- Rave Culture is one of Britain’s great cultural exports, but after its first wave in the late eighties and early nineties, it was soon forced into the underground by stringent new laws and superclubs. But forward 25 years into in the midst of a nationwide purge on the nation’s nightlife, where nearly half of all British clubs have shut down in the last decade, and a new kind of scene has emerged.
Clive Martin investigates this 21st century version of Rave, where young people break into disused spaces with the help of bolt-cutters and complicated squatting laws, to suck on balloons and go hard into the early morning.
But with the police using increasingly extreme tactics to clamp down on these parties, and more than one fatality causing nationwide media panic, can the scene survive?

WE NEED THE TRACK LIST HURRY
FOR HUMANITY
The girls from Liverpool said it best. The reason raves are coming back is because clubs now are all stuck up, people get too drunk and rowdy and no one lets them selves go, they stand awkwardly and take Snapchat's. Raves are actually fun, like clubs should be.
yup, that exactly why i never go out anymore. the only things i go to are house partys now, and even then you really need the right people or else its shit
There's nothing wrong with shutting down these hellholes. It's full of whores, drug addicts and degenerates.
they get too rowdy but don't let themselves go? wtf you don't make any sense bud
greg spencer that's true, miss the gabber days in rotterdam
exactly, shitty music, shitty people, many people are affraid to dance, because they would be laughed at
go there in jeans and normal t-shirt? forget it
just social network prostitution

@jmarks881 did u not spot me on that dragon's back? Oldskool uber! 😂😂
the statement from scumtek was probably one of the most professional and reasonable things ive ever heard from a rave/drug group. They know what they are doing.
Very knowledgeable and articulate, yeah!
lol you done
rave/drug group you've clearly no idea what you're chatting about people who go to free parties do it because they don't enjoy the corporatized regimented high street night life so they tend to be smart people
Mag - you have to admit alot of them also just want to do sniff and not be judged
@@lucasrhys0363 also true lmao
All these raves have one thing in common: a really nice woman attends all of them. She's beautiful, outgoing, she makes you feel like a real man. She's always so understanding. She doesn't nag you about anything. She tells you you're doing the right thing, no matter what. I met her a few times.. I think her name was.. Molly..
Her friend Mary Jane is alway close by as well
I did know her younger sister. Elizabeth. Also alot of fun
best one x_X
Disgusting! You should be ashamed.
@@boarbot7829 lol cry about it

The stricter law, the deeper underground they go.
M N zion rave
Which is just so dangerous.The more secretive they become the more likely unscrupulous people will come.You also run a huge danger of the secreacy causing people to die.If someone is overdosing people wont want to call the police due to them fearing the party getting shut down.
And the more dangerous they become
@@dcfanchris And more fun. There is a good resone why People want to have a "private" party.
@@dcfanchris i totally disagree.
At a RAVE we are responsible for each other.
The older ones watch those who are not yet used to know their own limits, bring water or whatever it takes to make somebody who is in a bad condition feel comfortable again.
It was like that - Always!
This kind of unselfish acting is what Techno and music in general is made of.
So stop beeing scared and talk about what could happen. Go there, have the best RAVE of your life, take care of the younger ones and revieve Techno to what it actually was in its early days.

I played at hundreds of "illegal" raves around 2010-15 .... Best partys I ever played at and in some messed up places, including a graveyard and an abandoned military fort.
Cool story brah
can you come to the US and do more, ill buy in
My illegal rave time was done by 2005 and had witnessed the scene change massively but very glad to see it still going these days. However, Would rather attend legal hard house events these days that have truly kept the POSITIVE vibe alive. No NOS and little ket...
42yr old dj still got 90 percent of the tracks from 1990/96 era on records.
I feel like doing the same for the oldskool ravers.
How can I find your events? This is what I am looking for? What is your Dj nickname? Thank you in advance!

