The Electronic Music Alliance (EMA) announces new 2013 partnerships for positive social change

EMA has forged three new and exciting relationships that will foster positive change within the dance music community. CharityBuzz, which provides online bidders exclusive opportunities to live their dreams and make a difference through incredible online charity auctions, has partnered with EMA and will expand opportunities to EMA member artists to participate in the PlayitFWD program. This partnership will provide an exciting and interactive fundraising model needed for the expansion of programs and planned community activation grants.

EMA solidified its partnership with the e-Stewards Enterprise which will strengthen the development of the EMA Ewaste program.

œWe are very proud to award EMA the designation of e-Stewards Enterprise and applaud their leadership in electronic asset stewardship Mike Enberg, e-Stewards Enterprise Director.

Founding Board Member Raymond Stone, CEO of RaveReady says "I think that every company wants to do "good things" but it isn't always easy to recognize the small things we can do to make a big difference. EMA was able to help me identify several ways to reduce waste and usage within my business. This of course benefits our environment and is in alignment with EMA's mission.

EMA welcomes their relationship with Keyframe Entertainment as Keyframe is partnering as Music Director with the web magazine Reality Sandwich, in launching Evolver EDM, the source for Conscious Electronic Dance Music. Evolver EDM will include interviews, reviews, news, mixes, festival information, and updates on transformational culture and will provide the opportunity for EMA to open it's message and base to the transformational community.

Julian Reyes, CEO of Keyframe-Entertainment & Executive Producer of the recently released documentary œElectronic Awakening joined the 2013 EMA board of directors. œEDM culture is a multi-faceted phenomenon. EMA is a perfect example of an organization focused on social responsibility and environmental stewardship. Our members are focused on utilizing the power of our music to champion actual change in the world says Julian.

Additionally, the Electronic Music Alliance (EMA) welcomes the Association for Electronic Music (AFEM). A trade organization for our industry is long overdue and EMA believes in the promise of AFEM as an advocating collaborator.

œIt was really encouraging to see this global step forward galvanizing our industry and community worldwide. Networks like the EMA and AFEM serve to unite our community for positive impact, said Janine Jordan, EMA Executive Director.

With the unprecedented enthusiasm and growth of our electronic music community, EMA believes the foundations and partnerships created now are essential to a sustainable future.
