    Really getting back into dance music. Fucking love it.

    I started going to Nowadays in Queens on Sunday mornings for the early sessions. I get up at 6am, in the club by 7am, a little smoke, a little weirdness for a few hours and back home.

    I'm 43 and really am comfortable being the older guy in the club – more than i thought. Its funny how even after 30 years of going to raves, it still has the same appeal. Nowadays has a no phone policy which is amazing and actually makes the place feel timeless. The BPMs are faster than they used to be, and there are more trans folks around than there were in the north of England in the late 90s but on the whole, its comforting to know that people are still dancing in dark rooms to pounding dance music.

    • Straight edge partying intrigues me...ideaist
    • that little smoke takes off the edge...or gives u the edge...neverscared
    • as long as u stay in the groove both works...neverscared
    • Wake and bake and then zero alcohol athletic beers! Enough to be 'in the spirit', not too much to feel it for days afterwards.DaveO
    • I must stress that this is not a 'brunch rave' or 'sober clubbing' – its just a 24 hour venue where I go in the morning! Like Panorama or Berghain in essenceDaveO
    • true u have to stress.... day raves are not the edge...neverscared
