Get Techie in Paris

To many, Paris is a city of lights... to some, it's the city of love. But whatever the people refer Paris to, there's something more to Paris that just the 'City of Lights' or the 'City of Love'. It's even more than just a breathtaking view, a beautiful city, a tourist spot. It's  more than the food that people enjoy when they're in the city.




Like many other countries, culture is wrapped around Paris. It has a great touch of its history engraved in the hearts of the people. It also has a valuable influence on art which can be seen in different museums. Most of all, Paris has the soul for music. Whatever kind of music it may be, Paris can dance and prance to it.

One kind of music that beats in the pulses of Paris natives is Techno.

Every September, Paris celebrates what they call 'Techno Parade'. It is an event of loud and groovy techno music enthralled in music parades with more than 200 DJs doing their thing in mixing and playing techno music. Although this is a loud-and-proud event, this is one of the most celebrated in the city.

Techno Parade was created during 1998 wherein vehicles equipped with huge and loud speakers are paraded in the streets creating and producing loud techno music to promote the electronic culture. Since that first year of the Techno Parade, people from all over the globe are united increasing the attendance every year. This makes Techno Parade a world wide phenomenon that's truly been supported and loved by many.

This year, Techno Parade is having the theme "Indepen danse". It will be this coming September 17 and it would be one "noisy" day.

This year's Techno Parade features the roots of the said event. DJs will give tribute to the people (and their music) who started Techno Parade. So who to expect for this year's Techno Parade? www.parisvoice.com tells us:

Tunisia will be the guest of honor. Bob Sinclar, a world renowned French DJ, will head the impressive line of DJs pumping the blood of high-octane dance music through the veins of electro-music fans, just as he did at the first parade 12 years ago.

But he won’t be the only famous DJ.
DJs such as David Guetta, Mark Knight, DJ Ufuk and Django are slated to play amongst the 20 floats carrying 150 musicians, DJs and performers from all over France. The popular music-streaming providers, Deezer and FG DJ Radio are among the many floats participating in the parade. The Deezer float will showcase the talents of Rodriguez JR, Mr. Statik and Dance Disorder. On the FG DJ Radio float, Alex Gaudino, Bingo Players, Michel Conitrot, Paulette, Yves Larock, Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike will headline. Tunisia will also be represented on the "Sound of Cartage" float, spinning the sounds of freedom with homegrown Tunisian DJs, Wael B, Zoux, Waverform and Selim B.
