“You’d see the same faces every week. NASA wasn’t like, say, a rave on Long Island—it transcended raves. I knew I was experiencing one of the best clubs ever.”

— Chloë Sevigny

The whole U.S. rave scene then had such a gentle, celebratory quality to it. It felt so utopian, like we’d created this benign future. Everything was new: the music was new, the fashion was new, and the drugs were kind of new, too.

— Moby
