I can confirm this for France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxemburg as well. The rave scene is still alive and loving. As you say though, you have to stick to the smaller festivals
However, I think this amazing atmosphere is more due to the general vibe of the crowd and the kinds of people at these kinds of events and less with the quality of the drugs. I have not noticed the hostile, egocentric effect this 'bad' MDMA has on crowds as described in some posts in here but I have noticed a sharp decline in the intensity of empathogenic and 'loved up' effects the MDMA has these days. And at the festivals I attend that is canceled out to some degree by the positive vibe this kind of crowd naturally has, they do not need much chemical assistance to act extremely empathic and loving, but the difference in effects is noticeable even there nevertheless, though much less than at more mainstream events. I have been taking MDMA for around 19 years now so I can compare a bit.
I have debated for years against the supposed differences between old and more recent MDMA because I have seriously abused the drug for years in a row and I assumed it must be that I ruined the drug for myself because of this abuse. That is until a few years ago I ran into some unknown random pills that completely changed my perspective on that. It was like it was a different drug altogether, exactly how I remembered my earlier rolls. These pills were tested with 3 different reagents, not lab tested so I'm not absolutely sure that they contained only MDMA, only that they did contain MDMA and maybe nothing else. After my first experience with them I went back to the dealer because I only bought 3 and had given 2 to mates that night. I asked to buy his entire supply (he only had 30 left), he refused and said these pills were the best he's had in years and years and that he was keeping them. I offered him double the going rate, refused, triple, refused. I went all the way up to ten times (!!!) the going rate and he refused and said he would not accept any offer. This guy had been selling for years and was in it for the money. That right there told me I was right about these pills and that there was something to this debate after all
I have made a report about them which I will link below. However, disclaimer this was years ago, don't go looking for these pills because by now if you happen to run into ones that looks like that it's almost 100% certain not the same ones

Nice report, i like how you leave a little note about how the dutch stuff makes you feel vs this specifically. Nice pills.
