Beatport is once again supporting diversity and equity in the music industry with their Diversity + Parity Fund, this time increasing the grant amount by 50%.

The online marketplace and music platform has been an important resource for amateur and professional DJs alike for almost 20 years, and it’s now looking to further dedicate itself to supporting underrepresented groups in music.

In their second annual Diversity + Parity Fund, Beatport will offer even more financial support, editorial exposure, and marketing across Beatport’s social media platforms to help organizations with similar goals increase their impact and reach a wider audience.

Last year, the grant distributed $100,000 to three organizations: Lady Of The House, Future Female Sounds, and #FORTHEMUSIC. This year, it is expanding by increasing the fund and establishing two separate channels.

The award is now $150,000 and has two offer streams: one for smaller organizations ($3,000 to $15,000) and one for larger organizations ($15,000 to $30,000).

Beatport hopes to support all types of initiatives, from smaller grassroots organizations to larger, multi-level brands, all in their mission to amplify previously silenced voices in the community.

The application process will open on July 25 at 12PM GMT and close on August 22 at 12PM GMT. For more details and submission guidelines, check out the website here.

Apple Music Replay Drops Before Spotify Wrapped

acastro STK046 01 1024x683 1

Apple Music Replay is back for another year, offering users a retrospective of their musical journey. Launched in 2019, the feature underwent a significant update last year, aligning it more closely with the popular Spotify Wrapped. This year’s Replay, accessible through Apple Music’s webpage, provides a comprehensive summary of your most-listened-to songs, artists, albums, and more. To kickstart the musical reflection, Apple has released Replay just days before Spotify is anticipated to unveil its Wrapped stats.

A Web-Centric Experience

Unlike Spotify Wrapped, which boasts highly shareable charts, A.M.R.’s stats lack the same visual appeal for online sharing. Interestingly, these statistics are not directly integrated into the Apple Music app. However, users can still access their 2023 Replay playlist within the app. The Replay feature not only showcases a delightful highlight reel of favorite songs and artists but also includes a milestone tracker, measuring accomplishments such as reaching the milestone of listening to 1,000 songs.

Navigating Your Replay

To view your Replay for the year, simply head to replay.music.apple.com and log in with your Apple ID. The platform provides an in-depth breakdown of your listening habits throughout the year. With Spotify Wrapped set to launch in early December, Apple seems keen on giving Replay a head start, ensuring users get a chance to explore their musical journey before being engulfed by the impending Wrapped stats, widely shared on social media platforms,

Relive The Magic Of Hulaween 2023 Through This Photo Journey

This past October, Suwannee Hulaween celebrated its tenth anniversary with a slew of incredible star performers, stunning art installations, and moments of connection.

Once again returning to Spirt of Suwannee Music Park, Hulaween showcased its affinity for music of all genres with headliners like Pretty Lights, The String Cheese Incident, John Summit, Channel Tres, Elderbrook, Big Wild, Mt. Joy, and many more.

And while the festival typically keeps its art installations hidden until the day of the event, this year they teased ten new installations for the ten-year anniversary including a new 360-degree Spirit Lake, the Incendia art stage conceptualized by Cory Glenn, and a daily projection mapping spectacle by the esteemed Jasper & Shelby Mosher.

For those who couldn’t attend this landmark edition of Hulaween or regulars who miss the freedom of Spirit Lake, check out the Hulaween 2023 photo gallery below:
