DA MED TECHNO ZONE: FREE & TEKNIVAL REPORT

Bologna (I) 20/03/99 METEK - OLSTAD - TMS - TOMAHAWK Report by AaNDRoiD K

Bologna, Italy. Saturday late afternoon.
Inside the huge dismissed CAB area young guyz from whole Europe are workin to set the tekno scene. Turnin the gens on, connectin cables, mountin rack of speakers, lights' structure and livesets; mixin everybody hand-work with mental satisfaction.
Everythin's ready in a few hours: when dark phones start ringin. People want to dance. We can start it.

OlsTad, Metek, TeknoMobileSquad and Tomahawk have played great muzak in a greater role; the contest's been beatiful (even from night TV News "Rai 3 Emilia-Romagna"... they said "Thousands of crazy guys, mixing the free rave party with the coming of Spring Ä...Å", with images taken from 800 mt away (probably hidden by a mirrored window).

People from the whole Italy have come (I've picked up thee girls from Bari with my van, drivin'em to the station. 900 km from Bologna!), and they've been totally satisfacted.

Let's trace a tekno line through European scene.

AaNDRoiD K - a day afterÅ

...It was a big hijack made by POLICE (suck my dick up and down :))) :

In the morning of sunday, when the party goes on, there was a big action of POLICE against the people that are dancing happy.... I wanna inform u about this 'cause i can trust u and i would like that u inform abut this BBBBAAAAADDDDD ATTACK of the POLICE absolutely not indispensable.

I don't know if u're just informed about this and i'd like that u inform other tribes about this....... The people that are dancing when the POLICE pull into the AREA are immediately arrested (the only thing that they are doing was DANCING -it's a bad thing???????i think NOOOOO).

It's strange thing for Italy specially for Bologna but it's happened and i'm so TIRED NOOOW.

Federico.

After information taken from tribes, it seems that the site was not very well choosed by the organizers themselves: near a supermarket and a bank in construction which was devastated by the ravers... The assault of police in the second night was furious : trucks confiscated, windscreens exploded, arrests...
