Covering the glitz, glamour and controversy in the music industry drives traffic and gets hits, but it is important to also highlight good deeds that are happening throughout the space. A new company, Zenter Music, which launched in November 2014, acts as conduit for the dance music community to the charitable space by being an events company, promoter and record label, while also connecting with charities and donating funds to that cause. Each month, Zenter chooses one charitable organization to donate 50% of its earnings to and in January, it chose French medicinal organization, Medicines Sans Frontiers (Doctors Without Borders). It has also teamed up with some large labels and DJs to include a large prize giveaway to those who donate to the organization.
There are a lot of different prizes including software bundles and merchandise packages like Reason 8, FL Studio, isotope Stutter Edit, Sylenth1, T-shirt from Knife Party, signed poster from Pegboard Nerds, a Circus Records merchandise buncle, which includes the most recent compilation album, sticker pack and medium sweatshirt and many other prizes.
The full bundle can be seen in the photo below.
The rules to enter are simple:
- Donate to Doctors Without Borders
- Screenshot the donation
- Post your screenshot on Twitter with the hashtag #ZenterMusic
- The winner will be chosen randomly from the 50 highest donations
The winner will be announced Jan. 31, 2015 via EDM.com.
