Bandcamp Friday: Support Black Artists
Now is a time to support black artists and black-owned record labels. To start, members of the electronic music community have put together a document with more than 1,000 black artists and labels to support.
Beyond that, we’ve compiled a list of new releases this week from black artists and labels, as well as highlights from the last few months. Below, you’ll find fundraising efforts from non-black entities, including charity compilations and record labels who will be donating 100 percent of their proceeds towards black causes.
For more on how you can support black causes beyond just buying music, see our resources guide. And for information on how Resident Advisor is contributing, read our statement here.
