"Money buys happiness, but money is temporary. Music and sound exist on a wide range of frequencies and can evoke just as wide a range of emotions. We aim to bring happiness and joy to people through these ranges of sound. We want to start our own electronic music festival for those that are less fortunate with hopes to bring the emotions of joy through the medium of music which is longer lasting than money”
