at some point the bubble is going to. either it's going to find a solution or it's going to destroy itself. paul van dyke. power. names that stand for techno music from berlin. fast loud and pulsing the sound that's moved the

masses ever since the 1st love parade 30 years ago. and today this techno still alive how's the berlin club scene doing. $21.00 gets into the groove with a $120.00 beats per minute. job i grew up with classical music she then started jobs these days she's making techno. music that irony always has a story and the concept behind it depends on the message that i want to give and my state of mind at that point you. beyond borders

opens with the track i love i know i'm in for one ahau march to balance club scene and music. is the only. reason it was a media. creation. that kind of openness tolerance and freedom was new for nora who grew up in lebanon on the words of mine and to really mean a lot for me because. this is what techno gave me when i when i 1st came here and when i 1st discovered it very hina and the parties around i just felt that there was no more borders and it was really more. that was nearly 10 years ago these days no d.j.'s are venues all over the world including in balance and edge and very 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 partying a lot. it took some time to get to get to where i am now to become a d.j. and i think also making that move away from home i've grown a lot internally. as has her music. which has become hard to keep techno. so it's and there in jadick it's steep it's hypnotic 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 that strong fast and loud. old enough to push back bad

memories pull feelings of fear like those left by the 2006 and 7 on the wall. when i was in beirut i don'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 through the music that i was making and i let it out and in a way i felt like when i made this if it's it was releasing this kind of trauma so it was healing me somehow. the label is called owen sound the initial stand for inserted from which loosely translates we've moved beyond caring and reflects.

if i had like a specific experience where the emotions are so chaotic and i don't know how to deal with it there's a natural instinct into the you know just grab the microphone and you know home it out. using is living for no job or when she's found freedom of expression in technology. it starts safe environments just you know being with the crowds if they're on the dance floor or or behind the d.j. because especially when you're like connecting with the crowd so strongly that you create this energy lab. let's start at the very beginning. the dance for

love was the slogan of the youth movement that began at the end of the 1980 s. in berlin. by 2000 the love parade was a mega event in 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 but he 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 20 people started out we didn't have an event management we just said hey let's do something pumped up the generators. and the people on the sidewalks they just stood there with their mouths agape that's what marshall was hoping for people stopping with the shopping bags thinking what is going on. preventers had

slogans like peace joy and harmony peace on earth or 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 dr martin brought the club scene onto the streets after the fall of the berlin wall in 1989. it was all about borders and self discovery so. you're inspired by an idea and simply go for it when we reached the demo i thought we don't have to proclaim what we're against we need to demonstrate. what we stand for. and that's pretty much what we did with the love. 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. the not parade was in the perfect place of the perfect time it was a whole generation a scene that started small but then it went onto the street and showed it we all this is our music it's take a look we're demonstrating for what we like. a new way to deal with technology. we're not afraid of it we use it to make music. on it. back in west berlin in the late eighty's dr mark and danielle an artist from the us were the dream couple of a new subculture. they loved acid house electronic sound from chicago that dr much event played in a club called the term been at. peace. dance themselves into

a trance to the pulsing beats and flashing strobes. drum machines and bass synthesizers which were small lightweight and affordable electronic instruments made the new sound possible. because the little it's only 2 small machines pretty much caused the 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 to look up side when that techno also propagated that everyone was a cool in comparison to before when it was always about the big rock star 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 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. an attempt to establish the techno event and there were barely ended in disaster in 2010 when 21 people were killed and hundreds injured in a stampede the tragedy of duisburg brought the love parade to a sad day. for. 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 community.

