And Jessie... well, she figured out the truth about why we're here on this planet.

Some guy LAID INTO Lara on Tinder for having 'raving' in her profile as a "36 year old woman". You can bet we have a thing or two to say about that. Jessie's on another rampage lol.

Also, we both expose each other's CRINGE moments from a night out last year. We'll let you be the judge of who is more embarrassing.

And we get into...

• Phones in clubs
• Hoarding digital memories and the dread of NO STORAGE
• Lara's night out at Phonox, Brixton (and an unfortunate twist)
• How dib dab probably caused a LARGE percentage of grown up powder addicts

Enjoy and please leave us a comment to let us know what you thought❤️

So we finally went OUT OUT together - the first time in too long - and checked out the newly-renovated Ministry of Sound club for Select Radio's summer party.

Listen to find out how Lara COVERED a bride-to-be in rose wine, some weeeeird interactions from the dancefloor and how the night came to an abrupt end.

But the real meat of this episode is Jessie on a RAMPAGE about Oasis (feat. another of her classic renditions).

We discuss the excessive ticket prices, global mania and more...

Enjoy

We're joined by DJ, radio host, and founder of event brand, House Party, Meera.

A lifelong raver, Meera honed her skills on vinyl in the early 2000s, went on to work on BBC radio shows, and then a few babies and career changes later…

...Meera is back on the scene, running her own nights, presenting on Select Radio, playing lineups across London and beyond.

Meera is here spilling the UNFILTERED JUICE on getting back in the booth, and balancing kids and comedowns in your 40s.

We dip our toes into...

• How to do an Ibiza bender in your forties, & getting STRANDED in Ibiza (how awful)
• Are the afters all they're cracked up to be?
• Being a vinyl DJ when digital first came about
• Working with Mary Anne Hobbs on Radio 1 in the 2000s when dubstep first broke through
• Blast from the raving past: Peach at Camden Palace - hard trance & high-vis heaven
• Manchester rave scene in the early 2000s - #SANKEYS... lest we forget
• Booze vs. bits on a night out
• When edibles go south
• A-Z maps and illegal rave voicemail days
• How "a packet of crisps 'n' get back on it" was a legitimate recovery strategy back then

And more, OBV. Let's goooooo.

Enjoy, J&L

Ok here's the TEA on this year's Field Day festival, a one-dayer in Brockwell Park, London 💃🎪 Some weird sh1t went down 🤣

...YES, THE Brockwell Park the local Kazzas wanna shut down events at, as we discussed in last episode ❌

We talk overcrowding at festivals, and how Glastonbury's Emily Eavis has claimed they've sold "a few thousand" fewer tickets this year

Also, Lara gives an update on life as a tour leader... And all the Moaning Myrtles that come with it 🫠

AND Jessie claims to have seen THE NEW COLOUR Oro 😵

Thanks for your messages asking us for an update. It motivated us to record literally the day after Lara got back off tour. We love you guys 🫶

We're back with a TOPICAL episode because shiz has been going DOWN in the day rave scene, what with all the Karens Karenning around Brockwell Park in London (local residents trying to shut events down), and DJs pulling out of festivals like Field Day.

We get into all the drama, plus we talk about the pros and cons of DAY RAVING and day festivals.

On one side, Sunday might not be totally written off (depending on your willpower).

On the other... you feel like you're doing the walk of shame at 10pm when you're messy AF and the general public are just heading out

Hey CTR fam, it's a whole new format this week as we're unpacking themes from a voice note sent in by one of our listeners (spoiler alert... he's kinda vexed).

Off the back of it, we debate rave & life etiquette....spraying champagne, DJs on the pull... dancefloor therapy sessions...

AND our thoughts on... flashy watches, cigars and cringe cars.... wdyt, sick or ick?

Also, how do you push through a crowd? We share our tekkers.

All pointing to the theme of the week... what makes a GOOD raver?! Do you agree with where we land with it?

Let us know what you think defines a proper raver by leaving a comment or sending us a DM at instagram.com/cravetheravepodcast

This week, we're joined by jokingly self-proclaimed "professional scumbag", David Hillier.

David is a freelance writer and journalist who specialises in drugs, particularly UK drug culture. He's published in The Guardian, VICE, Mixmag, The Telegraph and Playboy, and has spent a lot of time doing in-the-field research...

You may have seen we were featured in an article he wrote recently asking "is the sesh catching up with millenials?" (read it here:https://mixmag.net/feature/the-sesh-millenials-gen-z-drugs-cocaine-mdma-ecstasy-investigation) so who better to join us on the pod...

...but of course,in true CTR style, what we really wanted was the dirt on his own sesh life and messiest moments. And he didn't disappoint 👀

• We discuss the most SHOCKING tattoos we've ever seen, including a giant penis and outrageous muff quotes
• David shares a trippy first date story and his literal messiest moment 💩
• David adds to our raving myths. We HOPE this one is a myth 🐖
• Turns out David ALSO had a VERY cringe emo email address back in the day, which disgusted a woman at the school job fair
• We come together on a theory on why men love cocaine
• How David nearly turned to his local priest on his worst comedown
• How Monday tricks you into thinking the weekend hasn't hit you hard
• The truth behind where the term "the sesh" came from (it's not what you'd expect)
• And we get a couple great wisdom tips from a seasoned drug professional...

Follow @dhillierwrites - and watch this space as he's currently writing a book about UK drug culture.

As always, please share with you mates & rate the podcast if you love it and feel called! Your support means so much to us. We're atinstagram.com/cravetheravepodcast if you want more BTS bits. Love youz
