How do you start a rave in Ethiopia? Well first you need to build up your playlist, a lot of popular / rave music is important to get the crowd going! Then, you need to find a venue, stadiums can be quite good etc. You ideally need a DJ, or even your own iPad and a couple speakers if it's a smaller setup Then, of course, to get the crowd going on the big night, you need to staple food to the ceiling.
