Axwell, Romero in fund-raising show

MANILA, Philippines - The upcoming Viber music event part of #Viberhelps efforts to help Typhoon Haiyan families — United Republiq electronic music — will be donating all proceeds to the victims of Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) with the Philippine Red Cross as one of the beneficiaries. With presenter Viber and producers Worldwide Womb & Driven, the festival is bringing in superstar international DJs Axwell, Nicky Romero, and NO_ID, along with local favorites DJs Ace Ramos, Marc Naval, Martin Pulgar and Mars Miranda tonight at 6 at the Mall of Asia Concert Grounds for the massive electronic music assembly for a cause.

Headlining the event is Swedish DJ Axwell who, after his stint with Swedish House Mafia, is now an independent DJ, record producer and label owner. Apart from world smash hits Save the World and Don’t You Worry Child, to name a few, Axwell is also known for his Grammy-nominated hit, In My Mind.

Nicky, on the other hand, is a Dutch DJ and house music producer. He is reputable for collaborating with world-renowned DJs and music icons, Tiesto, Avicii and David Guetta.

Joining them are the Dutch duo Ralph van Vugt and Devi van der Horst of NO_ID, who instantly shook the Dutch DJ scene upon winning the Amsterdam Dance Event Demolition Contest with the track, Wurld, in 2008.

All international and local DJs have decided to pull together and contribute their talent fees in an effort to provide relief for the tragedy pledging an estimated P7M.

Viber and the organizers are hoping to raise more funds to build evacuation centers and aid in medical assistance and communication of typhoon victims.
