When the sun is shining, and let’s be fair we had a sun-soaked one, the choices skew towards dancing at rooftop parties, making new friends in day festivals in the evergreen parks of London, or getting lost in the late-night sweaty stomping in camping festivals. Three festivals stood out from this summer that I’m waiting to secure the early bird tickets for – <a fr-original-style="" href="https://www.instagram.com/weoutherefest/" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: rgb(9, 9, 9); text-decoration: none; background-color: transparent; outline: none; cursor: pointer; transition: color 0.3s ease 0s; touch-action: manipulation; user-select: auto; box-sizing: border-box;" target="_blank">We Out Here</a> in Abbots Ripton, <a fr-original-style="" href="https://www.instagram.com/lovesupremefest/" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: rgb(9, 9, 9); text-decoration: none; background-color: transparent; outline: none; cursor: pointer; transition: color 0.3s ease 0s; touch-action: manipulation; user-select: auto; box-sizing: border-box;" target="_blank">Love Supreme</a> in Glynde Place (scored already), and <a fr-original-style="" href="https://www.instagram.com/thisisgala/" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: rgb(9, 9, 9); text-decoration: none; background-color: transparent; outline: none; cursor: pointer; transition: color 0.3s ease 0s; touch-action: manipulation; user-select: auto; box-sizing: border-box;" target="_blank">Gala</a> in Peckham.I believe there are two important historic influences on the rave culture as we know it. The first one comes from across the Atlantic, 70’s in New York, starting with David Mancuso and his Loft invite-only underground dance parties. In these parties David Mancuso and his friends laid the roots of beatmatching and record pool system. Loft parties were all about sharing the love for music and almost worshipping the music played by the DJ, dancing turning into a religious ritual. These invite-only parties did not only shape dance music but also were a source of inspiration for private discotheques of the 70’s &amp; 80’s such as Studio 54. The first private party held by Mancuso was on Valentine’s Day in 1970 and was called “Love Saves The Day”. The predominant music was mostly disco and funk, including legends like Earth, Wind &amp; Fire, George Duke and James Brown.<img src="https://images.aposto.com/2022/9/1/1664795850541.jpeg" style="display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center; width: 100%; max-width: 550px; border-style: none; position: relative; cursor: pointer; padding: 0px 1px; box-sizing: border-box;" width="550" ratio="1.47" fr-original-style="display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center; width: 100%; max-width: 550px;" fr-original-class="fr-draggable">The opening of Hacienda, ManchesterPhotos: courtesy of Ben Kelly<hr fr-original-style="" style="height: 0px; overflow: visible; border-bottom: none; clear: both; user-select: none; break-after: page; box-sizing: border-box;">The second influence is The Second Summer of Love in the late 80’s where The Hacienda in Manchester was one of the major players. Even though illegal raves were popping everywhere in the UK at the time, clubs such as Shoom &amp; The Hacienda were finally acquiring licenses to run all-night parties. Inspired by the illegal rave culture of early 80’s where the location of the party was communicated through phone booth calls, answering machine messages, mobile messaging and secret flyers, these legal raves still held on true to the anti-establishment &amp; sub-culture aspect of dance parties. The predominant music of this era was house music, in particular Acid House with tracks that last up to 10 minutes, influenced by Detroit, Chicago and Ibiza sounds.Nowadays London is at the forefront of raving culture today with big establishments like Fabric, Printworks and Koko as well as more underground clubs such as Colour Factory, Corsica Studios and Fold. For this autumn/ winter season, the parties that I am most looking forward to are these three:<h2 fr-original-style="" style="margin: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.85); font-weight: 500; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;"><img src="https://images.aposto.com/2022/9/1/1664796112925.jpeg" style="display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center; width: 100%; max-width: 550px; border-style: none; position: relative; cursor: pointer; padding: 0px 1px; box-sizing: border-box;" width="550" ratio="1.72" fr-original-style="display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center; width: 100%; max-width: 550px;" fr-original-class="fr-draggable"></h2>Folamour<hr fr-original-style="" style="height: 0px; overflow: visible; border-bottom: none; clear: both; user-select: none; break-after: page; box-sizing: border-box;"><h2 fr-original-style="" style="margin: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.85); font-weight: 500; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;">Folamour presents: House of Love</h2>What: <a fr-original-style="" href="https://ra.co/events/1581724" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: rgb(9, 9, 9); text-decoration: none; background-color: transparent; outline: none; cursor: pointer; transition: color 0.3s ease 0s; touch-action: manipulation; user-select: auto; box-sizing: border-box;" target="_blank">Folamour</a> dropping his disco beats in the refurbished KokoWhere: KokoWhen:&nbsp; 14 October<h2 fr-original-style="" style="margin: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.85); font-weight: 500; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;">Honey Dijon presents Radiance</h2>What: Chicago-native <a fr-original-style="" href="https://thebeamslondon.com/whats-on/honey-dijon-presents-radiance/" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: rgb(9, 9, 9); text-decoration: none; background-color: transparent; outline: none; cursor: pointer; transition: color 0.3s ease 0s; touch-action: manipulation; user-select: auto; box-sizing: border-box;" target="_blank">Honey Dijon</a> bringing together a mix of tastemakers such as Dan Shake and Mr. G.Where: The BeamsWhen: 15 October<h2 fr-original-style="" style="margin: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.85); font-weight: 500; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;">The Hydra: Erased Tapes</h2>What: London based independent record label <a fr-original-style="" href="https://printworkslondon.co.uk/event/the-hydra-erased-tapes/" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: rgb(9, 9, 9); text-decoration: none; background-color: transparent; outline: none; cursor: pointer; transition: color 0.3s ease 0s; touch-action: manipulation; user-select: auto; box-sizing: border-box;" target="_blank">Erased Tapes</a> mixing genres with music visionaries like Gilles Peterson at the South London raverWhere:&nbsp;PrintworksWhen:&nbsp;5 NovemberSee you on the dancefloor!
