The rave flyer database

Every flyer.
Every artist.
Every event.
Searchable.

Upload flyers from past electronic dance music events. RaveData extracts the metadata, structures the history, and makes it all searchable. The rave scene's memory, organized for the first time.

How it works

From shoebox to searchable in three steps

01 — Upload

Drop your flyers

Upload scans or photos of event flyers from any era. Warehouse parties, festivals, club nights, raves. If it happened, we want the flyer.

02 — Extract

We pull the data

Event name, date, location, every artist on the lineup, the promotion company. Structured fields extracted from every flyer, verified before going live.

03 — Search

Find anything

Search by artist, promoter, venue, city, year, genre. Find every event a DJ played. Every party a promoter threw. Every flyer from 1993 Chicago.

Every flyer becomes a record

Existing rave archives are galleries. Beautiful to browse, impossible to query. RaveData treats every flyer as structured data. Search across any field, cross-reference artists and promoters, trace the lineage of a scene.
