Electronic events raise money for the homeless

DJ Bone explains how he helps homeless people in Amsterdam through parties.

DJ Bone from Detroit  is currently living in Amsterdam with his wife where he presented a project called the Homeless Homies Benefit Showcase at the Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE).

It was held at the Shelter Club where DJ Bone is currently a resident of DJ and the name of the club is symbolic in this case. All the money raised at this ADE event will go to two homeless shelters in Amsterdam.

One of the shelters accommodates the homeless during the day and the other during the night. Eric and Ahna (DJ Bone and his wife) have been helping homeless people sell music on his Subject Detorit label for a long time, and over time this has become an organization operating in Detroit and Amsterdam.

One of the favorite events they did was in Detroit when they organized a rave party that people could go to without paying entry but had to bring some supplies for shelter.

There was a success, so they repeated it during the Movement Festival where they were joined by Derrick May, Seth Troxle, Josh Wink and Funster.
