You're Invited! A Community For the Modern Music Generation 💥

Hey mate,

I’m excited to invite you to be part of the exclusive open beta for the Our Era Community! (Home of the Anarchy Fam)

This is a brand-new, free platform for music producers, DJs, clubbers, event promoters, record label owners, and electronic music enthusiasts from all genres to:

• Connect with like-minded individuals who share your passion in a focused space away from the noise of social media.

• Promote your music & events: Whether it’s released tracks, DJ mixes, live streams, or upcoming gigs.

• Get answers to your music production questions from me and the rest of the community.

• Share and discover new artists, DJs, production techniques, tools, and inspiration.

• And much, much more! Full press release and details at the bottom of this email...

My aim is to bring the electronic music community back together under one digital roof. I’ve created this space to help artists grow and support each other, level up their skills, get more plays, streams, and fans etc... and for you all to make new connections which can lead to exciting opportunities like collaborations, getting your tracks signed, more gigs, and many other networking possibilities down the line. 

In the Our Era Community, there are dedicated sections for everything: Producers can connect with DJs, labels can find the next big producers, clubbers can discover events, producers can find solutions to things that they’re stuck on, events can find the perfect DJs, music lovers can find new favourite artists and DJs… and so on. It’s all here in one focused space, without the distractions of dopamine hungry news feeds.

There are no algorithms here. The most recently commented on posts go back to the top, so everyone gets the chance to be seen and heard… like it should be.

Unlike mainstream social media platforms that remove our posts and limit our organic reach for sharing links to our music, mixes, events, or livestreams… Our Era rewards you for promoting your art and helping others level up.

The more that you engage in the community by answering questions, supporting others, sharing your music, mixes, livestreams and events, and being a part of the conversation… the more you’re rewarded with feature space for your own music or event.

Whether it’s a top-of-page banner or a pinned post for your new single, a featured flyer for your next event or livestream etc… the most active members get the promotion they deserve, for free, in the most relevant sections of the community website where your music or event will get the most visibility.

You can also submit your music to the 'Anarchy Fam Spotlight' where I feature you and your music across the community, YouTube, and my social media platforms too.

The Our Era Community is fully mobile-optimised, so you can stay connected on the go. But to see it in all its glory, I recommend using a laptop or desktop. It looks a lot cooler on there! There will be a dedicated app for it soon too.

I’ve built this platform for you and I want it to be as helpful, inspiring, and engaging as possible, so your feedback and suggestions are invaluable. There’s a dedicated ‘Forum Suggestions and Questions’ section where you can share your thoughts and ideas. Every suggestion will be listened to as we shape this community together. Feel free to tag me in there using the @riggsy_dharkfunkh tag and I will answer any questions you have.

At the link below, you can make a profile just like on social media and start posting your music, mixes, livestream links, ask for feedback on your new tracks, get help on anything to do with music production or promoting your music, and help others solve their problems in community.

I have also just added a private messenger / DMs feature. This unlocks once you have posted on the forum 3 times.

Here's the link: (One thing… please don’t spaces or dashes in your username 🙂)

Be sure to check the 'New Members Area' to find out which other features have recently been added so you can find your way around easier. It is still a beta test so please report any bugs or issues to me using the tag @riggsy_dharkfunkh inside the community, or email me at [email protected].

Thanks again for your patience and support while I finished building this community. I can’t wait to see you inside and watch this community grow into something truly special.

There’s a full press release below containing more details about everything inside the community. Please have a read through that too so you know exactly what to expect, and learn more about how this free community can help you.

This is Our Era. Let's smash it!

Huge News for Producers, DJs, Event Promoters, Clubbers and Music Lovers. 

I'm excited to announce the launch of the Our Era Community (Home of the Anarchy Fam) – a brand-new online community built for music producers, DJs, clubbers, event promoters, and electronic music lovers.

Why I'm Bringing Back the Forum Vibe

This isn’t just a forum; it’s a community. Our Era is where we can take a breather from social media and all come together to share our love of music and the club scene, support one another, and grow as artists. No algorithms. No nonsense. Just a round the clock space built by and for the electronic music community... and of course, it's free!

The Our Era Community is your space to be heard. You choose which space to hang out in, around the people and the music you vibe with. You can share ideas, and connect with like-minded people away from the dopamine hungry noise and anxiety of todays social media feeds.

In recent years, social media has made it tougher than ever to be seen without paying for ads. Especially for producers, DJs and event promoters. News feeds have become exhausting, unfocused, and saturated with brain rot nonsense... resulting in less people seeing things they're actually interested in, less people discovering new artists, and less people are going to events. So we’re taking back control!

Before meta came along, places like the OG forums (dontstayin.com, bangingtunes.com and the Silk City forum, to mention a few of my treasured favourites) weren't about chasing algorithms, mindless doom scrolling, being bombarded by dopamine hungry social media feeds, battling trolls, paying for ads, or fighting to be heard - it was all about real connections with like-minded people, sharing your art, helping and supporting each other, discovering new artists, and celebrating the music and events we all love.

Join the Movement and let’s create the same sense of family that brought us all to those OG forums that we still reminisce about – only now, with modern tools to make it even better!

This is Our Era. Let's make it legendary!
