Once a year Paris goes Dance music crazy for 24 hours when the Techno Parade takes to the streets. This year 19 floats will be crossing Paris each blasting out dance-floor sounds mixed on board by local and international DJs. Once the parade comes to it’s destination the party continues in many of the clubs around the city. This year Awdio has been invited to the party, not on a float but on all 19! Each float’s sound-system will be recorded and available just for you on Awdio and the official Techno Parade closing party featuring some top talent will be live on Awdio on the night of the 25th. This is set to be absolutely massive!
