My semester in Germany was in a midsized city in Niedersachsen (you've likely heard of it ... guy with a flute drowned the kids a while back) with all of one Disko. It was 1995, and I was 16, so there may have been house parties in town, but my classmates in Gymnasium weren't privy to them.
The music at the Sumpfblume was unremarkable. Basically angry metal.
I went to my first regional burn last year and found my flow state for the first time in decades. I danced my ass off at various house and trance camps, oblivious to the outside world at times, and people started coming up to me because of it. It was an amazing experience that made me feel like a kid again -- if I'd been on that many drugs as a kid!
