History

The first edition of this event took place in 1995 at Vooruit in Ghent and attracted 700 people. The line-up included Dave Clarke, Jeff Mills and Daft Punk. Because of the sudden growth of the party, the event had to move to Flanders Expo. At this venue there is one central room connected to five others in which the action takes place: Red, Yellow, Blue, Orange and Green.

The 2008 edition took place on 15 November, with acts including Boys Noize, Justice, Digitalism, Hot Chip, Booka Shade, Underworld, Richie Hawtin and Magda. The 2009 edition took place in Ghent on 24 October. The most recent editions each attracted about 40,000 visitors from Belgium, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, France, Ireland, Spain and Germany as well other parts of Europe and the rest of the world.

BBC Made 3 series:

VH1 series

VH1 produced a USA version of the series of this show for American television, beginning in 2002 with I Love the '80s. The programs consist of celebrities discussing American pop culture that relate to the program's overall topic. The series continued with programs focusing on decades, such as I Love the '70s, as well as doing sequels to previously done decades, such as I Love the '80s Strikes Back. 2008 featured the premiere of I Love the New Millennium, the first series to be completed before the end of the decade presented. The series has so far released two programs that were not focused on decades, with I Love Toys and I Love the Holidays. The use of the word "love" instead of the heart symbol was presumably to avoid a trademark dispute with the state of New York, owners of the I♥ trademark in the United States.
