"Writing on Raving is a compendium of the series’s best contributions: some from writers who rave, others from ravers who write. And like a continuous mix, its stories operate together with techno logic, in a looping variation on themes: the counterpoint of labor and leisure; real subversion, even criminality, and the lack thereof; the tradition of secrecy and the necessity of an archive, which itself begets surveillance; ghost stories with varying degrees of metaphor and literalism.
The easy sheen of unity – in written rave or rave, written – belies the good door, the good DJ, the good editors that begot it."
