Ravers Are the Experts: Big Smiles and Extreme Happiness
This has to end with an explosion of emotion, every year.
Enjoy this collection of feel-good snapshots of moments in the past (and the very recent past) where you were all clearly TRULY happy.
This is a big moment for Chriszka – and for JUngLEkalenderen. This is the birthday where I got my first digital camera, small and handy enough to bring to the dancefloors. Proper cameras in phones were still some years into the future so this was as tiny and futuristic as it got. Look at my happiness and joy. JUngLEkalenderen would have been a lot less fun without this little piece of equipment.A group hug couldn’t be happier than this. Such complexity, such warmth. Elektronisk Picnic 2010.I have posted this snapshot before, but it’s just so perfect. In this moment, Hjeppe Mann has everything. Water, coconut water, a fan for fresh air, a sunset, a ja-hat, a platform to dance on, the Atmos opening set at Boom 2022. This was one of the very first days after lockdown lifted in Copenhagen, and Chriszka and Sune are truly happy to hang out at a pretty packed party in Byhaven.
