Actually I once had a very good trance experience at a sub zero rave.
Inside it was baking, outside it was freezing. But a sort of all in chill out zone for taking the temperatures down after a couple hours on the dance floor.

There’s actually a gabber/chiptune/breakcore scene around where I live in Michigan, US.
Gabba I’ve heard of, chiptune/breakcore sounds like something you’d pave a road with.
That was a joke, welcome to the Vibe, don’t mind me, I’m just an uncool unhip old fart. It’s allowed.
Ukelele’s will become the social revolutionary’s instrument of choice. Or something.

Less disposable income = smaller musical instruments.
There is a local ukelele orchestra but you have to be a bit of a musical zero to get excited… it’s an in to learning strings, I guess.
Welcome to Partyvibe.
‘s quite a good track, but you really don’t have a clue how to use a mixing desk. For one thing bias point should be central, it’s so quiet I have to max speakers to even hear it.
This approach doesn’t just mute music, long term it fucks audio systems too. Your telling the speakers to deform more in one direction (on the average) than the other… not good.
Presumably your more successful students end up telling you to fuck off because they don’t need your interference anymore? 🙂

and in Germany they actually answer ringing phones quickly (unlike England)…
That’s because we like to swear at it for 10 seconds before saying “Hello? Not a problem mate, I’ve been watching the phone all night just in case it rang” or some similar polite lie.
Germans aren’t indirect like that, they’ll just be “Was?”. Maybe a bit more venomous if you’ve caught them shagging.
OK, OK, some English people will actually keep shagging if they’re interrupted on the phone. If they’re really dumb they’ll pretend they’re not shagging.
I must admit, making cold outbound insurance calls wasn’t always as dull as it sounds.
Few places not on poll – Finland, Sweden, Norway (waggle hands vaguely), Iceland, Greenland (OK, Inuit generally don’t do raves), Turkey and the other parts of the Middle East, all of China and Mongolia. And Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, Burma, Nepal, Bhutan, Singapore, Indonesia.
Some would argue Tibet too. Oh, Antarctica and the South Atlantic. Also orbital astronauts.
I’d draw the line at people arguing they’ve currently been abducted by aliens and are in intersteller space. Not that’s impossible (although highly unlikely), it’s just they wouldn’t have WiFi access at that distance.
At the time (mid 90s) there were a number of initiatives into non-lethal weapons. One that saw the light of day was the carbon filament round, designed to overload power cable transmission and used in the bombing of Serbia.

Mind you, I don’t think the gay bomb was ever going to limit casualties. Sexual orientation is not a guide to lethality.
No, the Feds would never let me in. At least, not without a false set of ID (and that’s dodgy in itself). 🙂
I must say your post here is a lot more informative about the location than the Facebook page… I guessed New York but I had to google the venue to find in.
Hope you get a good house and a great party! 🙂
Depends partly on your skill set… like… do you know how to make up cables? Any good with a soldering iron?
Also, budget? That’s pretty important. You can skank around for second hand or the odd flea market bargain… but… the thing with buying new kit is, you get a shop guarantee (something that can be tricky to use with stuff bought on eBay).
Here’s a couple of basic points you shoul be aware of if you are not already aware of them… PA is “Public Address system”, which is a very old way of saying sound system…
Your starting point is… you can either get an amplifier/PA and try to match speakers to it, or a set of speakers and try to get a matching amplifier/PA.
They’re both rated in Watts (power) and Ohms (for speakers). Too powerful a set of speakers could blow the amp/PA, and vice versa.
Also be aware that different speaker physical sizes produce different sounds better – so the bigger sized loud speakers are much better at bass, while the teeny tiny tweeters do the high squeaky “top end” better.

and the festival organisers don’t want to be branded as ageing hippies as it makes things difficult for them with licensing .
Well, if they don’t lilke being called “ageing hippies” then they shouldn’t have been hippies in the first place.
As for what’s on the radio, I haven’t a clue. I really just cannot be bothered with media attempts at brainwashing. They just make me even angrier… so on 2nd thoughts it’s unlikely I’ll reach 65 as more likely blood pressure will finish me first.
I got about 15 FPS over a Wifi network on a really crappy Advent using VESA drivers… probably works really well on a proper system.
For some reason I got a slightly improved frame rate when it was full screen.
You hope to find such people here?
I reckon you fancy your luck… I’m not exactly a spring chicken but you’re twenty years too early.
Try advertising on Radio 2, that should reach the right audience (oh wait, you can’t advertise on Radio 2 – I guess these wrinklies are smarter than they smell.)
Next thing it will be Cockney’s demanding their language be taught in schools.
And Geordies. Then the Scouse.
It will reach the stage where you have to obtain a language degree within a 12 metre radius of where you were born, otherwise “yur a furriner” and you have to get requalified.
Which will be an absolute bitch if you were born on a UK registered ship or airplane.
Except Freemason’s who are also Cornish, like… the Duke of Cornwall. I reckon the Met aren’t planning to knock him off for no reason.
I could be wrong of course, there is little logic when it comes to predicting police behaviour.
Fucking hell. Playstations are now so smart, you have to buy them their own TV set to keep them amused.
I am impressed.
It’s like this – most people are really children who never learn to conquer fear 100%.
Or put it another way, most human beings are, to one degree or another, fucking crazy irrational morons who only care about a) Money and b) Sex.
And the chances of weather forecasts being accurate?
Look, the British solved this problem a LONG time ago, with the invention of A) Wellington boots. B) The Mackintosh raincoat and C) The umbrella.
That’s what I call the solution, not faffing around wondering what’s going to happen – carrying the means to cope. That’s the answer.
Look, it’s very simple. The Illuminati plan is to drive everybody insane and get them to kill themselves by producing as much bullshit media hype as they can.
Once you realize this IS the plan… you can do something about it.
When I’m in the mood for something aggressive and metal, I head over to Split Infinity.
It’s not Partyvibe but sometimes I want something other than then fine dance, trance, reggae and techno melodies of PV.
As I’m typing this the play track is “Bugger Off” by Bootless & Unhorsed. It’s a bit folky but you can’t have everything.
