As the founder of the iconic Love Parade in 1989, which started as a small dance protest with just a few friends, Dr. Motte ignited a global movement.
By 1999, the Love Parade had grown into the biggest dance music event in history, uniting 1.5 million people on the streets of Berlin in a celebration of peace, music, and togetherness.
Dr. Motte's life's work is rooted in the belief that electronic music can be a unifying, cultural force.
In 2019, he launched Rave The Planet, an annual initiative and parade aimed at securing techno's place as a recognised cultural heritage.
Thanks to his ongoing activism, Berlin's techno scene was officially added to the German UNESCO Commission's list of intangible cultural heritage, a huge milestone in preserving the genre's roots and cultural impact.
Dr. Motte & Marc van Linden – Our Future Is Now - STREAM HERE.
In celebration of this year's Rave The Planet which takes place on July 12 in Berlin, and his unwavering dedication to the scene, Dr. Motte has teamed up with heavyweight producer Marc van Linden for a powerful new release: Our Future Is Now, the official anthem of the Rave The Planet parade 2025.
It's a sonic manifesto built on iconic synth stabs, acid-soaked 303s and Dr. Motte's evocative spoken word. It pulses with unity, hope and the belief that the future we dream of is being shaped on today's dance floors.
All proceeds go to Rave The Planet's non-profit mission to protect, promote and celebrate techno culture and to keep the spirit of the original Love Parade alive.
On the decks, Dr. Motte is as captivating as ever. His sets are unpredictable journeys through the techno cosmos. Raw, energetic, and emotionally charged.
Whether he's playing intimate underground clubs or headlining major festivals he continues to embody the essence of rave culture.
Now, as he marks 40 years in music in 2025, The Night Bazaar is honoured to welcome Dr. Motte to The Night Bazaar Sessions with an exclusive DJ mix on Mixcloud. It's a powerful transmission from one of techno's true masters and a timely reminder of the music's enduring power.
He told us: 'This mix is my little journey through different shades of our scene – from raw underground energy to classic rave spirit. Music connects us, no matter if it's fresh tracks, timeless remixes or our own productions.
"For me, it's always about spreading the idea behind it: love, unity and positive energy.'

Rising star Greta Levska launches her debut album after drawing inspiration from four decades of electronic music
JUST DANCE Rising star Greta Levska launches her debut album after drawing inspiration from four decades of electronic music AS one of the most exciting new voices in the electro scene, Greta Levska is reshaping the sound of the dance floor - past, present and future. With her debut album IBZALIEN landing this month on the ever-eclectic, Berlin label Get Physical, Greta draws inspiration from four decades of electronic music and filters it through her own vibrant, genre-blurring lens. 2 Her new album is inspired by decades of electronic music Credit: Supplied 2 Greta has her own vibrant, genre-blurring lens Credit: Supplied From the 80s hip-hop flair of first single Moulin Krew to the Fairlight CMI-fuelled bounce of her latest dancefloor heater Initialize, IBZALIEN is a masterclass in futuristic nostalgia. Greta offers a deeper look into her sonic world with an exclusive playlist for The Night Bazaar, featuring her own productions alongside club ready gems from artists like Rex The Dog, Raxon, Cour T, and Egyptian Lover. It's a collection steeped in raw energy, funky grooves and playful synth work and is the perfect soundtrack for a Mediterranean summer or a late-night session on a packed Ibiza dancefloor. Take a listen below and read what Greta had to about the music. Greta Levska plays 528 Ibiza with Maceo Plex for the Brunch Electronik Opening Party on Sunday 13th July. Book that trip, you won't regret it. Greta Levska IBZALIEN is out now on Get Physical. Greta Levska - Moulin Krew (Get Physical) The first single taken from my debut album on Get Physical, Moulin Krew, an 80s Bboy, funk filled track that always lights up the mood. I played this for the first time at my Pikes residency in Ibiza & I can just remember the room starting to really vibe with it. Rex The Dog - Prototype (Kompakt) A re-release from Rex The Dog, a weapon that first dropped in 2004 & now still sounding just as fresh on the new Kompakt 500 compilation. I've been a massive fan of Rex for years, playing his music all over from my Amnesia residency, to warehouses across Germany. This one feels extra special, it has a blend of acid house, electro & uplifting synths which brings influences of Italo Disco, what a combination. Raxon - Future (Greta Levska Remix) [DSK Records] I had a wicked time remixing my incredibly talented friend Raxon. After playing together across Europe over the past 2 years multiple times, we share a great connection in musical styles & become great friends. It's a pleasure to have been asked to be part of his album remix package alongside Michael Mayor, Roman Flugel, NO_IP and more. With the remix, I wanted to bring something that would be reminiscent of our time on the road together, packing the feeling we have been lucky enough to share into 1 track. Cour T - Labirinto Babylonia [Maccabi House] Dynamite track from Cour T. I first played this in Barcelona at a club called Red 58 for an amazing all female line up curated by the wonderful Electronik Delight party. I'm personally a big fan of glitchy sounding synths & I love how this one EQ's in and out to take its moments while also giving space for the commanding vocals 'Set this place on fire'. Tom Bug & Grooveline - Flush (REKD) Love this collaboration between 2 wicked artists. Old school UK rave flavour all over this one with that huge synth line & vocal talking back and forth with each other - can see this going off at any festival this summer. Dino Lenny - Don't Mess With Chemistry (Fine Human Record) After meeting Dino Lenny at Hi Ibiza & catching his set with Damian Lazarus, I was blown away by the music he was playing so the first thing I did the next day was go check out his tunes. 'Dont Mess With The Chemistry' was the first track I clicked of his & it teleported me back to the club room where I had danced to it & tried to shazam it the night before. Absolute belter. Kwake - Nucleus (WRECKS) Goes without saying, Wrecks records as a label are permanent invaders of my rekordbox. I absolutely love the latest release that comes from the amazing Kwake. Such a distinct sound to his production & includes all the things I love about a real raw dance floor focused club track where the chunky bass line fully cuts through. Gypsy Mitchell - Movin (Egyptian Lover Dub) (Modulor) Probably one of my favourite producers & that is responsible for one of my favourite electro tracks of all time 'Egypt, Egypt', Egyptian Lover has delivered for over 20 years pioneering the scene into what it is today. Always bringing a sleezy funky vocoder vibe, I love this Dub of Gypsy Mitchell and as a producer, I know how hard it is to make something sound 'simple' and not over cook a track. This just has a groove, big 808 business! Wallace - Cravings (ft Love Letters) (Phantasy) Fast becoming one of my go to labels, Phantasy is up there with the best of them & this track from Wallace 'Cravings' has it all. The vocal is so hypnotising, I kind of feel like it puts me in a certain mysterious mood every time I play it. Landikhan & Mira - Laika I have to thank John Digweed for introducing this track to me. I first heard it on his amazing Transitions radio show and have since played it out at many of my shows. I can see this being a track that lives in my sets all summer long.
