Rave Reality — Melting liquid sounds
After a year of living in the red-light-drenched streets of Amsterdam, raving became my reality. This passion for figuring out what rave culture was all about ignited within me, intensely pulling me apart, pulling the flesh off my bones as I was transfixed and reborn by intuitively pronounced melting liquid sounds. My ears melted with it. Abandoned buildings fueled by illegal techno raves, open drug policies and even more open dance floors. You could come as you are yet leave with an entirely new identity attached. An old school, now a nightclub full of dark rooms that were once classrooms, a private space to feel the allure of connection, queer and gender fluid lines that disintegrated. I was able to leave my existing sexual identity at the door to be reborn into blissful queerness and sexual fluidity. A euphoric escape, a community driven through connection, sound and movement.
The experience is injected and ingested, mesmerising nostalgic escapism: addicted instantly. Somewhere a process starts to begin. The repetitive beats enter into your subconscious. Fluid and hypnotic sounds entice you to stay a little longer here, anywhere but outside these four walls. The feeling encapsulates you. Techno music, the intertwined sounds that ignite a dancing soul buried beneath a capitalist society urging us to work away our time. Rave reality, small collections of intimate settings, collaborations, connections, music and disk jockeys uniting under crisp night air or the low ceiling of an abandoned warehouse. Spinning tracks we may never have heard, sound waves that have already left lasting impressions on our subconscious. Those melting liquid sounds... instant visuals. Complete magic. Appearing and disappearing.
Earplugs that protect you yet allow the sweet sounds to flow through you. I was transfixed instantly by the city and all it had to offer. It is a whole community linked with sound, the sound of the rave. The type of soundscapes that grip you and leave you magnetised with goosebumps.
Amsterdam encapsulates you and asks you to take a seat; one that you can’t get up from once you sit down. There’s a sense of ease and comfort here – a feeling you haven’t felt in some time. You surrender to it and let it in, allowing it to encapsulate you piece by piece. When you're on that sticky dance floor barely able to see two feet in front of you the music can grab you and take you with it.
The soundscapes ignite this feeling within, something I have never felt before. I was actually inside the music, not just dancing to it. All external thoughts disappeared and I was just there with the internal. Allowing the music to wash over my tired bones it reignited a passion I had long ago deserted. This was the moment when I fell in love with rave. Synthetic sound that lingered. Rave culture. The glitter particles dance in the holographic neon lights. Amsterdam. De school, Radion. The maze. Liquid colours of euphoric glow, lined up on phone screens blocked out by stickered lenses and the desire to be seen.
Welcome to the rave yard, a playground far away.
It’s time to be children.
Yet the drugs aren’t free.

poem 1 : We uncovered the rave yard
An abandoned building
A playground far away
Filled with the bones of animal flesh
Instant visuals
Liquid colours of euphoric glow
The unknown
We enter a subconscious daze
Poison has filled my blood
Dancing in the graveyard
as the sun begins to rise
We don’t know what’s happening here
Yet we are exposed
I don’t know what the fuck i’m doing here.
I can’t see the exit….
Entering the faceless raveyard
the matrix of destinies
Its time to be children
Yet the drugs aren’t free

poem 2 : She’s on a mission
The mission to the rave
The journey
Scripted and re scripted we pass out way through the turn style
No money
Refused
We jump take the risk across
Once we are there no turning back a train has just left another takes its place
Loosely folding forward crossing
Message me when you get there
Arrival
The arrival
I search among my bags contents
Searching for my screwed up. Entry fee and over contacted iD
We are asked among questions searching for our intentions from the evening ahead
We are in
Rushing to the bar pills in hand we shift to the front
eyes on the bar
sweat dripping off fluidly
We are ignited I take the pill it smooths down slowly and my heart becomes fast
We dance and we dance and I move so slightly
The music swallows me whole
We remain within these 4 walls
Until the morning light creeps its way through our frosted rave lenses
