Boris Brejcha Live Set - Factory 93 at Grand Park 2023
This is a 2-hour audio recording of Boris Brejcha Live Set - Factory 93 Grand Park, in Los Angeles, recorded on September 3, 2023. The set began at 10:00 PM.
Ahhhh this one was the essence. This one was the nectar, the ether, the syrup, the perfect substance.
This was two hours of Boris Brejcha at Grand Park Downtown LA, delivered through a Factory 93 sound system.
This...was two hours of bliss.
The undulating melodies, powerful speakers, and hypnotizing lights quickly put attendees into stupor.
And what a comfortable groove, a perfect moment, it was.
The events at Grand Park always make me chuckle when I consider the history. And the irony.
City Hall represents The Authorities. City Hall represents the police departments and vice squads politicians sicced on us raver kids back in the 90's.
So those of us "in the know" recognize the cosmic irony of partying today in front of City Hall, with full permissions and permits granted by City officials, with LAPD officers providing protection and safety.
And the sound system...oh, the sound system! Factory 93 knows how to do it right. I don't know the individuals behind the scenes, but I suspect a few folks on the team have been doing this since the early days. So they know exactly what a sound system needs for this type of music. And with the full power and resources of Insomniac supporting the endeavor, I suspect they can assemble any system to spec, per site. This array provided a clean, full spectrum signal loud enough to warrant ear plugs, yet within city sound level ordinances. Sound like that isn't easy to achieve, so let's give props when they're due.
The good news for us is a system in an outdoor setting like that presents perfect conditions for recording! In a word, this sounds amazing.
Boris fans are going to be pleased. The sound is pristine, as are the selections and mixing. Boris was activated. As usual, he spent the first half of the set in-mask. He was the most animated person on the crowded stage; it was hard not to be touched by his energy and enthusiasm.
And the crowd was cool. Most people were dancing or at least swaying. Most people were friendly or at least tolerant.
And the weather was ideal, hovering around 69 degrees F.
So ALL the elements were there. The venue. The talent. The sound system. The crowd. The vibe. I was comfortable. This is my city, after all, my hometown. So I was in the right place at the right time. And I could just relax and settle into the moment, soak in the vibrations, breath, and take delight in what was happening. I know I had this silly grin on my face for most of the set. But how can one not smile in such circumstances?
I said I could 'relax,' but that's a relative term. All this time I'm still holding one arm outstretched above my head with my hand holding the recorder. Truth be told, it's a stress position. So what? I've seen photo books of Sadu monks in India who hold such stress positions for years as a sign of spiritual devotion. If they can do it for years, I can survive a couple hours. And truthfully, I am driven by a similar spiritual fervor, so I'm happy to do it. I honestly see it as a privilege.
So all the elements are there. The reording is rolling. I'm in my groove, doing my dance moves, entranced by the music and fog and flashing lights and happy faces and the backdrop of City Hall...and I am in bliss.
Hopefully listening to this recording gives you at least a little taste of the outpouring of beauty and love.
A note to the artists, creators, dj's, and copyright holders.
I don't do this to make money. I lose money doing this. Sure, I make a few ad dollars to cover hosting fees and such, but I'm not making back the thousands I pour into tickets, gear, and time.
In a word, I do this for Love.
The true heads in the scene know what I'm talking about. There are a lot of us out there who contribute in little ways, without expectation of big compensation. We do it for the satisfaction of building something special, and we do it because we love the music and the culture around it.
Of course, there's an element of wanting to promote the artists and further the movement. And the aspect of giving attendees something to hold onto long after the event ends.
You may be asking, what right do you have, Rave Tapes guy, to record and post other people's music? Fair question, and really a true moral dilemma. Technically, I don't have permission.
Yet, a hundred of my recordings are sitting there, live right now, on SoundCloud. I know the artists and copyright holders have tools on platforms lie YouTube and SoundCloud to shutdown unauthorized recordings. Yet, maybe a grand total of 3-4 of my recordings have been pulled over the years for copyright violations.
So what's going on? Why are the artists and ip holders allowing my recordings to persist? I have a theory.
An anecdote. The Grateful Dead.
The Grateful Dead was and is one of the most monetarily successful and prolific touring bands of all time. They weren't known for their studio albums. They were known for their live performances and spontaneous jams. Every set was unique. And they had a diehard following of tapers – primarily dudes who would buy special early bird tickets and show up with sophisticated recording gear.
The tradition of taping Dead shows spawned hundreds of 'bootleg' recordings that were traded like commodities among fans. It was especially neat to get a tape of a show you attended yourself.
The Dead saw no money from all those thousands of hours of fan-made tapes. They profited in a different way. They had the most loyal fan base I have ever seen. The real fans didn't only see one night or all three nights in one city. Hardcore fans would take time off work and follow the band...across the country...for months! Or they figured out some kind of hustle to make money in the parking lot before and after the show, selling t-shirts, drugs, or grilled cheese sandwiches. To those fans, the music was everything.
The Dead's positive attitude on taping engendered a following any artist or creator would envy. I'm not saying taping was the only reason for the band's success. But I am saying the bootlegs made a big difference in disseminating the band's music and contributing to the band's popularity.
In the old days, artists made money from records sales. Those days are gone. Few artists make real money from online sales and streams. Today, live shows and touring is where the money is.
So am I really hurting anyone by sharing the music?
