Beatport, the world\u2019s leading destination for electronic music, today announced that its 34-hour live stream \u201cReConnect\u201d in partnership with Twitch, raised more than $180,000 for the WHO\u2019s\u00a0COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund<\/a>, and the\u00a0AFEM Members\u2019 COVID-19 Hardship Fund<\/a>. Set up specifically to administer donations from this event to help struggling AFEM member companies retain lower earning workers who would otherwise be let go, and to direct funds to individuals within the membership in most need of urgent financial help. Donations are still being accepted here:\u00a0https:\/\/tiltify.com\/@beatport\/reconnect<\/a><\/p>\n

Beginning on Friday, March 27th, this global DJ extravaganza featured an A-list line up from the world of electronic dance music, with artists including Carl Cox, Bonobo, Pete Tong, Nina Kraviz, Griz, R\u00dcF\u00dcS\u00a0 DU SOL, A-Trak, Nicole Moudaber, Chris Liebing, ANNA, Nora En Pure and many other renowned DJs performing from their homes, with the expressed intention of reconnecting the global dance community during this unprecedented pandemic crisis.<\/p>\n

Amassing over 8.5 million views from more than 150 countries across Beatport.com and Beatport\u2019s Twitch and social channels, and over 6,200 donors, this unparalleled online DJ event provided the perfect platform for music fans to dance away their isolation blues for the very best of causes. In addition to partnering with Twitch, Beatport collaborated with several industry partners including Pioneer DJ, Native Instruments and Denon to give away dozens of music products to viewers.
\n\u201cWe are deeply grateful for all the talented artists and their teams that made the ReConnect event possible, and equally impressed with the dedication and passion shown by the global electronic music community that tuned in for over 34 hours this past weekend to reconnect with their favorite DJs\u201d,\u00a0<\/em>commented\u00a0Robb McDaniels, Beatport\u2019s CEO.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cThe generosity of our entire community, including so many great industry partners that donated products to give away, is what resulted in a large donation to two non-profits that can ensure the health and stability of our world and our industry in the months to come.\u201d<\/em>
\n\u201cA huge THANK YOU to all involved in delivering this epic event and to everyone who made a donation. The phenomenal response from the electronic music community has shown a glimpse of what we can achieve through collective passion for our scene to support, connect and inspire each other with acts of generosity, innovation, love and unity. AFEM will ensure everyone\u2019s generosity reaches those members in most need of urgent financial help and the\u00a0World Health Organization (WHO) global efforts to\u00a0prevent, detect, and respond to the COVID-19 pandemic\u201d.\u00a0<\/em>commented\u00a0Greg Marshall, General Manager, AFEM (Association For Electronic Music)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The leading donor was Pioneer DJ with an incredibly generous private contribution, as well as many products to giveaway during the livestream. There were also generous donations from Landr and Loopmasters.<\/p>\n

As well as providing a 34 hour feast for the ears, Beatport provided track IDs as songs were played on Twitch, so fans could purchase music live, supporting the independent artist and label community directly.<\/p>\n

The ReConnect event was powered by Beatport\u2019s Creative Services team, who will be bringing more exciting initiatives, live stream and festival alternatives to the DJ and electronic music communities throughout 2020.<\/p>\n
