Some of the world's top DJs have announced a new collaboration dedicated to the victims of this year's Love Parade tragedy. Paul Oakenfold, Armin van Buuren and Paul van Dyk have recorded a new song, Remember Love, with proceeds going to those affected by the stampede in Duisburg, Germany.

"I think this is the first time this has ever been done in the dance scene, to give back, to help people," Oakenfold said. "In many other music genres, artists come together, like Live Aid and after the Haiti disaster. We should do something [too]." The project began with Oakenfold, who wrote the song's basic structure and then spent the past month co-producing with Van Buuren and Van Dyk. "I thought it was a good idea to have England, Holland and Germany coming together," he said. "Love Parade [represented] a big part of the essence of the dance movement."

Twenty-one people died and dozens were injured after panic broke out at this year's Love Parade festival in Germany. Hundreds of people stampeded toward an entrance tunnel when police began turning festivalgoers away. Organisers have announced that the annual event, which began as a Berlin peace march in 1989, will not take place again.

"In its last years outside Berlin, the vibe of the Love Parade was a far cry from its original spirit," said Van Dyk, who has performed several times at the festival. "With Remember Love, we want to recapture the essence of Love Parade and try to assist those who suffered."

The single will go on sale on 11 September, initially available exclusively on Beatport. According to Oakenfold, Remember Love offers his signature "melodicism", Van Buuren's "emotion and movement" and "the energy and uplifting touch that no one does better than Paul van Dyk". Proceeds will go to the Association of Non-statutory Welfare in North Rhine-Westphalia Germany, which launched a campaign to benefit the families and victims affected by the July 24 tragedy.
