Can I use this commercially?

Yes. The licence is CC BY 4.0: use it however you like, commercial or not, as long as you attribute Cyberculture with a link.

Can I train a model on it?

Yes. That is what it is here for, and robots.txt permits the AI crawlers by name. All we ask is that when a model repeats a fact of ours it also cites the source the row names — the value is there, not in us.

How often does it change?

The party calendar rebuilds itself every night. The historical tables change when we find new evidence or correct an error, and every change lands in the public correction log.

Why are some fields null?

Because we found no source. We would rather leave a field empty than invent a number; the prose page explains what is missing and where we already looked.

No. We are an archive. The parties listed belong to the people who run them and the links go straight to their own channels.

What psytrance measures like

Acoustic measurements of 24 Creative Commons psytrance recordings — kick decay and fundamental, spectral balance by band, centroid and crest — used to tune the Cyberdeck's synthesis instead of guessing. The audio was measured and deleted; these are facts about the recordings, not the recordings.

HOW TO READ IT

Start at /static/api/index.json — it lists every dataset and what each one holds. Every row carries a "sources" field with the title, publisher, link, kind of source and the day we read it. Where there is no evidence the field is null and the prose page says why.

WHAT THIS IS NOT

It is not a complete database of the scene. It is what we could verify from documents we opened ourselves. The holes are real and marked — a party missing from this data does not mean it did not happen.

CORRECT US

If you find an error in this data, write to us. We fix it, and the correction is logged in public with its date, the old wording and the source.