I'm 37 now and I haven't been to a proper underground rave since 2004, but those nights still remain my most wonderful and special memories. Two raves in particular really stand out "first two nights I tried MDMA and back when it was pure in 1999" The tracks that were played still stir up emotions I don't get from nothing else. It was all about love and feeling connected to everyone. The atmosphere was perfect, nobody took too much, everyone looked out for reach other, making sure you didn't get too hot or drink too much water, just perfect all around. I wouldn't trade those nights for anything!
Classic shit! I grew up in Detroit and experienced the most capturing time of my in the scene! Not one regret and it was a staple in my youth / young adulthood. I’m 36 btw
nailed it
Word!! I have a few older friends who raved back in the 90's and then others who did when we were in HS in the early 2000's (I'm almost 32 now), and I wish that I had gone to them back then!! I've heard so many great stories from other OG ravers, I liken them to how the scene was when I first started raving back in '09..way more PLUR and music-oriented. The scene has always had its ebbs and flows, but it has DEF changed quite significantly over the last 10 years, ever since it's become more mainstream/legalized due to EDC and other EDM festivals..which don't get me wrong, I love festivals, I just miss underground illegal parties too lol..esp desert parties!
'95 to '98 for me best days of my life. 39 now and Ill never forget a thing. Damn glad I never had to stand in the cold
I'm the same age I done all this and I can hardly remember anything
I'm a 55 year old farmer from Australia and this resonates with me in such a positive way. Youth having fun. The war on drugs is barbaric and has caused much harm but it has led to cool cultures like underground raves. Go kids.
You're cool af
Amazing
I finally see someone in the Older Aussie Farmer stereotype... and they're based and cool
love seeing the reporter get into it, really great that vice sends out people who are open to this type of experience
''32 police officers and a dog had been injured"
Me:No not the dog
I hope the dog is ok!!!
Lol, my thoughts exactly.
Not sure how it is in the UK, but in the US if you injure or kill a police K9 you get charged with harming or killing an officer.
poor dog :(
@@chucklebutt4470 great to hear
all of the people from wales and liverpool seem really nice lol. probably the mdma. definitely the mdma.
Almost all the illegal drugs come to England through the port in Liverpool. They are right at the source.
I think you're on to something Holmes lool 😂
I thought drugs would make people bad and violent ? Wait the government lied to us 😳😂
I went to Wales for raves a few times and even without MDMA the people are proper chilled, great country.
Danyrox 91 bath salts have entered the chat
Man this brought back memories of my teen years and young adult life. I'm 35 and I still have a few of these raves left in me lol. Freedom to party is the freedom to live. Great documentary. Music dance liberation!
VICE has done a fair job of capturing many different cultural phenomena, sometimes with impressive results. However, the magic and feeling of a rave is something that's impossible to put to words or capture on film, and I think this video only serves to underscore that point. The best parties will never be filmed, and it's for the best.
Unless it's a gonzo report with like 10 punters with cameras hidden on their person and they film it .. then edit it and put it together..
Parties everywhere.
Well said, the FEEL cannot be transported from the crowd / moment it's happening in
Nice to see the youngs living it >:D
Know what you mean,exactly. Put it well!!!! Rave on you crazy diamond!!!!!
22:29 possibly best part xD

Xavier Roberts Maybe in America but not here, we get proper gear, it gets imported from the dam most the time
@Xavier Roberts
Well not in the Netherlands.. xtc is actually getting better... depends on where and who you buy it from really..
fooglez it was glorious i remember jumping around New years eve wearing a be top and jeans in the snow and dancing as the sun came up Some time in the 90s in Some field on the middle of nowhere. Noone had mobile phones and there was No internet so you would meet up at service stations on the highway and go in a convoy..... Amazing
i love how most of the vice guys seem pretty chill compared to average media, they kinda fit in a look like they might eve have a little fun sometimes.
It’s amazing how history repeats itself. The same thing happened in Sacramento at the turn of the century until promoters and cities realized how much money was involved and then you saw the big venues open up in San Fran and surrounding areas to capitalize and soon after the scene died. I imagine now it’s back underground. This all takes me back. I applaud the kids for taking it into their own hands and giving police a run for their money;)
"Have you got any water? I'm dying of thirst"... Lmfao..
He actually looked dried up af, his lips were almost inverting lol
Yeah hoping he got some
Gotta stay hydrated. Also, the fuckers who laced beer with Ketamine that killed that kid are scum. Don't fucking lace anything, ffs *oh, watched the rest of the video and I guess the kid knew but without knowing the dose or tolerance took too much. That sucks. Kids, it's OK to do drugs, but have someone with you with some experience to keep an eye out
@@chucklebutt4470 wasn't laced. in the video he said they put it in the beer as a group to take the ket through drinking it but he overdosed by drinking it all at once
@@chucklebutt4470 but 100% there are some proper fuckheads that lace shit. always buy it yourself and test before you use it
Lotsa people on molly die from to much water
Raving in london mid late 90s was .... a dream. Very little incidents, organisers were lovely , ravers looked after each other and we never felt unsafe.
Such fun times, people genuinely wanted to dance and have fun, just and only that.

