The 10 Best Rave Movies of All Time

If youre into the electronic music scene, Im sure at one point youve looked online for rave movies to watch. Unfortunately, there arent many out there and on top of that, plus, many of them suck. However, Ive put together a list of the best rave movies of all time.

Although a few of them arent directly about raves (using that term loosely), each of these movies have some sort of party element to them with electronic music. Some you may have seen others may be something new. Either way, here is the Top 10 Best Rave Movies of All Timein no particular order.

First up is the title Its All Gone Pete Tong. This movie is about the character Frankie Wilde, a really popular DJ in Ibiza that eventually goes deaf from years of loud music. Whats great about this movie is that it has a pretty killer sound track, really funny scenes, the character Frankie is really identifiable. The film is shot in thispseudo-documentary style where there are interviews with real DJs talking as if Donnie were amongst them.

Im not going to spoil the movie but its one that you can watch over and over because of how solid it is. It shows the rise of fall of Frankie, from the top of his game to a really bleak moment. You get to see these really great party scenes that pull the movie together, mix in a cocaine habit and you get one wild character. Could you imagine losing your hearing when youre a DJ? You should check it out.

Ahhh Groove, perhaps my most favorite from the list. This is the stereotypical rave movie. Basically, a group of people break into a warehouse to throw a rave and the kickertheyre all waiting on Digweed to show up. In between you get all sorts of small interactions between the characters from the DJ that messing up his set, druggies, a flaky marriage, rolling and all sorts of events which youd think to see at a typical rave.

Although the movie is a bit overblown and styled for Hollywood, there are many events and dialog between the characters that always seem to happen at parties.

TheSite.org takes a trip to a field just off the M25 to discover what the hell rave culture is all about.

A rave is an all night event, where people go to dance, socialise, get high and generally have fun in an uninhibited way with other likeminded people. Some say it's about the creation of a community and re-connecting with something perceived as lost. Others just say it's about necking loads of pills and getting wasted with your mates in a field.

Usually in a derelict warehouse, a club, a beach, a field, an aircraft hangar or a sports arena - anywhere you could fit a massive sound system and a lot of people. In the rave heydays of the late '80s, the larger events attracted tens of thousands of people. The venue would often remain secret up until hours before the party was to begin as a way of keeping the police away. Organisers would even sometimes have backup sites in mind in case the cops sniffed them out - which they did more and more often.

The term rave first came into use in Britain in the late 50's referring to the wild bohemian parties of the time. It was then briefly revived by the mods, but didn't come back into fashion until the illegal London warehouse party scene in the mid eighties. However it is likely that the term 'rave' came from Jamaican usage rather than a revival of any previous usage in Britain.

Rave crowds were and still are mostly (but not exclusively) young from all sections of society .

Rave music is what most people now call 'dance' music, or as some government wonk put it, music with a distinctive 'series of repetitive beats'. Early ravers discovered that the combination of ecstasy and music with fast, repetitive beats was a marriage made in disco heaven. The big raves have a line-up of bigtime DJs as well as some live performances by dance music bands.

Instead of money and power, rave called for empathy, intimacy, spirituality and the joy of losing yourself in the crowd.

There are many theories why the UK went nuts for raving in the late 80s and beyond. It happened during a period of major consumerism and individualism. Margaret Thatcher was telling everybody to look after number one (famously saying there was "no such thing as society"). There was bound to be a reaction to this and it helped that a bunch of English DJs had just got back from Ibiza where they had experienced ecstasy and rave culture first hand. They brought it to the young people of Britain and within a year rave culture had flourished. Instead of money and power, rave called for empathy, intimacy, spirituality and the joy of losing yourself in the crowd.

Some other random thoughts: Doug Rushkoff, author of Ciberia, observed that the majority of house music runs at the speed of 120 bpm (the rate of the foetal heartbeat), while Simon Reynolds has noted that raves mimic the atmosphere of a nursery with its use of kids' TV themes, sampled baby vocals, dummies, baggy unisex clothes, and the camouflaging of drugs as sweets. Think about that next time you go dancing.

By the early '90s, the Tory government, the police, the tabloid press and middle England had all had enough of rave culture. The government acted, passing the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act (1994).

The Ibiza Tapas & Wine Bar is named after the famous Balearic Island off the south eastern coast of Spain. The inspiration for Ibiza came from owner, Antonio Pereira who expanded his Mallorca Empire by replicating that Spanish concept in Philadelphia, Cleveland, and Cincinnati.

Floating between Spain and the North African coast, the Balearic Islands are invaded every summer by a massive multinational force of hedonistic party animals and sun seekers. This is hardly surprising considering whats on offer: fine beaches, relentless sunshine, good food and wild nightlife.

Michaela McCollum and Melissa Reid who had been working in Ibiza this summer, had previously claimed they were coerced into carrying the drugs by Colombian drug lords who kidnapped them at gunpoint.

They said theywere forced to board a flight from Lima to Spain with 24lb of cocaine in food packets hidden inside their luggage when they were arrested.

So far they have been held at the notorious Virgen de Fatima prison in Lima.

Their guilty pleas at the end of September came on the same day that the UN declared that Peru has now overtaken Colombia as the world's number one coca leaf producer, the raw material of cocaine.

According to a report by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, coca plantations in Peru covered 60,400 hectares last year.
