Stay home and share music. This is how these DJs have been using the internet to share their talents in order to bring people together.
Many citizens are using their talents and expertise to uplift us, so that Filipinos at home can be a part of something together. The fantastic thing about the internet these days is that it allows us to bring people together without having to leave home!
Here is a list of DJs from collectives or as individuals all of whom have a bright passion for music. These music makers have decided to use their talents to bring positivity and happiness into our homes. For that, we thank them!
Take a look at what they have been up to, as of late:
UNKNWN.From Home
UNKNWN.From Home is a series of livestreams from DJ performances that you can watch on Facebook Live from the comfort of your home. “Every week, we ask a DJ to not only perform a set but to also select a nonprofit of their choice for as long as that nonprofit is providing relief to Filipinos who are suffering from the COVID-19 crisis,” shares Katrina Razon, UNKNWN's creative director.
When asked what inspired the UNKNWN team to do this project Katrina passionately explained that their “scene is built on inclusion and community. As social animals, we connect through music. When you take the social aspect out of the equation (since we’re practicing physical distancing by staying at home), it often leaves us feeling lost - making us crave authentic experiences and connections even more than ever before."
DJ Emel Rowe who is also UNKNWN's event producer and the first DJ from the collective to kick-off the live streaming project said he was more than happy to share his set live because “music has always been a passion of mine and being able to share something that is helping us get through all of this is my way of contributing something positive.”
