Techno at festivals

Techno was born in Detroit in the mid-1980s with the Belleville Three, Juan Atkins, Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson; Model 500's "No UFO's" from 1985 is generally counted as the first techno record. After the Wall fell, Berlin became its second home, with the Tresor club opening in 1991. Its festivals are built on long hours, in halls at night or open airs in summer.

Time Warp has run since 1994 inside the Maimarkthalle in Mannheim, an indoor event held in spring (April for the next edition). Awakenings, which began in 1997 at Amsterdam's Gashouder, also hosts nights during Amsterdam Dance Event in October. In Spain, Monegros Desert Festival, started in 1994 in the desert between Candasnos and Fraga, returns in July. In Detroit, Movement takes over Hart Plaza on Memorial Day weekend at the end of May.
