30 years after the first Loveparade, founder Dr. Motte shares how he started a ‘rave-olution’ Dina Elsayed
On July 1, 1989, a few months before the fall of the Berlin Wall, a couple handfuls of people started a dance parade to acid house music along Kurfürstendamm in West Berlin. It was called Loveparade and was organized by a DJ named Dr. Motte.
30 years on, we caught up with Dr. Motte to find out more about the origins of the legendary event, and how a celebration founded in the name of “peace, love and pancakes” became a world-renowned party.
According to Schmutz, metal musicians eschew the beach, which is why their gig recommendations for July seem to be mostly punk and metal based. Listen in for inspiration as Gabriel Dunn and newbie Mark Byrne run through their must-see shows for July including Sho Madjozi, FloFilz, Sun and Gouge Away.
