Ravers Are the Experts: We Love Machines
Posted on December 19, 2022 7 Comments
Ravers love machines, more than most people, and we are really, really good at it. We are probably the best on the planet at loving machines, because we get such incredible amounts of fun out of them. You could argue that gamers are just as good as ravers at having fun with machines. I have […]
How to be a Raver: The Powers of the Hands
Posted on December 18, 2022 6 Comments
JUngLEkalenderen loves the hands of skillful dj’s and anything made by hand, really. We like vinyls picked by hand at the record shop and mixed by hands on the decks. I have written hundreds of articles on electronic music, but the ONE article that I keep jumping back to is the article on Son Kite, […]

Ravers are the Experts: Party Animals
Posted on December 9, 2022 15 Comments
Ravers are friendly people and it goes without saying that no-one loves animals (and aliens) with more intensity than us. Obviously all junglists love lions and other predators (and all creatures from the jungle). True psytrancers only rave in nature, in close contact with all the species of this planet (and other realms). And who […]
How to be a Raver: The Mad Hatters
Posted on December 8, 2022 16 Comments
For obvious playful reasons, you will find ‘Alice in Wonderland’ and ‘Through the Looking-Glass’ references all over the rave-o-sphere, if you know what to look for. At Fusion, there is an actual tea party table somewhere semi-hidden amongst the trees, not super far from Seebühne. Apart from the Hatter himself, no-one wears hats like ravers. […]
How to be a Raver: The Sunglasses Special
Posted on December 2, 2022 21 Comments
So, we have established that ravers are always right and thus probably the most highly evolved species on this planet (along with dolphins, the ravers of the sea). If we, the ravers, were only completely in charge, the future would be so bright. So magnificently bright that we would have to wear sunglasses to stare […]

The most scary thing I have ever tried in virtual reality was a ski jump. Whauw, that felt so real. Virtual reality is an amazing tool for exploring your phobias, but the technology can also be used for many other things. The hyper focus of the VR headsets can be very useful for exploring meditation and altered […]

You might remember the collection of blasts from the past on day 6 of JUngLEkalenderen, focusing on the Pirate Party Pack boat party on the 4th of June 2006 – Blasts from the Past: Pirate Party Pack. This all took place during the 2006 edition of the Distortion festival. Which means that that weekend was (not surprisingly) […]
