History of
Rave Parties
Rave parties aka "bohemian parties" were popular in the late 70's and 80's and originated in London, then spread to Berlin Germany and eventually America.
Raves attracted people of every race and style, so it was common to see all kinds of exotic looking individuals dancing and getting high together.
As Euro Electro Rave music gained international popularity, so did the rave culture of throwing huge DJ parties in abandoned ware houses, secluded beaches, deserts and other hidden locations.
Many underground DJ's promoted these rave bashes and would organize them by partnering with other DJ's and even drug dealers.
Artsy Flyers were often distributed to hip and rebellious youths in schools and collages showing them directions to these raves. The directions often changed in the last minute as a way to keep police and their snitches from busting the party.
With plenty of kegs, jungle juice and ecstasy, it was common for people to overdose and get extremely wild. In 1994 the English government passed a law called the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act and several mass raids and arrests were made on DJ's across England.
The United States government soon followed by passing similar laws and cracked down on their youth gone wild as well. Any DJ caught profiting off or promoting a rave party was charged and indicted with drug dealing, unlawful sales and distribution of alcohol, furnishing alcohol to minors, racketeering, and engaging in criminal activities.
Those were the same serious charges being brought against the Mafia and other major organized criminal gangs. That kind of heat was what nearly killed the rave culture in the early 90's.
