November is quickly approaching, and that means it's almost time for our nation's most important general election. Today, live streaming channel Lost Resort TV has announced the debut of Rave The Vote, a multi-episode voter registration and fundraising digital event aimed to rally the dance music community around the pillars of change and unity.
The event will be hosted exclusively on Twitch across four twelve hour episodes on July 24th, August 14th, September 11th, and October 2nd. Rave The Vote has gathered some of the most credible names in electronic music alongside community leaders with a shared ethos of motivating viewers to register to vote and donate to the Movement for Black Lives
The mission behind Rave the Vote is to get members of the EDM community to focus their efforts and attention towards the pillars of change and unity by encouraging them to register to vote. To do so, they've enlisted a lineup curated to represent our nation's diverse and deep-rooted history in dance and hip-hop music.
Featured are artists widely considered to be founding members of the dance community, including Inner City, Carl Craig, Louie Vega, DJ Pierre, DJ Heather, and DJ Minx. They will be joined by the next generation of house and techno, like The Black Madonna, Seth Troxler, Yaeji, and Soul Clap, among others.
Tech house fans can look forward to sets from Justin Martin, SOFI TUKKER, Walker & Royce, Ardalan, VNSSA, and more. Leading the way on the live vocal and hip-hop front are DJ Jazzy Jeff, Aluna, Leven Kali, Kaleena Zanders, Cakes Da Killa, Nina Dioz, pineappleCITI, and Kofi. Further notable artists on the lineup include Nosaj Thing, TOKiMONSTA, Vindata, and UNIIQU3.
Rave The Vote is a collaborative project by INFAMOUS PR, 2+2 Management, Lost Resort TV and Soul Clap.
