r/aves
Have any of you guys thrown your own raves or events? If so, what advice do you have?
I'm planning the logistics of throwing my own rave, and I did not know there was a lot that went into it. I've thrown some small events in the past DJing there as well, but I didn't think there would be a whole bunch to know about throwing raves. I'm very interested as to what makes an event exciting without having it go down in flames, so I'd love to hear your tips. What tips do you have? What are some things I should keep in mind. Bestow your holy wisdom unto me please!
EDIT: Please bestow your holy wisdom unto me without starting fights in the comments please. We keep the R in PLUR.
To the couple who handed us their totem and took a photo of us
then gave us the photo, thank you so much! This is my wife and my 5th EDC. We have thousands of videos and photos over the years. We've always had an awesome time and have awesome memories. Without question, this is our favorite photo.
I hope that you two had a wicked great time. You made our night even better than it was. Thank you, you're awesome.
ETA: This was Day 2 and we were dressed as Pokémon Trainers and were handing out Poke balls and Pokémon. Their totem was a Togepi.

Understanding lost and found after the festival (phone stolen/lost)
Hey everyone, unfortunately I lost a phone on the last day of EDC, and I wasn't able to find it at Lost and Found nor call/Find My it. I have been trying to ping it all of yesterday and check the website for updates, but just this morning the message above appeared.
From my understanding the lost and found onsite closes at 5pm yesterday and is then moved off-site (I'm guessing their LA insomniac HQ?). But does anyone know if once the items arrive, will they continue to be processed and new items show up on the site? Or was the processing only done onsite and then the ones in HQ just sit in storage? If it's the first option I can still have some hope that my phone's somewhere with Insomniac (the Find My pinged on the I-15 south around 4pm yesterday which COULD be on the way to LA) but if not then it's probably on the way to china :(
If anyone knows for sure or has experience with losing their stuff at EDC please let me know 🙏🙏 Thank you everyone!
Anyone have EDC Stage Cards? 🙏🃏
Has anyone attended EDCLV26 received any VIP stage cards?
I have duplicate Cards of: Circuit Grounds & Neon Garden, two vip lanyards (with full laminated set list), EDC guidebook, EDC pins.
Looking to trade for stage cards : Bionic Jungle, stereo bloom, cosmic meadow, wasteland, bass pod.
Trying to complete the set for my birthday & first EDCLV. Hoping the rave community can provide! Spent a few hours running to every stage talking to every insomniac worker.

Never thought l'd make one of these posts but shoutout to the group of 4+ people who helped us with our friend! Lucked out with few of them being nurses, and not only that but one of my eargasms fell out and they helped try to find it and gave me a spare 1! Love the community love the plur 🫶
Someone peed at kinetic field john summit
To the girl that peed at kinetic field and had the group BARRICADED for yourself. FUCK YOU AND YOUR GROUP, you guys are horrible. If you cannot make it to the opening of the set then just fucking miss it and pee at the porta potty like the rest of us and then go in after! You ruined the moment for everyone else and the place is for public and not a fucking restroom.
Amazing moment at a rave in Mexico City!
Just wanted to share this story!
My girlfriend, my best friend and I were dancing at a rave at an underground club in Mexico City, having a great time and coming up strong! The DJ played a song that ended with the word “sentimiento” (“feeling” in Spanish) and that resonated with me so I started shouting “sentimiento, sentimiento, sentimiento!” (“feeling, feeling, feeling!”). The people next to me suddenly looked at me liked I had discovered fire and also started shouting this word!
Before we knew it the whole club was shouting “sentimiento, sentimiento, sentimiento!” It was a truly amazing, magical moment: the whole crowd uniting thanks to a simple word that just expressed that we were FEELING!
Definitely a memory I’ll never forget!
Btw, if you’re ever in Mexico City, don’t miss out on the rave scene… it can be tricky to get into a nice, curated event but when the stars align, you’ll have a great time!
Vibing and closed my eyes and someone grabbed and squeezed my shoulder?
Silly but I've been over thinking this (I have some anxiety). Was vibing in a boiler room last weekend. At one point I closed my eyes for a second. I'm a man. And I felt someone grab my shoulder pretty firmly and squeeze. I popped my eyes open and a guy a bit in front of me had been the one who touched me and he just kinda gave me a nod. I dunno what that was supposed to mean? Was I bothering them?
Next Saturday in Miami❗️
Flava D & Chef Boyarbeatz are cooking up for 3 years of Rumble in the Jungle!🎂
Who am I seeing out there??
