| listings | |
| Dale's London Events | Indispensable guide to trance and techno events in London. |
| Access All Areas | Excellent London party listings page. |
| Bassdove | Party listings for across the UK and Europe. |
| Partyvibe | Not the first port of call, but an eclectic range of parties. Good on Reading and the USA. |
| Tranceculture | Another eclectic list, this time specialising in psy-trance parties. |
| Thames Valley Events | Listings of non-mainstream events in Reading and Oxford, plus a few further afield. |
| Bristol Ravers Calendar | Thorough guide to events in Bristol and the surrounding areas in a very useable monthly calendar format - part of the Bristol Ravers Directory. |
| Otherworld | Still developing addition to the Otherworld site. Trance & techno events in and out of London. |
| Manchester Techno Events | What it says, techno events in Manchester. |
| Krass | Listing of techno events in London. |
| Nuroptics Trance Events | Irritatingly structured (one date per page!) events listing from the irritatingly structured Nuroptics site. |
| mi5.uk.com | Party, festival and protest listings |
| Guilfin | Events listing on the Guilfin site. |
| Ewaves | UK events (and links to other dance music sites). |
| United States of Hardcore | Happy hardcore and rave events listing. |
| Hardcore Events | Guide to hardcore, happy or otherwise, in the UK plus some in Europe. |
| venues | |
| Access All Areas | Very useful guide to London venues. The Access All Areas stall can be found at many parties so their venue knowledge is impeccable. |
| Dale's London Events | Addresses of most clubs and clubbing venues in London, with user-friendliness comments on a small percentage and a link to Multimap where the postcode is known. |
| mi5.uk.com | Extensive venue list - has the useful feature of showing upcoming events at the selected venue. |
| London Clubs A-Z | Addresses of clubs in London. |
| Streetmap | The best way to find how to get to that out of the way back street in Hackney. |
| Multimap | The alternative. |

| record shops | |
| Central London record shops | Comprehensive list of dance music outlets in and around Central London. |
| Rotator Locator - UK | Listing of shops around the UK. |
| Motion | Nicely implemented worldwide record shop finder, though how useful it is is debatable. |
| Offitsface | Directory of UK dance record shops, with links to their websites where available. |
| online record shops | |
| Moremusic | Very thorough directory of online record sources, with links to their sites and a rough guide to the area of specialisation. |
| Juno | Excellent online dance record shop, And now the catalogue is searchable! |
| recordstore.co.uk | A site handling online secure purchasing of records for a variety of UK trance and techno labels. |
| Hard To Find Records | Online catalogue and ordering of, erm, hard to find records. They have a poor reputation for reliability amongst the online community. |
| Klik Klik Whirly Beep Beep | Brighton-based record shop selling hardhouse, techno, trance, nunrg - good stuff in other words. Secure online ordering. They lose massive credibility (in my humble opinion) for having a website that refuses you entry if you're not using a version 4 or above browser. |
| Chaos Unlimited | Specialists in trance (especially psy-trance) and techno. Now has secure online ordering. Based in Brighton. |
| Choci's Chewns | A hugely fun shop to visit, the website also offers online (but not secure) ordering from the Choci family of labels and they'll even burn a 10-track CD of your favourite selections. |
| Kinetec | One of the best record shops in London for new releases and white labels. The website now offers listings of new releases and ordering via secure email. They also sell clothing and DJ equipment. |

| metalinks | |
| Dance Music Resources links | Huge list of links on the Dance Music Resource Pages at Juno. |
| Psychedlic Mind Expander links | Mostly psy-trance links (as you'd probably guessed). |
| DJ Rhythms | Searchable database of dance-related links. The site you're looking for is probably somewhere in here. |
| Record labels | Huge list of links to record labels around the world. |
| House Nation | Sometimes useful list of links to label, artist and club sites. |
| Amazing Discographies | Quite amazing it is too - discographies of over 300 techno labels. It gets a mention here because there's a link to each label's website, assuming there is one. Extra brownie points for the Site In A Box idea - a zipfile of the whole site which you can download and browse at your leisure. |
| KlikKlik links | Good UK based dance links site, from the hand of DJ Kristian. |
| TRiP links | Again, mostly psy-trance. There seems to be much more of an urge to collect links amongst fans of this genre than any other. |
| TSDN | A site devoted to dance links, very strongly biased towards US sites. |
| Spiral Tribe/Network23 links | Links to sites covering the worldwide free party scene. |
| Urban75 links | Activist resource and links on the excellent Urban75 site. |
| Hyperreal links | Links to music and related sites on Hyperreal. Not that great for UK sites, but pretty good on the US and other parts of the world. |
| ecstasy.org links | Excellent starting point for information on ecstasy and related topics. |
| Ewaves | Links to dance music sites (plus UK events). |
