āEww, house music events have way too many frat bros.ā “Ugh, techno parties are so snobby.ā House and techno feel diametrically opposed in many ways these days. Genre purists seem to drench the underground scene producing events that are very narrow in focus. As someone who came of age in the rave scene during the 1990s, this all seems a bit silly to me.
The taboo party drug ketamine is being hailed as a potential treatment for depression, anxiety, and chronic pain. Since the 1970s ketamine has been legally prescribed in the United States as an anesthetic. Due to the drug’s dissociative and hallucinogenic effects, it’s become a popular rave culture drug. Other psychedelics such as LSD or MDMA cannot be legally prescribed because there are no medically recognized health benefits.
An easing of prescription rules during COVID-19 has allowed more Americans to access the drug through their doctors for at-home mental health treatments. Some have hailed the drug as a breakthrough therapy for depression and other mental health conditions. Others remain skeptical because there is little evidence to support how effective ketamine is for depression. There are limited large-scale studies of ketamine’s medical impact, leaving some to also conclude that an unregulated boom of the drug could result in tragedies and a regulatory crackdown.
This is the first installment of our series cataloging the best rave anthems over the decades.
Let’s take a trip down nostalgia lane… all the way back to the ancient days of the 1990s when the rave scene was still underground. The 1990s proved to be a seminal time in rave culture, where the heavily gelled and spiked hair of the ravers started to peak out from underground and be seen in the mainstream. A time when JNCO jeans and butterfly hair clips reigned supreme. You had to know someone who knew someone to find out the location. Rave tracks from the 90s bring up a lot of emotion with not just the ravers from that era, but almost anyone who grew up listening to electronic music. So what are the best rave tracks from the 1990s? Let’s dig in.
A pill warning has been issued following the death of a 20-year-old man at Warehouse Project during the early hours of Saturday morning. Following the incident, four people were arrested on suspicion of drug offenses.
Russian producer Corvad is ready for lift-off in three, two, one. Corvad’s new label and latest album aim to venture into areas unknown and explore new dimensions of sound.

Let’s take a trip (no, not that kind of trip), but a trip back in time. To a time where raving and partying were a little more magical and a little more illegalĀ (maybe that added to the magic). Go back to a time where whistles and glow sticks reigned supreme not fan clacking. Back to a time where people weren’t taking selfies for the ‘gram.Ā It’s fascinating to see how much has changed throughout the years, but also how much remains the same in rave culture. So here we go, let’s begin the trip back to the past.
