weapons rather than anything else.

Went to Magazine Open Air on Sat. It was very quiet when I entered and I was the only one walking by the dogs and naturally got pulled for the “extensive search.”

When i entered the pod for a search, one person was doing the pat down and bag search, while another was at a table looking at my ID.

They didnt find anything me and i got into the fest. But i noticed the guy who was looking at my ID was writing stuff down? I am wondering if he recorded my details, which i dont think he should since they didnt find anything?

Does anyone else who went through the search know what they were doing? I am going again this weekend and just wondering if it means my ID gonna get flagged on entry and I am gonna get searched again.

The guy also asked me a few times if i had cash on me, which i thought was super weird. I said no and he was like it’s fine. Anyone know why he was asking?

Anyone going to Gaffe this Friday for Indigaura?

leftfield electronic music, deep techno, trance, trippy psychedelic soundscapes .. and wild immersive VAs, interactive digital art installations (including brainwave scanners to see and hear your brain in action). Going to be wild!

Please reach out asap

anyone going to FOLD sunday the 23rd?

Buying 1x Ticket for body movements ideally 50£ 🩷

Has anyone been to this venue recently and have any tips for lines/ getting in?

I bought a Pre 6pm entry ticket for Amelie Lens b2b Sara Landry but want to go later. I saw somewhere that it’s like a £20 or £25 fee at the door for later entry, but want to confirm that. Don’t want to get denied at the door 😭

Hey guys,

In honour of results day and going to uni I decided to start going out more. I wanna go out to fabric nightclub as i heard there is often a younger crowd (on a friday), but I'm not sure on some things.

1. Should I buy a ticket online or buy one at the queue?
2. What time should I show up on a friday?
3. Is it an okay idea to go solo?
