A rave is basically a party for younger people with a dj.
It can also be a party for people on Ecstasy with loud music and glow sticks.I have never been to either and have never done Ecstasy so,that's about as much as I know.
Not sure if these guys count as "rave" DJ's (I suspect they don't), but Theivery Corporation is toward the top of my charts!
I like a lot of the acts on Ninja Tune as well! (You hear me, Kid Koala?) I like remixes, mash-ups. I'm glad to see people reprocessing popular tunes and not just playing the same tired album versions over and over like a lot of radio stations do! (Hope I'm not too far off-topic!)
As long as you stay away from drinking anything (especially if your a woman and attractive) then you'll have a good time. I met my mistress at a club. ^_^
