Just want to give shouts out to all my friends in StreetBeatz!!!!!

For those of you new to the list, let me give you a quick history.
StreetBeatz webzine and events mailing list was created about three years
ago in southern Ontario to bring together Christians in the underground
dance culture, and to raise awareness about the new scene that was starting
to form... DJs and promoters began to work together in different cities to
throw events with the goal to reach out to ravers and the club crowd... the
idea was to throw drug free parties with positive atmospheres where people
could come together and enjoy themselves, listening to the music they loved,
without the worldly mentality of clubs and raves... without the alcohol and
drug abuse, "the meat market" mentality, and violence in the secular
scene... Christians wanted to reach out with the lifechanging power that had
transformed their own lives, stemming from their faith in God... and to make
an impact on the rave and club scenes locally...

It was not long until StreetBeatz grew to include the northeastern USA and
central Canada.

Recently Steve Crabb and Stacey Gray have come on board StreetBeatz...
Stacey is my sister and Steve is an underground DJ from PA, about an hour
from New York City. They have already stepped up the pace of StreetBeatz
and are about to take it up to the next level... from now on you will mostly
hear from Stacey and Steve, but I will still be here and you can reach me at
genesynthesis@... .

Prayer Love Unity Revival...

Hey Everyone.....Steve here,

I just wanted to offically introduce myself and welcome the newest
members to our mailing list. We have a lot of ideas for what we're
going to do with Streetbeatz soon, and the main one is to
completely overhaul the site (http://streetbeatz.net), and add a bunch of
interesting new features.

Stacey and I plan on turning StreetBeatz into a full-fledged
web-zine. Some changes to the existing format may include a lot
more in the way of interviews and pictorials, as well as posting
articles written by both Streetbeatz staff and those members who are willing
to submit creative material to us. We'd like to seriously increase the
awareness of who we have working with us in the scene and what we can do to
help.

We're also going to continue to step up the event and party updates
including everything from house parties and club nights to full out
raves. The Christian scene in the Northeast/Central Atlantic
United States and Ontario is still extremely small, but its starting to
grow quickly. Organization is needed to get things moving in the
right direction.

We have a large group of talented djs and producers working in the
area, as well as promoters, club owners, radio personalities, and
sound/lighting techs. The majority of these people are represented
in one way or another through Streetbeatz. Given some time,
prayer, and hard work, this scene is going to seriously blow up.
The opportunities for outreach are already countless.

Many people can feel that the Lord is moving strongly in the
clubs and raves right now, and most of you out there are on the
front lines. I'd like to offer the support of the staff at the new
Streetbeatz ezine in any way that we can. If you have any
questions, comments, ideas for what you'd like to see on StreetBeatz, or
prayer requests, feel free to contact us at anytime. Shana will still be
kicking around and providing guidance and input to us as we seek God in
taking StreetBeatz up a level content-wise and professionally.


Steve Crabb (seeker720@...) and
Stacey Gray (zh4r@...)

Thanks and God Bless,
Steve
