Ep. 33 - Chrissy

The Smart Bar resident isn't afraid to name and shame. //  As
product of the Midwest rave scene, Chrissy has seen his share of
sketchiness—from gunplay in Kansas City to troubles on the road in
England with DJ Rashad. He admits that the underground environment
through much of dance music's history can be a beacon for bad
players eager to take advantage of the PLUR. "They were homophobic,
and they were misogynistic and they didn't really like the music.
They were show up to score ecstasy, or meth, realistically," he
says of the crowd the came to many a Midwest party in the 90s. He
goes on to rally against the outlaw elements that encourages bad
business deals and dangerous venues. The latter of which, sadly
took lives in Oakland, including producer Nackt, whose posthumous
release just dropped on Chrissy's Nite Owl Diner label. Chrissy
recalls his friend and shines a light on raving's corrupt
underbelly on this episode of the Rave Curious Podcast.
