Issue 11 – Ravescene

Ravescene Magazeen #11 (Mar ’92) goes underground with Spiral Tribe, pioneers of free hardcore techno raves for up to 15,000 ravers. Also packed with UK and international rave listings, from Ravescene Party III to Storm Rave and Future — Rockin’ the Boat 92 with no rules, just music.

FEATURED ARTICLE – Spiral Tribe

Spiral Tribe have been around for a while organizing free raves up and down the country, often at the festivals. They don’t promote their events at all, but have managed to pull up to 15,000 ravers at a time. The music’s hardcore techno all the way, and only stops when every one has gone home, on average 72 hours after the start. Spiral Tribe live by the ‘ Terra-Technic’, in synch with the pulse of the planet and the Universe. Their message is in the music, the music of the future, the music with a hard cutting edge. The costs are met by people giving their time and talents freely, anonymously. Just enough is made by passing the hat and selling refreshments, Any money over is turned into music, via The Spiral Tribe label.

Think of dancing in a field, under the stars, grass underfoot and no organisers, no security, no attitude, just thousands of like-minded people under the influence of the music, the strobes and the smoke.

The Roundhouse, The Old School House, Camberwell bus garage and Amsterdam are now in the past. The future holds Sound System City, the gathering of the Tribes for the Summer Solstice, and an event somewhere, somehow, every weekend.
