After two years of absence linked to the Covid-19 pandemic, the meeting of the techno scene will be held on September 24 in the capital.
His career as well as the entire program will be announced soon.
For now, a dozen tanks are already planned to honor, as every year, the main currents of techno, from house to drum'n'bass through trance.
This 24th edition will be "even more demanding", in the words of the president of Technopol, an association for the defense of electronic cultures, Tommy Vaudecrane.
“Electronic music is always confronted with received ideas.
Events are still difficult to organize.
The reluctance and concerns around this movement are not justified.
This musical current is the second most listened to by young people after hip-hop.
He therefore deserves to be able to express himself more freely”, judges the organizer.
Ukraine in the spotlight
This new edition promises to also honor Ukraine, the country where DJ Xenia is from, who is to perform during the event.
The Techno Parade will be another opportunity for its organizers to recall some of their demands, such as the inclusion of electronic music in the French cultural heritage, the adaptation of the intermittent regime to the profession of DJ or the creation of zones of reception for electro music events and festivals.
Proof of its enthusiasm, the previous edition of the Techno Parade, in September 2019, brought together more than 200,000 people in Paris behind a dozen colorful floats and their sound systems.
The organizers hope to invite as many revelers as of the start of the school year.
All “in a secure environment”.
In addition, a safety device deployed throughout the course, the focus will be on prevention, assures Technopole, who mentions hearing screenings for parade professionals, as well as a distribution of water and earplugs. on the course.
Created in 1998 with the support of the former Minister of Culture Jack Lang, on the model of the "Love Parade" in Berlin, the Techno Parade claims for each edition "freer access to a party".
