Freq Nasty and Bassnectar release FreQ Nectar for Tibet awareness

Freq Nasty, electronic breakbeat music pioneer released a collaboration with West Coast heavyweight, Bassnectar, titled "Viva Tibet," on giveback.net and across global social networks in support of the Tibetan People's Uprising Movement, The campaign successfully raised $8,000 in support of TPUM's March to Tibet earlier this year.

FreQ's reasons for supporting the campaign, in his own words:

"It's time we, the music community reached out on a grassroots level to show some love to those who need it, to whatever extent we feel able. Most of us don't vote, most of us see the news as something that happens to somebody else, and most of us have excess that the majority of the people we see on the news can only dream of. If we can help spread the idea that creating positive change in the world elsewhere is an investment in our own security and happiness then I'm a happy DJ.

Thanks to these artists and the peeps supporting them, our compatriots in Tibet felt the love and support of the global music community.

In the words of the marchers:
