Almost two weeks ago, the capital of Lebanon was struck with an 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. The country while battling the COVID-19 pandemic has been drastically affected due to this humanitarian disaster which has seen the lives, homes, and businesses of hundreds of lives, homes, and businesses destroyed. 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.

Nicole Moudaber stated:

“These fundraising events will provide much-needed relief and support to the people of Beirut and the many affected by the recent tragedy. Officials estimate the explosion caused up to $15 billion (£11.5bn) of damage. International financial aid and support have been overwhelming, but it’s not enough. We must support in any way we can to help, and in addition, our efforts will also be helping the music and arts industry of Lebanon which has been wiped out.”
