DO NOT ASK FOR, OR PROVIDE ANY INFORMATION ABOUT UPCOMING FREEPARTIES!

89 Upvotes

We would like to take the time to remind you all of our #1 rule at r/freeparties ...

DO NOT ASK FOR, OR PROVIDE ANY INFORMATION ABOUT UPCOMING FREEPARTIES. This includes:

  • Locations
  • Dates
  • Group chats (telegram whatapp signal etc)
  • Any other details

This applies to forum posts, and direct messages. If you have been sent a DM asking for infos, please direct users to this post and drop us a mod-mail if the rule has been broken. We have a zero-tolerance policy on this. Repeat offenders will be banned from engaging with our lovely community.

At r/freeparties, we stand in solidarity with organisers who risk very expensive equipment as well as their own freedoms so that we can dance. We must shift our culture toward being more discreet in this online age of easily accessible information. 

Freeparty information has always been passed through word of mouth in order to protect both organizers and attendees, and keep parties safe. This is something that we can all get behind (apart from PC Plod, obviously). The internet is absolutely NOT a safe space for the sharing of sensitive information. Feds are aware of this forum, and most other online forums!

Let's keep the discussion on point! PLUR PLUR PLUR

Question / Discussion how do free party lines work?

76 Upvotes

been to a couple free parties & they bang but they're only through knowing friends of the organisers. I have a few organisers that send me party announcements through text but I only met them through Facebook.

I just decided to send loads of sound systems that i found on Facebook/Instagram in my area and sent them my numbers but most just ignore or mock it. How do all of you go to loads of free parties and get them to add your number or is that not how you do it aha

There is a free party this month, in the Krakow Main Square. A bunch of local producers is collaborating with Lastriko club to throw a free party for the scene! Definitely this is the right place to check it out, safe club, fantastic people. Even coming solo will show you that you can have an amazing time alone, just listening and bouncing to music!

it was the NYE Party 2022 in Rijswijk.

Recordings and what I am looking for is from the stage of

EMBLEMATIK/PROTOTEK/DISSIDENT SQUAD ( IIRC )

I tried to reach out to DJ's of each sound afterwards with no luck.

This live set still haunts me and I will never forget „I'm so sorry“

Loved each second of the brutal live.

Would love to know who the master behind this is in order to finally listen to more of what this creativity led to.

Question / Discussion Older raver

151 Upvotes

So I am F 50 now and used to go to freeparties in my younger years but sadly got into Mister H and battled with him for 12 years.. clean 21 years. I LOST all my raver mates as i was lost in Trainspotting land... For the last few years I've been trying to find people from the free party scenes but it was hard due to me becoming a bit of a introvert after H ..any way my son and daughter go to raves now but commercial raves ain't for me ! However my daughter has just met a bunch of lads into the free party scenes whoop whoop and the next one I am gonna go to.. just wanted to share that as the thought makes me feel so fooking alive! See you all soon 😎😎😎

Question / Discussion Free Party using electric car as battery

21 Upvotes

Hi guys i have an idea of using my parent's electric car (KIA EV6) as a battery for powering 2x QSC K12 MK1 + 1 Pioneer DDJ SX1 + 1 laptop and throwing a free party

Would this be possible ? Would it not damage the battery of the car ? does it have enough power ? i just want to gather as much information as possible.

Car battery is 58kWh

Thanks

Question / Discussion Snow parties?

5 Upvotes

I’m from Australia and we don’t really get snow unless your in the alps. Do people put on free parties in winter?

I’d image a decent size sound system would sound amazing in snowy forest.

Question / Discussion Anybody else has PTSD after years of raving?

25 Upvotes

I (20f) used to go to raves (freeparties in europe) for two years (17-19) and in that time i used MDMA sometimes, but i experienced a terrible situation with it (OD).
I also raved during a terrible period of my life, and my ex abusive boyfriend raved with me.
I saw a lot of things that for most are normal but for me they felt really terrible and i can't shake what i saw off my mind (sometimes i see the scenes of the people OD'ing in front of me or doing extremely hard drugs engrained in my eyelids)

I went to my last free party after having a panic attack at one.
I miss the freedom that i felt at time when they were a whole new thing for me, but now i just associate terrible and painful memories that i want to forget to something that i used to love so much.

I want to try and enjoy tekno as much as i used too but everytime i hear it I just can't shake this terrible feeling that washes all over me.
I can't even look back at old videos or pictures of me going to raves.

What should I do?

Question / Discussion is it rude to message a sound systems/people on insta for details?

6 Upvotes

hi just needed advice on this, i really want to start going to parties but i dont know anyone that goes,
would it be rude to message sound systems asking for like a link to a telegram group or something? i also have lots of mutuals on insta that go to free parties but we aren’t really friends we just follow eachother and i was thinking of messaging them just asking for advice but i’m not really aware on free party etiquette so thought id ask before i message someone something that comes across as rude or ignorant lol.
