Each Mayday has a theme. Until 2013 it was composed by Members of Mayday, DJs WestBam and Klaus Jankuhn.[1]
Since 1998 Mayday (Germany) is supported by eve&rave Münster e.V. with drug-information-desks.
Although it played techno music in its early days, in recent years Mayday has opened up to new sounds, from hardstyle to house, trance and EDM.
