THE DOSE is here.THE DOSE comes from Budapest and it’s asmuch of a Hungarian project as it wants to beinternational, tapping resources from Londonthrough Chicago to Tokyo, stirring up minds,giving a kick of inspiration to the needy.Let me tell you what I believe in. I believe in the youthful vigorof inspiration, the sudden rush of motivation, the adrenalinefreight train. A strong dependency for this freight train wasdrilled into many of us, into members of a wired generation,who sucked all info out of satellite TV channels and the firstwaves of the World Wide Web, wrote music with trackers andtired their eyes with demoscene products and technoeyecandy. We did all this and thought that the world was ours.We feel this rush every now and then. This rush is called “Thisis Quality”, “This stays with us”. So did Ong-Bak, Haujobb,Advent Children, The Birthday Massacre, Limp Ninja, Guild Warsand many other motifs of today’s tech-junkie teenager life.We show all these to you, to show you that we were here.We plan to continue this zine on a regular basis, probably fourtimes a year. Expect no less. Expect more pages. We do thisproject more seriously than we should together with ld50.hu.We own the biggest Hungarian alternative portal that has7000 unique visitors a day, WAP support, the most compre-hensive party database and what is the definitve meetpoint foralternative youngsters from Cyberpunks to Goths, Rivetheadsand Psytrancers and all their kin. This is a completely non-profit project and we’ve been doing this for four years. We alsohave no intention of stopping, either. So we come to you and ask you to read us. Tell us what youthink. Give comments. Opinions. Helpful contacts. Helpfulequipment. Good articles, good info, good intel. Cooperation.Anything that can make things better.Read a lot. Not just THE DOSE. Do martial arts. Don’t hesitatemuch. Have lots of sex. See what’s around you. We mean it.
