Well I was at No Fixed Abode the Week before and I've been to the Whitepost Centre eight times this year and I'll admit it most parties there don't really cut it and NFA much though I loved the music the party was dying on its feet without the crowd, Munt does not have this problem, not even nearly.dwethenual said:
For me more than anything the Free Party is the ideal and no amount of partying in the Whitepost Centre in nice safe friendly parties is going to change that but that aside for a party hovering in the semi legal status that Munt is at the moment that was a fucking great party and I loved every fucking second.
Tbf, I really really loved the couple of TOM parties I went to in late 2004/early 2005. They were absolutely banging, and for me the best 'middle-ground' just on the right side of fluffy - but that could be because a) I was fortunate enough to be with a huge group of people and seeing friendly faces whichever corner I roamed to and b) I'm not one of the crew who has to deal with the any of the shit.
Random aside:I loved the 'lost property' desk on suday morning at this party: 'Anyone wants to collect their switch card, telephone, ...?'
Anyway, I really enjoyed this party and love it being so safe - but despite the fact that I'm a complete scaredy cat I find that people go a bit far sometimes with their criticism of the free party scene at the moment and the supposed hordes of scumbags, or worse, 'chavs', attending - as in 'Oh, some local kids in 'hoodies'
with their dogs have turned up they must be out to mug/kick/rape me.' Gets on my tits it does. I've never seen anything worse at a party than what could have just as easily happened in the Goose, Wood Green, or on Oxford Street in broad daylight for that matter (not that anyone would consider these places ideal party venues, mind!

Great party well done to the munt.
As for this safe partying bolloocks, even you lot calling munt a 'middle ground' are barking up the wrong fucking tree. It is a soundsytem; where it has its parties is irrelevant. What makes a perty dodgy or not is who comes to it. Munt now have a rep for not taking any shit so people looking for a place to fuck about go elsewhere.
The fact that munt are organised and efficent does not make the party i attended on saturday night ANY LESS OF A SQUAT PARTY. I went to a clubnight at the electrowerkz the night before with Malfaiteurs and Stonka, and that was not any less of a squat party despite being fully licensed. No drug searches, no over policing, fucking loud techno and a having it crowd. Most clubs wouldn't let that happen, but this one does. And so does Dukes bar in the city.
Ask yourself why you go to parties if you need parties to be fully illegal. I go for the music and the crowd and the drugs. You can have those anywhere.
Grumblemunta, i didn't know you used words like schadenfraude u closet ponce 
See you at the next one

Never been to a ToM but top post Mr Welf
Sums up exactly why I love the Black Swan dos in Bristol so much. It may be a legit venue but everything about it fits the description of everyone's ideal squat party.
Fuck whether it's legal or illegal, let's just have fun

fucking right. being romantic about the need for a cracked building is like saying you need toliet attendant to spray perfume on u and sell u chewing gum for it to be a night out (e.g. most clubs).
The other arguments like types of music available and the cost of entry are no longer valid; there are plenty of venues that host our music in london, and plenty of established nights (like Chemical Wafare at Mass, woo hoo!). The most extreme music like gabber and doomcore is rarely availiable OUTSIDE of clubs now, an ironic reversal of fortunes. And everything costs a fiver. No party in the last few years has charge the standard £3.
I ;like a mixed market. Best is a sytem where the night is at a club and then we have an afterparty in a warehouse.

Agree with what you say about parties/clubs.
Was at Electrowerkz on Friday too - it was a great party, however there was a bit of an attitude by a couple of the bouncers in the Malfaiteurs room towards the end of the party, one of them had a torch and was checking on what some guy was doing (he was just rolling a ciggarette) and the other was being a jobsworth about people leaving a couple of bags by the fire door and also those of us dancing in that area (we were NOT that near at all and certainly not blocking anything!)

This is not about illegality it is about it being free; free as in thought, this isn't about policing, door searches or the toilet facilities it is about an ideological preference for freedom. Every step away from the ideal of the free party is one I'd rather not take. That didn't stop that being a fucking fantastic party though.Taxamo Welf said:

i agree here, london has moved in terms of good nights of underground music in clubs. That said the Hekate/Prank/Illegal do last sat was a corker. Nowt like Ely Muff's harder than the hardest beatz booming out way past dawn....

For me the differences are the prices, the finishing time and having to hide drug taking from bouncers.
The nearest I've got to that in a place that isn't actually a cracked building are the malfaiteurs parties at Dukes, but the bar prices let them down. Plus some of the bouncers in the Sunday daytime, not that I've actually had any problems with them, they just didn't look like they'd be too easy going.
