ABOUT
RAVERS UNITED
Uniting all ravers
Ravers United is a Portland-based company built around one idea: uniting all ravers. It brings the community together through underground parties, livestreams, giveaways, and merch — and it is building toward monthly entertainment events, so the dance floor has a regular home instead of a one-off night.
Ravers United is community-first, always. The ethos behind every event, stream, and drop is simple: LOVE. RESPECT. TRUST.
Meet ThatPart
Behind Ravers United is ThatPart — the stage name of founder Teddy Gains. Florida-born and now Portland-based, he is a DJ, event producer, and storyteller whose roots in electronic music go back to the late 1990s. He brings more than 25 years in electronic music, nightlife, and event production to the company, including seven years co-running after-hours events and pop-ups in Orlando before making the move west.
The sound
ThatPart plays open-format underground bass: heavy low-end, crowd-pleasing edits, hip-hop cuts, and melodic journeys. In his own words, the sound cuts through barriers, invokes emotions, and connects everyone on a music journey of bass.
Handmade, not mass-made: the merch
Jewelry making is the passion that fueled the merchandise side of Ravers United. It starts with Kandi Bling, the handmade beaded-necklace line — every necklace strung by hand, bead by bead — alongside the Ravers United and Tokers United clothing lines. LED gloves, flow toys, and other artistic merchandise are planned next, so the merch grows the same way the events do: made by a raver, for ravers.
On stage
Recent Ravers United and ThatPart dates include Darc Disco Halloween (October 30, 2026) and Exist Festival PDX 2026 (September 26, 2026), with a West Coast debut as a scheduled performer at Wook Canyon Festival. Portland rooms played along the way include Studio 722, Rainbow City, Barrel Room, and Triple Nickel.
