Berlin DJs campaigning for Unesco status

From Morning Report, 8:55 am on 7 December 2021

Techno DJs in Berlin are campaigning to save their culture, by getting Unesco heritage status.

Berlin has a strong relationship with the electronic dance music - it became the soundtrack to reunification in a city that has become famous for its party scene.

However, DJs say this is now under threat due to Covid-19 and gentrification - but Unesco heritage could help.

Campaigners DJ Alan Oldham spoke to Susie Ferguson.
