"The first issue of the Rave Scout Cookies Handbook is rich in stories you can share with your fellow ravers around a campfire, at your favourite afters, or packed tight in a bathroom stall.
With a little help from literary scholars, the handbook will take you to the roots of the source and explore the pivotal role of Queer and POC communities in the creation of dance music. You’ll learn how to rave a little safer with the Harm Reduction Guide that we curated with DanceSafe National. Get a glimpse of the lives and journeys of some of our favourite artists, including Ariel Zetina, Justin Cudmore, and Jeffery Sfire.
Access the more vulnerable side of NYC’s underground queer community through the perspectives of it’s local co-ravers. Learn more about ALKHEMY and Por Detroit, two collectives doing their part in bringing the underground rave scene back to its original POC and Queer roots on an international scale. Enjoy some visual stim of an archival section of historical rave flyers and turn to the cosmos to understand the astrological machinations behind the success of some of our favourite rave collectives." -Printed Matter
