RaveStation Overground

RaveStation Next Evolution!! From the UK Underground to the J-Core next generation, RaveStation Overground brings the international hard rave sound to Metro Detroit.
A real time dance party hard and extreme, JAKAZiD, LOLISTYLE GABBERS, DUSTVOXX and the RaveStation crew will keep you coming back for more.

Tickets: bit.ly/ravestation624

– JAKAZiD (UK) –
Voted 9972nd best DJ in the world in DJ Mag a few years back. Screendoor Randyman. Totally impervious to Mandelson. Familiar with the Mexican sacatripe. I did that Cillit Bang remix which no one intends to let me forget any time soon.

– LOLISTYLE GABBERS (JP) –
An Animetic Hardcore unit that works with the creed of “Overspeed, Overcute.” Unleash the reconstructed anime sound in your own style on the dance floor with a high-speed beat of 200 BPM. A crazy sound called Jaycore and the edited video will jack both auditory and visual.

– Dustvoxx (JP) –
Started his career in 2011. He has expanded his range of activities by recording songs for the KONAMI music games SOUND VOLTEX, jubeat, DanceDanceRevolution, and appearing as DJ / LIVE at events such as HARDCORE TANO*C and HARDGATE.
In 2016, “The Speed Freak -Make’em die slowly (Dustvoxx Remix)” released by France-based Frenchcore’s largest label Audiogenic became a hot topic.
In April 2017, performed at the big UK festival Bangface Weekender. In July 2018, performed at Fuji Rock Festival ’18.
His label “CYCLIK CONTROL” develops the concept of pursuing the boundary between high BPM and low BPM such as UPSHFT party and New Invoke compilation series.
In 2019, he gradually shifted his activities to Hi-Tech trance music, starting with the release of “Neokontrol ft Dustvoxx, Laur – FireLight Remix” from O.V.N.I Records. After releasing Portal [EP] at the end of the same year, he put all the sound programming he had cultivated in his career into Hi-Tech Trance, is diving into the world of psychedelic trance with confidence and devoting his energy to exploring the possibilities.

– banoodle (US) –
banoodle is a DJ and producer from Detroit with an addiction to two things: anime, and breaks. He brings jungle, DnB, breakcore, and more to the dance floor with a thick layer of amen breakage.

– P&K (US) –
At exactly 9:09 AM on September 9th, 2009, P&K was chopping breaks in his pirated copy of Ableton Live 8 when his computer exploded, turning him into a quirked up white boy with a little bit of swag. Since that fateful day, this lad has scoured distant lands in search of the finest 128kbps mp3s, leading crowds worldwide on his mission to discover what it truly means to become goated with the sauce.

– snesei (US) –
snesei started making music in 2010 on Gameboys, and recently fell in love with DJ’n. He likes to mix a little bit of everything!

Haven LARP June 2022 Event

18+ to play. Must be “fully vaccinated” and present vaccination card. Your first event is FREE! Join us in the land of Solaria where you can be the savior of the town of New Haven! Play an armor-clad warrior, the wise sage, crafty rogue, or other fantasy based classes. Players may choose to play a human, dwarf, elf, and many other races that inhabit the world of Solaria. Fight vile beasts, collect clues to unlock mysteries, and use diplomacy to talk your way out of sticky situations. Haven LARP uses the Final Haven Rulebook. This is a medieval fantasy themed Live Action Role Playing (LARP) that takes place over the course of the weekend. Come join us thwarting demons, defending the town, or crafting schemes and looting your fallen foes!

Returning players use promo code ONLINE for $5.00 off the event price! During the LARP weekend, we will be playing from 8:00 pm Friday night until 12:00 pm on Sunday. During this time you will be playing your character – including times you are sleeping and eating. Rustic cabins with electricity are available to players, but they will need to bring their own bed linens. Rustic cabins are not heated so a space heater and/or electric blankets are recommended during the winter months. Food is not provided, but often other players will provide Saturday Breakfast & Dinner for a small fee (usually $10 for the weekend). Refrigerator, microwave, oven and stove are available if you wish to supply and cook your own meals. If you are not familiar with medieval fantasy LARPS, you should wear an appropriate costume (or come as close as you can – even if it’s just a tunic and sweat pants). Weapons must be foam boffer style or latex created or sold for the purposes of LARP. Weapons need to be approved by the staff before they may be used.

Late arrivals and early departures are permitted. We hope you’ll join us, make new friends and have an AWESOME weekend!
