Dr. Motte on the Social Role of Alcohol in Techno Culture

Dr. Motte, co-founder of Loveparade, spoke critically about the role of alcohol in society. He warns that alcohol can destroy not only parties but entire societies. In his view, alcohol consumption is incompatible with techno culture, which should emphasize safety and protection.

In his statements, Dr. Motte emphasizes that techno clubs should serve as safe spaces, where there is no place for intoxicated individuals. He describes alcohol consumption as uncontrolled and reckless, which he believes jeopardizes the character of these events. Responsible handling of alcohol is therefore essential.
