So …

“Sandstorm was fucking inescapable in the SoCal rave scene in the late nineties, to the point that it became sort of a joke. Even if you went to an event where you could be reasonably confident that it wouldn't be played (a jungle or gabber event, for instance), you'd still hear some asshole blasting it from his car while you were in line.”

”I heard it being played from art cars twice at Burning Man this year. I'm choosing to believe that the perpetrators were doing so ironically, because the alternative is to despise/pity them.“

Thanks for this. I had a friend who used to dance to it at parties. We would then all take turns ding the same. But this was in like... 2009.

I don't think he was in the SoCal rave scene, but he was a huge gearhead. Big fan of his "vee dub".

(I never could grok anything mechanical, and never really had stable housing, so I turned into a weird little cyberpunk so I could keep everything on a laptop or hard drive I carry with me)
