jobber grew up with classical music she then started janse these days she's making techno. music that i release is always has a story and a concept behind it depends on the message that i want to give and my state of mind at that point. album beyond borders opens with a track alice i know i'm in for one ahau march to balance club scene and music. in the course of time you. can challenge me on. that kind of openness tolerance and freedom was new for new york who grew up in lebanon and the words of a left behind in 2 really mean
10:33 pm
a lot for me because. this is what techno gave me when i when i 1st came here and when i 1st discovered it at a very high and the parties around i just felt that there was no more borders and it was really at a moment. that was nearly 10 years ago these days good d.j.'s had venues all over the world including in berlin is legendary club because. she moved from beirut to berlin 5 years ago to a new cosmos that she wanted to explore there was really hard. culture major culture shock and where i felt more subtle was when i started party a lot. it took some time to get to get to where i am now to it to become a d.j. and i think also making that move away from home i've grown a lot internally. as her music. which has become
10:34 pm
hard to keep techno. so it's and there in jadick it's steep it's happened on a it's it gives you the president moment feeling so when when you're listening to techno you're fully in the present moment. it's music good strong fast and loud enough to push by. feelings of fear like those left by the 2006 that been on the wall. while i was in beirut i didn't have time to think about these things because i was more on survival mode but then when you come to a place where you feel like comfortable and safe then these traumas start coming out the music that i was making and i let it out and in a way i felt like when i made this it it's it was releasing this kind of trauma so
10:35 pm
it was healing me somehow. dance for love was the slogan of a youth movement that began at the end of the 1980 s. in berlin. by 2000 the love parade was a mega event and made music history. this couple launched the love parade 30 years ago it was registered as a political demonstration the march route ran along former west berlin's famous shopping boulevard the dumb which is ruing alias dr martin and his girlfriend back . to look back on the 1st event on july 1st 1989. the 1st everyone was scattered about those 20 people and started out just what is right here we didn't have an event management we just said hey let's do some. and pumped
10:36 pm
up the generators. and the people on the sidewalks they just stood there with their mouths agape that's what marcia was hoping for people stopping with their shopping bags thinking what is going on. the dancers had slogans like peace joy and harmony peace on earth or a one world one future they were calling for a better more tolerant world. to celebrate the love parades 30th birthday a multimedia exhibition in berlin tells the story of how a cult event turbocharged the techno movement in the german capital. and how brought the club scene on to the streets after the fall of the berlin wall in 1989 . it was all about borders and self discovery fulfillment you're inspired by an idea and simply go for it when we register the demo i thought we don't have to proclaim
10:37 pm
what we're against we need to demonstrate. what we stand for. and that's pretty much what we did with the left. out with our music make euphoria. the love for it came to be symbolic for berlin after reunification hundreds of marchers became ranks of hundreds of thousands until a 1000000 joined in on the huge party all outside and all for free and. the parade was in the perfect place of the perfect time it was a whole generation a scene that started small but then it went on to the street and showed it we are this is our music this could take a look we're demonstrating for what we like. and a new way to deal with technology and we're not afraid of it we use it to make music. on it. back in west
10:38 pm
berlin in the late eighty's dr mark and danielle an artist from the u.s. where the dream couple of a new subculture. they loved acid house electronic sounds from chicago that dr martin played in the. drum. sheens and base synthesizers which were small lightweight and affordable electronic instruments made the new sound possible. to small machines pretty much caused a revolution because we thought hey you can record a cassette at home in your bedroom to start off with and it's fine that was possible. when the techno also propagated that everyone was a cool in comparison to before when it was always about the big rocks so then that aspect wasn't there anymore that's why techno was also politically important to me and that's why it was so attractive for many. nevertheless no one thought
10:39 pm
the trend would become a mass movement. in 1996 the love hurried march from west to east in the center of berlin was it a political demonstration or a street party. starting in 2001 the organizers had to pay for everything themselves including trash removal. a short time later it was curtains for the love parade in berlin. and attempts to establish the techno event in the rural valley ended in disaster in 2010 when $21.00 people were killed and hundreds injured in a stampede the tragedy of duisburg brought the love parade to a set. of. the founders want to place an emphasis on the good old days when millions of people went out and raved peacefully in berlin and change the image of the ugly germans by presenting their colorful tolerant
10:40 pm
community. gender politics and skin the techno scene invented it's all milk and feel. that's affected fashion at large airy comfortable and sexy duds to dance away the nights and days. danielle did tollgate this new look at some of its initial impetus she studied music art and fashion in new york city. in 1087 she moved to berlin and began designing fairy tale gowns of cool and lace for the city's underground club an art scene. inspired by the new sound she introduced new materials to her faction in 1989 she exhibited her pop to relist creations at her 1st love with herself in the center. it forces of these women were not wanted to
10:41 pm
work with unconventional material is any way to that so i bought some plastic tablecloths with the kind of wax coatings annoying it would have cost too much to buy new materials so i tried to find things in my surroundings that would different somehow a new and fresh. noyon krrish. with influences from punk designers vivienne westwood and london's absent house scene she based her club outfits on st clair at an unusual ornamentation. the spirit of the time in berlin. is a speech well look this is straight where look is still around it's a look that quite a lot of people who are still going to techno raves or spinning discs. this is how it's become a general life style culture worldwide so you can quit work of one flag of mine. the look has moved from the clubs of the 1990 s.
