# The Death of Rave: panel discussions from CTM.13
# Since 1999, [**CTM Festival**][1]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"} has been taking place in Berlin concurrently and cooperatively with the **[transmediale festival][2]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"}** of art and digital culture.
It brings contemporary electronic and experimental music to the city and
has grown to become one of the most anticipated annual events in Europe.
Electronic Beats took part in the discourse strand of this year's
festival, and we are pleased to present the audio recordings from one of
those now. **The Death of Rave** was a two-part discussion, conceived
and curated by CTM's **Annie Goh**, which took place on February 1,
2013, and examined the 'life' and 'death' the rave phenomena after its
20+ year history in both the UK and Berlin, respectively, and was part
of The Death of Rave/Rave Undead series of day and night-program events
at CTM.13.
