    I .. don't get it. (And don't want to sign up to find out) What am I looking at? People raving online? (Or letting their avatars do it) But there are real people mixed in, so those are the real DJ's?

      It's ('is/was) amazing! On launch date I've spent good couple of hours there. The execution is magnificent. Realtime rave in minecraft-like world. Somehow this needs business model to keep it actually alive and well.

        Ok, trying it out now from my PC. Nice, one can even go into second dancefloors, in a tent (with youtube that I can influence) but there movement could be polished. But I like the idea.

      It's a VR world recreation of a rave party. There is no signup, just a nickname.

    I've tried this a couple of times but it doesn't work for me, probably because I'm not willing to let Google follow me everywhere on the web. It looks like YouTube is required for music and won't start without it.

    Instead of using giant Opus files that require you to rely on Google to make your site affordably hosted, how about using the "tracker" technology of yore? It let folks enjoy downloaded electronic music back in the dialup era. Formats include MOD, XM, IT and S3M and there are a bunch of semi-abandoned JS implementations.

    Nice dance moves :) For some reason took me back to some of the underground berlin raves I visited when I lived there . . . I miss those days

      It's inspired by Berlin spaces and raves yeah! The music is also from HÖR Berlin.

    Who needs Berghain, the loading bar is much shorter and with less uncertainty at the end (a bit when it gets stuck at 93% briefly though :D)
