The prototypes are in and I'm excited to bring you guys an amazing product with an amazing movement! The shirts have a few minor tweaks before they release but they are coming soon! There are three directions that impact our lives, we can choose to be an inspiration, a motivation for others, or perform at a new level to inspire those that surround us. Join the movement and let's make an IMPact #motivation #movement2017 #inspire #motivate #perform #entrepreneur #clothingline #IMPact

Give a Beat Hosts Bar and Giant Jenga at Movement Detroit

Give a Beat raised money for youth programs at Movement Festival through the “I Give a Beat” bar and artist Giant Jenga matches

By Julia Bistriceanu, Give a Beat Social Media Team

Give a Beat is blown away by the time we had at Movement Music Festival in Detroit this year. We were honored to partner with the festival and Paxahau again and host a bar to raise funds for our programs. Tips and a part of the sales from the “I Give a Beat” bar directly benefit Give a Beat and Girls Rock Detroit youth music programs! Our “I Give a Beat” bar was located in the Made in Detroit stage area where we could hear music from local DJs playing all weekend long. 

Along with our bar, part of our initiative was bringing back Give a Beat Jenga! Artists competed against each other all weekend to raise awareness for our organization. Fans were encouraged to “sponsor” a team and support our programs. Huge thanks to all the artists that participated in the games: Soul Clap, Golf Clap, Francesca Lombardo, DJ Stacey HOTWAXX Hale, DJ Minx, Marissa Guzman, Mike Clark, Dax Lee, Atnarko, Gene Farris, Jason Hodges, Chuck Daniels of Sampled Recordings Detroit, Twin Cousin, John Johr, Unicorn Fukr, Fred Everything, FINLEY, SuperDre, Dru Ruiz, The Saunderson Brothers, Emanate, DJ LYNDA CARTER, Nešto, Wally Callerio, Walker & Royce, and Will Clarke of Dirtybird. We raised over $10,000 from the bar and the Give a Beat Jenga sponsorships!

We could not have done this without the help of our amazing volunteers! This group of volunteers were absolutely friendly, engaging, passionate, and hard-working. It was amazing being surrounded by so many people who “give a beat” all weekend long! 

Volunteer, Courtney Spivak, shares her experience. So happy to have her on board!   

“I had a blast working at the Give a Beat/Girls Rock Detroit Giant Jenga tent at Movement. This was my first time working with Give a Beat as a volunteer and I was excited to help such a good cause! It was nice to have a chance to engage people one on one and tell them about all the great things Give a Beat and Girls Rock Detroit are giving back to the community through music and youth engagement. 

Everybody put so much enthusiasm into helping and promoting the event, it was great to see everyone having fun and helping a great cause! Not only did the crowd enjoy watching the game, some of them even donated a bit more so that they could join in! Many of the DJs went the extra mile, using ticket giveaways to draw interest and even wearing team "uniforms"! 

Overall it was a terrific experience and I'm so happy that I could help such a great organization and have a wonderful time doing it! It's nice to see how much the Metro Detroit area cares about youth and are willing to help!” 

We’d also like to send our gratitude to our promotional partners. We could not have done this without you! Thank you DJ Times, Fusicology, Breathe in Detroit, Vizual Records, DAY LIFE (Detroit), and Boomagram!

We’re truly inspired by all the love we received during Movement and can’t wait to do it again next year!

GALLERY: Movement Detroit 2017 Day 3 Photos and More

Another year has come and gone and this year's installment of Movement is now in the rear-view mirror. We had a blast all three days and hope you enjoy the first gallery from our time at Movement!

We enjoyed sets from Carl Cox, Chris Liebing, Teklife: DJ Spinn and DJ Taye wsg Gant-Man, Soul Clap Live in the Rain!, Mija's surprise set in VIP, Mind Against, and more!

In the past few years, I have worn myself down trying to get as many photos of as many artists as possible without enjoying the actual vibes and time and tunes to the fullest extent. That's exactly what I wanted to do this year, not only for the magazine but for my psyche as I have had a rough few months leading into Movement. It only made sense to try and get higher quality photos by taking my time over taking 10k photos in 3 days. I felt it was time to trust my instincts and push myself to both enjoy myself and blow off some steam, but also to get some quality photos while watching more than 2 minutes of each set...

That was something that has been bothering me over the last few years as I have built my career in live photography "why am I running off as soon as I'm done? Why am I not sticking around? Why am I trying to get a million photos instead of giving myself a positive new memory?" Now I know why because I needed to. The years leading up to this were practice to make sure my balance can work in this realm of music. I can both enjoy myself and bust my ass while creating and without being a disturbance to the crowd or to the artists. It's just so many wins there, it was really about taking pressure off of myself and just feeling it. Finally, I could let go, even for a few moments, I was able to release a lot of negative shit bottled up inside. Through basslines and drum beats we heal. It sounds hippy dippy as fuck but there is nothing truer than that to me. I have found my church and my communities within music and within different worlds of music too.

GALLERY: Movement Detroit 2017 Day 2 Photos and More

Another year has come and gone and this year's installment of Movement is now in the rear-view mirror. We had a blast all three days and hope you enjoy the first gallery from our time at Movement!

We enjoyed sets from Juicy J, Testpilot, DJ Psycho, Shiba San, Heidi, Francesca Lombardo, Joseph Capriati, Scan 7, DJ Seoul, Adam Beyer, Seth Troxler, Dixon, and more. Sunday was a very wet day where I spent a good 2-3 hours under cover at the Main Stage. The basement was so fucking hot and every other stage was either shut down or had no cover so standing around with all my camera gear in the rain was not exactly my goal for the weekend.
