Paris will host the Techno parade

On September 17, 2011 in the capital of France will be held a grand scale event - Paris Techno Parade. About 20 carnival platforms with DJs and musicians playing techno will travel from the Denfert Rochereau square in Montparnasse to the Place de la Bastille, where will be held the main techno party.

On several large scenes more than hundred of DJs during the evening and night will perform their best tracks in Drum & Bass, Techno, House and Trance styles. The expected number of visitors is 400,000 people. This year are expected performances of such well-known DJs and musicians as: Eddie Fowlks DJ Set (City Boy / Detroit Wax, Detroit - USA), Detroit Grand Pubahs Live (Detelefunk, Detroit, USA), Geoff K DJ (Paris-FR) , Master Seb DJ (Affolaï, Paris-FR). After the concert on the Place de la Bastille the main events and performers will move to the numerous clubs and discos, where the fun will continue until early morning.

Paris Techno Parade is a part of the Rendez vous électroniques festival of electronic music and will be held for the 13th time. In addition to the promotion of techno music and searching for talented young musicians, Rendez vous électroniques aims to unite young people of different races, colors, religions, creating an environment of multiculturalism and tolerance towards each other.

Paris Techno Parade is also related to the wide dissemination and popularization of such modern dance as Tecktonik. Originally, this name comes from name of the Tecktonik Killer party, which had been held in the "Metropolis" night club in the suburbs of Paris in 2000. However, for the first time the dance was known only in small circles. This situation changed dramatically on September 15, 2007, when in Paris was held the Techno Parade. At this festival Tecktonik saw a lot of people, and thanks to the wide dissemination through video sharing services like YouTube, tecktonik gained popularity worldwide and has received a lot of new fans.
