Around 6,000 DJs are expected to play a set for the simultaneous live stream set and local talent is being called upon to broadcast a ‘Set For Love’ - the brainchild of the LNADJ charity.

The 72-hour extravaganza is being backed by music industry heavyweights such as Mixcloud and Nightmares On Wax.

The dance music marathon will see DJs simultaneously get in the mix and stream live from 12am (GMT) on Friday May 8 until midnight (GMT) on Sunday May 10.

Jonny Lee, Founder of LNADJ said: “The idea for ‘Set for Love’ Live Streams has been born out of the adversity our partners in developing countries are facing during these challenging and unprecedented times.

"We work with organisations helping the most vulnerable and they have been drastically affected by lockdown. In some of these communities, a day without work means a day without food.

“In this current moment, we were able to contemplate the most effective and simple way for LNADJ and the dance music community to come together and make an urgently needed difference in such a beautiful way.

"We’re calling on DJs of all levels across Blackpool, whether amateur or professional, to get involved. The same goes for promoters, record labels and all involved within the electronic music industry locally. Whether you’re streaming to thousands of fans or your friends and family, you really can make a difference.

Just £20 can feed a family in Uganda for a month.”

LNADJ can reveal that Mixcloud, Point Blank, Loopmasters, Loopcloud, Audiolock, Brighton Music Conference, Data Transmission, Funktion One, DanceTV, Izotope and Mixmasters are amongst those backing the campaign already.

‘Set For Love’ as the LNADJ charity initiative is widely known, is already gaining rapid interest from Australia to Ibiza.

After originally launching at Las Dalias in Ibiza 2019, Set For Love featured 30 of the island’s most popular resident DJs donating a set for charitable causes. All of the money raised from tickets went to building freshwater wells in India and Africa.
