Rave New World: Confessions of a Raving Reporter

Product Information

The changes from Gods & Kings have been enhanced. In espionage, spies have been updated so that they can act as diplomats, who are used to gain support from other civilizations in the World Congress. Trading has been brought to the next level! You can now create international trade routes via land or sea, and turn your cities into trade hubs, creating great wealth and prosperity for your people, while also spreading religion, cultural influence, and Science. It was a knee-jerk reaction to reading the tabloids coverage of the wonder I witnessed. I had no journalistic training, couldn’t type and didn’t have a typewriter! All I had was two fingers and the truth. When Mixmag published my feature, it was the very first coverage of raves in the mag, and the response led to Dave Seaman (editor at the time) asking me to cover the next party – Sunrise, in June ‘89. From there, I became known as their ‘raving reporter’ and did the first interviews with The Orb, KLF, The Grid, The Shamen and reports from Glastonbury and a small island off the coast of Spain. Kirk Field, the book’s author, was Mixmag’s first rave-focused journalist and was embedded in the scene, initially as a bar-man but soon an in-the-field reporter, here retelling pivotal moments in dance history like a Forest Gump of clubland.

Simply defined, a rave is a party--often an all-night-long party--at which some form of electronic, or "techno," music is played, usually by a deejay. A rave can be as small as 25 people or larger than 25,000. And while raves have been around for a decade, the rituals, visuals and sounds associated with raves have finally started to exert a potent influence on pop music, advertising and even computer games. Several new films about raves are either in theaters or coming soon, including the British comedy Human Traffic and the documentaries Better Living Through Circuitry and Rise, a study of the rave scene in New Orleans. Says Jason Jordan, co-author of Searching for the Perfect Beat, a new book about raves and visual art: "Rave culture is youth culture right now." Kirk has created an entertaining account of the birth of modern clubbing and all the magical, hilarious or down-right dodgy characters he met along the way. Like Kirk, the book is lively and relentless, but as opposed to painting himself as the star, Kirk is as self-deprecating as he is humble about his legacy as a dance music journalist.For The Bee cover, it would have been so easy just to do a bee, so I designed a robotic bee with a cheeky grin!” - Junior Tomlin It’s a privilege to be a part of the birthday festivities, as AMF brings together all manner of music heads who share a deep respect for electronic music culture.

Rave New World: Confessions of a Raving Reporter is this summer’s holiday book for clubbers wanting the behind the scenes thrills and pills of 20th century club culture. Brave New World opens in London, nearly six hundred years in the future ("After Ford"). Human life has been almost entirely industrialized — controlled by a few people at the top of a World State. Or you might just ask a friend in the know. Raves have traditionally been held in venues without permits or permission, giving them an outlaw allure. Today, however, an increasing number of raves are legal ones, and places like Twilo in New York City specialize in re-creating the rave feel in legitimate clubs. "The New York club scene was not about music until Twilo opened," says Paul van Dyk, a popular deejay who specializes in trance--a soft, transporting form of techno and one of the genre's many, many offshoots. As a humble barman at the M25 Orbital raves, Kirk Field witnessed the moment acid house exploded. Inspired by media lies to start writing the truth about what he saw unfolding, Kirk became a 'raving' reporter for the clubbers' bible Mixmag, covering the historic parties from the inside and sending sweat-soaked dispatches from distant dancefloors as the scene expanded across Europe and beyond.

You don't need to shop in Sainsbury's to get the free parking! Where to Find Us Lenina's attempted seduction provokes John's anger and violence, and, later, the death of Linda further arouses his fury. At last, John's attempt to keep a crowd of Deltas from their ration of soma results in a riot and his arrest, along with Bernard and Helmholtz Watson, an "emotional engineer" who wishes to be a poet. Kirk's whirlwind account of the golden age of clubbing tells the story of what really happened in the 'naughty '90s', exposing the seedy underbelly of rave culture while also capturing the nostalgic spirit of the era,” the description of the book continues.Did you gradually realise you wanted to chronicle acid house culture as it started happening?
