In addition to DJ sets, the event will feature educational segments about mental health and wellness led by experts in the field. 

BEATPORT CEO ROBB MCDANIELS said, “These are trying times for our industry. Now more than ever taking care of ourselves - our minds, our wellbeing and, the wellbeing of others, is truly vital. Mental health has been one of the most talked about topics in our industry for years, and this is a global topic that should continue to be discussed and destigmatized. Everyone at BEATPORT takes this topic very seriously and will continue to bring visibility to it.” 

WHEN THE MUSIC STOPS Founder JOSHUA DONALDSON added, “With loneliness, depression, and suicide on the rise, BEATPORT is becoming a leader in normalizing these conversations. WHEN THE MUSIC STOPS is honored to collaborate on such a powerful initiative. These issues affect all races and all religions. Together we can make an impact and let people know ‘You Are Not Alone’. We will continue to do everything we can to be there for you, we understand and relate to your struggles.”  

And SILENTMODE/BREATHONICS Founder BRADLEY DOWDING-YOUNG said, “It’s really important that brands with true impact recognize the importance of mental health awareness, potential triggers and ways in which we can all come together to provide solutions. BEATPORT have been working hard to put together this special event which can sensibly approach the conversation within the most vulnerable groups of society; we at SILENTMODE really commend that and are thankful to be able to bring a solution for those that need it.”
