I was never a fan of Electronic Music, I tolerate it for the drugs and the temporary extroversion.
However there may be other ways. There might be Facebook groups that advertise raves in your area for example. Event websites, local blogs. You may or may not end up in a good and fun one, but you might end up meeting someone who can point you in the right direction.
One problem you might encounter is age. I find it funner to go to age appropriate events. If you’re in your 30s for example, you probably don’t want to party with 20 year olds. And electronic music culture is old enough that at this point you have people in their 50s still going to raves and doing drugs. So however old or young you are, don’t let that be the barrier.
Molly is something you can only get from a dealer, unfortunately. There’s a site called RollSafe[1] that seems to have decent information on how to take it safely.
Connecting with people who have taken Molly is easy though. Just come up to them and offer them a friendly hug.
The next best thing to do is talk with people in the scene and find out what they consider a trustworthy source. Any single person trying to offer you pills is a potential scammer or worse, you need to verify from other sources whether they're legit.
There's probably a better than 50% chance you'll get something close enough to what you want regardless, because incentives are aligned with everyone having a good time. But just like everywhere else, bad actors will always exist.
The nice thing if you find something is that it's also sustainable - as in: can do this for the rest of your life - which at least for me is definitely not the case with mdma.
Secondly, since you're presenting this as a portfolio entry, I have some open, honest feedback. I quickly reviewed the repository and there are some pretty major orange-red flags that would dissuade employers from reaching out. Some of them include:
- Lack of coherent repository structure. All files under src/ with no sense of modularity
- The commit messages are very poor. Messages like "cool" and "jump jump" and "perf" do not provide any context to anyone outside of yourself (and probably not even you will remember what those changes were days/weeks from now)
- There are magic numbers everywhere. The biggest offender I found was in shaders.ts
There are more but those are the top ones I saw from my quick review. Again this isn't meant to discourage you. I wanted to provide the feedback to help you be more successful with potential employers. Cheers!
It see some mixamo references. How are you playing animations? Is it optimized in any way for that many characters?
Here's a couple of videos of the project if anybody is interested in carrying this further, please let me know thanks.

I think that scene is overrun with influencer types and various types of recreational substance use. Maybe I'm wrong.
Bookmarking for background while I do other things!
"Influencer types" are new; social media has been corrosive even to this scene as well. A number of clubs in the UK and elsewhere are implementing no-phones policies as a result, so you can dodge some of it by picking venues.
Honestly, going to a rave with a dancefloor and cool people is kind of lifechanging. It's kind of the environment that a lot of (most?) dance music is made for. Have a great time!
There’s a sampling bias that occurs if you rely on social media to inform you how rampant “influencing” is - of course shows with more influencers will be the ones that show up in your feed, because they’re the ones with the influencers!

My observation is that we were just bored a lot. It has been a long time since young people have been as bored as we were back then.
Totally different decade, but my 90s high school experience was very similar to the movie Dazed and Confused. It’s odd how similar those experiences were versus what has come with the tech disruption of youth.
These still exist! Look for events promoted as such, or look for smaller local events for the genres you're interested in - the latter might not ban phones, sure, but the vibe is still what you're seeking. Nobody's recording you.
With that said, not everyone lives in locations where these sort of parties are accessible, for some it's multiple hours away and not always doable. I'm happy both exists, but obviously, prefer in-person events myself any day of the week, and if people haven't experienced it before, they definitely should :)
Kind of fun and interesting how the two electronic music scenes are very similar, but things like that remind me how different it is in say Europe than the US, even though the vibes are obviously similar and more or less the same, just way more implicit, not so "Look like this and do that".
It was much easier to get used to this than figure out a custom lefthanded setup.
The progress bar was stuck on 0% for about 2 minutes afterwhich I gave up.
I am on Firefox 151.0.1 (aarch64) and if that helps at all MacOs 26.3 (25D125) if that helps at all.
EDIT: nevermind, now it also loaded in FF
I think it was called vSide.
Same platform of Habbo Hotel but sponsored by Coca-Cola.
One question, not requesting a change, just looking for a "why" type comment; why did you make it so you can change the progress of the videos playing?
Reason I ask is, seems to be it would be more immersive/mmo-y, if everyone was experiencing the same thing as the same time.
Thanks!
- make the controls work like a typical FPS (i.e. WASD controls should not rotate the player but just strafe)
- make spacebar jump, and a different key to talk, like T
- make the jump work like a platformer where you start falling as soon as you release the button. so people can make small hops to the beat
- stop dancing after a few seconds of inactivity
2) Maybe
3) Maybe
4) Everybody dancing forever is crucial for the feeling. You don't stop dancing in a rave. If you want that you sit down or change to standing motion.
Just though I drop by and say it, because nobody seems to notice.
The dance moves are great
These "we lock the DJ in a restroom" videos where everywhere around 2020.

But imho, the truest club experience is the short game SLAVE OF GOD by Increpare:
DJs will often do live mixing as well, it’s not just pressing play on pre-recorded sets, while wearing their VR gear. Recently an event was fully synchronized between an RL version and VR version, complete with integrated lighting setup (the same DMX signals were controlling both RL event space and VR world lighting simultaneously).
Every weekend there’s dozens of huge rave/DJ events going on 24 hours a day mostly be EU and US organizers, although Japan goes hard too (their virtual cons are mind-boggling huge and have major corporate sponsors).

Please add a reset( but I want to keep my hair style) button
Good idea though
