Been so busy setting this up and the main site, www.feelthedream.org has been going through some birth pangs as a result.
A lot of people I've met have said it just wasn't clear enough… we hope we've made that much better now. One stirling chap has suggested this as a good, direct 'Call To Action' for DJs, it might be better than what's there already… I'd like to know what you think…
Anyway, it goes like this;
250 DJs, one track, all around the world
Help celebrate Martin Luther King and Amnesty International
Are you a DJ? Know a DJ? Run a club night? Playing out next week?
Get in on a global celebration on the 'I Have A Dream' anniversary
Here's what you do:
- Next weekend, when you're playing your normal set…
- …slip in a chunk of Martin Luther King's "I Have A Dream" speech…[Larry Heard's "Can You Feel It?" includes a huge, long sample of the speech... so you can just play that]
- Enjoy the tingle down your spine as you hear the words …"FREE AT LAST!……WE ARE FREE AT LAST!"
- Think 'Wow… there are people all over the world playing this track and thinking… Wow.'
- Print out these exclusive FeelTheDream/AmnestyInternational flyers, to give maximum spine-tingle-age to the crowd.
….and there's more……
Thursday night, 28th August, is the 45th Anniversary of 'Martin Luther King's 'I Have A Dream' speech.
DJs on every continent will be incorporating the speech into their sets (either Larry Heard's "Can You Feel It?", or the whole speech, or their own mix of it…).
"The event is meant to be a reminder - to remind us how incredible it is that we get to go to night clubs, that we get to dance with each other…that we have that kind of freedom," said RN of the FeelTheDream campaign. "Amnesty International and its members do amazing work every day fighting injustice, torture, political oppression. We wanted to give the people we go out with - wherever they are in the world - a nudge to get involved with AI. Not out of desperation, but as a positive celebration: out of their gratitude and gladness for the freedoms we enjoy."
Wadya reckon???? I could think of a few changes but it seems a good idea….
Where should I put it?
Prey Tell?
