It's becoming pretty common to know a few amateur DJs / music creators and if you have some decent speakers they happily mix for a part of the night. When they're done it's back to DJ ipod.
There is also plenty of raves where I live. I feel the atmosphere is much more enjoyable there than in night clubs
There was a real startup-like scene around this in the 90s in Europe. You actually need impressive organisational, networking, and marketing talent to make a warehouse or field rave happen.
The festivals this spawned eventually turned into gigantic multi-stage events with the latest audio, VJ, laser, and other tech.
