Off The Beaten Path

Off The Beaten Path (O.T.B.P.) is the creative offshoot of RaveCave.shop, born from our passion for rave and festival culture and our drive to design unique, original merch in-house. While RaveCave.shop connects the community through secondhand EDM and artist gear, O.T.B.P. is where we channel our own creative vision-crafting apparel and accessories that help you stand out and express your individuality.

But O.T.B.P. is more than just a brand - it’s a tribute to a dear friend and the spirit of the rave community we love. We met Ben "Ben Jammin" Toci in 2019 at an Excision show, and from that night on, he became an irreplaceable part of our lives. Ben was a deep thinker, a bright soul, and someone who was right there with us as we discovered the magic of the EDM scene and festival culture. Together, we experienced our first shows, our first traveling festivals, and grew our little rave fam from five friends to one of the most recognizable groups at every event we attended. Every festival was better with Ben by our side.

In 2021, after his first solo adventure to Electric Forest, we lost Ben to suicide-a loss that changed us forever and one that cannot remain silent. Suicide is an epidemic that must be taken seriously, and we are committed to keeping Ben’s memory alive in the best way we know: by bringing his spirit with us to every event, and by sharing the joy, energy, and kindness he brought to our lives with the entire community.

Off The Beaten Path represents everything Ben stood for-choosing adventure, forging your own way, and never letting the easy path be the only path. Sometimes you have to blaze your own trail and go off the beaten path. We hope to honor Ben by encouraging others to do the same, keeping his memory alive, and making the festival world a brighter, more welcoming place for everyone.
