All About Lovebox 2010

Lovebox, the techno music party, was held in East London. The event featured loud, enchanting techno music as well as a crazy array of colourful lights. Like at many techno parties, the crowd was plentiful and the energy was high.

Lovebox included a stage at the Rizla Dance Arena where the two DJs of "Zombie Disco Squad" were playing and making the dancers go wild. Unfortunately for the Lovebox event, there was some clashes in sound from all the various parts of the show - from Rizla Arena, the Favela Chic tent, the Gaymers Bandstand and the Main Stage.

Nevertheless, the mixture in sounds also adds to the temptation to join all of them. So many good acts were playing techno music at the same time, and it became difficult for some ravers to decide which act was the best to join, listen and dance.

Plastikman’s Essential Techno Music

Filed in archive Music on July 22, 2010

© >>> Silly Rabbit, Trix are for Kids <<<</a>

"Minus", a German minimal techno imprint, plans to release a musical work to praise Richie Hawtin's productions as Plastikman. The work will be entitled Kompilation.

Throughout the 1990s to the early 2000s, Plastikman had produced scores of atmospheric singles that became highlights of techno music of the time. For example, the phenomenal track "Plasticine" was released in 1993, while the track "Ask Yourself" was made in 2004.

From these tracks, Kompilation will feature these and more to showcase the diversity of minimal and techno music of Richie Hawtin. Kompilation will be widely released in August, even though it was formerly available at Minus's "Ghost Shop" in Barcelona at the 2010 Sonar Festival. Kompilation will be released at the same time that Hawtin himself has recently revived the Plastikman alias through recent live shows and festivals.

Filed in archive Opinion on July 22, 2010

The Electric Daisy Carnival rave was already causing concern for the Los Angeles Police Department even before it started.

The LAPD had warned them about potential crowd control and drug use before the techno music rave. Unfortunately, the LAPD's warnings were ineffective as 120 people were hospitalized, while one girl, 15, died due to a suspected drug overdose.

During the two-day event, the LAPD arrested 118 persons mainly for possession of illegal narcotics. The LAPD had patrolled the weekend rave at the Los Angeles Coliseum, shifting resources from other parts of the city. The LAPD were distressed that there were so many people under the influence at the Electric Daisy rave. The fact that there were so many people at the event, caused the scale of the problems to grow even larger.

Filed in archive Opinion on July 22, 2010

Raves are often reputed as nothing more than open-air drug events. Critics of them often point to the mayhem, chaos and potential drug abuse at these events. Overdose deaths of ravers are serious reasons why rave parties are sometimes criticized.

The suspected overdose death of a 15 year old girl at the Electric Daisy Carnival in Los Angeles, has sparked some anger against techno music parties. The even involved more than 180,000 ravers at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum over two days. It featured loud techno music, spectacular light shows, and unfortunately there were also numbers of drug usage. The sad death of the girl at the event, however, has caused a debate as to whether techno party events should be banned.
