On July 4th, 2024, nine local DJs from Idaho Falls and surrounding areas converged on a small parcel of residential land on the west side of Idaho Falls. These DJs come from wildly different backgrounds and influences. Yet, each one of them took the time out of their busy holiday schedule to play some music for a noble cause: Children International.
Below you will find video and images that I took while managing the event. Feel free to download any images you want and share the videos wherever you want.
As you scroll down, you’ll be experiencing the line up as it happened. Each slot was 1.5 hours in length. The live stream was streamed to both Mixcloud and Twitch. We had support from Atlantic Progression (from whom an AFTERPARTY special was broadcast) and The Gem in Idaho Falls. There was tremendous support from everybody involved. We had lots of wonderful friends and guests show up in person. There was a makeshift toilet. And, there was plenty of food and beer. It was a hell of a time.
How Much Money Was Raised for Children International?
About $300. This is a rough estimate from the charity. We ran into an issue where only the QR code donation link was tracking donations. $25 was donated via QR. However, I’ve had multiple people tell me that they donated via the traditional link and I know for a fact that there was a $100 donation made. Anyways, I was told that we very likely raised around $300 for this fundraiser. It wasn’t what I was hoping for, but, it’s still something and we spread awareness. We also had a good fucking time doing it.
MASSIVE THANK YOU goes out to Weird Science, Braindead, Todd Bakeo, KNNY, Partnerz in Grime, Psyche, Pablo, Paul Melton, Mindshower, Dean Savage, Brian Swacina, The Gem, Atlantic Progression, and, most importantly, my wonderful parents for your generous and unwavering support. I cannot express how much all of you mean to me. From the bottom of my heart — πππ
