The point of early raves was never personal fame or glory for anyone. No single person mattered. It was the system that mattered. And it was the system they fought against.

Tekno - 	early 90s

Hardtechno is the official music genre of rave culture. about raves - real raves 

The raves in the UK in the early 90s were free, renegade, seasonal, and run by ontological anarchists armed with the philosophical weapons of Hakim Bey and Robert Anton Wilson. In the winter months they broke into empty warehouses and occupied them for the night (rave culture loves recessions -- it means more unused urban spaces). In the summer they organized roaming flash mobs to crash police barricades and set up in farmer's fields. They rarely asked permission. What they were doing was illegal so they had to keep moving, and what developed from this radical hedonism was the concept of the mobile soundsystem.

Often situated on the back of flatbed trucks (what the Brits would call lorries) and caravans, the mobile soundsystem became the key to the rave experience. If the rave got busted or shut down by the cops or an angry farmer with a gun, the soundsystem packed up, moved over to the next field, and unloaded the party again. Repeat all night (or week) as necessary or until the drugs wear off. ^^  There were no cell phones or Internet back then so people were kept in the know via pirate radio stations and secret info-lines (ie: recorded messages on telephone answering machines).

These soundsystems had names like the rave promoters of yore -- Spiral Tribe, Bedlam, DiY, Circus Warp, Adrenaline, Rough Crew -- and it was these soundsystems that became famous in their own right. The people would locate where their favorite soundsystem was playing on a given weekend and then track it down like rock groupies. It's probably a weird concept to fanboys of certain DJs or producers (or even labels or promoters, you corporate whore), but the point of early raves was never personal fame or glory for anyone. No single person mattered. It was the system that mattered. And it was the system they fought against.

The organizers and owners of the soundsystems aimed to reclaim public space and occupy them as Pirate Utopias. Being more political-minded and radicalized, they looked nothing like their friendly Acid House forebears: Skinheads wearing jackboots, camo pants and combat fatigues. They had to look scary -- they were the promoters, owners, drug dealers, DJs, and security of their own parties. Just because these are free parties doesn't mean you are free to do anything.

And the music? The music was mostly produced live on the fly, like jam bands at Grateful Dead festivals. It was cheap, simple, disposable, looping thumping Techno music that went on for hours with no break; (today its different cause many analogue homestudios existing) blistering fast with an abrasive industrial edge, squealing 303s, a sample or two, and terrible sound mixing/mastering. This lo-fi grungy filthy Techno was the punk rock of electronic music. It was never called Hard Techno until years later, before Hardcore got its act together.

The free rave scene finally reached critical mass at the infamous Castlemorton festival from May 22-29, 1992. A rave that lasted seven days with an estimated 100,000 people in attendance. All aforementioned soundsystems were there. It was the rave to end all raves, a worse-organized, more anarchic catastrophic Woodstock. And like Woodstock many old Brit DJs and producers today will tell you that they were there when they probably weren't (and if they were, they're not supposed to remember anything anyway). Even still, everyone who went insists that it was wicked.


Castlemorton (allegedly)
The Authorities had had enough. Thirteen members of Spiral Tribe were arrested and after a long show trial the UK government passed the Criminal Justice Act of 1994, outlawing all raves (or what it called "any party that plays music with repetitive beats") and beefing up law enforcement to take the problem seriously.

Essentially the bill singled out and outlawed certain lifestyles -- specifically the "techno traveler" kind. The leftover members of Spiral Tribe and other soundsystems fled the country in voluntary exile, and they are still around today as the Free Tekno scene, a traveling circus that backpacks around Europe throwing free parties or Teknivals.


What a Teknival might look like. That smoke in the distance might possibly be tear gas. Teknivals get raided a lot. You're not a real participant in this scene until your party gets busted by the Police and you have to outrun the dogs.
Back in the UK the rave scene decided if it wanted to survive it had to go legit and comply with the laws. 1994 is a pivotal year: Everything after this year is safe, boring, and club-friendly, making shitty Eurotrance music for grandmothers and 8-year-olds, the edges completely smoothed out of what was not just a vibrant and revolutionary form of music but a lifestyle and culture.

Finding music of the very early free party scene is actually quite tricky because not a lot of it was recorded or pressed to wax (or, that is, not a lot compared to how much was made live in dozens of raves every weekend for years). And what music I do have was released well after the rave scene was crushed. And it's kind of hard to catalogue music that has no name, no label, no artist, no identification. It is Temporary Autonomous Zone music -- it exists only where it is needed, which is at a free rave. Not a music guide.
