Just moved to DC - looking for rave friends!
32M just moved to the area from the West Coast. I only know my brother (who isn't a rave guy) here. Would love to make some friends/meet ppl to go to shows with. I'm very social and pretty sarcastic...not a shy guy at all. Threw up a picture of myself (I'm in the Xmas onesie). I'm only a little weird I promise xD

Ever wondered about the beginning of Techno in DC?
In 1992, I went to my first rave in DC. I was handed this cassette promoting a new sound called Techno at the vault nightclub. That night and that tape changed my life.
I've DJed and thrown parties in and around DC/Bmore/Rmond since then. If you ever have any questions about the very early days, I can help answer.

Lighting/visuals for Klang @ Echo
Fairly new to the EDM scene the last few years. I was absolutely blown away by the lighting and visuals for Klang's set on Friday at Echostage. Is this something that's choreographed by the artist or the venue?

For anyone else who just needed to find those guys after that amazing opening set. (That set was my groups style of grinding House or whatever we call it these days)

Some praise for Jade Cao!
Holy shit what an incredible opening set for Yanamaste last night. Jade Cao definitely just became one of my must see local techno DJs. I'd seen bits and pieces of their sets at other shows but this felt next level for sure.

Memorial Weekend Events
Not seeing many Memorial weekend events for Friday and Saturday. I wasn't as interested in the Flash events besides the Friday night line up, so I'm curious what else may be happening! Where are you headed? 🩷

Boris Brejcha at AI Warehouse questions
Going to see Boris Brejcha at AI Warehouse tomorrow but have never been there before.
Anyone known if he has an opener or an idea of what time he will go on? Is it just him from 10pm on?
Trying to coordinate 4 different peeps coming from 4 different areas so kinda need to give them time frames to meet up at.
Any info greatly appreciated....Thanks!!

beware ticket scammers that DM you
i've always had really good experiences with people in this subreddit but this time i burned myself. i was looking to buy a ticket to boris and left a message in someone's thread. someone else ended up reaching out to me in a DM asking if i was interested.
i won't really say i did my due diligence in terms of protecting myself. i ignored several red flags (multiple attempts at payments because zelle would flag it as a scam), but i chalked it up to fate since i understood there was a high likelihood it was a scam and let it play out.
https://i.imgur.com/2svL44C.png
basically this conversation moved to discord and we decided on zelle as the payment processor since i wasn't sure how shotgun transfer worked. he said he would prefer for me to send half -> transfer ticket -> send other half (green flag) and i was happier with that over full amount at once.
red flag #1 weird phone number and a weird request to not add a memo because it might get flagged (signals this person does this a lot)
red flag #2 weird request to use another weird phone number
red flag #3 requests to send ticket directly to email
red flag #4 fake email that looked kinda real. links aren't clickable, says 1 of 4 tickets. email came from someone with a totally different name
red flag #5 request to use another weird number from a third person.
anyways, don't be a dingus like me unless you're cool with missing an event and donating $55 to a scammer.
● be wary of people that dm you (because they might be banned from posting in this subreddit for scamming)
● a cursory google of their username + reddit is probably good
● if payment processors are telling you it might be a scam, it probably is
● refusal to use normal identifiers like IG and lack of a description of a real person behind their profile
my partner was working and none of my friends wanted to go, so i was planning on flying solo for the first time in a long while. i knew all the signs were there but i let it play out because of that anyway 🤦♂️. hope you guys can have a laugh at me and avoid this happening to you!
