This Is How 33 DJs on Multiple Continents Came Together to Livestream For COVID-19 Relief
At a time when real world connection is scarce, Beatport’s livestream event, ReConnect, redefined how to unite the worldwide dance scene. Taking place March 27-28, the event raised more than $185,000, with funds going to various COVID-19 relief non-profits.In their rapid deployment 24-hour music livestream event -- which of course included an afterparty livestream -- Beatport discovered that having DJs such as Todd Terry, Rüfüs du Sol and Nina Kraviz spinning in their studios and homes might be more engaging than DJs livestreaming from an IRL music festival.
