Dance parties developed in Australia in the mid 1980s particularly in Sydney, in
warehouses, or clubs. It was largely an art school and fringe gay crowd in their twenties
and thirties. Around 1990 a new concept, the rave, was imported from the UK and
Europe. The music was more important than the party, and it was fast.

The venues were often outdoors and secret, and they attracted a bigger teenage crowd.

In the past four years raves have been restricted and much more heavily policed. Now
the venues are less secret and more likely to be indoors, in warehouses or sport centres.

The "doof", was coined more recently in Australia. Doofers are anti-commercial, a more
political crowd, including the fluro ferals, and urban travellers, the vibe tribe. Their
territory spans the city and the bush.

The various techno tribes have their adopted musical style. The music varies in speed,
from 120bpm (beats per minute), to 200bpm. And although high bpm's and repetitive
beats are common characteristics, it's the feel, what's going on under the beat, that
differentiates.





Electronic music styles have sprouted like shoots off the main stems of
house, trance, hard core, techno and drum and bass.

So you have happy house, hard house and funky house. Deep trance,
acid trance and goa trance. Happy hardcore, industrial hardcore and
killcore or ragga. Garage, jungle, drum 'n'bass and hardstep - to name
a fraction. And each subgroup has a substantial following.

I'm gone sending you outer space...to find another race...
