Benefit parties? It's a way of self-funding that you didn't invent yourselves...
We perfectly agree. Just as we didn't invent electronic music, strobo lights and subwoofers! Actually any creative act, including partymaking, is about putting together some already used elements and giving them a new configuration. The concept of 'benefit party' itself is so generic that it can refer to very different situations...ranging from a punk concert to a cabaret, to the kind of events we propose, focused on electronic music and disco esthetics. In any case, we are not funding our collective with benefit parties: party incomes are generally given to someone else. We do self-funding by other means.
