A note from RA’s founders:
Since the beginning, RA has existed with one core purpose: to support local scenes. This has been our guiding star for nearly two decades, informing the decisions we make every day. In the midst of a scary, unpredictable moment, one that is drastically changing the lives of millions of people around the world, our scene is facing the most challenging period in its history.
The world of electronic music is shaped not only by artists and fans, but by thousands of small, independently run organisations and self-employed individuals, from clubs and booking agents to artists and promoters. These are passionate people with the goal of making a meaningful contribution to electronic music. Our scene depends on this network of groups and individuals and the contribution they make.
The events caused by the COVID-19 pandemic have dire consequences for the hundreds of thousands of people who give so much to keep our culture alive. There is hope, however, that we, the dance music community, can work together to find the ideas that positively impact the future of independent music for decades to come. As the world’s norms are flipped, we hope this moment fuels countless new ideas and collaborations. This has shown how precarious our industry was. We can seize on this moment to make something that works better for everyone.
We feel a deep sense of gratitude for being part of this community and want to do everything we can at this moment to help it survive this existential threat.
By working together, we believe we can help save our scene.
What is Save Our Scene?
Save Our Scene is an open source campaign focused on creating awareness and resources to keep the independent electronic music scene alive during the COVID-19 crisis. Please feel free to use the name, assets or hashtag below for any initiatives that relate to our community.

The Importance of Vinyl Records
Remember the old ways of sharing music? Are you the generation that grew up listening to CD’s and cassettes? Well, in the past few years as vinyl sales were growing, the CD sales where declining three times faster. Nowadays from vinyl sales the industry has earned $224.1 million, just in 2019.
Vinyl records are now important as an Egyptian mummy in a museum.
Vinyl records are the best, because some of the formats made for a broadcast as an MP3s are missed and turn up to be with a bad sound. As for the records, they have a far more better sound quality than technology could ever achieve to make.Vinyl records are mostly used by producers for rock music and jazz. But, today DJ’s also use them to mix music, make something original and sophisticated. While, keeping the old way of listening to music, new concepts and ways are invented every single day by using the same old ways with new technology. There is nothing better than listening to music with good quality. Listening to a vinyl record is like viewing Van Gogh’s work, instead of a picture painted in Photoshop. So, imagine Van Gogh’s work with a little mixture of today’s modern frames. Perfection! Also, vinyl records tend to be taken by vinyl collectors. So, the vinyl record business is still growing, as the records are becoming more wanted and more hard to find. Even though they are very good, because as time passes their price grows. Who doesn’t want to own something like that?

There is a lot of reasons why it is good. People could dance to it, drink coffee, drink alcohol and it doesn’t require something specific. Usually it has a happy note or a happy text. Making people feel happy and optimistic. Instead of facing sad, tragic texts, this music makes you want to speed up your life tempo a bit and get back back on your feet. But, it also a music taste. It does not exactly mean that everybody would love it. But it is good that the biggest number of people do. This is good for the music industry.

We Need More Festivals
Music festivals definitely provoke excitement in everyone. Especially techno and house music loves. Who does not want to go to a party with good music and a theme.Themes can often be interesting. Most of them have themes including masks, costumes, dress codes and other. Festivals have their own rules and signature events.
Simply the festivals have a goal to provoke a spiritual connection between people.
Now how is that even possible? Well, understanding each artist and what they want to say and do by giving you the satisfaction for listening. Be present, be here, be connected, be yourselves. It is a thing that happens mostly once a year, with a purpose. Enjoy life! Bringing smile to fans faces is the artists goal, the more the better and more successful they are. Every kind of music is special. But, techno and house music lovers or ravers are the free spirited ones. Developing festivals and groups of people that could last for a long time and have so many different themes and manifestation. Creating space for dancers and even for people that enjoy listening to it. We are excited to start something new. The support is only knowing that fans and supporters will be attending and want to do it. Everything else is on the house. Ideas are always welcome.

Not mentioning that the world changes just by one person making a difference.
Well, why not make it something enjoyable? Like music? It brings all people together. Just discovering a new artist, makes the peoples live more interesting and exciting. Helping in this development is making some big changes to the society and a new era of music. The style is important, as the goal. It should not be about the ego, but about love.

Every artist has their own story by their playlist. Listen carefully and it will discover another world. It is proven that people who are similar listen to the same music. It is really important that people like this come together and grow stronger. And how that is done? Just by the artist telling their own story.

It takes effort and time to become good at what you work. It is not just about the desire and dream to accomplish something big. But about working on it every day. Until even one’s self could not give any interests to what others are saying and staying humble.
It is important to have confidence and to always work on your music.
It is making a dream come true. The biggest importance in this decisions and industry is working on what you love,which takes effort. Where it brings people joy and confidence. With all of these, one’s self is indestructible.Now, expanding the talent with work, brings the artist to large accomplishments. Being unique. Uniqueness is something that one should strive for, not being lost in the crowd. But being the only one with that type of work. It brings the artist and talents exposed to their fans. These kinds of artist usually have a long-term relationship with their fans.
As, worrying about what would happen next over the years, gets weaker every day. Their number of fans grows stronger every day. Holding to the style and brand, while making a living. What a good plan. Be unique and what is your will come. Expose yourself though music, people that understand you will make you stronger.
