The Fascist State or How To Ruin a Rave Party

The Fascist State or How To Ruin a Rave Party

2005-08-28 by José Sáez

Imagine that you are gigging. Playing to a crowd, dropping beats and basslines and building grooves. And suddenly, a swat team, appears on scene, forcing you to turn off your equipment, arresting the ravers, the djs, the cameramen...

It happened. Recently. In Utah. USA. Land of the free...

Check the videos, it could happen to you.

Thanks for the post.  I checked out some of the links.  It is a shame 
the people in army-style uniforms [the police action] broke up what 
seemed to be a well organized and peaceful assembly of e-music 
afficionados. I have been moving in the direction of playing out, but 
this kind of things scares me.  (And I just bought a backup X-15 foot 
controller!!)