10:42 pm
to the runways of today. in paris the young gameday hard label shows its collections influenced by techno and berlin's club culture. the labels founders their heart and benjamin who's a b. 1st met on the dance floor initially they called. fashion for the multicultural community in berlin is not like. for us it was all about representing ourselves making our story being seen in fashion we see people and then we sort of fall in love with them and they could be friends they represent someone that we once when we were younger also when we're going to some older does it represent someone we know it's really like it's kind of like feeling like you're it's more like a cost of people of a community and. the factions reflect the many faces of this community different ages ethnicities and genders the 2 fashionistas want to break through the stereotypes they create unisex designs out of sustainable materials made in
10:43 pm
collective production. these factions are not about taking the limelight there's no personality called. the same holds true for the techno scene. came behind us legal forms of any company and i think we wanted to name the brand game behind because we wanted it to. be somehow a roof where we can present a work without being too much in the forefront was also to play with this kind of corporate a static an identity. they navigate the perilous straits between street where and high fashion in just 3 years the label has made an international name for itself where in game is about making a statement against intolerance and xenophobia the founders have had their own experiences with prejudice parents came to germany from turkey benjamin is half an hour region half pakistani. who wanted to kind of learn from that and that's what
10:44 pm
he called it survival strategies because it's very much about. how we are kind of learn from them to sort of figure out ways to survive in a kind of hostile of world and kind of get the strength from that. in berlin they find the space they need to be creative they've already moved far beyond the confines of the club culture. everything. talks about it sounds like we're dealing with very big issues but we always kind of talk about it both in a sort of macro and micro level that is something very personal but also something that is very global or something that anyone can kind of relate to and. it's mainly the clubs that make the city we make to insiders who were in on the phenomenon from the start. michelle fiedler now a d.j.
10:45 pm
in the trendy bedtime club and photographer martin in the 1990 s. he chronicled the spaces for the wall to new subculture but it felt as if you were stumbling through a land of adventure and you didn't every day something changed. a 990 s. felt like a new beginning to me techno had a lot to do with the period after reunification. top of the fall of the wall eastern full of empty lots and buildings abandoned industrial spaces were taken out of the vibrators to dance to the new sound afraid and technology. in 1991 destroys all opened up in a one time department store vault it quickly became the flagship for the new party town and a launching pad for d.j.'s like paul van dyke. went in with his camera. in the wake of a math model the 1st time i was in the trees or i had a black leather jacket on my hair dyed black an oreo the guys there had white
10:46 pm
gloves and bright orange safety vests on and i thought wow this is a completely different world what's going on here at the. table i moved to berlin in 1918 into the techno scene. for about 10 years he focused on the spices the new art and music movements were happening in. the resulting photo series it is called temporary spices these for the simpsons for a wild and lawless subculture of clubs and galleries. the hardware as he calls it he captures the brief moment before the brain starts. right now while what you generally associate with partying or you might call it club culture other people or what they do the dancing on the artificial fog and such but i was
10:47 pm
interested in the spaces it was all happening in i don't think what the housing for this party or i should say this club thing actually looked like. that from that stance of power station is there no temple in front of bedtime we talked to michelle fiedler d.j. the club's resident d.j. and eliminate the last. of the i think it's great that techno has become such a global culture and the bad kind played a big part in that because people could 1st see what it's about and then carry the spirit far and wide to the spirit of tom. michel fiedler and to berlin's techno scene at the age of 18 now in his mid forty's he energizes dance falls from ukraine to colombia with his own tracks. mission to the front and i draw upon the experiences i myself had as
10:48 pm
