Summer Rain Recordings
Posted in News by fluidblog on November 19th, 2008
We really like this labels releases, and especially the approach they are taking in support of NextAid. Below is a summary of the label and also some info on upcoming releases that are currently doing the rounds on the Fluid playlist…
Summer Rain Recordings, established in the summer of 2007, is a record label with a difference. Every artist signed to the label donates a minimum of 5% of their royalties for every release to NextAid, or a charity of their choice, and we match their percentage donation from the label profits from the release.
ioda, our distributor, also donate 25% of their fees for each of our releases to next aid too.
As well as a fine selection of fresh new music from new artists, you will find guest releases from more established artists who wish to give something back in the form of royalty donations to charity.
About NextAid:
Every purchase of our music helps NextAid to raise funds for their pilot project, the building of an ecological community center and children’s residential village in Dennilton, South Africa. Now complete are 10 structures of the 25 slated for construction by summer 2010. The center will serve as a safe home for 50 children orphaned by AIDS, a multi-purpose center for the larger community, a hub for economic enterprise, and an example of innovative solutions for future projects throughout Africa.
