Beginning with an exploration of the influence of POC and LGBT+ communities in the rave scene, the text moves through harm reduction advice, recommended reading and listening, and a collection of archival flyers.

The handbook also features interviews with artists and collectives including ALKHEMY, Por Detroit, Ariel Zetina, and Justin Cudmore.

“There’s something for everybody: mystic, skeptic, historian, futurist, and ravers alike,” shares Rave Scout Cookies.
