7 yrs ago, Resident advisor released a 18min short doc. called Real Scenes: Berlin
When the Berlin Wall came down in 1989, techno became the underground soundtrack to the reunion between East and West. In recent years, it’s become an international destination for ravers—a cheap place to party with clubs that are renowned throughout the world. Techno has become a business in the meantime.
