We know it’s been a while, but here’s episode two! For this podcast episode, we recorded a really special conversation with rave theorists McKenzie Wark and Michelle Lhooq at our Horizons NY 2024 AFTER-RAVE.
We cover topics like the differences between raving and club/party culture, the phenomenological, spiritual, and cultural aspects of raving, and even get some tips from McKenzie on how to let music do its thing on the dance floor.
This talk really inspired us to continue the conversation going at future raves, so keep your ears and feet ready to move once we announce the next iteration in the coming weeks. 💗
