How did u get into clubbing/raving?

For me it was first year in university - year 2000... i been to student union parties few times but nothing real... i was fortunate that one of my flat mates in the halls was from Leeds and he was a major clubber... one day i was listening some trance in my room and my door was open slightly he knocked and we started talking about dance music. He told me about Gatecrasher in Sheffield and how he used to visit it. For those who dont know Gatecrasher is a raving heart of the planet. Best dance night club that flourished from 97 - 2002. So he got me curious. Next week me and me mate buy train tickets to sheffield... we arrive, have a meal at pizza hut, then hit the bar, got liqueured up and headed towards the club. I will never forget the lights and the club building itself as we approached it, it was like we were on another planet.
The night was fantastic. Best music i ever heard, best looking clubbers, best sound system... it was a real eye opener. From then on i was a regular at the club, taking bus and train trips there almost every weekend.

In college, I used to hang out in my girlfriend's dorm with her roommate and a couple others. We were all into drugs. One of them got us doing x and going to the local raves. I started going regularly for the scene people and the drugs. Eventually, I started to dig the music. I was at a 3 day show in Indiana called Yesfest I think. Richard Humpty Vission closed one night and everybody was on acid and mdma. The whole crowd was bumpin' outside at a ski resort in summer to Get Get Down by Paul Johnson. I was hooked.

I was listening to hard trance before I was 18, so for me I just couldn't wait to go to a rave or a good club.
I grew up about 2 hours from Melbourne. The first thing I went to was a big indoor rave for my 18th birthday in Melbourne. From then on I would travel down to Melbourne every week and go to various nightclubs.
I had not even experienced a pub/bar or a 'normal' nightclub until I was at least 19.
Man, I miss the days of being all fucked up on MDMA talking to random people for hours on a couch in a dark dingy club.

Wow I didn't think there would have been anything like that in Byron. Even Sydney was pretty shit for the rave scene in my experience. Melbourne was fucking crazy for it back then. Bass Station, Bubble, Hard Kandy, PHD, Krankin. Running around the city like it was a fucking playground spending my whole weeks pay on drugs. Sounds really bad and it is, but it was also really good 
I went to Plastic once in Sydney, and it was some little fucking Joint with pokies in it. I can't remember if that was where Bexta or Amber Savage was resident but it was terrible. I also went to Sublime in Sydney witch was too big and clean looking for me. I liked dark dirty clubs.
Man those days were fun.

I was lucky enough to come out of those days with only one criminal charge. I think it would be a lot riskier doing that shit these days.

Hey Artnotwar
Did u ever dress up for nights out??
In Gatecrasher most people designed their own clothe which shows how dedicated we were
I usually wore yellow UV pants and yellow UV tank top with Gatecrasher logo on my back in blue. THEN we spiked our hair... now this is a bitch to explaine, spiked hair... wtf is that? Long ugly spikes at random on your head ? NO NO NO it was fucking stylish... very accurate smallish spiked hair in tidy rows with UV paint on the tips, fucking EPIC i tell u, really Beautiful to behold. That was trance. For hard house, we had different outfit... i spent like a month making mine: Purple furry boots, purple and white furry skirt and a short tank top, i looked dope, fucking amazing outfit, when ppl saw me they just wanted to take pictures

I met two Polish chicks that were into raves. So me and a friend joined them to an illegal rave in an old asian restaurant. A tower that rotated 360 degrees every hour. The crowd was terrible though. Only 40 year olds on far too many drugs. Our inexperienced teenage selves were a bit intimidated. We left.
The restaurant was on an industrial park. No traffic anywhere, let alone public transport. But then, as a Godsent, we spot a local bus that is "out of service" speeding along a couple of streets further along. We run as fast as we can to cut up to it and jump in front of it waving our arms...
The bus stops and we ask if there is any public transport left into the city. The driver said no but asks us where we are headed. We explain what happened and he offers to drive us to Club 11 (famous club on the 11th floor of an old post office next to Amsterdam central station, now replaced by a brand new conservatory)..!
We get in and the XTC we took earlier starts to hit us. The girls get very chatty with the bus driver and my buddy and I are just chilling in this private ride on the empty public bus. We ask the driver if we are allowed to smoke in the bus and he lets us 
We spend the entire come up inside of the bus and get dropped pretty much right in front of the Club. We casually get out and get in line for my first real club experience. It turned out to be the first dubstep night of this Club. A very progressive night as dubstep had not really left the UK yet.
We were in the elevator up to the 11th floor and the guy in the elevator starts to talk about the dubstep and how terrible he thinks it is.
The girls get out of the elevator, look at eachother and say: "whoooooo we can dance to this!".
We partied like there was no tomorrow.

