Permission

Underground collective building the future of rave culture. No gatekeepers. No middlemen. Direct to the dancefloor.

We don't wait for permission.We build our own platforms.We pay artists directly.We own our culture.

Built On Decades of Underground Culture

1988
Acid House
The second summer of love. Warehouse parties, smiley faces, and a movement born in abandoned spaces.
1992
Jungle Emerges
Breakbeats meet bass. Pirates on the airwaves. Sound systems in every borough.
1994
Criminal Justice Act
They tried to stop the music. "Repetitive beats" became illegal. We kept going.
2000s
Superclubs Rise & Fall
The scene went commercial, then underground again. The real ones never left.
2020
Pandemic Silence
Clubs closed. Artists struggled. The industry showed its fragility.
2024
Onchain Renaissance
New tools, same spirit. Direct payments, community ownership, no middlemen.

The DIY Network

Four pillars. One mission. Build the infrastructure so the culture controls itself.

๐Ÿ”Š

Soundsystem Culture

From free parties to festival main stages. We bring the bass, the rigs, and the energy that started in warehouses and fields.

  • Free Party Roots
  • Festival Grade Systems
  • Mobile Rigs
  • DIY Repairs
๐ŸŽง

Artist Network

Direct bookings, no agents skimming 20%. Our roster is built on trust, not contracts. Underground to headline โ€” same respect.

  • Direct Bookings
  • Fair Pay Always
  • Emerging Talent
  • Legends of the Scene

Onchain Infrastructure

baseFM, crew payouts, NFT tickets โ€” we're building the tools so the next generation doesn't need the old gatekeepers.

  • baseFM Radio
  • Instant Payouts
  • Ticket Ownership
  • Community Treasury
๐Ÿค

Collective Power

Not an agency. A network. Promoters, artists, crews, ravers โ€” all plugged into the same mission. We rise together.

  • Crew Network
  • Knowledge Sharing
  • Resource Pooling
  • Mutual Support

How We Move Different

The old model is broken. These are our operating principles.

๐Ÿšช

No Gatekeepers

The old industry kept artists waiting for approval. We build direct connections. Your music, your audience, your money.

๐Ÿ’ฐ

Fair Pay, Fast Pay

Artists get paid the night of the gig, direct to wallet. No 90-day invoices. No "exposure" offers. Respect.

๐Ÿ”“

Open Source Everything

Our code is public. Our methods are shared. If another crew wants to build something better, good โ€” we all benefit.

๐Ÿ‘ฅ

Community First

Every decision passes one test: does this serve the dancefloor? If it only serves shareholders, it's not for us.

The Crew

Not employees. Family. A decentralised network of people who give a shit.

"The history of rave is the history of people creating spaces outside the system. We're not nostalgic โ€” we're building the next chapter."
