Before you ask what raves are happening on any date... (How to find events in NYC)

533 Upvotes

If you're new to raves and related events, or just visiting from out of town, and are trying to find an event to attend on a particular date, you should first check out Resident Advisor, and for more mainstream EDM events see EDMTrain before asking this sub.

These websites list the majority of parties and electronic music events happening in NYC on any given night, along with the ability to buy tickets, and links to the artists playing so you have an idea of what kind of music you will hear that night.

You can also keyword search this sub and probably find your questions already answered about almost any venue or party. For example, if you had a question about Elsewhere, you can use the search bar up top and type 'elsewhere' to find hundreds of discussions about the venue.

We often remove very general questions about events that go something like 'I'm in town on X date, whats happening' or 'anything going on tonight?'. The sub gets inundated with these questions, they are extremely repetitive, and add nothing to this community at this point. Specific questions are welcome! We totally get that a lot of people who use this sub are beginners just trying to learn. By being specific and thoughtful in say what music you like, or vibes you're looking for, you will get better responses too.

Buying/Selling tickets has now been moved to r/avesNYC_tix (all buying/selling of tickets will now be removed)

210 Upvotes

As many of you have noticed, as things have started to pick up in NYC, this sub has been getting spammed with a TON of people buying/selling their tickets last minute to events.

People have been mentioning a ticket thread pinned to the sub, but I don't think this is the best solution because many users are often too lazy to expand and view all comments in the thread, and do a simple control-F to find their event. Even when we had a monthly ticket thread, people still posted to the feed. We would get a response something like 'hey nobody responded to me in the thread, so I just posted here anyway'.

As an alternative, I created a related subredit called r/avesNYC_tix and will pin it to the sidebar as well. You are free to post all of your buying/selling ticket needs there. This is also going to be easier to search through compared to a thread and I also added post flair to distinguish/filter between buying and selling of tickets. Because this will be a generally unmoderated sub, I also encourage people to report scammers and use the 'reports' flair. You are buying tickets here at your own risk.

From now on any posts about buying/selling of tickets on this subreddit will be removed. This kind of content is very spammy, not interesting to read, and does not build community in any meaningful way.

Hi! I am David Lindmer, producer and co-founder of Running Clouds AMA

35 Upvotes

Hi everyone, David Lindmer here!

I'm a British DJ/Producer and co-founder of Running Clouds, an electronic music label I run alongside Andrea Vizzo.

For a bit of background, I've been involved in electronic music for over 20 years. I grew up in the UK and got deep into the 90s rave scene, I have produced and mixed all sorts of music over the years, from acid house to UK garage. My biggest influences are The Prodigy, The Chemical Brothers and everything that came with that era.

I've been fortunate enough to release music on labels including Afterlife, Upperground, Purified and Watergate, as well as my own RC imprint.

My current sound is rooted in melodic techno, but I've always been drawn to the darker, groovier side of the genre, and those UK rave influences have never really left me.

A big part of what Running Clouds is about has always been discovering and supporting new talent, no matter how big or small. Over the years we've released music from artists at different stages of their careers, including Massano, 19:26, Dyzen, Grigore, Oscar L, Bigfett, Eze Ramirez, Riko & Gugga, Eli & Dani, Q.U.A.K.E and many more.

We're launching our first label showcase here in NYC this weekend at SILO, so thought it would be good to get some input from the community about what you'd like to see at our events.

For Saturday's show we're stripping things back. We just want to focus on the music and the dancefloor, while introducing you to some international artists you may not have discovered yet. The idea is to bring a bit of that old-school underground rave feeling into the night.

I'm curious to hear what this community thinks about the current rave scene in NYC. Things have changed so much over the last few years, both in terms of the music itself and the events around it. Where do you think the scene is heading? What's exciting you at the moment, and what would you like to see more of?

I'd love to hear your thoughts. And of course, feel free to AMA about music production, DJing, running an independent label, scouting for talent, the industry or anything else!

Hope to see some of you on the dancefloor Saturday!

Cheers,

David

15 Upvotes

Title says it all. Not really hating on the headbangers and side steppers, but to all my dancing king and queens and everyone in between, what moves yall like to pull during raves?

Edit: I forgot to share mine lol. I usually switch up between shuffling (not too much if its crowded af), some form of whacking, and a bit good ole church praise and worship dance moves

If you're in the mood for proper uplifting trance this weekend, QTS is taking over 3 Dollar Bill on Saturday with Solarstone and Farius. 21+.

If you were at ABGT700 last month, it's the same team that ran the official afterparty at the Gorge. This one is a queer trance night in a big, friendly, very dancey room where everyone's there for the music and each other. I am going and should be a fun time!