How i got to know about Club 11 is this: i was wondering around Amsterdam during the day and i see a guy who is obviosly a clubber. I have a map of Amsterdam in my pocket i stop him and ask wheres the best place to go party he selected a bunch of venues all over the city .... me and my mates decided to try club 11.... EPIC.. it was amazing as we were walking by coming up on E and we see these disco lights flashing from the roof top of the building!!!!
We get there and everythings amazing.... one of the things i enjoyed is the view from 11th floor u can see whole of Amsterdam!!

raves arent about music. its about drugs
In Australia, 'rave' was only really used to describe a big event. Multiple stages and whatnot, a lot of the times they were outdoor. But the word 'rave' was more used by people that weren't into the scene, kind of like a cliché word your mum would use. I didn't really like 'raves', I liked clubs. It was about drugs man. No doubt about that. But it was also about the people, the atmosphere and the music.

I used to wear 'Phat Pants' which was about as far as most people from Melbourne would go. From the documentaries I saw, oner in the UK people used to get right into dressing up. I remember watching a Tidy documentary. It was something like 'Tidy Weekend' or something. The one thing I realised when watching that is how much different it would have been with so much coke around. It's pretty rare to come across coke in Australia, and when you do, it's fucking shit.
When I was staying in Leeds, I was fucking shocked when everyone was just out in the alleyways behind the club doing coke. Crazy.

I hear Hard Kandy and PHD are still putting on the odd night. I also heard rumours that Bubble is opening back up or has already re-opened. Pharmacy has something on next weekend. If you can't find any of that on google let me know.
I'm not really into the scene any more though TBH. These days I'd much rather go to a doof and listen to Psychedelic music.

I'd rather a doof any day, too cold now though. East of Melbourne bro. Thanks for the suggestions, I lived in Melbourne for 3 years, had a few good club experiences but usually just got dragged to average 'clean' clubs filled with plastic people.

When I was 15 in September 1996 I was into dance music (had been for years), but had never been to a "rave" or a REAL club night due to being a young kid in rural Pennsylvania. But I had some older friends who drove, and they were going to a sizable rave thrown by a production company out of Philly, invited me along with. I told my parents I was sleeping over at a friend's house and went to the party, was immediately hooked.
Funny thing, I had to come clean to my parents about going immediately. Before I even got into the event, I bumped into a family friend in the parking lot, a retired cop working security. If figured there was a chance he wouldn't mention seeing me to them, but later in the night I saw my gf's mom, who was an EMT on standby (standard protocol for a party of some 3000 people- 2 kids still ended up dying that night). So I had to tell them I went to the rave, but they were cool about it. When I got my driver's license the following summer I started going out fairly regularly. By the time I was 17, I was going to raves like every weekend.

elborito You're probably not far from me brother.
desant I've only been to Nimbin once, but not for Mardi grass. Nimbin had a big drug raid a couple of years ago. Fucking rubbish.
It's a weird little town though. Definitely not the little hippie town it is made out to be. I got the vibe of drug dealers and unemployment when I was there.

Here is a funny story, i told it before here but i'll say again cos its interesting.
In March 2001 i was out clubbing at Gatecrasher, night was going pretty great, i see some dude walking down below my blacony in UV cloth, just a UV jacket, im thinking some noob clubber.... next few m inutes i see more UV dudes passing by and i was WTF!
5 minutes later music stops and onlt then i realise these are not clubbers, these are cops!!!
Music is dead... then i see the floor is WHITE with pills!!! Everyone dumped their stash on the floor, i swear it was like snow!!!
Guess how many cops raided the club? 30? 80? .... no, 160!!!!!!! They came in cars, vans and even horses.
Promoter and about other 8 members of staff were arrested and the club was shut for 3 months after that

That would have been funny to see. it's funny when hundreds of ravers are kicked out onto the street halfway through the night.
And na I didn't know that about nimbin. Makes perfect sense though, I've heard it's full of meth and heroin.

I was at Krankin nightclub, just across the road from Bubble nightclub. We left Krankin at dusk to go to Bubble when we noticed the cops were driving around with bullet proof vests on. When we realised that it wasn't normal for cops to be wearing bullet proof vests, we noticed a police helicopter flying overhead, and TV crews doing news reports in Frances St where bubble was. Fuck it was like being in the movies.
Turns out a dealer got chased out of there and to his car with a samurai sword and a shotgun. Fucnny thing is they didn't even close Bubble, we just walked straight in there while there's police and TV reports and shit going on

Possibly maybe. Although clubs close at 5am here and people don't go until 1:30 so you only have 3,5 hours worth.

I grew up in the DC area and in the mid 90s was introduced to it going to shows at Nations. Been a psytrance head ever since. Don't care so much for raving and the whole club scene anymore though. I guess I'm getting old. But clubs are draining as fuck anymore.
