Frantic Eufuria (FE) is a dance event held several times a year in Bristol, U.K. It is organised by Jasper Foxx and features such DJs as Spirit Raptor, Black Wolf and Swolf. Since the move to a new venue and following a previous experiment the event now hosts a separate dance area for rock and metal music, featuring DJ's such as Tryst, Graafen Blackpaw and Ravell.

[edit] Background

Frantic Eufuria began in 2010 on the back of the success Jasper had with his original 'UKfur Rave'. The decision to change the name was taken in order to help the event appeal to more furs. The creation of a dedicated website created by Ravell helped to boost uptake as did flyers at various furry events.

Originally, the event was based purely around electronic dance, however following feedback at FE2, a decision was taken to run separate rock and metal events held on a separate dates. These events were re-combined following the move to the YHA for FE4, as the venue was capable of hosting both events simultaneously.

[edit] Locations

The event was originally held at the Cavern Club in Bristol, and followed a simple formula where a deposit was paid to the venue and if a set bar tab limit was reached, the deposit was refunded and then used for the next event. All events broke the bar tab.

On 15th May 2011, Jasper Foxx announced a new location had been negotiated for future events at the YHA site in Bristol. As well as providing a larger venue which could host both the electronic and metal events at the same time, a dedicated fursuit changing room, plus improved food and drink facilities, FE was now able to offer accommodation on-site[1].

FE5 expanded Frantic Eufuria to include several daytime events, including a fursuit walk, gaming and a scavenger hunt over the weekend. Following feedback, the organisers decided that FE had moved away from the original concept of a furry dance event, and had almost become a mini convention - something which the organisers decided was not in keeping with what they originally envisioned. On April 10, 2012, Jasper Foxx announced that FE5 would be the last Frantic Eufuria at the YHA, a new location would be sought in a suitable nightclub/bar, and FE would return to its roots as a furry dance event, though they would try and bargain for discounted accommodation locally for furs wishing to stay overnight. In addition, due to poor attendance, the Rock/Metal sets would be discontinued.[2]
