Love Parade 1993

By the 1993 edition, held on the third of July, the Love Parade had grown from a handful of dancers into a mass procession through Berlin, a yearly festival of the reunified city's techno culture. The event drew crowds that turned the city's avenues into open-air dancefloors. Its scale made plain how completely the music had taken hold of post-Wall Berlin.

  • influenced by First Love Parade

    The small 1989 demonstration set the template that, edition by edition, swelled into the mass 1993 procession through Berlin. What began as a handful of dancers had become a yearly festival of the reunified city's techno culture. The growth charted how thoroughly the music had colonized post-Wall Berlin.

  • collaborates with WestBam

    WestBam was among the producers whose brash, populist tracks supplied the Love Parade with its anthems as the event grew through the early 1990s. His records filled the parade's trucks and the city's largest dancefloors. He became, with Dr. Motte, one of the parade's defining musical voices.
