In the electronic dance music genre, Laid Back Luke, a Filipino DJ born in Manila and based in Netherlands, is also making his waves. His performances and music releases have achieved a mainstream following to the point that he will be headlining in this year's Lovevolution together with 5 time Grammy nominee US artist/DJ, Moby and Top German Trance DJ, Mark Schulz.
Body Rock was one of Moby's popular hits that was nominated in the US Grammies.

Love Parade
Love Parades are annual dance and music festivals that originated after the fall of the Berlin wall in 1989. The festival is aimed at promoting unity in diversity, respect and love around the world.
There were several years when the festivals were suspended because of their wild uncontrollable success. In 2003, German authorities temporarily suspended production permits to host the event. This is when organizers arranged for a North American production. When German organizers were able to secure permits back in Berlin, North American organizers decided to continue their own sister event and dubbed it the LoveFest 2004, changing the name in 2009 to LovEvolution.
The Wild Success of Love Parades
In July 2010, a total of 1.4 million attended the Love Parade in Germany. Producers did not prepare and expect that the attendees would reach these heights. The unexpected crowd rush at the Love Parade caused the death of 21 people, with at least 500 others injured. As a result, the German version of the festival was temporarily cancelled.
Love Evolution 2011
San Francisco was where the US version of the Love Parade first originated in 2004. In order to have more control over the event, they eventually had to move to a bigger more managable area the from San Francisco site.
This year's LovEvolution will take place in Oakland which is 30 minutes away from San Francisco.
This year's LovEvolution 2011 Dance Music Parade and Festival culmination day will be hosted at the O.co Coliseum and Oracle Arena in Oakland, California on Saturday, September 24, 2011.
