Bandcamp Friday: July 3rd
This is the fourth time Bandcamp is forgoing its 15 percent share, with the previous three events bringing in more than $16.2 million for artists and labels.
As well as the many new releases, some labels are choosing to direct all today’s proceeds to the artists, while others are donating their share of sales to charities and initiatives. (Some labels are extending the discount beyond today.)
For more recent releases, you can check out our Support Black Artists list from the last Bandcamp no-fees day, June 5th, as well as its Juneteenth donative drive for the NAACP Legal Defense Fund.
For a more comprehensive guide, the searchable Black Bandcamp resource features thousands of Black artists and labels on the platform and has been fully integrated into the Bandcamp website.
And to mark the recent surge in protests for Black trans people, there’s also a crowdsourced list of Black Femme Identifying Electronic Music Artists.
Read Matt McDermott’s new feature on how Bandcamp is changing underground music.
