Salman Jaberi embodies the idea that if you need something done, the best thing is to do it yourself. He's a self-starter. As the founder of Rave Scout Cookies, a plucky but growing multimedia platform about rave culture, he's become a de facto spokesperson for community, mutual aid and harm reduction in dance music. These are topics that have only become more important in the wake of the pandemic, as people from all levels of nightlife find themselves adrift, often without income or support. Jaberi does Rave Scout—which encompasses online mixes, handbooks, merchandise sales for fundraising and, soon, a social networking app—because he cares about those actively engaging with dance music, and wants everyone connected by this passion to be able to care for each other properly. Over a phone call from his apartment in Brooklyn, Jaberi told me about his feelings about what "community" really means, where dance music needs to improve in terms of harm reduction and what the future might hold after the pandemic is under control.