gender politics and skin the techno scene invented its own look and feel and that's affected fashion at large airy comfortable and sexy duds to dance away the nights and days. then you get this new look at some of its initial impetus she studied music art and fashion in new york city. in 1987 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 fashion in 1989 she exhibited her props to relist creations at the 1st love parade with herself in the center. for those of you wanted to work with unconventional material is anyway 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 were different somehow and new and fresh. noyon krrish. with influences from punk designer vivienne westwood and london's acid house scene she based her club outfits on st clair abbey unusual ornamentation. the spirit of the time in berlin. in the street well look this is street 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 it's quick work of one so i got mine. the look has moved from the clubs of the 1990 s. to the runways of today. in paris the young game shows its collections influenced

by. techno and berlin's club culture. the labels founders issue in benjamin who's a being 1st met on the dance floor because initially they focused on fashion for the multicultural community in berlin's nightlife. 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 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 collective production. these factions are not about taking the limelight there's no

personality cult. the same holds true for the techno seen. him behind bars 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 who 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 wearing game is about making a statement against intolerance and xenophobia the founders have had their own experiences with prejudiced parents came to germany from turkey benjamin is half norwegian half pakistani. we wanted to kind of learn from that and that's why we 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 world and kind of get the strength that. 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 as a remark row in a micro level that is something very personal but also something that is very global or something that anyone can kind of relate to or. it's mainly the clubs that make the city we make to insiders who were in on the phenomenon from the start. michelle feedlot now a d.j. in the trendy bad kind club and photographer martin in the 1990 s.

he chronicled the spaces for the wall to new subculture when it felt as if you were stumbling through a land of adventure every day and something changed. and 990 s. felt like a new beginning to me techno had a lot to do with the period after reunification. tops of the fall of the eastern was 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 dishes or opens up in a one time department store. it quickly became the flagship for the new party town and a launching pad for d.j.'s like paul van dyke. camera. for math model the 1st time i was in the trees or i had a black leather jacket on my hair dyed black and all the other guys there had white gloves and bright orange safety vests on and i thought wow this is

a. the different world what's going on here at the. table i moved to berlin in 1990 s. and dove right into the techno singing for about 10 years he focused on the spices the new art and music movements were happening in. the resulting photo series is called temporary spices these were the settings for a wild and lawless subculture of clubs bars and galleries. the hardware as he calls it he captures the brief moment before the graving starts. that's 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 interested in the spaces it was all happening in. what the housing for this party or i should say this club thing actually looked like. in that these days

a power station is there since techno temple in front of bad time we talked to michelle fiedler d.j. field the club's resident d.j. and the luminaries. 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. and spirit a whole ton. michel fiedler techno scene at the age of 18 now and he's made forty's he energizes dance falls from ukraine to columbia with his own tracks. through the front and i draw upon the experiences i myself had as a writer and i want to generate that very same energy again and again you know it's

hard. rosen talents in downtown. looks back. to mimic of what corner we're standing on is close to many of the spots just up there is there sort receive 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 when 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 the ecstatic friends joining the ninety's and early now that's one of the targets that was a totally fabulous time for me seeing from today it was a period of my life that was really good even if i feel very little connection to it now. how does d.j.

fiedel see the development of technology. it will be part of 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 on. it's a saturday night. 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 for photos. even before going in we can feel the intense vibe coming off the dance floor and this is how. it's all or something like an addiction you just do it i would look forward and never backed. q i started working in clubs at

1718 years ago he came the manager of the 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 curers techno parties especially the monthly cocktail more event has struck a chord with very young ravers. recently i spoke to a guest 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 chill out. the waterfront location and garden are ideal many of the newer berlin clubs attract techno fans with open air. the grease holds flea markets and movies here too.

only hardy's 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 cleese party. character i can't think of a single. 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 meet him at space hall his favorite record shop this is where he keeps up with the latest trends and looks for new sounds. d.e.v.'s one is d.j. party promoter and champion of real undergrad. 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 and 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 if 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 weekend wondering down the unique character of berlin parties 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 police 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 believe but he only gets leases for half a year and has just received an extension into early. biggest attraction

is club culture. in my opinion the downward trend is really a stretch. so i'd like to see policy makers put a stop to the whole thing the investors the relocations gentrification from which we're definitely threatened. but. it's uncertain how much time fans have to keep. the lights go out on berlin as the capital of free radical tech now. 30 years of techno the motor rob relent that was all from art's $21.00 but the rave goes on.

to. say cheese please. step which way this camera takes that phrase literally. and i'm in no such as come up with a few other surprises. britain's brendan barry loves to take photos with unusual
