We have reached the first milestone – a huge thank you!By R.A.V.E., on 03/09/2025

Dear supporters and friends, We are truly moved: thanks to you, we’ve reached the first stage! Whether you were with us from the very first minute or gave us incredible support in the final hours – every single contribution matters. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for this powerful sign of solidarity.

We are excited to soon find out, for example, who our official partners will be.

Since we still have a bit of time left, we want to use this opportunity to set a new stretch goal:

We don’t just want to secure the collection, but also make it as accessible as possible. For that, we need:

  • an A3 scanner to digitize vinyls and covers
  • a secondhand computer to professionally catalogue the archive

With the help of AI and automation, we will build a truly unique digital catalogue. This will help us move faster with processing the first major vinyl collection and make it available for DJs, fans, researchers, and journalists.

Let’s use the last hours to keep mobilizing – together, we can take this project to the next level!

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts – you are R.A.V.E.!

Update – three quarters reached, now the final pushBy R.A.V.E., on 31/08/2025

Read update

We are overwhelmed. Thanks to more than two hundred supporters we have already reached three quarters of our funding goal. A huge thank you to all of you – without your passion and your trust, none of this would have been possible.

The good news is that the vinyls are already half packed – a first step before moving them to their new home at R.A.V.E. A video will follow.

But now we need your energy once more. Mobilize your friends. Share the project again on social media. Tell everyone about this unique chance to preserve techno culture for the future.

We are convinced. Together we will make it to the finish line. Your R.A.V.E. Team

A quarter reached – thanks to you!By R.A.V.E., on 15/08/2025

Wow – we’re overwhelmed! After only a quarter of the campaign time, we’ve already reached our first milestone thanks to nearly 100 supporters: a quarter of the project goal is funded. Even though the project isn’t physically in place yet, the backing grows every day. More and more former and current top DJs and organisers from that era are joining as honorary members – you’ll soon find them on https://swissrave.com/team.

Your support shows us: Switzerland’s techno culture matters to many. If every supporter now brings in three more people, we can make this happen together!

Let’s preserve this cultural treasure – for us, for the scene, for the future.

Thank you for being part of it!
