In light of the recent humanitarian disaster in Lebanon, which has seen the lives, homes and businesses of hundreds of lives, homes and businesses destroyed, Beatport Reconnect presents ’Together for Beirut’ – a fundraising partnership with Nicole Moudaber, WILD Tulum and Factory People.
While the world is still navigating the relentless challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, Lebanon has been struck with another unfathomable disaster, affecting hundreds of thousands of innocent people across the country. This catastrophic explosion has occurred during the most crippling economic crisis in modern times and has shaken the country to its core. With lives, homes, and businesses shattered, this horrific event has once again shown the resilience of the Lebanese people as they have united through yet another humanitarian disaster.
The dance music community has shown its dedication and determination to help those in need during these desperately difficult times, and once again calls on the uniting force of its nature to bring light during the darkest times.
Presented by Beatport, who has been at the forefront of the live streaming shift over the past few months, this fundraiser will aim to raise $250,000 for disaster relief, directly aiding those in dire need. The first phase of artists includes Techno heavyweights Anane, ANNA, Behrouz, Carl Cox, Chris Liebing, Damian Lazarus, Dubfire, John Digweed, Juliet Fox, Kaz James, Louie Vega, Luigi Madona, Nic Fanciulli, Nicole Moudaber, Paco Osuna, Pan-Pot, Sama’Abdulhadi, Victor Calderone, Victor Ruiz, Wehbba, and Yousef, with more to be announced. Nicole Moudaber will be playing both events and is ready to dive deep into her back catalogue to deliver two passionate performances, with every intention of bringing hope and positivity to those who need it the most.
