Blog - NextAid - the beats of our generation helping the next
March 6, 2008 | Filed Under Blog Posts |
The world of electronic music is far greater than nightclubs and parties and even transcends the ecstatic dance experience that in itself can change lives and consciousness.
People connecting at a grass roots level through dance music have the ability to raise dialogue about relevant issues, utilize their connection in music and dance as a form of protest , compose sound that alters people at a vibrational level and also to form communities and be able to raise funds to help those in need.
www.NextAid.org is a perfect example of an organization using the conscious dance community to provide sustainable solutions to communities in need.
This particular organization holds a particularly strong bond with us at Muti Music as it is involved in providing growth and support in our label and namesakes motherland ‘South Africa’, where the AIDS epidemic and the devastation of communities has left millions of children orphaned. For an introduction to NextAid and to hear how you can help them further please check out the promo video below featuring many of dance musics top figures including Kaskade, Mark Farina, J-Boogie, Louie Vega and more (you can also see Muti’s Dov DJing at their one benefit last year at the 2:20 minute mark in video).
