==Regional scenes==
===United Kingdom===
London in the United Kingdom plays host to "[[free party|free parties]]" (term used by the squat party scene) thrown by an array of sound systems every week. A regular theme is (and always has been) tekno, although drum & bass, breakbeat, hardcore and psytrance can be common.

In contrast to London, the music played in the south west is generally [[drum and bass]], jungle, jungletek/raggatek, 4x4 and [[hardtek]].
