We are Rave The Planet
Our mission, our Vision, our Team
Rave The Planet symbolizes the love for electronic music, the fun in life and, simultaneously, international understanding, diversity, open-mindedness and respect. We are a non-profit limited company based in Berlin and dedicated to the spirit and culture of electronic music. Our initiators are artists, ravers, entrepreneurs — and above all Dr. Motte, also known as the inventor of the Love Parade.
Our aim is to preserve, maintain, protect and develop the art and culture of electronic music in all its forms. That’s why we are creating a new platform to raise public and political awareness, as well as to provide updated information on the reality of our culture. Because we believe that electronic music is a special cultural asset in urgent need of preservation, our goal is to make it generally comprehensible for everyone while at the same time fostering understanding among nations and peoples. This is why we are standing up to appeal that electronic music culture be included on the
UNESCO List of Intangible Cultural Heritage.
In our belief that the protection of culture is a serious issue for us all, we want to encourage people to create free spaces and areas for personal development while at the same time protecting those which already exist. By using eye-catching and effective activities, offers and campaigns, we intend to present this topic to the general public. With Rave The Planet, our aim is to also create a platform for individuality, self-development and self-realization. We actively live the sense of community and togetherness.
Whether for organizers, DJs, live acts, producers, label owners, dancers or music lovers — we enable networking and synergies where everyone can join in and everyone is welcome. At Rave The Planet, creators and connoisseurs of culture all come together.
Our dream is of a happy society filled with music and we would like an official holiday for the celebration of our electronic music culture. We want to unite all the people of the world under its large and colorful umbrella. Our goal is world peace.

“Every city needs art and culture to breathe. Private and public owners should be motivated to create space for them. The legislature must understand that constantly stricter rules on the use of space are directly opposed to art and culture. This inevitably leads to higher costs. A fundamental rethink is needed.”