Drugs are ruining rave culture everywhere
True & well said!!! Ps glad to see your brother Andy's finally put the snickers down!!

I used to love going to these do's in the 90's. Highlight of my life 🙂
I felt a huge sense of nostalgia watching this. I used to live in East and went to lots of raves in the early 00's. It was a hidden, underground, magical world full of great music, love and euphoria. Ive never experienced anything like it since. I will forever cherish those memories it was a brillant time in my life.
A great documentary which took me back to the good old days.
Should have been there in the early 90s

Respect keep the scene alive I am 55 and still travel the UK for a Illegal Halloween Party. Now taking my son and nephews along. Respect from Norfolk and Good.
Vice needs to do a follow up on this and these folks to see if they are still doing the parties or if they have resorted proper venues. Also to see how if the law is cracking down harder or lightening up. I hope the law is easing up because these kids aren't fighting or killing each other its all about love and love for the music. Respect to these guys throwin down!!!
in the US, they would have arrested everyone outside, searched inside the warehouse, chased the ones who ran, shoot a couple with tasers, tackle the last one, and say job well done.
It's not illegal in the US....
thats why you have shite raves and politics
what makes you think police are not brutal in uk? have you been in a situation with uk police? no you watched an online video. ugh
in California they usually just tell people to go home if the have enough police to kick everyone out.

This was a quality piece of work. I was 13 in 1990 My education was Music, Vynil, Tapes Always felt circular in a square place. Music unites, Repetative beats, timed drops, Piano, every instrument , fuck your beer, vodka WHISKEY MEN. Aye OK Hector Hard Man. Local pubs in the 90s were Fucking class. Thursday night pints. "One more day One More day" the mantra all day. Let me tell you this. All those fridays Taken off, Wish id doubled them. Circumstances being a weekend astronaut, we drove all over the country. Stayed in Liverpool. "2 hour drive every Saturday. It had come indoors but when you got there. Tribal union. Coming back to now. Ive been in lockdown. fuck, 5 weeks. Not a worry for me. Before this my drum was dying man. The young guys doing this are gonna save something special. Im packing my books, getting rid of the fucking rest. All those years those elusive places . All those Hells. Duality 1+1=0. Need to go sunset tune. Toilet role emergency, geez fucking peace.

They want to do it because it's natural not because it's not allowed. What's wrong about dancing and jumping around?
its the drug involvement thats not allowed because otherwise there are clubs and house parties
i dote
Yea. Are the drugs really necessary to go wild? Is there no other way?
probably not...thats why its very difficult to stop drug use after you start them
i dote
It's possible. But to get to that natural state without the initiation of drugs is probably hard. People are cowards in the beginning, so they do drugs to see themselves. There has to be a rolemodel or a teacher who knows all the steps.
what im saying is, even if you think you have attained the natural state and then you use drugs, it will be a challenge coming out of it because drugs probably get you in a higher state than you can imagine
have you got any water? i'm dying of thirst
people in these kinds of parties tend to get really thirsty lol