The nature of this music style is extremely transitory. A dj set played last night is already old news. Tons of great new tracks get released every day, and dj's are quick to cycle through material.
I realized something. If it weren't for folks like me, the tapers, a lot of this music would disappear into thin air.
There were thousands of people there last night is a daze or stupor, either enabled by intoxicants or not, overwhelmed by the music and visuals, trying to socialize, taking care of bodily needs, checking their socials...and on and on and on. It's a freaking whirlwind of excitement and activity and it's hard to pay close attention to the music even when one is completely sober and alert.
When the two hours are over, what do people have left? Sure, they have a series of crappy but important cell phone videos. Maybe they bought a t-shirt. And of course they have the residual emotions and memories.
And for some, that is enough.
For me, it's not enough. I need to hear the damn music again. It was too good, too significant, too valuable to just let it dissipate into the ether.
So maybe I see myself providing a service. I'm sure some artists love what I do. I'm sure some hate it. But ultimately, they really do have control. Either they can flip the switch in their account to block my files, or they can drop a note in my SoundCloud, Facebook, or Instagram inbox.
It's happened before. When one dj asked me to take down a set, it was down within the hour, no hard feelings at all.
I'm not trying to antagonize you. I'm trying to help you. And if you don't like it, I can respect that. Please have someone on your team send me a note and I'll take it down, no worries.
Again, I'm doing this for love.
Respectfully, Rave Taper.

Instead of a fireworks show this year at DTLA's 4th of July block party in Grand Park, we were treated to a drone show. Pretty dope!

DCxDP au
I read this au where Talia apparently killed the flings of Bruce and the children with said flings. Like Bruce isn't aware of their existence and Talia tracks them down and kills them. She killed them so Damian is Bruce's only heir .she wanted to make sure he was the only one. She was unaware of Danny . He was adopted by the Fentons at the age of 4. The Fentons absolutely adored him. They still do.
Jazz wanted to be an older sister but since jack and Maddie are around ecto 24/7/365 they were unable to give her one. They jumped at the chance of adopting Danny when police found out his mom was dead. They found him wandering the streets of Amity . They were compelled to adopt him right then and there. They don't know why though.(The city already adopted him.The Fentons are her knights. That is why they aren't chased out of Amity for their craziness. The first Gen of knights were witches.The Fentons are the descendants.The Amity Parker's love the Fentons,even if they don't admit it.)
When he became a ghost,he became Amity s Knight.(Gotham,Amity,and Metropolis are triplet cities.Amity is the oldest, Gotham is the second oldest, Metropolis is the youngest.They all have their Knights.
Amity has Phantom (Danny) and Red Huntress (Valerie) . (I know not very OG)
Gotham has the entire Batfam
Metropolis has mainly Superman.
He had a total of like 4 kids and Danny is one of them.She killed them(-Danny) but they became part of the Infinite Realms and have high power in it.
Danny dies(well,half dies ) like he did in Canon.After defeating Pariah Dark ,the reveal goes great. He becomes High King of the Infinite Realms and gets to meet his siblings. They absolutely adore him. They are all at least 6 months apart.
Danny is 18 (Male)
Marianne is 18 1/2(Female
Nathaniel is 19 (Male)
Julianne is 20(Female)
They all have high status in the Realms. Danny views Dani as his daughter. Danny's siblings all love their niece. When they meet Jazz,they absolutely love her. They instantly claim her as theirs. Lord don't have mercy on anyone who takes romantic interest in her. She has Infinite Realms on her side,her family, Amity Parker's,4 siblings,and a niece.
She and Nathaniel were born on the same day and year They consider themselves twins in a jokingly manner and everyone rolls with it.
Damian tells his family about what Talia did.The Batfam ain't happy knowing they could have had 4 siblings. Damian says he wouldn't mind sharing the legacy with them. He is upset as he was there during the aftermath of their deaths. They are under the impression all are dead but they actually are, except Danny who is only half dead.
Damian is only 15 and a party is thrown. Constantine informs the Batfam the Infinite Realms royalty came to the party,so they should be on their best behavior. A Batfam member sees the 10 of them at the party.(Danny, Tucker ,Sam Marianne,Nathaniel,Julianne,Danielle, Jazz ,Jack and Maddie ).They see Danny's,and Nathaniel's resemblance to Thomas Wayne. They also see Marianne and Julianne's resemblance to Martha Wayne .They take a test and what do you know!
A perfect DNA match to the 4 dead kids and the fifth one being an apparent daughter of one of them. The Batfam member runs to Bruce with the impression the party is over and shouts it out as he enters the room. Only for the party to have been continuing and staring at the Batfam member .Damian heard and looked at them. They all book it as the Ballroom erupts in chaos.
Bruce is going through all 4 stages of depression in a matter of seconds.Damian is sorrowful at the fact his existence killed them. Batfam are now fully aware they are Infinite Realms royalty. Constantine is being contacted on his soul's extended warranty.
#Bruce Has 3 Fully Dead Kids#Bruce Has One Half-Dead Kid#Bruce Has A Grand-daughter#Bruce Tries To Adopt Them#Amity Parker's Stop Him#Amity Park Stops Him#Fenton's Stop Him#They Don't Like Him#Damian Is Still Feeling Quilty That His Existence Killed Them#dpxdc#Danny Phantom#Sam Manson#Tucker Foley#John Constantine's Soul's Extended Warranty#Lol#dcxdp
