How To be a Raver: The Conversationalists
Posted on December 22, 2022 2 Comments
Back in 2016, I had a JUngLEkalender conversation with fellow junglist Sofus about our first many years at raves. And how we always always always had to be the last person standing on the dancefloor. How important that was. This is a bit of the conversation: Sofus: “Now, it’s a lot easier for me to […]
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

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: Our Natural Habitats

Outdoor parties are the best. Electronic music sounds great under the open sky (this is where it really and totally unfolds properly), the blurpy and creaky sounds of psychedelic trance and techno just makes a whole lot more sense when you dance next to trees, and the tribal beats make cosmic sense when you dance […]

How to be a Raver: Food of the Gods

Some people think that ravers don’t eat, but this is obviously one of many misconceptions about the rave scene. It goes without saying that to dance for eight hours straight, you need proper fuel for the body. After a series of unlikely coincidences, an international crew of junglists and psytrancers meet up for dinner at […]
Ravers are the Experts: Party Animals

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 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 […]

Oooooh, do you remember those joyous days of the past, where you could go to paradise regularly and have the time of your life (guaranteed) with 70.000 other people? Crazy stuff happened back then, you wouldn’t believe… Sometimes people drank from the same bottle. Aaaaaah, the good ol’ days where people just pressed their faces […]
