It is with great sadness to announce the passing of half of the magic made on stage. Paul Baumer passed away this morning after being diagnosed with cancer only five short months ago. All Bingo Players shows will be cancelled for the remainder of the year, as the friends and family of Paul Baumer take time to deal with the loss of their loved one. On behalf of myself and the entire worldwide EDM Family, we send our thoughts, prayers, and massive amounts of love out to the friends and family of Paul. Only the good die young <3

Rave Safe

Rave Safe

The most recognized name in the EDM scene, is not one of a DJ, but a drug that has held its place in music for many decades. Two young people, one man and one woman, died of overdoses over Labor Day weekend from the well known drug, "Molly" (or pure MDMA). The start of this drug goes back to 1912 when a German company used it as an appetite suppressant. It became popular again in the 70's by a group of therapists using it for psychotherapy. The illicit rise of the drug became evident during the 80's and 90's. Molly can be found as a crystal "rock", in powder form, or inside of a clear capsule.

In the past month, Safe Raving Awareness has been brought to the attention of hundreds to thousands of ravers due to the recent deaths at Electric Zoo Festival and many others at similar events. If you haven't already, please check out this public message from Beatport that encourages people to Rave Safe!
                            Message From Beatport

I do not condone the use of illegal drugs... However, if you choose to do drugs, be responsible about it! Drink water even if you aren't thirsty, chew gum, enjoy the lights, and dance until it hurts. Listen to your body; Keep yourself hydrated!! Ask for help when you need it and take a break if you're overheating or feeling overwhelmed. Remove yourself from uncomfortable situations and always stay with a friend to avoid getting lost in crowds. Safe raving everyone!

InsPLURation

P.L.U.R.

The term PLUR was coined by DJ Frankie Bones in the mid 80's during the acid house movement in the UK. The acronym stands for Peace, Love, Unity, & Respect. In todays world, PLUR is the credo of the rave movement and Electronic Dance Music culture. PLUR is all about accepting people for who they are regardless of race, sexual orientation, gender, etc. Ravers show their mass amounts of appreciation and loyalty to their PLUR family by trading homemade "Kandi" bracelets and coming together at these amazing EDM events.
