the why, what, & who
ABOUT
At DM4D, we leverage the power of dance music to get out the vote. All of our activities are centered around 2 things: dance music and the power of the people to choose their future for themselves (democracy). As part of these efforts, we conduct voter registration drives at dance music events and festivals, while also producing our own events. Our events feature some of the latest, greatest, and best OG DJ acts on the planet, with the help of industry and artist friends like LA legend Kristina Sky. Some of our events may even be free. All we ever ask of attendees at our events is a donation to help us continue to support the increasingly fine line sustaining each of our individual freedoms to be who we are and express that how we choose: our democratic institutions.
THIS IS THE
RHYTHM OF
