Rave-O-Lution

...hardcore since 1995!

Started as a linksite with all kinds of hardhouse music like rave/gabber/hardcore/drum&bass and later transfered into an e-zine.
More info about the Rave-O-Lution-website itself, will follow.

Parties
It started just for fun, but here are some parties that Rave-O-Lution is/was involved with.

Past
I Hate Trance/Underground Forever
Somewhere in 2002, Rave-O-Lution was contacted to help Underground Forever with promoting their event: I Hate Trance.
It started with just promoting the first edition of the party, but from edition 02...Rave-O-Lution was one of the composers of the IHT-line ups.
Artists like Tieum & Frazzbass made their debut in Holland thanks to Rave-O-Lution.
I Hate Trance - The Terror Edition 3, was the last Underground Forever-event that Rave-O-Lution was involved with.

Hellraiser Germany
A big mouth can help you sometimes :)
From 2004 to 2005, Rave-O-Lution hosted the darkcore/industrial/terror area at Hellraiser Germany (and did some suggestions for the other areas).
Some big ups and big downs, but it was a ride that the crew never wanted to miss!
Rave-O-Lution (re)introduced acts like Partyraiser, NoZ, Adnoctum, Xerox, Brainwash & Fester, Lunatic & Miss Hysteria for a big crowd.

Present
The Hague Terror Squad/T-T-S
After Die-Hard (see Die-Hard chapter), the owner of Rave-O-Lution was asked by mister P.O.R.N. himself (Akira) what the future plans are.
"Not much" was the answer.

From that moment, the Rave-O-Lution crew was one of the supporting crews in the organisation of iconic-legendary noise concepts like P.O.R.N., Industrial Power & Audio Active.
Artists like Hellfish, Mark N, The DJ Producer, Simon Underground and Goetia made their first steps in Holland thanks to T-T-S and Dutch acts like The Vizitor, STK, Noizefucker and Noisekick boost them self after a gig on a The Hague Terror Squad party!

One of the biggest kicks were hosting the breakcore/terror area on Dominator Hardcore Festival in 2007 and of course P.O.R.N. - Summary of 8 years Terror.

If you visit http://www.t-t-s.nl and/or http://www.instituutporn.nl, you'll find all the info fresh and uncut about all our upcoming parties.
And remember: often imitated, never duplicated!

Die-Hard/Drop-DNB/X-beats
Underground Forever was some good fun, but Marten & Ezra decided do something different.
In 2004 they started Die-Hard Events.

We did massive parties like Hardcore Dedicated and Warship (hardcore parties on underway ship)...and we got in touch with people like Bryan Fury, E-Sicko and some other noisemakers...but we had the feeling to change.

Marten started Drop DNB to give his feeling about true drum&bass a place and later joined forces with X-beats for more 4/4-power.

Ezra and his gang moved to The Hague Terror Squad....

Rave-O-Lution is not directly involved with Drop-DNB and/or X-beats, but it's (still) supporting their raves.

Well known parties from the Drop-DNB/X-beats clan are Therapy Sessions NL, Drop! & Frea-X
More info about massive drum&bass and frenchcore can be found @ http://www.drop-dnb.nl & http://www.x-beats.nl.

Label
In 2006 Rave-O-Lution released 2 vinyl releases:
ROL 001
ROL 002
This was in cooperation with Triple Vision.

To cut a long story short: It's now 2009 and there are serious plans to release a ROL 003 by direct management!
