Following on from the huge success of last month's Set For Love campaign, the charity Last Night A DJ Saved My Life (LNADJ) have announced a second DJthon fundraiser this weekend, the Set For Love Weekender, headlined by Carl Cox and Eats Everything. With back up from the likes of Ibiza stalwarts Nightmares on Wax, Louie Vega, Mark Farina, Simon Dunmore and many more lending their support, this is another chance to take part in the world's largest simultaneous DJ event.
Over £60,000 was raised for the charity's COVID-19 Emergency Appeal from May's Set For Love campaign, in which more than 1000 DJs, from 50 countries, took part - the first event of its kind in bringing the DJ community of all levels together. LNADJ provides relief to vulnerable families in developing countries, where the consequences of lockdown are still just as bad if not worse, with people facing hunger and with no benefits or furlough systems to turn to. The money raised will be used to provide food parcels, fresh water and sanitation supplies in parts of Uganda, Nepal, Tanzania and Indonesia.
Carl Cox said “I am really looking forward to playing alongside my peers and to creating a very special musical journey for Set For Love, it feels good to do this for the cause of helping others, with our passion to share. See you all out there. Oh yes!”
Eats Everything said, “Playing on line-ups with Carl is special every time, I never expected to be doing it ever, let alone from halfway around the world but it is lovely to be involved in such an inclusive concept such as Set For Love.”
The headline sets will be hosted daily on the Last Night A DJ Saved My Life Facebook page from 7pm CEST through to 1am on Friday 19, Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 June. They can also be viewed on DanceTelevision social channels and the artists own channels. The weekend includes a Wax Da Jam showcase on the Saturday.
