Venezuela earthquake relief fundraising compilation released, ‘PULSO I’
A new charity compilation, 'PULSO I (An Electronic Music Benefit Compilation for Venezuela Earthquake Relief)', has been released to raise funds following two earthquakes that struck northern Venezuela in late June. The 36-track album gathers contributions from electronic artists including DJ Babatr, Rainmaker, Bclip, Pablo Mayorga and AMANTRA, with 100% of net proceeds going to Fundación Proyecto Maniapure, a medical organisation currently deployed in the affected coastal city of La Guaira, near Caracas. The coordinating team has deliberately chosen to work anonymously, stating the release is intended as a fundraising tool rather than a promotional showcase, with an emphasis on transparency over the destination of funds.
The compilation is available on Bandcamp, and the team has shared a direct donation link alongside a public "Transparency Drive" to track contributions. PULSO plans two further volumes, eventually involving nearly 100 contributing artists, with recipient organisations chosen as relief needs evolve. According to Al Jazeera, the two consecutive 7.2-plus magnitude earthquakes on 24th June killed more than 3,500 people, injured over 16,740 and displaced 17,854 from their homes, while 80 shelters across Caracas and La Guaira are now housing more than 12,800 people. Miami venue Club Space and UK label Solid Grooves have also announced their own donation drives to support relief efforts.
