I would consider myself a fairly longterm doofer. I stared listening to techno when I was about 12 -13 and progessed to all the wierd and woulderful sounds of "doof doof" there are today.
When im talking OLDSCHOOL VS NEWSCHOOL I mean in my experience 6-7 years of Raves,Parties,Bushdoofs and clubs. Raves have changed, some for better, some for (greed) worse.
But today Im giving my opinion on Raves (not clubs) and Bushdoofs.
Raves - A party that was once in any chosen location and some locations were amazing, now they are basicly forced into certain sports complexes and occasionaly a good location but no new ones for some time now.
When I went to my first rave everything about it was amazing. We dressed up in home made "Rave gear" with bright colours and fluff and sparkly stuff, armed with one bisket.
Walking towards a HUGE SHED that was pounding harder than my heart. Everyone we walked past had huge smiles and said Hello, inside was a huge mass of colour people, walls, roofs, lazers, intelligent light, uv light and big screens. The music was faster and louder and more impressing than I could ever have dreamed. The bass vibrating through everything including me.
Danced all night to what I thought was the most amazing music eva, talked to some of the most interesting and amazing people eva. The light and sound were extensively overdone to amaze and dazzle everyone and walking outside and back to the car at the end of the night after the sun has been up for hours still buzzing from the most amazing night of your life so far.
For the next 1-2 years We went to all the big raves each one out doing the next. Then over the next few years the rules started coming into place and some Rave crews got greedy and things started to change.
Some of the crews got greedier and started to up prices and down quality. There was no where near as much value for $ such as less lighting and not so good a quality sound. That first party I went to there were at least 6 mounds of speakers and Subs halfway to the roof.
Then some laws started to come into place about the venues and some of the good ones were abolished.
Now my peception of a "RAVE" now would be very poor for $. The sound is not up to scratch (due to tightasses and laws). If law does restrict Dbls does not have to affect quality (Speaker mounds need to be minimal front AND back). Lighting is no way near up to scratch (More and way bigger lazers and lights. The venues are fairly poor and not decorated to make them attractive or impressive.
90% of the people are still Quality and easy to talk to. Not alot of people make the big effort to dress to impress which makes the venue less amazing but thats my problem because you need to dress to make yourself attrative and comfortable.
You can get as much Quality in a Club now as you can at a Rave (There are exceptions).
I still love raves but Wonder whats ahead
Now this is my experience only in my years of Doof
