ReConnect was launched by Beatport in March of 2020 as the COVID-19 pandemic brought the world to a halt. With the goal of bringing the greater music community, as well as charities together during unprecedented times, ReConnect aimed to connect people while benefiting important causes. Over the course of its existence, Beatport’s ReConnect series has raised more than $800,000 for charities across the globe.
