On Sunday 26^th April  DJs For Climate Action will broadcast the largest global back-to-back B2B set on record, with over 100 DJs playing live from more than 50 cities worldwide in celebration of the third annual EARTH NIGHT. Originally planned as a weekend of parties in nightclubs around the world to honour the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day, DJs4CA will host a day-long live broadcast DJ relay, demonstrating the music community’s ongoing dedication to addressing the climate crisis during the COVID-19 pandemic. In conjunction with Club House, Haute To Death, and other EARTH NIGHT affiliated “teleparties” scheduled that week.  The Sunday B2B will serve as DJs4CA’s main event.

Here is a custom google map showing locations of where artists are playing from.

EARTH NIGHT is a global initiative harnessing the energy of nightlife to generate positive climate action. Since its inception in 2018, EARTH NIGHT has engaged the participation of artists like Mija, Soul Clap, Jamie Jones, Little Boots, A-Trak, plus many more. Last year EARTH NIGHT organized 8 events worldwide attended by 3000 people, and curated an eclectic compilation featuring nearly 60 new tracks collectively raising $20,000 for beneficiaries working towards climate solutions.

With the coronavirus forcing a shift from clubs to living-rooms, the goal this year is to focus more on fun, spectacle, and global engagement rather than on fundraising. The B2B livestream will highlight organizations doing important climate work and drive viewers to earthnight.org for opportunities to take further action.  DJs4CA views this moment as an opportunity to reflect on the nature of the nightlife industry pre-coronavirus, and draw wisdom from a period without touring, festivals, and clubbing to envision new, more sustainable ways forward. Artists include:  Blond:ish, Doorly, Soul Clap, DJ Holographic, Cosmo Baker, Louisaahhh!!!, The Whooligan, Mr. V, Nickodemus, Moullinex , Da Chick, Fred Everything, JKriv, DJ Raff Plus many more.

On April 19th, DJs for Climate Action (DJS4CA) present the second annual EARTH NIGHT; an initiative harnessing the energy of the global nightlife scene to raise awareness and funds for climate action. Taking place in the week leading up to Earth Day, the team will release an impressive music compilation and sponsor parties in Brooklyn, Berlin and beyond to shine light on the challenge facing our planet and the unique role musicians can play.

This year DJS4CA launch EARTH NIGHT RECORDS with a compilation that gathers new music from over 50 artists from 12 countries including Simon Meija (Bomba Estereo), Infinity Ink, Nicola Cruz, Little Boots, and many others. It will become available for pre-order exclusively through Bandcamp starting March 11th, and tracks will drop every week leading up to the full release on 4/19.

To show our support for such an important initiative, we are sharing one of the songs from the compilation today. By happy chance, it just so happens to be from Boltings Bits fave Bosq! Titled “Many Hands,” the Colombian-based maestro describes this tune as, “[…] a mix of rhythms and styles from around the world, and a representation of many simple pieces coming together to create a solution even when the setbacks mean you have to start over and rebuild again […]”

Poignant, yet resolute, this quote not only encapsulates the feel of the track but also represents the valiant efforts of the DJs and organizers from around the globe who are joining forces to raise awareness around climate change – hopefully compelling governments and corporations alike to implement solutions to solve this imminent problem. Having launched just last year, you can rest assured that this will not be the last EARTH NIGHT and that DJS4CA are going to keep fighting the good fight until this battle is won!
