Crossover for Charity is an event held by Neoluminum, The Half Heart Project, AOL Collective, SAFEinSOUND, Unbeyond Anthologies, Novatone, Shuttle Recs & AMFLARA! The goal of the event is to bring our communities together to create a charity compilation.
There are two ways to join the event!
Random Pairings
Picture something like Better Together by SILKENWOOD, Fusion Dance by AMFLARA or Duality by Juxtaposed.
If you use this sign up option, you will be assigned into a group with 3-5 other people, and you will then have one month to make a song with those people!
You can only enter the random pairings once.
Custom Groups
If you use this sign up option, you will be able to enter your own custom group, and you will then have one month to make a song together! Optionally, you can also sign up under a group alias!
Custom groups must have a minimum of 3 people. There is no maximum amount of people for custom groups.
You can enter into as many custom groups as you want.
- You must be in the Crossover for Charity Discord server in order to participate in the event.

- For custom groups, only one person must sign up for the whole group.
- Make sure you have the go from all your group members before signing up!

- What will happen to the Discord server after the event?
- We’ll see! If people like the idea of having a sort of underground label hub hangout spot, we may consider keeping the server open! If it becomes too much to handle, we may close the channels but keep it around for archival.