This is one of the best Vice vids out. Period
30 Years ago in America, and NYC we called them outlaws. They were held in warehouses, under bridges and in fields. 90% of the time the cops broke our balls. The Music was Hardcore, Hard Techno and Acid Trance. This is a Global Culture, it will never end!
Sober raver here. I enjoy all sorts of music. Why are raves tracked down when most hard rock metal concerts are full of drugs but supported by the law? Party and be safe. Focus on being safe.
no offense and I don't mean to sound elitist but you honestly cant understand what rave is if you haven't dropped md at one
Who needs md when you have dnb?! Maybe some bears and a little skunk to release a litle bit and u in the front line like they say playing the game ;) md is diferent to everybody some people dont even like and start to feel bad, understand that make sense to you, but I dont think so, anyway is just opinions, in the end I think music is what moves people and the rigth to party drugs are a consequence not from raves, from every world in any kind of things
Mdma doesnt do a damn thing to me anymore, i still love concerts/raves. I guess i still have the memories but the music is definitely the biggest part by far for me anymore. Get a few drinks or do a little blow sometimes is enough for me
I have been to many metal shows the only drug I have seen is pot. In genral metal shows are at proper venues so there is nothing illegal

not Bonnaroo '02. mate.
It's survived for 40 years so far, so it will keep surviving. Some of my best nights have been illegal raves in the 90s and 00s.
There's a possibility that it HAS to be illegal for people to enjoy it--that the kind of partying it is involves not just "fun" (doing drugs and being very physically attractive) but the defiance of it is a big part of what makes it thrilling for the people that are into it.
So, keeping it illegal keeps it happening, and legalizing it makes it stop for the most part.
Remember, it's not the parties themselves that are illegal, it's selling booze without a license, and selling illegal drugs.
your comment is kinda right, the things you say are correct imo but there are more aspects about it too, it's not the only thing that makes us want to do illegal parties... And yeah, maybe they should start with legalizing those things first :p
@@supahdupah02 What I meant was that what makes people want to do it is the drugs, but a major thrill for a lot of people comes from the fact that they feel they're getting away with doing something illegal.
I'm so pleased that these kids can experience what I and many others experienced in the late 80's & 90's, and that they're keeping this special scene alive.
YUP, in 88 the umbrella of rave drew in the 70s punks, rockers and hippies and falkland vets, it crossed 3 generations, it helped smashed hooliganism as mdma outsmarted cocoaine in a hearbeat , it does not discriminate in age, looks, gender, financial status, race, creed or being ugly/beautiful, you just gota want to be part of something outside of what we all keep being told to be in society. Fuckin rave on x
Break-in's were the norm for the rave scene in the 90's. I participated in quite a few of them. It's very cool to see it return and very cool to see a new generation of kids digging it.
Oh i hope someone breaks into your home one day.
Harald von Hinten nice
@@haraldvonhinten8921 They're breaking into abandonned warehouses not houses you idiot
Yeah, I went to several all over London and the surrounding areas. Usually in condemned office blocks that were security fenced, the laws at the time preventing officers from forcing entry. There'd be someone on the gate unlocking to let people in as they arrived. I went to one a few minutes walk from London Bridge station, but since it wasn't as residential then, people didn't care all that much about the noise and the buildings were usually pretty much gutted before anyone arrived, so there was no criminal damage. Just a soundsystem, a lot of people, and dealers lining the hallways lol. I never had a bad experience at any of the squat parties or forest raves I went to in the nineties and early 2000s before I moved out of London.
The wealth divide is too big, the kids too skint, and they don't want to drink, or listen to the more commercial music in the club's. I'm lucky in that I live in Bristol and there are still a lot of good music venues here, some of them while not exactly drug friendly, do turn a blind eye, and there's a fair amount of musical diversity. But there's something about an illegal rave that's just so much more uplifting and euphoric, even without the drug aspects.
I had the pleasure of attending a rave like this, on a farm in North Devon, in 2007. I was 33yrs old at the time...everyone else 18yrs...lol. What an awesome time!!

Honestly Raves are heaps of fun though
Atomic Gamez oh hello yeah I miss those days
I was introduced to the rave scene when i was 15, my first rave took place on top of the biggest cemetery in Queens, partying on the mounds of dirt from the graves. It even got shut down which made it much more memorable. My short lived DJ career also started in the rave scene.
Moshpits are funner
you get pits at the gooduns man, half the tek and core heads i know are into punk, crust or metal as well. I'd love to see more shit like this come to the punk scene. Not that there aren't squat parties, but I'd love to see that scene grow to this kinda scale!
Nah they are retard
I used to deal at rave clubs and warehouse parties '94 to '98 and NEVER sold to kids...never. When other runners did so it brought our whole scene down

