MDMA safety by DanceSafe

We are big fan of DanceSafe ♥ DanceSafe is a organization that promotes health, education and safety within the rave and festival community.  DanceSafe is also one of the leading groups promoting “harm reduction” policies in the rave and festival community. “Harm Reduction” is a public health philosophy that encourages policy choices at raves and fests that reduce the risks associated with the use of MDMA. On their web site they provide information on harm reduction, in fact they will set up a stand and provide unbiased drug information, patrons with condoms, water, ear plugs, sunscreen... They also provide a safe space for people to cool down and have healthy conversations about the drug use and their health. These are their rules on MDMA safety:  - test your drugs - hydrate yourself  - drink water and electrolytes - take breaks and cool down - Communicate with someone around you if you start to feel overwhelmed or are having a difficult experience Read m

Valon Hoxha and his NGO " Euphoria " from Ferizaj has been organizing music events dedicated to electronic music for two years in a row, giving special attention to the techno genre. This year, Euphoria organized its third edition at a new location, in the hall of sports in Ferizaj/Uroshevac. Young people from Euphoria team made good changes in the sporthall, so the space for the event looked like a perfect underground club. The sound was "flying" over the room, but it was hard enough to feel bass , while the lighting show played a very good role to feel every beat. Euphoria keeping techno alive! The event was opened by local DJ Liburn who played techno tracks for the first time in his home city. Although the set was full of long pauses, the audience was warmed up very well for the star of the evening! The star of this techno evening was an anonymous techno producer, SNTS , who first appeared in 2012 . with a mask on his face and thus r

In this article, we’ve rounded up some of the notable changes we’ve seen so far in the software since it kicked off. A Paid Upgrade Here’s the important thing to remember: Traktor Pro 3 is a paid upgrade. For current Traktor Pro 2 users, it is a $49 upgrade. For new buyers, it’s $99. If you get a Kontrol S4 MK3 or Kontrol S2 MK2, the software is included. MIXER FX At launch, there are nine different Mixer FX in Traktor Pro 3.    They’re all “dual-pole” effects, which means similar to Pioneer DJ’s Color FX on DJM mixers, they have two different ranges to them – meaning usually they’re off at 12 o’clock (center). Turn them to the left, and they (usually) cut the highs and apply the effect to the lower frequencies, with the intensity of the effect increasing the further the knob is turned. These FX are post fader and post-EQ – but importantly, take the place of the filter effe

PARTY REVIEW: 'RW X DEnacht' w/ VRIL (Live), Ancient Methods & Daniela La Luz

'Hapësira' presented the milestone edition 'Rilindja Warehouse' Usually, everytime ' Hapēsira ' announces it's 'RW' editions, I go and get myself the entry ticket. When I saw the lineup announcement for 'RW X DEnacht', I said to myself what I said for  EXIL's & 'Next Level's event w/ Altin Boshnjaku, Rinia Rinia, Toton, Fideles, SHDW & Obscure Shape : "I can't miss this one. If I do, I will regret it for the rest of my life." So, I got myself the entry ticket and headed to Prishtina. What can I say about the event, it was so unreal and I was so happy to be there and experience the music of  3 artists from my fav country in the world , when it comes to electronic music, but also in general - Germany ♥❤ Daniela's  set made me so happy that it gave me chills, especially during her "intro" and when she playes her very own 'Red Acid' from her EP on Parallel Berl
