Who needs clubs. He should ride the production buckaroo into the sunset, the kind of sacrifice the gods respect

was trying to get at the eye factor connection with early E use in me thread, yet still forgot
The E face is one thing, but it misses the contexts of outdoor events and then the more fun element where, if you had 400 punters, a dance floor creates maybe a couple of dozen “leaders” (come psychopomps) who inspire, direct and channel the throng to deeper levels of expressive madness
Old? That east Anglia raving clip with the Giorgio Moroder lookalike says it all. That bloke was AVINIT

Btw, old men like myself look aghast at recent free parties with dancing morphing into mosh pits

I think dance music and rave culture is going to have to battle with its own heritage and history now it's been a fixture of culture for thirty years. I don't just mean the Back To '95 novelty day sessions for ex-ravers who've managed to get a babysitter for the evening. I don't want to stop going clubbing just because I'm not a twentysomething student - I listen to dance music pretty much constantly and it doesn't make sense to me that I should feel less welcome at a club, when I can go to gigs and see lots of people in their 50s and 60s having a good time without seeming out of place. At the same time I don't want dance music to become stagnant and feel shepherded into events where the headliners are the DJs I saw ten, fifteen years ago.

who is this anyway?
even now I feel old and out of place. I remember about six months before lockdown I was chatting my cousin and her pals and they were going to see Patrick Topping and some Hot Creations event, and I was saying I was going to see Young Marco so maybe I would meet them afterwards. They didn't get it, "who is that?" and "this doesn't sound like house music", which makes sense as people who've grown up ten years later than me will have a very different interpretation of what it is to mine.

@boxedjoy That’s what I love about the sketchy crew from sound systems, no-one gives a fuck who you are just as long as you don’t act like a cock and chip in some shrapnel on the bucket whip round for the generator
it might take a summer (aug bank hols 2022), but the Lake District plus a farm that the filth can’t section, complete with 150-200 savages....

On the dance floor horizontally or vertically?
My Dad passed out at my kid sister’s wedding (after everyone has just about left to be fair) and when we asked what was happening he gurgled that grass was growing in his eye, so only polite to say hello and shake hands. 75, in his best suit, front crawl swimming nowhere