a raver and i want to generate that very same energy again and again you know it's hard. rosen taluk lacks in downtown. looks back. in america with cornel west. awning on his clothes to many of the spots just topple him in there is there sort of a c.v. located in a squat that's why i had my 1st gigs across the way was the good walk around the corner here to the left was the imam of. the former underground club in a squat it was also immortalized as one of the. temporary spaces i'm kind of walking along here now and looking at the photos you can hardly believe the saying street so much about the city's expressive power has changed they're still. looking back how does that the talking to see. in the ninety's an early double o's now the form of the title that that was a totally fabulous time for me seen from today it was
10:49 pm
a period of my life that was really good even if i feel very little connection to it now. how does fetal see the development of technology. it will be the back of them is still new and fresh and headed in a certain direction from time to time it's been declared dead then it got a bit more established came into the mainstream and now we have a well established nightlife. the euphoria and the ecstasy of the beginning is always up but in berlin the party ever onward. to. its saturday night dead policemen one of the most popular techno clubs in berlin where the very 1st t.v. crew that's being allowed to film here normally taking photographs and filming is strictly fans voted for. even before going in we can feel the intense vibe coming
10:50 pm
off the dance floor this is how. it's always something like an addiction you just do it i would look forward and never back. q i started working in clubs at 178 years ago he became the manager of the greaseman a one time noodle factory. in the southern part of berlin now the venue hosts 150 parties a year employ 70 and is bringing in about 2100000 euros annually the club is moving up and fast furious techno parties especially the monthly cocktail or event has struck a chord with very young ravers. recently i spoke to a cast who was 20 or 21 and he said his brother was crazy about the greaseman. and wanted to come and start an evening and that brother was just 16 so. sometimes people even dance outside here where they normally just flirt and. the waterfront location and garden are ideal many of the newer berlin clubs attract fans with open
10:51 pm
air. the grease holds flea markets and movies here too. only parties hasn't brought in enough money for a long time now so the business has to operate during the day as well. everything started out small like most things do in berlin says a booker who engages d.j.'s for the party. the clubs have a certain character i can't think of a single club. ultimately it's an entire music industry that works really well but that still has a very informal character especially in berlin. one has been part of the berlin techno music family for around a decade we need in that space hall his favorite record shop this is where he keeps up with the latest trends and looks for new sounds.
10:52 pm
d.e.v.'s one is d.j. party promoter and champion of real underground he's a well respected authority on it some call him the global conscience of techno. there's a reason why berlin is his home away from home after minneapolis i mean i think berlin is a 2nd home i think because the culture is so. relevant here you know the amount of record stores that are here the amount of other artists that i can be influenced by and communicate with and even in passing can gain inspiration from you don't have that really anywhere else in the world of course there's other hubs for electronic music but berlin especially. the freedom space and creative community in berlin remain part of its charm yet d.v.s. one says they could all become a liability he speaks of all the techno tourists who crowd berlin's clubs each
10:53 pm
weekend wondering down the unique character of berlin party and big investors are forcing the clubs out of town. some point it's going to the bubble is going to burst and either it's going to find a solution or it's going to destroy itself it's coming to the point where i think the outcome will become obvious soon and i've already heard about some clubs of course facing closures facing problems noise restrictions and will destroy the city at some point i'm hoping because if anywhere in the world could survive this it's berlin. here on the other side of the canal not far from the more new illegal techno clubs have been set up the underground is still alive but the berlin city government has confirmed that just last year 7 clubs had to close 16 more are at risk including the. dunny cura has long been fighting for survival it's hard to
10:54 pm
believe but he only gets leases for half a year and has just received an extension into early 2020. says biggest attraction its club culture is in danger. in my opinion the downward trend is really a stretch. so i'd like to see policymakers put a stop to the whole thing the investors the relocations gentrification from which we're definitely threatened if you chief. it's uncertain how much time fans have to. go out on berlin as the capital of radical techno. 30 years of techno the motor rob relent that was all from art's $21.00 but the race
