The prolonged closure of nightclubs and health restrictions are a threat to this industry, estimated at several billion dollars. Faced with the situation, some of its representatives are campaigning for techno to be included in the list of Unesco’s intangible heritage.
Dr Motte is one of the proponents involved in the movement. The German DJ and creator of the Love Parade recently launched a campaign to have the Unesco World Heritage Committee recognise the importance of Berlin techno.