Maybe if you didn’t spend so much time on YT you would’ve noticed your primarchs falling to chaos

Dear Vice,
May I please have a list of the soundtrack used for this movie?
Yours sincerely,
Lover of good music.
Dave Wilson, just buy any Drum n Bass compilation, as it all sounds the same anyway...
@@WARTV-dn5fk it’s not even drum and bass you spastic
So glad this is still happening.Reminds me of the good old days! Clubs are so corporate bland these days. Big Up!
shame the police declined to interview. i was honestly curious about their reasons behind banning these raves.
+Drunken Ira Hayes That is a much used argument, that doesn't really take into account that all those things also happen when people go to legal clubs or bars...
+Whazzar Legal clubs and bars have INSURANCE, and also have BOUNCERS, and the staff are SUPPOSED to prevent drug use if they witness it. So there's a bit of a different between this and legal clubs
Yeah I don't really get why they want those raves to be legal. It beeing illegal seems for most of the people there to be a big part of the thrill. No bouncers and regulations and since most of them are either 16 or act like they are still 16 they all love to rebel against authorities.
Thinking with my adult mind, I'd be concerned about having 800 people in one place that's not equipped for that many people, what if a fire started? It's happened before and people get trapped inside and burn to death, that's pretty serious.
i mean, it'd be real nice if it weren't made illegal then
*Nothing illegal here.* ...... are you sure about that?
I've been to a "free party" before they are all on pills and coke lol first and last time i go, was just an atmosphere of zombies
When I went to one, first thing I heard was "Has anyone seen my beak?"
Danny Richie you go to a rave party sober? Hahahahahaha
Haszyszyn HSN nah I go and see live metal bands that actually have talent of making melodic compositions with real instruments. A rave where everybody is gurning to some sub par shite isn't for me anymore.
ohh mr richie so sophisticated, so classy haha
34:50 My new favourite word is "fuckery".
You had me at the hard dance. I'd be there in a heartbeat if I lived in England.
How can it be anti social of its more then 1 person socialising? Stupidest law ever wtf.
Dimitri T anti-social is not a literal term... you fucking moron. It means more anti-society as in, annoying loud music, drugs, alchohol, etc
They should ban sitting alone playing video games. Cuz that is anti social =)
I wonder if Havik and his crew ever saw this video and regretted those threats they made?
Phantomshotgun that’s messed up
Phantomshotgun yeah ofc they regret it, now they obviously are understanding that its VICE and they have no interest to get someone arrested
I think chances are Vice itself is being watched closer than they realise, so it's not improbable that an association could be made.
9ff70f96 Vice got McAfee arrested before, so, yeah
Valentine's 2020 was my first rave back in February best time of my life
That was wild in the end, that they actually made it into the warehouse, after all. Whoa, who knew there'd be already so many ppl in there? There certainly wasn't any way to tell from the outside that there was a full-blown rave going down in there.
i wish i was cool enough to go to a rave
+0oo0CLOUD0oo0 ironic??? you mean sarcastic ? LMAOOO
+0oo0CLOUD0oo0 Your username...
Auto-correct does not correct Sarcastic to Ironic you bellflick
same here, I would NEVER GO TO A RAVE. if I went to a rave people would laugh at me because i have no rhythm and am 15 pounds overweight
wtf lol
I need to get there. The sound is still utterly mental.
by "there", I mean the British underground
sounds really cool

