One of the main questions for those who are starting to like electronic music or are thinking about starting to attend events is: what is a Rave Party? You have certainly heard this term from friends, on television, on the internet or elsewhere. We will explain it to you in more detail!

What is a Rave Party?

Rave parties are events that usually take place in open spaces or warehouses and that play electronic music. At these events, DJs perform their sets and there may be artistic interventions to add an extra touch to the party. They usually last more than 12 hours and are mainly held on weekends.

It is at these parties that we usually see a separate show in terms of visuals, since companies are hired to take care of this aspect. So, in terms of visuals, parties of this type will probably be very different from anything you have ever seen.

Types of Rave Parties. Rave, Events and Parties

When choosing a rave party, you may come across more than one type of environment, those that are open air (outdoors) and indoor (closed space) or PVT (Private). This type of environment can be found at the same party or at separate parties. However, this difference depends on each person's personal taste. Techno and psytrance events, for example, are usually held in different locations: the former is indoors and the latter is outdoors. However, this is not a rule; it can vary from one party to another, but it is a common factor that you may notice at some events.

In addition, at rave parties, you can listen to many different styles of electronic music, such as: techno, progressive trance, dark psy, goa, full on, house and others. As mentioned before, it is completely optional and you can choose the party with the sound that you like the most.

PLUR

PLUR (Peace, Love, Unity and Respect) is one of the main pillars of electronic music, because it is where we identify with a true family and know that everyone has a place in the scene. However, many of these concepts are being lost over time and sometimes these four pillars no longer exist at events.

Therefore, we always recommend choosing events that are highly recommended and that have good feedback from the public. Events like Maya, Baobab, Mandallah, Tree of Life and others can be great options for you who are just starting out. As they are events with a high standard of quality and that have been on the market for some time, offering the highest standard of experience for their attendees.
