[PHOTOS] A History of the Second Wave of the Rave Scene
Guest Post from Michael Tullberg
Iāve been very fortunate to have been involved in the rave scene for as long as I have. Over the course of 25-plus years, Iāve been at some of the biggest and most important moments in rave history, starting in the warehouses of the mid-90s LA underground scene. Funny how some things donāt change that much over time. Back in those days, I ended up photographing and writing for most of the dance music magazines of the day. This enabled me to stick myself inside the core of American raving culture, which was right here in Southern California for nearly a decade. We were so incredibly spoiled during that time period since we had the best DJs in the world coming through here on a regular basis. There was no shortage of gigs for them to play at, whether the event was in a club, a mansion, a desert, on a beach, or a mountain. From the smallest after-hours to the biggest massives, we truly had it all here. Accordingly, most of the photos presented in this collection are from the L.A. area.
