      Hi there,

      I ‘m a French guy trying to open myself to our neighbors from over the
      Channel especially since I spent 2 years in Manchester in 97/98 and discovered the tekno scene there (some might remenber the ‘Havoc’ & ‘Herbal Tea’ Parties there in 1997). I had such a good time that I wannted to find the same back in France and ended in free parties.

      Then I got mor involved in the French tekno. I found some mates to go round France and Europe chasing summer teknivals.
      Then, made friends with people from the http://www.defcore.net website (a small free site for free people) and we made some parties by ourselves.
      I tried making music on Fruity loops but stoped coz the results was not as I expected.
      I live in the South West of France (Toulouse) for 3 years nos since I left Paris.
      I juggle (balls and clubs), play the guitare, love cooking and eating (hey I’m french !!!) and I love speaking English, traveliing, listening to music, and as every one here, partying

      Hope to have a good vibe on this forum.
      And if you’re looking for any thing in France, I’ll be glad to help.
      Oh by the way, don’t talk ’bout finding the Olympics in France…

        welcome to partyvibe – good to have you on here! the defcore site seems familiar to me, is it part of Network23?

        I will look on there, I can understand the site but I have let my French get rusty, it will be a good incentive for me to keep up with other european languages, in Britain we become far too insular sometimes…

        a good friend of mine (bono) is also from France. I forget where, but he always puts the number 38 in his e-mail addresses etc, I think that is the code number for a département in france somewhere?

        I think French and English ravers definitely need to work and party together more; especially as our governments are using the same laws and tactics to stop our raves (the mariani(sp?) law is a word-for-word translation of Britains Criminal Justice act!)

        but you should do something about those hairy caterpillars to scare them away from the rave sites… they caused many of my friends health problems at Frenchtek

          LOL (it’s english too I guess… coz in France we’re using ‘MDR’ for ‘Mort de Rire’ eg Dead by Laugh…)

          Well defocre has nothing 2 do with the orignal tekno family that your esteemed country has sent us few years ago… and chek out the result !
          Thx again 😉

          Bono’s a comon family name in France. and 38 sounds like a French Dept. (tha main city is Grenogble, it’s in the south East not too far from Lyon)

          For the story, in 2001 a deputy called Mariani (u’r right, respect for knowing this) decide to create a law to prevent from raves. Well at the time there raves every we (= week end) and most of town-mayors were scared of this youngsters having party in the middle of nowhere. There was no communication. After the teknival from Marigny (1st edition) the Assembly voted for the law which was made part of the Security enforcement laws after sept 11. (it was called LSQ for Lois sur la Securité Quotidienne, Laws for Every day security, which also had a part concerning youngster standing in the entry of buildings, people were scared of the youth).
          At the contrary, it made try to meet more people and discuss more. For me it created THE new unity (remenber ?? “we need a new unity”..). That’s how I met some people throu chats mostly. Thx to Defcore’s chat called DED-Zone like the dead zone (DED = Dialogue En Direct, no need 2 translate..).
          So I chatted with few people and we met in parties here and there. And as time goes on, we decided to organise our own priv8z in 2002/3. At the time I was living in Paris. But I decided to go further South and settled up in Toulouse. I live there since 3 yrs and the city is really great !
          And I met new people and found free parties. It’s funny how Northern parties are different then Southern ones. I could tell why, but it’s a fact.
          Though I don’t move a lot (4/5 ârties/yr). I’m getting older : 31 this year !!. But I had some good gigz. I remenber of a Desert Storm one in Spain near Mipanas, u can’t imagine !!!). and last I was in the middle of the forest
          Well I love it here !
          If u come to toulouse, be my guest 😉

          U can catch me on mu mail : psykeg@yahoo.com
          and I’m sure I’ll have some questions or translation to ask, so talk 2 u later
          bye

              Yes I know, there was a big repression this last years because landowners and small cities mayors had to feel heard by our right wing gvt. So our fukin minister of interior, the small nicolas Sarkozy (u must have heard of him otherwise I wouldn’t believe that u came in France becoz he is a media star), well he decided that he would finght against insecurity…. ooohhhh what a noble heart he must have. But in fact he is wrong in a great part of his idea (yep unsurpisingly I don’t follow vote for right wing conservatives…). Well he had the tendancy to invert causes and consequences… which lead him to fight against youth, prostitutes, homeless… the victims suddenly became the guilty ones. And the majority of the society felt better because they felt understood. Though to my opinion nothing has really change.

              R u still in Montpellier ?? must be fun down there !!! Pretty girlz, close to the Sea and the Montain (both, Alpes and Pyrenees), happy people, loads of students, and great parties in the countryside few km … what else do u want ?
              Well if u’r still there, we might come across each other coz I live in Toulouse (2/3 hours drive away) so that could b fun.

                And no more than last w/e I was in the middle of the forest (that was national day in France, July 14th, so it was a long W/E… bank holyday u say)

                    hows it going, french crew? cheers for the lowdown on the francais situation, my girlfreind is down in tolouse at the mo, her best mate moved there a year ago and has married some moroccan bloke down there, it all sounds wicked. must be nice to have that extra bit of warmth to go with your sea! my mums down in charente, which is pretty dead, but ive had some good advice.

                    i have to say that it seems that uk rigs are up for missions to frenchtek, czechtek et al, but we rarely get french rigs up here for our big parties. is it cos we are crap at organsising, is it the cost, who knows?

                        Well well, it’s true that French Krews don’t come so often to England…
                        I guess it’s becoz the country is expensive (cigs and alcohol), and it’s maybe more diffcult to come (driving the wrong side of the road).

                        I guess there is also the fear of the repression, as the UK was the first country to have anti free parties laws.

                        But I remenber there was some good “Infrabass” and “DKlé” parties 5/6 years ago.

                        And talking for myself, I can’t wait to come back to the UK for a free party (never done one when i was in Manchester, only clubs parties and couple of house parties…)
                        But I’d love to have a rig in the forest.
