DANCE (RED) Uses Dance Music To Save Lives

Join forces with Tiesto, Calvin Harris, Deadmau5, and Stereosonic to fight AIDS in Africa. All you have to do is dance.

What if by dancing you could help save lives? What if by participating in something you already love (the global dance music culture) you could also be doing something good for millions of people in Africa?

That is the premise behind DANCE (RED) SAVE LIVES, a campaign from the non-profit organization (RED) that is mobilizing DJs, producers and dance music fans to create an AIDS free generation in Africa. We're so into their mission that we've partnered with them to help spread the message. Before you say "Whatever!," first know that apathy is, like, totally out in 2014 and also listen up to see how it works. We're sure you'll be pretty amazed at everything they've put together for you that you already wanted anyway.

Every time you party with DANCE (RED), proceeds help provide medicine to people living with HIV/AIDS throughout sub-Saharan Africa, where 9.7 million people are already on AIDS medication.

So how can you get involved? Well, if you want to be the first to own brand new tracks from Calvin Harris, Tiesto, Deadmau5, Benny Benassi, Baauer, and even Madonna, then buy the DANCE (RED) SAVE LIVES2compilation, which dropped JUST NOW on iTunes. 100% of the proceeds from the compilation go straight to this fight, so you can party for a good cause. Last year, this record was the top-selling dance music album on iTunes in 33 countries because of all the bonkers tracks on there. A tracklisting for this year's compilation is below.

If dancing is REALLY your thing, then bust a move already. Some of the biggest dance squads in the world have joined forces with Coca-Cola to help support the cause. Download a brand new remix from Empire of the Sun and Tommy Trash, upload a video of your dance moves to Instagram and tag #CokeREDMoves, and Coca-Cola will donate to the fund.

And finally, join us later in the month for an epic livestream from Australia's hugest festival, Stereosonic. On November 30 and December 1 (World AIDS Day), we'll be broadcasting from the main stages of the event for two straight days, featuring sets from all the hugest dance music artists in the whole wild world.
