About Me

Opium For The Masses is a collective of producers and DJs from around the globe with common purpose. We were born out of the ashes of our decaying electronic music scene. There was a time when electronic music was amazing, but somehow the whole scene went wrong and turned elitist. The parties went from undergound to South Beach, where they were effectively destroyed. We are part of an effort to revive electronic music culture. We also want to keep-up the struggle against financial exploitation. There is a war going on out there between the haves and have-nots. World poverty is out-of-control, we are at a crisis point with energy, and our environment is becoming less and less habitable. You work hard and deserve to listen to something you can relate to. Solidarity!! ..
