Music events with a social purpose.

I like the openness and positivity they're building as a community and a brand, and I'm very happy to be involved :)

Our mind could be our biggest enemy as well as our biggest strength.. I've been both sides of the spectrum. Having gone through depression and anxiety, I do understand how important it is to raise awareness and educate/raise proceedings for endeavors that contribute vastly towards such objectives.. Huge love to Baseline Collective for having me, and I'm hoping we would be able to raise funds and support through the event.. Hoping to see you all at the dance floor...

I've always been a supporter of MIND, having lost someone to suicide five years ago, and having had mental health issues myself in the past, and family members that have experienced them too. MIND do amazing work, raising awareness of mental health issues and breaking down the stigma that's still there. They also offer a phone line, which is a lifeline to many people in times of crisis. Having volunteered on a suicide phone line myself a few years ago, I know just how important that is and what a difference it makes. But it's a service that costs a lot of money to run, and so it's important we try and raise money for MIND, to make sure important services like this are available to those who can't perhaps afford private counselling or therapy, or just need someone to talk to.

Mind is a really important charity to me, having suffered with my own mental health over the years, I think it's important to support them, especially in the music industry, a lot of people are suffering deep inside.

I've always been aware of the importance of mental health, but the challenges of the last few years have really highlighted how fragile it can be. It's also revealed how patchy mental health provision is across the UK. Charities such as Mind do a hugely important job in bridging that gap, and I'm really happy to play a small part in supporting their work.

I have struggled with my mental health for over a decade, i’ve been there. I get it. There is currently nowhere near enough support for people who need it due to the systematic underfunding of our NHS. This means charities are often people’s only choice. On top of that there is still a stigma surrounding mental health and asking for help. If i can in some way contribute to helping with that i’m down.

I had a lot of experience with therapy throughout my life since I was about 4 years old actually. To be brief, I wouldn't be writing music and living a great life now without the support I was given when I was younger. So any cause that supports mental health and the welbing of others is right up my street.

It's hard to watch the effects of negativity take hold in friends and family and I commend anyone who is there to help those that are struggling in these hard times. Let the music play and let's enjoy a smile together doing what we love. 💚

One thing I didn’t realise until I got to Uni and started making closer friendships was that everyone has their battles, whether you can see them or not. It shocked me how many people that I thought were rock solid had struggled too, and I loved the way music brought us together and gave us all an escape from the stress everyday life can bring. It’s why I’ll never stop going to events!

I am such a firm believer in open conversation about mental health, which is why working with Baseline Collective is a really awesome opportunity. The DnB gig environment is a place filled with joy and connectivity, but it's also heavily interlaced with substances and alcohol which can take a toll on our wellbeing. I think it's amazing that Baseline Collective are doing so much more than running gigs, they're creating a safe space, a positive community and a real difference amongst the run of the mill promoters.

Mental health is something that has affected me in my career at varying points of my life. In NZ we have a dedicated charity to helping musicians who struggle in this area and I do a lot with and for them when asked. Therefore it made absolute sense to also do something for Baseline Collective. Mental health in the UK appears to be underfunded and things like this are so helpful and essential.

I’ve been following Baseline Collective’s mission for a while now and love the non-profit idea - having a party for an amazing cause!

Music, in particular Drum and Bass has helped me so much. Being able to escape life’s stress whilst in the rave has played such a large part in keeping my mental health in balance. Charities such as Mind and what Baseline Collective has done for everyone and the DnB community is so important. To now be a part of that is such an honour.

Mental health isn’t talked about enough, especially in men, and I’m sure there are so many people within the music industry that are affected by it that don’t speak about it enough. Young, old, male or female. Charities such as Mind are important to raise awareness because of how widespread the issue itself is. I’m happy to be working with Baseline Collective as they’re rooting for a cause which is close to my heart, as I have lots of friends and close loved ones who suffer with mental health issues.

I've been through CBT thanks to Music Minds Matter & know how valuable this kind of resource is. Anything I can do to help continue its existence is a win on my books!
