No mention of how MDMA goes hand in hand so perfectly with repetitive dance music?
It fuelled the music.
The music fuelled the scene and the drug.
And other music just doesn't quite do it.
Much of rave music was specifically written to enhance the MDMA experience.
The way DJs would work their sets would be specifically geared towards bringing up and reading the crowd with the knowledge they were on MDMA.
People would peak with the music and the drug at specific times in the night to bring everyone up at once.
The build up and drop in dance tunes that is so ubiquitous now, was first introduced purely to enhance the rush of coming up on MDMA.
This can't be overstated.
Without MDMA there wouldn't have been a rave scene and the music wouldn't have evolved the way it did.
The fact the technology to create this music was suddenly affordable and available to DJs & producers around the time that MDMA exploded onto the scene is quite profoundly serendipitous to say the least!

@@QED_ well, if I am understanding you correctly I think, for me, I listened to rave music when it first started (before I tried MDMA) and I quite liked it. I was already in bands (guitar bands) but was exploring a lot of music.
I enjoyed it.
But when I first took MDMA and heard the music at a rave it was a completely new experience. Like I had unlocked a code to a different universe.
It's like I finally GOT IT on a level that I couldn't have imagined before. And I remember watching the DJ and the people around dancing and thinking "ah!!! I get it now! That's what this music is specifically made for!" I didn't hear it or feel it before.
I later ended up co-producing dance tracks, singing on them and DJing myself.
And I believe that once you are exposed to MDMA (and in my case LSD too) it switches a switch. Once you've had that switch flipped you instinctively know what works and what doesn't. You also hear the music differently even if you are straight once you've had that experience. But still it's not as intense.
But what really adds to the experience is being with 100s/1000s of other ppl sharing that feeling simultaneously on the dancefloor together, loud, on a good sound system and with laser/light shows and/or decor at events/parties.
Now I don't take ecstacy anymore and haven't for many years. But if I listen to "certain" types of old rave music it gives me the feeling of being on MDMA again. Sometimes I really feel like I'm getting a rush.
I don't know if this answers your question?
Rave music was designed for MDMA. And dancing to that music high on MDMA is so unbelievably pleasurable & intuitive, it feels RIGHT. Like at that moment there's nothing else in the world you would rather be doing. All my closest relationships that I have still now were formed in that scene from the 90s including my husband.
It's not surprising millions of people were doing this nearly every weekend for a decade. And actually more. It was huge!

I don't care about MDMA, I just want naturally flavored root beer with safrole.

If it had never been made illegal, the course of history would have been radically changed.

Yes, I've been exploring this lately -- that's how I happened to comes across this vid. What do you say (in general) (?) Is the overall experience of Rave music primarily a CONVERGING with the experience of MDMA . . . or is it primarily a separate-but-complementary mode of EXPRESSING the experience of MDMA (?) Or maybe another way to ask that: if one is listening to Rave music without MDMA, is it a less intense form of the experience of MDMA itself . . . or is it only an experience of a certain physical expression associated with MDMA (?)

@@GenXWoman Yes, that all makes sense and reflects my own (even if differently sequenced) experience (!) Thanks much for sharing yours in such an extended way with this Boomer . . .
@GenXWoman
@@QED_ you're most welcome. Thank you for reading my extra long ramblings! 😂
@QED_
@@GenXWoman May I ask a related question, please (?) It's this: did you experience MDMA mostly in the head, the heart, or the body (?) If more than one, were you able to intentionally change which one (like some Cannabis users can do) (?)
