Vandyke. Power plant. Names that stand for techno music from berlin. Fast loud and pulsing the sound thats moved the masses ever since the 1st love parade 30 years ago. And today this techno still alive hows the Berlin Club Scene doing. 21. 00 gets into the groove with 120. 00 beats per minute. Job i 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 you. Album beyond borders opens with the track alice the i number one ahau march to balance club scene and music. You. Listen closely you. Can. See. That kind of openness tolerance and freedom was new for nora who grew up in lebanon the words of. 2 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 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 its venues all over the world including in berlin some legendary car because. She moved from beirut to berlin 5 years ago to a new cosmos that she wanted to explore there was really hard to. 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 it to become a d. J. And i think also making that move away from home ive grown a lot internally. As has her music. Which has become hard picking technique. So its and there in jadick its steep its hypnotic its it gives you the president moment feeling so when when youre listening to techno youre fully in the present moment. Its music thats strong. Fast and loud enough to push back bad memories pull feelings of fear like germs last 5 in 2006 that been 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 made this if its it was releasing this kind of trauma so it was healing me somehow. Really. The label is called. The initial stand for. Which loosely translates as weve moved beyond caring and to reflect. 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 grabbed the microphone and you know comments out. Is living for no other job or and shes found freedom of expression in techno. It starts Safe Environments just you know being with the crowds if theyre on the dance floor or or behind the d. J. This especially when youre like connecting with the crowd so strongly that you create this energy lab. Lets 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 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 famous shopping boulevard to him but he is ruing alias dr martin and his girlfriend back then dont you. Look back on the 1st event on july 1st 1989. Everyone was scattered about 20 people started out 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 marcia 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 of 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 howard brought the club scene onto the streets after the fall of the berlin wall in 1989. Borders and discovery. Youre inspired by an idea and simply go for it when we register i thought we dont have to proclaim what were against we need to demonstrate. What we stand for. And thats pretty much what we did with the love. With our music and make euphoria. 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 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. Back in west berlin in the late eighties. An artist from the us where the dream couple of a new subculture. They loved acid house electronic sound from chicago that dr martin played in a club called the derby now. People dance themselves into a trance pulsing beats and flashing strobes. Drum machines and bass synthesizers which were small lightweight and affordable electronic instruments made the new sound possible. To snow. The machines pretty much closed the revolution because we thought hey you can record a cassette at home in your bedroom to start off with and 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. 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 for raid in berlin. And attempts to establish the techno eventually 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 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 community. Gender politics and skin the techno scene invented its own look and feel and thats affected fashion at large airy comfortable and sexy duds to dance away the nights and days. Danielle did tollgate this new look some of its initial. She studied music art and passion 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 love with herself in the center. For those of you women are not wanted to 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 young noyon fish. With influences from punk designers Vivienne Westwood and londons absent house scene she based her club outfits on st clair unusual ornamentation. The spirit of the time in berlin. To the street well this is street where locals 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 its 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 game 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 fashion for the Multicultural Community in berlin nightlife. For us it was all about representing ourselves were making our story being seen in fashion we see people and we see. 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 see an 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 than. The factions reflect the many faces of this Community Different ages ethnicities and genders to to fashion these does 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 theres no personality called. The same holds true for the techno scene. In the highest legal form 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 prejudice parents came to germany from turkey benjamin is half no region half pakistani. We wanted to kind of learn from that and thats why we called it Survival Strategies because its very much its. 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 and they find the space they need to be creative theyve already moved far beyond the confines of the club culture. Everything. Talks about it so. We are dealing with very big issues but we always kind of talk about it both in a sort of macro and micro level that 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 bad time 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 every day and something changed. A 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 the full of empty lots and buildings abandoned industrial spaces were taken over by brave is out to dance to the new sound of freight and technology. In 1991 opens 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. Enabler went in with his camera. And they got the math mark the 1st time i was in the trades 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 completely different world whats going on here at the. Table i moved to berlin in 1900. To the techno singer for about 10 years and he focused on the spices the new art and music movements were happening in. The resulting photo series is called temporary spices things for the sections for a wild and lawless subculture of clubs bars and galleries. The villa nails the hardwood as he calls it he captures the brief moment before the brain starts. Thats 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 the former haitian power station is no temple in front of bedtime we talked to Michelle Fiedler d. J. Faecal the clubs resident d. J. And a luminary lost. The sureness and 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 to the spirit of tom. Michel fiedler and to berlins 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 rave and i want to generate that very same energy again and again you know its hard. Its in downtown. Looks back. To the neck of the corner were standing on as close to many of the spots just up on a charger is there sort receive located in a squat thats why i had my 1st gigs across the way was the blood walk around the corner here to the left was the imam. The former underground club in a squat 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 the talking to see the ecstatic funnies join the ninetys and early double os now the fun at the top for that that was a totally fabulous time for me seen 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 see the development of technology. It will be. 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. The euphoria and the ecstasy of the beginning is all but in berlin the party ever on. Its a saturday night at least 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. Its own or Something Like an addiction you just do it i would look forward and never back. I started working in clubs at 1718 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 employs 70 and is bringing in about 2100000 euros annually the club is moving up and fast. Curious techno parties especially the monthly cocktail the more event that 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 grease move back 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. Degrees who holds flea markets and movies here too coasting only parties hasnt brought in enough money for a long time 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. Actually in berlin the clubs have a certain character i cant think of a single club. Ultimately its an entire Music Industry that works really well but that still has a very informal character especially in berlin. D. J. 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. V. D. s one is d. J. Party promoter and champion of real underground techno 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 of anywhere in the world could survive this its 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 its hard to believe but he only gets leases for half a year and has just received an extension into early 2020. Says berlins biggest attraction is club culture in danger and. In my opinion the downward trend is really a stretch. So id like to see policymakers put a stop to the whole thing the investors the relocations gentrification from which were definitely threatened. Its 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 arts 21. 00 but the rave goes on. To. Sing. A song. Called m. L.
