After scrolling through a vigorous amount of reviews, forums and websites I found an article of 'The Evening Standard' which tells the story of a reporters first hand expeirence at one of London’s more rough Squat parties from an outsiders point of view.

From reading through this we have gathered an idea some of the more important themes with in a realistic squat party. For example, taking drugs is obviously a theme, consequently, this means drugs dealers are also a huge part of the scene.
Another crucial theme of the concept is to feel free from society and feel as one when everyone is partying together. A squat party is the young person’s form of escapism from society’s restrictions and norms.
One of the other reasons that we can see from this article is that legal clubs are restricting the way that parties are run. The laws and rules prevent these type of people from fulfilling there idea of a good night - anything a normal person enjoys such as socialising, drinking and dancing, with the addition of factors such as cannabis, class A, informal dress codes, grafting and obviously the main difference in music.
Which leads us on to the most important difference in the two cultures - taste in music. Squat parties revolve around music genres such as DNB, Jungle, Dubstep and various forms of Trance (pretty much anything which a massive bass line and fast pace). However, the more commercial form of clubber may listen to 'popular culture' music such as RNB, Dance, Commercial Dubstep, and pretty much anything you hear on Capital FM.
These factors are all helping us to shape the form of our opening sequence by including these vital themes and making the opening sequence seem and feel more realistic to portray a solid message about the culture of raving and squat parties.
