And today this techno still alive hows the Berlin Club Scene doing 21. 00 gets into the groove with a 120. 00 beats per minute. Jabber grew up with Classical Music she then started jans these days shes making techno. Music that irony 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. Before one ahau march to balance club scene and music. And he. Knows the importance of family. Members because. That kind of openness tolerance and freedom was new for noah who grew up in lebanon on the words of fine and to really mean a lot for me because. This is what techno gave me when i when i 1st came here when i 1st discovered it very high 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 berlin some legendary club. She moved from beirut to berlin 5 years ago to a new cosmos that she wanted to explore the i was really hard to. Culture major Culture Shock and where i felt more subtle was when i started partying a lot. But took some time to get to get to where i am now to to become a d. J. And i think also making that move away from home ive grown a lot internally. As her music. Which has become hard to keep techno. So its and there in jadick its steep at nordic it gives you the president moment feeling so when when youre listening to techno youre fully in the present moment. Its music that strong. Fast and loud enough to push back bad memories cool feelings of fear like those left by the 2006 that when on the wall. When i was in beirut i didnt 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 make this if its it was releasing this kind of trauma so it was healing me somehow. The label is called. The initial stand for and from which loosely translates as weve moved beyond caring and to reflect to choose. If i had like a specific experience where the emotions are so chaotic and i dont know how to deal with it theres a natural instinct into the you know just grab the microphone and you know home its out. Using it is living for no other job or man shes found freedom of expression and techno. It starts Safe Environments just you know being with the crowds if theyre on the dance floor or or behind the d. J. Because specially when youre like connecting with the crowd so strongly that you create this energy last. Lets start at the very beginning. The 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 for. This couple launched the love parade 30 years ago it was registered as a political demonstration the march route ran along former west berlin famous shopping boulevard to condemn but she 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 just we didnt have an Event Management we just said hey lets do something pumped up the generators. And the people on the sidewalks they just stood there with their mouths agape thats what marshall was hoping for people stopping with the shopping bags thinking what is going on. Good answers 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. 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 youre inspired by an idea and simply go for it when we reached the demo i thought we dont have to proclaim what were against we need demonstrate. What we stand for. And thats 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 on to the street and showed it we are this is our music its take a look were demonstrating for what we like. A new way to deal with technology and were not afraid of it we use it to make music. Music time it. Back in west berlin in the late eightys 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 martin 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. Machine. To small machines pretty much cause the revolution because we thought hey you can record a cassette at home in your bedroom to start off with its 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 rock star so then that aspect wasnt there anymore thats why techno was also politically important to me and thats why it was so attractive for many but. Nevertheless no one thought the trend would become a mass movement. In 1906 the love parade marched 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 they were barely 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 sad and. 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 thats affected fashion at large very 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 1987 she moved to berlin and began designing fairy tale gowns of cool and lace for the citys 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 along 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 would different somehow a new and fresh young noyon krrish. With influences from punk designers Vivienne Westwood and londons acid house scene she based her club outfits on st clair at an unusual ornamentation it fits the spirit of the time in berlin. Is the feet where look this is street where look is still around its a look that quite a lot of people who are still going to techno raves or spinning discs. This is how its become a general lifestyle culture worldwide so even quick work of one flag of mine. The look has moved from the clubs of the 1990 s. To the runways of today. In paris the young gameplay hard label shows its collections influenced by. Techno and berlins club culture. The labels founders and benjamin whos a being 1st met on the dance floor initially they focused on passion for the Multicultural Community in berlins 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 were going to seem older does it represent someone we know its really like its kind of like feeling like its more like a cost of people of a community. 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 that are Sustainable Materials made in collective production. These passions are not about taking the limelight theres no personality called. The same holds true for the techno seen. Him the highest legal form of any company and i think we want you 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 wearing 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 norwegian half pakistani. We wanted to kind of learn from that and thats why we called it Survival Strategies because its 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 from that. In berlin they find the space they need to be creative theyve already moved far beyond the confines of the club culture. Everything. Talks about it sounds like were 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 or. Its 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. In the trendy bedtime 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 and you didnt 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 was full of empty lots and buildings abandoned industrial spaces were taken over by this out to dance to the new sound of freight and techno. In 1991 opens up you know one time to. 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. And he took a math model the 1st time i was in the trees or i had a black Leather Jacket on and my hair dyed black and all the other guys there had white gloves and bright orange. And i thought wow this is a. The different world whats going on here at the. Table moved to berlin in the 9918 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 is called temporary spices these were the settings for a wild and lawless subculture of clubs and galleries. The hard way as he calls it he captures the brief moment before the brain starts. Thats what you generally associate with the 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. The housing for this party or i should say this club thing actually looked like. That in that these days the power station is their temple in front of bad time we talked to michelle fiedler. The clubs resident d. J. And luminaries not lost. The concern of i think its 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 its about and then carry the spirit far and wide. And spirit a whole ton of. Michelle fiedler techno scene at the age of 18 now and hes made fortys he energizes dance falls from ukraine to colombia with his own tracks. Mission until the 15th and i draw upon the experiences i myself had as a raver and i want to generate that very same energy again and again you know its hard. Rosen tyler plants in downtown. Looks back. To america were going to were standing on as close to many of the spots just up on in there is there sort received located in a squat thats why i had my 1st gigs across the way was the good walk around the corner here to the left was the imam. The former underground club in a squat it was also immortalized as one of the. Temporary spaces im kind of walking along here now and looking at the photos you can hardly believe the saying street so much about the citys expressive power has changed theyre still. Looking back how does that the talking to see the ecstatic in the ninetys an early double os now one of the top 4 that that was a totally fabulous time for me seen from the day 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. Fetal see the development of techno. Dam is still new and fresh and headed in a certain direction from time to time its been declared dead then it got a bit more established came into the mainstream and now we have a well established nightlife in. The euphoria and the ecstasy of the beginning. But in berlin the party ever onward. To. Its a saturday night. One of the most popular techno clubs in berlin where the very 1st t. V. Crew thats 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 this is so. Wrong its almost Something Like an addiction you just do it i would look forward and never backed. Started working in clubs at 178 years ago he became the manager of the 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 theyre more event has struck a chord with very young ravers. Recently i spoke to a gas 2 was 20 or 21. 00 and he said his brother was crazy about the grease and backing and wanted to come and start an evening 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 area the reason holds flea markets and movies here too coasting only parties hasnt 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 parties. The clubs have a certain do it yourself character i cant think of a single club that. Ultimately its an entire Music Industry that works really well but that still has a very informal character especially in berlin. D. D. s one has been part of the berlin techno music family for around a decade we needed that space call his favorite record shop this is where he keeps up with the latest trends and looks for new sounds. D. D. s one is d. J. Party promoter and champion of real undergrad. Hes a well respected authority on it some call him the global conscience of techno. Theres 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 you dont have that really anywhere else in the world of course theres 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 berlins clubs each weekend wondering down the unique character of berlin party and big investors are forcing the clubs out of town. Some point its going to the bubble is going to burst and either its going to find a solution or its going to destroy itself its coming to the point where i think the outcome will become obvious soon and ive already heard about some clubs of course facing closures facing problems noise restrictions and will destroy the city at some point im hoping because if anywhere in the world could survive this its 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 its 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 id like to see policy makers put a stop to the whole thing the investors the relocations gentrification from which were definitely threatened. But. Its uncertain how much time fans have to keep. The lights will go out on berlin as the capital of free radical techno. 30 years of techno the motor rob reland that was all from arts 21. 00 but the rave goes on. After. A long. Long.
