Celebrating the UNESCO Status for Berlin Techno
Conference
Celebrating the UNESCO Status for Berlin Techno
Speakers: Dimitri Hegemann (Founder, Tresor), Ellen Alien (Artist)
Moderator: Holly Dicker (Journalist, Author)
At the beginning of this year, the Berlin Techno scene was added to the intangible cultural heritage list in Germany by UNESCO, bestowing a unique status on a unique scene which has inspired people all over the world. The music and culture is part of the DNA of Berlin, with many of the clubs in the city having become institutions, and many of the local underground artists now being some of the biggest names in the industry. This panel is a tribute to the UNESCO status of Berlin Techno. Together with Dimitri Hegemann, founder of the renowned Berlin club Tresor, and legendary techno artist and label owner Ellen Allien, the speakers will discuss the importance of this movement on electronic music in general.
