Eclectic new dance album helps animals in need
Proceeds of Nutty Traxx ‘Freedom’ go towards massive ADI rescue in South America
A new dance album released by Nutty Traxx will raise funds to help Animal Defenders International (ADI) save animals in distress. ‘Freedom’ features an eclectic mix of global artists from around the world and was inspired by award-winning action documentary Lion Ark.
DJ and Producer James ‘Nutty Traxx’ Brierley pledged to donate proceeds from the album after watching the critically acclaimed Lion Ark about 25 lions being rescued from circuses in Bolivia by ADI and their airlift to freedom.
The UK’s leading hardstyle label, Nutty Traxx has racked up Number 1 bestsellers on Trackitdown, Juno and other leading stores. The new mini album contains a refreshing mix of styles and upcoming and established artists.
James Brierley, who saw Lion Ark at a gala West End screening last year, said “Seeing their amazing South American rescue mission unfold in Lion Ark was an incredibly moving experience for me and I am delighted to be able to support the inspiring and important work of Animal Defenders International through this eclectic new album. Download ‘Freedom’ today and help ADI protect and save animals around the world.”
Available to download at all major MP3 portals including Amazon, Beatport, iTunes and Junodownload, ‘Freedom’ is a global collaboration featuring tracks from Viktor Sazunger, James Identity, Tiifa, Renegade System, Connected and Chano Diaz Limaco, whose music also features on the Lion Ark soundtrack.
Tracklist
Viktor Saxunger – Valens
James Identity – Yeah!
Tiifa – Haunted
Renegade System – Aliens
Connected – Woodpecker
Chano Diaz Limaco – Andean Journey
ADI President and Lion Ark Producer Jan Creamer said “We are currently undertaking our biggest ever rescue mission in Peru and Colombia where we are enforcing bans on the use of wild animals in circuses, so the timing of “Freedom” could not be better. We are hugely grateful to James and Nutty Traxx for compiling this amazing selection of artists. People can get a great album know that every track that is downloaded really will help an animal take a step towards freedom.”
The artists on the mini album come from around the world including the UK, Sweden, and appropriately, Peru, where for a year ADI has been undertaking Operation Spirit of Freedom rescuing over 80 animals including 33 lions, a tiger, a puma, over 20 monkeys and real-life Paddington bear Cholita, a hairless endangered Spectacled bear whose plight captured the hearts of people around the world.
Every download from the “Freedom” album raises money to help ADI’s rescue work, with all the tracks donated by the artists.
