I am forever grateful to the people who pioneer and push this technology. Especially, to OM3 for inviting me to perform in his space before I was even truly VR capable. I literally limped and glitched my way to the stage you see at 9:30 but had a blast and got to experience the support and enthusiasm the community has for underground electronic music. Now, I live in an area (Alabama) that is completely void of electronic music let alone any proper clubs playing anything besides top 40, rap, and country. There's nothing wrong with that, but that's just all there is. As melonslices said VR has become a lifeline. Only a week into finally getting a proper setup and visiting these legendary spaces it has been, for lack of a better term, healing. I feel like I can finally be a part of the music, community, and culture I love without the limitations of geography. Amazing work everyone who made this documentary possible!
Finally i can share this video to friends that can not understand what im doing there with my club. This community is passion in person! I love you all so much ❤
@@ResidentAdvisor i really feel you take the time Really good work, you've done a good job of highlighting the music aspects like the different genres and the freedom of the map but what I think is great is that you've also shown that it can be a save-space for many and that this community is friendly. If you want more content in this area, I'm always happy to help you. Greetings

Big ups! Shout out to Sophie and the RA team for covering the VR rave scene with such depth and highlighting some of the most progressive projects in the space. We're appreciative to be a part of it!
That was an INCREDIBLE video. Very well researched and put together. As a former AAA dev who moved to Berlin and is active in the scene while also working on VR projects and dabbling in VR chat, absolutely loved this.
Thank you for giving our scene a platform and sharing our story. Much love from the VR scene, and for putting the japanese clubs in there, Credit to everyone who made this Much love from the japanese scene as well
beautifully told introduction, it's so amazing to see the people in our community get a platform like this to tell their story and share our joint love for the scene. thank you everyone who was involved!!
Videos like these always give me motivation to hop on VRC and join a party somewhere and just vibe. Also, thank you for using that video clip for the ending. That night held many great memories of a 13 hour Alpopup
more great coverage of this scene, I truly hope the talent here gets the recognition and compensation it deserves because they are miles ahead of the "industry" right now. I also hope the underground can reclaim some of the spaces in real cities that it has lost over the past few decades
SO great to see more long standing scene publications catching on. With the exception of the cost, travel, other people's sweat, and other physical aspects of going in person - vr clubbing with a good setup and bass haptics is very, VERY close to the real thing, with some experences that exceed what is possible in person today. It's entirely adjunct and while it's different... not that different. And this is coming from the voice of a hullabaloo raver in the toronto scene, from long ago.
Awesome job! Coming from someone thats been working this scene since the start of DDVR you were right on the money! Thank you so much for making this video!❤️
Awesome video, just a reminder for those looking to join, most of this is on the "backend" of vrchat, and is not publicly listed when you install the game, you'll need to join the discord server, or find the clubs on twitter, and add someone to your friends list, and then you join off them. In that sense it's an underground scene, but I assure you, EVERYONE is incredibly welcoming and friendly, and there are plenty who will help you out!
I just installed VRChat and wish I read this first. Couldn't figure out how to access any of the clubs mentioned in this video. I have a Quest 1 headset and it already crashed once saying it ran out of memory. Do these rooms only work with PCVR?
@@therishdizzle I believe Tube/Conduit is Quest compatible. I started on Quest standalone so I know where you are coming from. The entire VRChat experience is waaay different and exponentially better on PC. If you can get a capable PC you can use your Quest as a wireless or tethered headset.
Awesome video~! I'm all for the musik and this video showcases the talent, creativity and hard work put into these worlds! I also need track ID 16:20 the tunes are killing me ahaha. Much love to the vr rave community~!
Thank you for the great research and presentation in this. I was around when it was almost solely EDM style stuff and seeing the evolution of the scene has been incredible.
This is the best video explaining why the VRC club scene is great and cutting edge. We have our crew throwing events this past year im VR and some of them are now my best friends. Thank you everyone at RA for making this.
Oh the VRChat club world has changed and improved my life. What really works for me is when the DJ interacts with the crowd,when I see them move and have fun with us.
So fuckin cool to see so many friends in this, this community is pushing electronic back to every genre's golden age and making it last and its beautiful
Very impressive depth and breadth of coverage! I've been to most of the clubs you've featured, so you've obviously spent a great deal of time clubbing yourself! Especially enjoyed the creator's descriptions of their club architecture.
Excellent video! Going into a VRclub with my woojer vest, feeling the base, hearing and watching the people, really is a transcendental experience. The future is here folks!
thank you so much for this.. the power of the message, creating a platform for you to BE YOURSELF, this is evolution manifesting. I hope I can experience this beautiful clubs soon !! Thank you RA !!
Love seeing positive representations of VR and in depth introductions of scenes like this! I'm still getting into it, mostly go to Shelter, but having mainstream publications like these introduce different venues actually teach me what's out there.
One big reason why I go to vr events quite often is the perks of it. You can go to bed right away if you feel like it. No need to suffer on a long commute home afterwards. This means hungovers are basically non existent and it's so much cheaper than irl.
Holy crap, how old are some of these clips? even I show up near the end. lol .. honestly a very great Doc on this and a lot of research was done with this. happy to see that so many old and new names were mentioned.
This is incredible. What is the social interaction like? Is it a fluent part of the online experience? The social aspect is touched on in this mini documentary, but it’s a critical aspect for me. Aside from the sensory experience that I get from immersion in the sound and sensation of the music, I have ascertained that the sanctuary that we find is a huge aspect of dance culture for me - time out from the less kind aspects of the outside world, in a space where we tend towards equality. I know of the sanctuary in dancefloors and dance spaces within disco that was an essential environment for unity and escape for minority groups, and how that was really foundational to our dance culture. We know of how that was massive for gay people, melanated people, minority cultures. Well, it turns out that all of this time it is what I found too - because I’m Autistic. I just didn’t know it. So, all of this time the acceptance and ability to just be me was an enormous health benefit. The retreat of dancefloors in the pandemic, and adverse experiences that I have had arising from ‘finding me’ and ‘coming out’ has sent me backwards, really knocked me around - so I’m struggling to get back out amongst people. It has been horrendous. I just wonder if I would find healthy, inclusive environments here - to add variety of experience, but also to help me limber up and get back out where I belong.
lifelong friends are formed on the VR dance floors. the social interaction is faster, deeper, less superficial, and more interconnected than IRL. everyone knows everyone and many could call hundreds their friends.
This is very very cool. As a raver on a sabbatical (rasing kids) this is something I would definitely like to dip my toe in. Underground culture continues to evolve

