\n
Berlin’s techno music culture has been added to UNESCO’s cultural heritage list in what has been described as “another milestone” for the genre.<\/p>\n
The subculture was one of six new additions to the list, announced by the German UNESCO Commission on Wednesday, which said it had been an “important sound” for the capital for more than 30 years.<\/p>\n
Charity, Rave The Planet, which led the campaign to get the culture recognised, said: “Thanks to all cultural creators who shaped this #culture. This is a major milestone & our joy is beyond words!”<\/p>\n
Being on the list will make it easier for clubs to be maintained and artists to overcome “hurdles imposed by legislature”.<\/p>\n
Access to government subsidies and charitable funding also becomes easier with UNESCO status, the charity said.<\/p>\n

Berlin<\/strong>‘s Clubcommission, a network of techno club and event promoters, added: “This another milestone for Berlin techno producers, artists, club operators and event organisers.<\/p>\n
“The decision will help us ensure that club culture is recognised as a valuable sector worthy of protection and support.”<\/p>\n
The organisation thanked specific techno producers from Detroit in the US who made a “significant contribution” to the creation and the spread of the culture.<\/p>\n
Techno’s popularity grew in Germany<\/strong> after the fall of the Berlin Wall with abandoned sites such as power plants and factories providing the setting for clubbers to musically express their freedom.<\/p>\n
Differing from DJ culture that emerged before the German UNESCO Commission said the culture “became the soundtrack of the spirit of optimism after reunification”.<\/p>\n
