Preserve Techno Culture

Dear supporters, We’ve found a home!

R.A.V.E. is moving to Mühledorfstrasse 15 in Bern – right by the Bümpliz Nord railway underpass, centrally located and easy to reach by public transport or car.

In the spacious basement, over 200 square metres are being transformed into a space for culture, connection and music: a lounge with a small café area, a listening zone, a workshop and meeting space – and of course, the heart of it all, the collection itself.

The DJ Pure Collection is moving in! On Saturday, October 18, 2025, the records will be transported from Wynigen to Bern in a joint effort. A symbolic moment – and the beginning of a new era for Switzerland’s electronic music culture. We’re still looking for volunteers to help with the move or to join us in celebrating this historic day! All details and the registration form can be found here: 👉 https://www.swissrave.com/post/movingday

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.!

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

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!
