Get ready for the “Rave The Planet” Parade, set to take over Berlin on August 17, 2024! This epic parade is more than just an event — it’s a massive celebration of Techno culture that honors the roots of the Rave movement while showcasing its global evolution and influence. Last year, over 300000 ravers filled the streets, and this year promises to be even bigger.
The official anthem for this year’s parade is a powerhouse collaboration between three legendary figures in the Techno scene: Dr. Motte, Westbam and Tom Wax. These icons bring their unique expertise and passion for the genre to create something truly special. And there’s even more reason to celebrate: Techno has just been recognized as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage, giving the entire Rave movement a huge boost!
Rave The Planet Hymn – Two Visions, One Passion
For the first time in the young parade’s history, this year’s anthem features not one, but two thrilling versions. Emerging from the joint studio sessions between Westbam, Dr. Motte and Tom Wax, these tracks developed into distinct paths, each reflecting the personal style and vision of its creators. The result? Two heart-pounding tracks that beat together like twin heart chambers for the “Rave The Planet” Parade.
The Dr. Motte & Tom Wax mix, expertly mastered by Perla Audio, delivers powerful spoken word elements, expansive pads, and a fast-paced 137 BPM Techno kick drum. On the flip side, the Westbam/ML interpretation shines with catchy arpeggios, old-school beats, and soulful vocals, offering a fresh yet nostalgic vibe.
These mixes are all about the unifying power of music, bridging the gap between the Rave pioneers and the new generation of ravers. They embody a shared vision of love, hope and peace, reinforcing the unity message at the heart of the Rave The Planet Parade: Love is Stronger!
