Description
「Wherever DJing is headed, its history teaches us to keep our eyes on the underground, and in dance music there’s always an underground. This is at its most creative just after things have got horribly commercial.」
The only thing one can find at a theme park created by capital within a colonial and imperialist system founded on genocide and environmental destruction is a brief moment of self-directed ecstasy. Rave culture started with a different set of values aimed at an ecstasy bringing the collective together.
These were spaces built by outsiders to the mainstream culture of the daylight world, building spaces and alternative worlds together, tying their hopes together. Even the momentary ecstasies that also arise in such spaces cannot be allowed to be coopted by colonialist structures for purposes of propaganda.
Now, when a person who idolizes the Thatcher who said “There is no alternative” has been elected head of the party in power, isn’t it time for us to build alternatives – worlds where we don’t close our eyes to the violence of capital – just like the ravers of the past?
This party aims to be the first step toward bringing Tokyo into connection with a community of mutual care and support, an underground scene that transcends borders.