Going to raves was some of the best times of my life when i was in my 20s
I started raving in NY in 1996 at 15 years old, and started DJing soon after. Spent tons of time raving in Toronto in the late 90's - around 2010. Definitely some of the most special times I've ever had in my life happened either in front of or behind the DJ equipment. Got to experience WMC and Ultra Music Festival several times before it was the "cool thing to do" and basically a piece of 💩 mainstream money grab. Always wanted to spend some time in the UK scene, unfortunately it didn't happen. An underground rave in the UK has always been at the top of my bucket list, whether it's DJing it or just going as another raver. They definitely have always had something special going on over there when it comes to dance music. Hopefully they keep it going so future generations can experience everything it has to offer.
Twenty years ago i was into the same thing and I'm happy that the next generation still wants to carry on the tradition, albeit that the inner cities are all camera'ed up making things a lot more difficult in present day.
The need for freedom and to express yourself never dies.
I was in the Portland, Oregon rave scene starting in 2000 to like 2006. It was some of the best experiences of my life. It opened my mind and turned me into a better person.
I can totally relate (though my own experiences date a lot later + were mostly on mostly legal parties).
*This* is exactly what is missing from all media coverage I have ever seen: The connectedness, the caring, loving culture, everyone asking everyone if they are okay, if they drank enough water...it's just one big family. Much love to all ravers and dancers and lovers of electronic music
Whoot whoot, 420 crew present.....Portlands scene got a start by like 98, 99. Then full swing by 01. Went to a warehouse party that got shut down early. Miss those days and the crews that ran the streets. Portlands dead
I was still really small but I went to some raves with my cousins and honestly those parties were bonkers. Parties today are so bland. Kids are just taking pictures the whole time, they don't even speak to one another, just oggle each other down like some kind of filth. Really nasty environment.
The 90's in the US '95-'98 best days of my life!!
That's exactly the time and place I started going to my first ones. I used to go to after hours raves at the Paris theater near burnside. Watching this took me back, to some deep woods hardcore events. I prefer the legal festivals now, lol. I don't mind spending the money to not be hassled
Loved raving from 89 - 2000. It was an amazing culture to be a part of ❤️
Is great to see party kids still in the scene....I'm fkn old now, 42, but was a part of the scene from '94-'03 here in the States....it was fucking awesome but he had to deal with the same issues of cops not understanding the culture.....we did have massive festivals, my favorite was in the DC Armory.... shit was awesome....driving up and down the East Coast, city to city, massive warehouse parties, after parties, meeting people that you didn't know but would give you the shirt off their back, spot in their bed for the night, ........the good ole days 🙃......getting old sucks, happens to the best of us, just happy to see another generation pushing the same ideals we had......
Awesome, glad to hear illegal raves are still happening. I enjoyed the late 80s early 90 raves. At the time, I never realised that I was part of a dawning culture and was just enjoying and living it. The excitement of being part of a dance trend is a buzz in itself, being at an illegal rave just heightens that excitement. People are always going to push the boundaries, its part of learning and growing and it creates some truly exciting memories based on an underworld culture. Raves are about acceptance and a joining of minds. Didn't matter who your were, where you came from or what you did for a living, you were all there for the same buzz. There are always going to be individual casualties in whatever risky activity you do. Give people the knowledge to enjoy it as safely as possible, because, it isnt going to stop them even if you create a culture of ignorance and more fatalities will occur due to the ignorance culture. Anyway, love it - Let's av'it! :-)
Why
tldr old man
Raves seem more like an excuse to be high and pissed
Electric Bear I miss it
you're breaking the law, you are not allowed to break and enter into people's property how would you like it if i broke into you're place and threw a party? do it at you're place or rent a place to have a party do not break and enter into people's property
It's sad that 90's dance scene in the UK died before I got old enough to experience it
Splozy same man
Never to old to rave
It was great 🙃
The US too, I'm so grateful I had that time. I will never forget that amazing time
It isn't dead at all, it's fuckin booming.
I'm 17 and I've been to a few raves like this but in Melbourne Australia. One in the city bush area and one in the middle of nowhere in an abandoned shed. Police would come shut it down all the time or chat about what was going on. in the video when they said "When you get a message of the location at 10pm, you get a feeling of excitement", that's so true. I think the best part is getting to the rave bc you don't know where it is. I loved going to the few I went to but bad stuff would happen. a girl got stabbed that I went to a different rave with. I think the girl that stabbed her thought she was someone else or was on drugs, maybe both or she said something to her. all sorts has happened, good and bad.
As an American that has gotten older but been to many legal and thrown together rave’s, even met a few famous DJ’ s (AK1200 twice working one of the events. DJ baby Ann aka the queen of bass (Miami Florida). DJ Casey Passed away in a 4wheeler wreck. Dj Fixx of New York.) It’s a dream of mine to visit the UK and go to one of these due to the fact that “electro/electronic/D&B” or whatever you want to call it was born there. Thanks VICE for this video! Especially on the grounds that’s it’s my most wanted place to visit in the world! 🍻🏴☠️
