Love Parade - Access Peace - Berlin Germany - 13-07-2002

The Love Parade (German: Loveparade) was a popular electronic dance music festival and technoparade that originated in 1989 in West Berlin, Germany. It was held annually in Berlin from 1989 to 2003 and in 2006, then from 2007 to 2010 in the Ruhr region. Events scheduled for 2004 and 2005 in Berlin and for 2009 in Bochum were canceled.

On 24 July 2010, a crowd crush at the Love Parade in Duisburg caused the deaths of 21 people, with at least 500 others injured. As a consequence, the organizer of the festival announced that no further Love Parades would be held and that the festival was permanently canceled.

In 2022 the Love Parade was revived under the name Rave The Planet.

When you say Techno, you say Ben Sims! Simple as that, prove me wrong! Here are some of his finest Hardgroove Techno sets from the past! Enjoy!

With over 20 years experience under his belt, Ben Sims has a well-deserved reputation as one of the world's most in-demand and leading techno DJs - a tight, energetic mixer who skilfully weaves together his own distinctive blend of tough funk and hardg..
From early formative days earning his stripes spinning hip hop, house and rave on pirate radio, and at parties around Essex and East London, through the 90's as an ever more in demand DJ, and on into the new millennium as a label boss, producer and internationally recognised techno legend in his own right, Ben Sims has spent all his conscious life exploring all facets of underground dance music 

Throughout that time, the man has honed his reputation as a tight, energetic mixer who skilfully weaves together his own distinctive blend of tough funk and hardgrooves, often using three-deck wizardry and plenty of dexterity.  Be it at clubs like Fabric London, Atomic Jam, Berghain, Florida 135, or any number of festivals around the world, Sims' sets are powerful, memorable, and unique, while constantly pushing the boundaries of a DJ set - utilising a   mesmerizing blend of vinyl, CDs, and software.

As well as carving a reputation as one of the world's leading techno DJs, Ben has curated many of his own revered labels over the years.  Chief amongst them is Theory - an imprint this year celebrating it's 40th release, that counts amongst it's supporters contemporary connoisseurs like Marcel Dettmann, Ben Klock, and the old guard of Dave Clarke, Robert Hood, Rolando and more - proof, then, that Sims is on the form of his life production wise.

Riding high on the wave of critical acclaim from his cultured debut long player on Drumcode, 2011's Smoke & Mirrors, an album that voyages into Sim's unique take on techno, coupled with authentic house outings, thanks to guest appearances from Chicago's Tyree Cooper and Detroit's Blake Baxter, whilst also showcasing plenty of dubbed-out and grainy textures.

Sims has put his name to more than 50 releases in the last two decades.  During those years, there has also been a steady stream of high profile remixes of scene heavyweights, including Jeff Mills, Adam Beyer, Kevin Saunderson and Chris Liebing, on labels du jour like AXIS, KMS, CLR and Drumcode, all of which have won as much critical praise as they have crossover success. 

Despite his veteran status in the scene, Sims has always been keen to evolve.  Alongside Kirk Degiorgio, he is co-founder & curator of Machine - a clubnight which focuses on new, unreleased, & upfront music; it's primary home in London, but with editions all across Europe each year. His 'Run it Red' radio show, broadcast via NTSlive and podcasted afterwards, also serves to solely highlight new music.

Essential Guide To Platipus

[90's Trance] Essential Guide To Platipus Records Part 1

This was quite a project to put together. Harthouse has so many wonderful releases throughout the 90s but to keep the set sonically consistant and with a decent flow throughout I had to limit the selections quite strictly. I know there are many fan favorites missing here. Perhaps I can get hem all into a Part 2 some day. 

Hope you enjoy this rose-tinted and personal look at one of the greatest underground labels.

[90's Trance/Hard Trance] Essential Guide To Harthouse (1992-1995)

UNTREATED Podcast 029 by https://soundcloud.com/fheise

There is this kind of people that constantly yearns for the days ‘back in the days’. A ‘back in the days’ they mostly haven’t even witnessed for themselves. Those good old times when there still was an ‘underground’, when there was no ventilation in clubs, No Champagne at the bar, just ‘real’ Techno and loads of good sex. Well, Frank Heise is not one of those people. He doesn’t spend his time mourning after visions of electronic music and culture long gone. He creates new ones.

From dry and pithy Techno beats to heart-opening Rave-orgasms, from hypnotic Trance lines to disconcerting ambient tunes – Heise knows how to play his electronic claviature. Be it in the studio where he composes and produces his own tracks with analog drum machines and a modular synth system, or in the DJ booth where the notorious vinyl enthusiast shows off his most polished mixing skills. Always in sync, always devoted, always all in.

Well, the underground is long dead, the ventilation is finally installed, and there’s still loads of good sex – just not on the menu.
