Popis: Universe’s Tribal Gathering 1994, second of its kind, brought together some 25 000 people in a disused 1930s airport outside Munich. Ravers had come from all over the world to dance all night to the sounds of ‘superstar’ DJs, each with expertise in a particular house dance-music idiom: Carl Cox, British stalwart of European techno and house, Laurent Gamier, France’s finest techno spinner, Holland’s Miss Djax, whose dialect is hard acid, etc. At an early stage in the event ‘a most spectacular occurrence [was] witnessed: a melting together of 8,000. to 10,000 bodies all with hands held in the air’ (Koehler, 1994, p. 50).
