the problem is, the government just put the final nail in the coffin of real raves.
you are no longer allowed to throw an event in a venue with no ceiling sprinklers, meaning no more warehouse parties or lowbudget crackdens without mappoints and other ways to throw the cops off which just isnt worth the risk to most crews that want to at least break even for the night and still put on a good event. the 'legit' venues being used are shitty and feel like someone just stuffed a half ass event into a random place to call it a rave and charge 40-60 bucks for the night.
Insomniac and Goventures are just brand names now and both crews feel they dont have to try as hard anymore to put on shows like they once did. going from 6 stage shows ending in fireworks displays with epic dj lineups that would vary from show to show, to the 3 stage generic cookie cutter lineup mild production stuff theyre doing now then blaming the economy for it is just silly. plus theyre trying to shed their 'rave' skin and become just a clubber massive now, meaning no more running anywhere other then the same place and bringing the same show every single time.
then theres the mini massive market which is only held by 3 crews, 2 of which are too scared to use real venues, even when their venue is exploding at the seems with people oding from heatstroke due to overcrowding left and right.
and finally the smaller guys. theres a few small crews that still scout out new venues on their own and strive to do something original. and the ones that dont may get away with jocking other peoples venues and running low budget shitty dj lineups for awhile, but eventually fall on their asses and dissapear such as neosapians and 1w1d.
the best thing to do is find out from the longer term people which crew brings a good production, and which crew is going to provide you with a solid night of fun and dancing without security that wants to hurt you or bland bad music thats gonna bore you if your not fucked up out of your mind
