That noise - tun tun tun- is a blow that settles in the bones.

My idea is that electronic music is a new form of nature.

More ahead I will try to know why this music obtains, with as much success, to appropriate themselves the meat and to leave the brain outside. But that will come later, when it has desire to continue thinking. Now I am in the row. In front of me there is a handful of boys leaving itself to put hand by the police: they abren the knapsack to them, the pockets, the packages of cigarettes. What are looking for? These children carry arms, neither filosos woods, nor objects. They only wear to clothes of colors, glasses of design, ecstasy and amphetamines hidden in almost all the grooves of the body. Days later, the reporters will speak of drugs - three hundred doses of this were seized and that one but now, well kept, the tablets do not get to notice. All happen, and I also. The celebration begins.

The origin of everything is in power. I knew it in the entrance row, when a bare reporter and of inflated muscles took his microphone, approached an official and it asked to him for fourth or fifth time:

-How he is everything!
- Well. Rather well.
-Boys! - the bare one translated to the shouts. Powerrrrrr is everything!

Power is the button able to ignite any machine. And it is, therefore, the best heart than can be found Creamfields him: this celebration, like the Love Parade of Berlin or the Street Parade of Sweden, is one of the majors robots that is parido music for all time. Luis Miguel, Black Sabbath, Placid Domingo: all could survive a light cut. But not them raves: if in the Seventies flower to power it spoke of the power of La Paz, in the 2006 main one power - although the unique one does not seem to be the one of the volts. Creamfields is a small twisted city: here, in a space of one hundred thirty thousand meters squared, there are nine carps of electronic music, nine scenes, than twenty screens standing out more in the sky, businesses of sale of computers and several halls Internet to be connected to all hour.

There are some who say that Woodstock, in its version 21st century, is this.

The boys spend whole days dancing to the jumps, wire drawings in I graze, being sent messages by moving body and taking tablets that allow them to continue jumping. Everything is love and peace, or - said in the language cream- everything is PURE: an abbreviation that means Peace, Unit, Respect and Love, the four ideals that differentiate one rave from all the other types of celebrations. Ravers does not want violence, and is why, sometimes, the festivales donate part of the entrance to the needed ones Tibet, Africa or the Congo. If the hippies had the sign of La Paz, ravers has their own logo: the Cream drawing. A species of helix of three leaves that means friendship, good wave, I love to be happy or strange mother.

It damages has eighteen years and one of those helices tattooed in the lumbar zone. It also has a fianc2e, Pablo, who is painting of fucsia a plume of the hair. He brought the aerosol from his house to be in the service of coiffeur in rave.

- Aerosol to paint walls - it explains Damages, although in fact I believe that it does not want to explain nothing.
-He will not be dangerous? - I ask.
- Mmm - it nor bothers itself in watching to me. The hair of its fianc2e already is fucsia, the air stinks out to querosene, and she smiles. I like.

She damages is like those replicantes of Blade Runner. She has the blond hair violently, the eyes painted of celestial electrical and a girl mouth who, among other things, says that once, she does not much, she danced too much. The episode happened weeks back and would have happened to the forgetfulness of not being because It damages it began to move Friday and finished Monday. Perhaps in means it ate something (nor one remembers), later it went to the school and finally it fell on the writing desk as if she was dead. Oath that slept a day and a half. Oath also that one is the unique form to recover of one rave.

-And you come because there is all a philosophy behind? La Paz, the love, the friendship?
It is the first time that It damages watches to me just a little bit: lengüetazo languid and disgusted. A glance for idiots.
- I come because yes. Because music fits to me.

In Ponche of lysergic acid, a book that narrates the birth of the hippismo in the United States, Tom Wolfe explains that the basic postulate of the movement hippie is not La Paz and the love but the experience with lysergic acid (LSD), a critical moment impossible to take to the universe of the words. The world, sight from the point of view of the LSD, did not have translation: it was the kingdom of “because yes� and “because it fits to me�, and that in the best one of the cases.

The trip with acid was an instance similar to the notion of jouissance of Roland Barthes: a concept - whose more current translation is “orgasmo� - that comes from the psychoanalytic theory and that it alludes to the instance in which the boy catch ons to the chest of his mother and enters fullness state. When the boy leaves the chest, and therefore he enters in the symbolic order of the language and the social relations, that state of grace is lost and been non-recoverable. Or almost.

Those are many that think that the collective drug consumptions are instances search of famous jouissance. And those are many also that maintain that as well as in the Sixties the trips with acid predominated, in the ninety fullness looks for in the electronic celebrations. “The contonea dance rave not from the hip, has left totally the model of genital sexuality by a doubling species polymorphic frenzy�, explains Simon anthropologist Reynolds in its book Generation Ecstasy. Into the World of Techno and Rave Culture [Generation ecstasy. In the world of tecno and the culture rave]. And it continues: “Also, it is regressive: from the infantilism of great successes of ravers comes there that absorb piruletas or chew chewing-gum�.
Rave is quite easy to arrive at famous jouissance in one: on the one hand, in these celebrations there is a sincopado dance and without letter that strikes one hundred fifty bits per minute and that it does not invite to think but to move. And on the other, there are many drugs. If in the Sixties the ecstasy were mainly reached through LSD (but also with silocibina, mescaline, peyote, IT-290, Ditran, seeds of dondiego by day, DMT, speed to raise and marijuana to lower) now the subject he is simpler: the ecstasy is reached mainly with ecstasy, a design drug - they metilen dioxianfetamina- whose essential oil is extracted of the tree of sasafra and that is sold in tablets that also include other compounds. The final effect is an intense sensation of well-being, desire to yes embrace to the world because, a state that - if we remembered how it was could be looked in something like jouissance of Freud, Barthes and all the theoreticians who come behind.
