Depends what you're into. My cousin lives in Brighton and says that the superior 'raves' are at house parties/outside rather than in clubs. You've just got to find the right ones, and you can only do that by mixing with 'those' people who are savvy about these things. Enjoy.

Also, do you know of any good clubs in London for trance/acid house raving sort of thing please?

Hey guys I've firmed Sussex due to start this September doing CompSci. Wanted to ask about the rave scene in Brighton. Heard its got quite a big free party/squat rave scene which is something I'm very into and was wondering whether any students could hook me up with the connect for finding when these things go down.

Also looking for info on the rave clubs in Brighton (similar to Fabric/Egg for any of you Londonders).

Thanks hope to make friends with some of you party peeps in a few months

Hey Sam

I'm a second year at Sussex and a big fan of raves/free parties. I've been to a couple of free parties on the southdowns/in the woods by campus recently. The only real way to find out about this is word of mouth, so trying to find like minded people. As for rave clubs, Volks in brighton as a lot of alternative raves nights. I went to one there recently that was 6pm-6am and played all sorts. It gets a bit of a bad place for being a bit grim or rough but Ive never had any trouble there and I really like it - it may not be classy but it's honest and is the best place for the free party vibe. Also Concorde 2 has a fair few alternative nights. Tbh though, I've found house parties are the best bet. People put on some sick ones sometimes! Just get to know people who are into the same kinda stuff as you and eventually you'll start to wiggle into the scene or find houseparties with the rave feel. Hope this helps :smile:

I've heard they host many parties and raves in warehouses and stuff like that in London. Anyone know anything about those?

I know of a place called Sidings Warehouse near London Bridge. It's a warehouse turned club, I went there in October when Danny Daze was playing... I think it was pretty good.

For secret raves/word of mouth type things, look up the 'Synthesis Project' group on Facebook. I can't remember how it works, as I'm not really into that sort of thing anymore, but essentially what happens is you give them your phone number, and they'll text you details of secret raves and parties, times, locations, etc.

Raves are just parties organised by the police they use it as a opportunity to blackmail people into becoming informers or agent provactuers ie entrapment

squat raves have died since croydon rave that made the national news it baited up the scene and now it is nearlly impossible to find a rave in london... they might be back in a few years
