Ravers aim to show the racists where to go at the Students’ Union Sub Club in Luton this month.
The event is being held in conjunction with the local branch of the national charity Love Music, Hate Racism who have previously staged major charity events in the town.
It is the brainchild of Richard Howitt, a second year Creative Writing student at the University, who is also a professional DJ under the pseudonym Deejay Bone-Saw.
Richard said: “Hopefully this will be the first of many nights like this. Our aim is to counteract the activities of political movements such as the British National Party (BNP) and the National Front (NF) through the unifying powers of music.
“The event is in response to what has happened locally and we just want people to come together and enjoy the music.”
The Old-Skool versus Nu-Skool Rave on Friday, 19 February, will see Richard among half a dozen DJs each playing one-hour sets of Acid House, Techno, UK Hardcore, Jungle, Drum ‘n’ Bass and Dubstep.
Others to play are Timeless, Kza and Taki, Ryan Wreckup, Little Craig and Riggadon, all using the impressive ‘Liberation sound system’.
It is an open mic event so all MCs are welcome. Taking place at the Sub Club of the Students’ Union in Vicarage Street, it is £3 for students and £5 for non-students (pay on the door only) and is on from 9pm-3am.
Half of all the profits are being donated to Love Music, Hate Racism.
For further details, or if you are a student photographer who could cover the event and gain some much-needed work experience, call Richard on 07943 254427 or email lutonlovemusic@live.co.uk
