We're BACK with a new series (missed you).

Kicking it off, we're doing a 3-parter on the eras of being a 'raver'.

And yes we know the original concept of the word 'rave' has been diluted to basically mean dance in a anywhere to binky bonky music but when we talk about being a 'raver', it's deeper than that innit. It's the soul calling to a sweaty skank pit, the accompanying identity shift, the mind-altering experiences, the people you connect with.

In this first ep we cover the NEWBIE phase. We talk:

• Fake IDs (was always a tenner + stamp cost)
• Proof you could actually get are$$ted for fake ID
• Why some people are immediately hooked on raving and others never 'get' it
• Our first rave experiences at Fabric club, London in the early 2000s (Jessie does something grim)
• Your jokes stories (thank you!!)
• Raving news 👀

And more... next ep, we're chatting about the PRO stage. Send your rave hacks & tales of PARTY FINESSE as a DM to instagram.com/cravetheravepodcast.

We're buzzing to be back - please leave a comment, let us know what you think

We cover so much juice in this extended guest episode with the one and only DJ and ex-party fiendress Bear Winder.

Some highlights to whet the appetite...

• Bear tells us why tea is triggering for her now...

• Dating shows: what really went on behind-the-scenes for Bear on First Dates (her date didn't know what house music was), and how Jessie nearly dated Joe Swash

• Stuck on a desert island.. what one music genre, luxury item & naughty substance would you choose?

• A belated review of Boomtown 2025 and more festival break-in stories from the past

• We take a walk down a memory lane of some of the most iconic London clubs and nights from back in the early 2000s.

And so much more. Get in there.

Bear mixes, teaches on the decks and produces vibe-heavy events. Find her at instagram.com/bear_winder
