From hidden villas to gin distilleries, the adventurous parties thrown by Blackout Agency have always veered towards breaking new ground, landing big in the consciousness and hearts of partygoers throughout the city. Run by influential promoter and selector, Zig Zach, the agency now reveals another move that elevates partying to a noble tier, reaching out to another demographic in dire need of relief.

Dubbed Blackout Broadcast, the charitable effort is a two-day radio show featuring an international roster of selectors handpicked by the seasoned agency. An ensemble lineup with numerous names familiar amongst the community, it includes veterans like Brendon P, DJ KFC, Yujin, Joshua P, YA5TH and more, with sets recorded from their homes. Highlighting the global ambit of Blackout, it will also feature sets from associated DJs based in Bali, New York, UK and Amsterdam – all coming together for a cause close to home.

The charity of choice is the Food Bank Singapore that provides around 10,000 daily meals for needy families and foreign workers affected by the lashings of the pandemic. In achieving this, it also supports F&B retailers not spared by the lockdown restrictions via a pay-it-forward meal; to find out more, you can visit this official fundraising website. Blackout Broadcast hopes to raise awareness for this initiative, with a platform for donations on its Twitch link.

While the government-imposed circuit breaker seems to be reaching its tail end, it’s still evident that the party climate isn’t going to be the same anytime soon, let alone communities and families still recovering from impoverished conditions. With Blackout Broadcast, this is your chance to support them all.

Blackout Broadcast x Foodbank Fundraiser, 28-29 May 2020, 12pm-8pm. For more information on streaming and donations, visit the official event page.
