This was a very free parade, which featured over 100 DJs and a variety of floats from different crews and collectives.

Dr. Motte, the man responsible for Berlin’s first acid house parties in the late-1980s, and the Love Parade, co-founded Rave The Planet in 2020 to bring the massive street party back to Berlin for the first time since 2010.

"What a day. Unbelievable. We brought the spirit of the Love Parade back to Berlin. We did it, and with the best intentions. We, as the non-profit Rave the Planet organisation, worked long and hard on it. We all felt the rhythm and the bass in the streets of Berlin and the music brought us together." - said Motte to DJMAG.

The last official Love Parade in Berlin was in 2006. The events stopped worldwide several years later, after 21 people died in a crush at the Duisburg edition in 2010.

Filterheadz Infinite EP on Mavic Music

Belgium duo The Filterheadz realised debut on Mavic Music with two powerhouse tracks extensively road-tested and guaranteed for the dance floor. The lead track " Infinite " starts with a powerful rolling baseline, kick and sneaky distorted stabs and a timeless vocal before breaking down into a sensuous pad that sits underneath hoover'esqe like leads, screaming rides and effects that carry the music to the finish line. " Locomotive " on the flip side starts off with drips of acid and stabs creating maximum intensity from the first few bars. The track infectiously weaves in and out between masterfully tuned effects and complex percussive grooves resulting in any acid lovers dream track.
