Storm Rave

rave1991–1992No fixed home · roving

Frankie Bones's series of illegal Brooklyn warehouse and brickyard raves, widely credited with importing UK acid-house rave culture to the US East Coast. The first ran May 1991 in a Flatbush brickyard; debuts by Richie Hawtin, Sven Väth and Doc Martin followed, and the parties ended after a December 1992 blizzard. The origin point of the 'PLUR' (Peace, Love, Unity, Respect) ethos, traced to Bones breaking up a fight from the decks.
