Club4Climate

Dr. Earth wants you to be environmentally aware, but he sees no reason why environmental awareness and hedonism shouldn't go hand in hand. They are not mutually exclusive. With the profits from the music, the nights and the destination going to Friends of the Earth, all you really have to do is dance to save the world.

Club4Climate has teamed up with the world leaders in environmentally sustainable dance clubs, Rotterdam’s Enviu/Doll and Sustainable Dance Club. Working on the basis that a club should be self sufficient and not a drain on the environment, the organisation has come up with the varied and interesting ways to be eco-friendly. The strangest of which have been reported in the UK press, whereby Amy Winehouse is set to headline at Watt nightclub, Rotterdam in September. Energy will come from urine and sweat from clubbers and toilets will be flushed by rainwater. Projects Abroad, the gap year organisation recently endorsed by BBC Dragon’s Den star James Caan for their forward thinking initiatives, are working with Club4Climate to send young people to create sustainable dance clubs in New York, Cape Town and Rio de Janeiro.

Steve Norman, from the 80’s pop sensation, the amazing Spandau Ballet,
is signed to produce the Club4Climate CD due to be released in September
2008. It will be a collection of eclectic chillout and sexy, soulful
house tunes.

Having lived in Ibiza for 12 years, there is nothing that Steve Norman
doesn’t know about chilling out. Steve Norman says “I am very excited to
be working on this project. I can think of no better combination of
having a good time and helping to save the world. It rocks my boat. We
now know that we have to make changes if we’re to make our planet a
better place to live in and secure a safer future for our children. But
how many of us actually make those changes? Club4Climate helps us to
focus on green issues whilst having fun doing it. Being a soulman and
the occassional clubber, I can’t think of a better way. I’m very happy
to be involved.”

Spandau Ballet emerged from London’s underground fashion and club scene
of the late 70’s, they pioneered styles of electronic dance music and
white funk. They had worldwide commercial success with the blue eyed
soul album True. They had 20 hit singles and spent a 500 weeks in the UK
charts, selling 20 million albums worldwide.
