The hotel must have been booked up. Free ticket with hotel booking? lol
Great on deadmau5 for what he has done. I would have gone if I didn't have obligations just for the simple fact that its partying in the Skydome. Whether or not somethign like this would happen again anytime soon (most likely not) will show what type of landmark achievement it was. I don't think you could get enough headliner DJs to make it as much of a success. If you don't want to take deadmau5's achievement to its full potential, then take the rest of the DJs. I don't think you could have told Joe or Fab 10 years ago that they would be djing at the dome. Blu, CC, and Mstrkrft all equally huge gigs and all with international success. Any figures on the production costs? Staff involved? Must have been a healthy amount. |

Don Berns, sites his own efforts to expose Rave culture to the masses as the ultimate downfall of the scene. In the beginning, Raves were largely attended by older, experienced partyers that were sick of night clubs and looking for a more fullfilling experience. By exposing Raves to the mainstream, they began to attract younger and younger crowds and because the events were all ages, they were able to attend. As the majority of attendees got younger, the older ravers stopped going. With the Rave scene now dominated by adolescents, it began to face the issues that always follow teenagers, mainly irresponsible drug use, which leads to irresponsible drug dealing, which so often leads to gang violence. The mass exposition of Rave culture also brought it to the attention of the wrong kinds of people. Those who go out with the intention of partying irresponsibly. In a scene based around tolerance and personal freedom, there was little anyone was willing to do against these negative activities. Thus, its downfall was inevitable. |
this is something that is to come in our scene |

Its only a matter of time before the underground 'rave' scene explodes again. As the becoming older crowd starts disliking the club scene they will go back to these more mature parties. |

Not really bro. Why has it flourished in Europe all these years? What's the difference there? It's important to use successful business models that have & still work. The way I see it is to 'legitimize' it/everything. Yes many would/might see it as 'selling out' or going commercial/mainstream, but that's exactly what has happened in Europe, yet tastefully. With corporate sponsorships & proper investments/support behind them, huge MEGA events/festivals can have longevity & be successful. The rave culture of old was great & all, but time to bring it to the 21st century & realize that it didn't work using the old model as we clearly witnessed its demise.
Time to do it properly & use a winning strategy. Time to think long term & not just 1 party at a time. That's just my opinion of course.
My roots come from the underground Toronto hip hop scene of the late 80's-early 90's, which basically was hand in hand with the rave scene at the time. It too faced massive hurdles, stigmas associated with it, even racial prejudices, yet it has been able to successfully overcome all of that worldwide & most notably has become commercially viable. Someone in Toronto needs to become the Pdiddy of EDM here in Toronto to take this to the next level. |

Huh? It's long been and gone already.
Terribly written "overview" of Toronto's electronic music history, btw. Patchy as , and you'd think that someone who claims 15 years of involvement in the scene would know how to spell Iain's name. |

Already there. Played and danced my ass off in a soundproof basement in a mixed commercial/residential unit on the weekend. Mid to late-20s was young at this one - mostly 30s and early 40s, and it went past 5 a.m. Loud as (but tuned well, so no ear ringing), deep tunes, lots of room to bust out...no fights, no drunk idiots, no unwanted groping or attention on the dancefloor - nothing but respect and good times. :) |

| what i meant by that was that we have an older crowd mostly at the parties i attend, 24-25 are probably the youngest and in the minority. Most people party responsible now but what worries me is when the second wave of younger crowd that has come from listening to deadmau5 will start attending the events that we go to. If someone accidentally dies from overdosing on something stupid because it was their first time dong then a crackdown on (afterhours) clubbing and electronic music may take place just like it did in late 90's early 00's. |

All things being cyclical, that's a strong probability. People have been ODing and being generally irresponsible at parties for far longer than anyone on this board's been around.

It doesnt say it in the article ... but I was watching the news and this happened after a group left 772 afterhours... I would think that publicity like this combined with the drugs is what will cause a crackdown. |

i think i was referring to more of an overdose situation.
you may be forgetting the amount of raids that took place when someone overdosed and died after attending a certain afterhours few years ago. |
