Next to our Alpha Juno stands this adorable original Sandmännchen figure.
And it made us think: East Germany in two symbols.
What are they? 👇

Released today 29 years ago:

🇬🇧 The Chemical Brothers "Dig Your Own Hole" – 1997

A defining big beat landmark that's raw, sample-heavy, and built for maximum impact. The album fuses breakbeat intensity with acid lines, distorted bass, and psychedelic flourishes, creating a sound that is both chaotic and tightly controlled.

I own both albums from this guys. This first album is very different from the second one "For Your Ears Only"
I love both as they are something different!
They are known for its eclectic mix of electronic dance music and high-energy performances.

The idea that you "grow out" of EDM/Rave culture is a myth. 🚫

You don't grow out of it, you just stop settling for low-bitrate streams and $10 earbuds.

For me, the rave has shifted from the warehouse floor to a high-fidelity local setup. It's about digital sovereignty, owning your library, bypassing the algorithms, and hearing every layer of a complex synth through a proper DAC and good headphones.

Whether you’re at the back of the crowd by the soundboard with high-end earplugs or at your desk with a custom Easy Effects setup. If the BPM still hits, you belong there.

Music is frequencies. Frequencies are math. And math doesn't have an expiration date.

It is a shame that the kids of today can't experience the raves of the '90s. I met my closest friends at those, parties and I am still friends with many today. There was a real community with acceptance of all walks of people. I remember the experiences of traveling to places I shouldn't have been, at times of days I shouldn't have gone, and it was very impactful.
The festivals of today are great, but they are so commercialized, and expensive.

Anyone know who set up this site and what their intentions were?

https://ravers.nz/

It asks for an InstaGrab login and a bunch of personal information, and there's no indication of who runs the site, or what happens to the data collected. Just looks like DataFarming of naive youngsters to me.
