The Prodigy Confirmed for Rockhal in Luxembourg on November 28, 2023

Den Atelier has confirmed that the English rave band, The Prodigy, is set to ignite the stage at Rockhal in Luxembourg, on November 28, 2023.  This news follows their last electrifying performance in Luxembourg back in 2018. For over three decades, The Prodigy has carved a unique path through the electronic dance music landscape.  While many electronic artists often adopt an image-unconscious approach, The Prodigy stood out by placing frontmen Keith Flint and Maxim Reality at the forefront.  Their incendiary live performances recreated the original spirit of the British rave scene, blending elements of arena rock showmanship and punk theatrics. Behind the scenes, it was producer Liam Howlett's studio wizardry that propelled The Prodigy to chart-topping success during the late '90s electronica boom. Howlett crafted a sonic tapestry of hard-hitting breakbeat techno , interwoven with colossal hooks and unforgettable samples. Their performance promises an unparalleled fusi

What we can do is increase the number of people at gatherings. indoor) or 100 (in the open), we will now increase it to 100 or 200, and with COVID certificates the number will be unlimited, but everyone should adhere to epidemiological measures, "said the director of the CNIPH Krunoslav Capak. For the time being, the catering facilities are only open until midnight, but changes could be introduced in that sector as well.

Watch The Prodigy in Belgrade in 1995

The Prodigy Group has a special status in Serbia. The local audience adores them, just like they adore them, but this relationship does not come from anywhere. The Prodigy are the first foreign band to visit Belgrade in 1995, eight days before the signing of the Dayton Accords, while the war was still officially over, and immediately after the sanctions, as part of their world tour when they were at their peak. On December 8, 1995, in today's Aleksandar Nikolić Hall, a former Pionir, a record number of visitors was recorded, which has not been dropped even today. While the whole of Serbia was in media and political darkness, completely excluded from the world, and young people in Serbia forgotten by the state without any hope for a better tomorrow, The Prodigy held a concert that was a turning point in many generations of Serbia, thus gaining cult status. At the cultural level, this event was completely under the radar of people from political life, and it gave young people in Serb

German express train converted to Techno Rave Train

The electronic music from the clubs went much further and opened up some new perspectives. In Germany , this has long been an important part of the culture , with the Nuremberg team turning one high-speed train into its own Techno Rave Train.  The Techno Rave Train  is a 10-wagon composition set off from Nuremberg in March 2019.  The two wagons were dancefloors and chill out, and the rest was for non-smokers who had a solid sound system.

vinyl 12" | 999999999 - 000000005 [NineTimesNine]

Fresh from serving up some savage " Rave Reworks " on an ultra-limited 12" single, techno's leading number crunchers return with an EP of fresh studio jams.  As usual, what's on offer is intense, full-throttle and mind-altering in the extreme.  Check, for example, opener (and title track) " 000000005 ", where increasingly ragged, wayward and psychedelic acid lines surge forwards over a stomping, kick-drum dominated beat, or " 000000006 ", an acid techno onslaught that waves a glow-stick towards the Halcyon days of German techno-trance.  The acid-fired '90s techno revivalism continues on the flip with two more chunks of sweaty, mind-altering peak-time insanity. Not one for the faint hearted. [ source ]

Movie - "Free Tekno" - world travelers who organize illegal parties in the forests

Free Tekno is a journey into the true underground of illegal underground techno festivals in Central Europe. The director travels with a group of Dutch and Irish young men who organize  illegal rave parties  in the forests of  Germany  and the  Czech  Republic. This is called the  underground   that is often written or referred to, but we rarely see it. As one interviewee puts it:   "We don't want money to profit, we do this out of love and be at a positive zero; if we make money, we use the money for travel or vacation expenses." "How many  parties  like this are made in which we are at all times exposed to the police shutting down music and confiscating equipment, but when you live for  electronic  music and have  enthusiasm , you do not think about blue caps" -  a director with Gunnar Hauth.

French government proposes new 'anti-rave' law

The Senate has formally proposed a new law that will interfere with the survival of the scene in that country. The law provides that every organizer must adapt to the new "precautions" that require him to meet with the mayor at least one month before the event. They are also seeking a reduction in volume and noise parameters, new administrative deadlines and other difficult criteria to apply. This law is reminiscent of the UK law of the 90s which was then in force at illegal parties. Currently, the problem is to get all the permits and authorizations, but with the new law it will be almost impossible for one average young organizer to embark on such obligations. Penalties for breaching the law are £ 3750 and / or seizing equipment that is expensive. They believe that the law will contribute to the overall better lifestyle of the stat. Club owners, organizers and promoters complain that no one involves them in the discussions and issues that affect them, s
