Save The Rave!!


In San Francisco, there is a bill being proposed that blatantly targets people or organizations who throw raves, making them criminally responsible. If you can, do your part and ensure this doesn't happen!!

If I would have known about this earlier, I personally would have made it out to San Francisco to voice my opinion. You can still do your part, check out the link below.

Raving isn't just something you do, its a way of life. Remember that!

Don't let legislators tell you your lifestyle is criminal.

Get involved.

Jason Sperling, also know by Dyloot in the EDM world and proponent of Save the Rave had this to say:

"Since I started in this industry, I have seen an explosion in the popularity of electronic dance music. The younger generation has embraced this community in higher numbers than we have ever seen, leading to larger events and an increased number of attendees who have not yet benefitted harm reduction program. (A Little knowledge can save a life)


Issues of drug and alcohol abuse are larger social issues that are not the result of EDM events. We welcome the opportunity to work on harm reduction with the cooperation of City Officials. I suggest that we look to our colleagues in Los Angeles for a valuable model about how to proceed. Their task force – made up of public health officials, venue operators, promoters, and local law enforcement – arrived at a series of recommendations that are extremely helpful. "
