Watch the video: “It’s awesome” – Techno party “Rave the Planet” is moving through Berlin
STORY: Booming bass in the capital. The participants of the techno event “Rave the Planet” paraded through Berlin on Saturday. The train starts in the early afternoon. The police only gave the green light shortly before the planned start at 2 p.m. The city center belongs to the ravers, the police said on Twitter. “I know that 20 years ago, it still seems so. It’s awesome. It’s my first time with my children, my greatest wish.” “It’s just awesome. So many different people here today, just awesome.” According to the organizers, who are expecting around 300,000 participants, the rave sees itself as a “political demonstration”. This year the motto is “Music is the answer”. Demonstrate for peace and the preservation of electronic music and club culture, as well as the recognition of their cultural and social achievements. It says so on the event’s website. dr Motte, co-founder of the non-profit organization “Rave the Planet”: “What does that mean? This is a vision that we are continuing, that we had in 1989, namely: At some point there will be techno parades in all countries, at some point everyone will be dancing there. And someday Then these people will discover: We are all human. We all belong to the same family and then maybe they will find out at some point: We are all a family.” The event is considered a continuation of the Love Parade. Its implementation was stopped after an accident in Duisburg in 2010 that left 21 dead and hundreds injured, some of them seriously. There was initially no information on exactly how many people were present at “Rave the Planet” on Saturday here in Berlin.