Imagine that: a club experience, with a fridge full of beer, all my living room space to dance and no fucking ketaheads bumping into you all the time
Amazing work RA, Thank you for including CONCRETE and all the other amazing places and talented people !
more great coverage of this scene, I truly hope the talent here gets the recognition and compensation it deserves because they are miles ahead of the "industry" right now. I also hope the underground can reclaim some of the spaces in real cities that it has lost over the past few decades
amazing video!!! all of you were so well-spoken with the interviews!! also psyched some 1q84 footage made the cut

The vibe of this comment section is restoring my faith in humanity 💫
GO PROJECT 1Q84!!
Vr chat raves are so fun since i live on my own during covid i was really lonely but then i discovered vr chat raves and had a great time
Thanks for introducing me to this. Truely amazing.
A very well made and informative video. I can definitely confirm, going to VR club events helped me build the confidence to go to IRL ones too.
Awesome work!
You made me want to explore these realms myself xD
Love to all the ravin alpacas at the end 🌈🖖
FYI for anyone with an Oculus/Meta Quest 1 or 2, this won't work on your headset unless you hook it up to a gamer PC
Thanks for this video!
Man what a amazing video to showcase and explain this amazing community.
can anyone tell me the song that starts 16:04 through to 18:00 ?
Looking forward to this 🫶
One of the positives of the pandemic was getting me into the virtual DJ space! Such a massive community and cool things really moving forward.
Amazing visuals, amazing music- Good stuff!
Amazing video. Thank you for spotlighting these communities!
anyone have track ID on the song that plays in the intro? its actually so good and ive been looking for a while

This is really fantastic, you guys did an excellent job of showcasing what we do 🙂
I love this scene so much
WOW Thhis documentary is amazing so creative !
This is heaven. Just need a few influencers from instagram to join and everyone is here.
Man, this gives me chills... amazing.
I love the idea of a busy dancefloor but where you've still got space to move wildly without smacking people
love this scene and the freedom it has! hopefully more people would like to join in after seeing this! ^_^
Great video! Really shining a light onto this space!
27:57 That ending was so cute. I just discover another awesome song! :D

16:18 whats the track name?
Wow this was eye opening!
Can someone help me get involved
This is pretty damn rad. Where does one get started with this? Hitting the Googles but if anyone has any advice, I'd love to hear it!
Buy a headset and then join some of the discords. And if you cant find them just ask in the vrchat discord.
amazing documentary
Can’t wait 🎈
Amazing showcase !
