  • You can interpret it the way you want, and that’s cool. However, it is definitely genuine, it is just portraying a reality, and pushing it too far, cause it’s a viral after all, and because those people partying while others were dying didn’t feel that something was wrong (i hope they would watch this video). And again, there were no parties at The Basement during the war.

  • The idea from this video, is not to specifically say that this is happening during the war, and at the basement, or this is a general situation during the war…

    But mostly to point out both the negative and positive sides of our mess: some people party and don’t care about what’s happening around them OR no matter what happens, and every time they bring us down, we decide to continue and we chose life.

  • A little historical overview: during the war, when a lot of people were partying, the basement kept its doors shut (because we thought it was unethical to resume activity) and the crew was working on fundraising activities (mostly with Mowatinun, an organization whose aim what to provide daily food for the refugees), even after the war, the basement was organizing events in Europe for the red cross (and gathered more than 30,000 Euros).

  • Hello All,

    The is a viral, and the purpose of the viral is to shock.

    Please note that this isn’t meant to promote the club that’s why it stayed online only, and there are so many other way to promote the basement than this one.

  • name of the track please ?
