Electic New Dance Album Helps Animals in Need

Proceeds of Nutty Traxx 'Freedom' go towards massive ADI rescue in South America

A new dance album released by Nutty Traxx will raise funds to help Animal Defenders International (ADI) save animals in distress. ‘Freedom’ features an eclectic mix of global artists from around the world and was inspired by award-winning action documentary Lion Ark.

DJ and Producer James ‘Nutty Traxx’ Brierley pledged to donate proceeds from the album after watching the critically acclaimed Lion Ark about 25 lions being rescued from circuses in Bolivia by ADI and their airlift to freedom.

The UK’s leading hardstyle label, Nutty Traxx has racked up Number 1 bestsellers on Trackitdown, Juno and other leading stores. The new mini album contains a refreshing mix of styles and upcoming and established artists.

Download ‘Freedom’ today and help ADI protect and save animals around the world.”

ADI President and Lion Ark Producer Jan Creamer said “We are currently undertaking our biggest ever rescue mission in Peru and Colombia where we are enforcing bans on the use of wild animals in circuses, so the timing of “Freedom” could not be better. We are hugely grateful to James and Nutty Traxx for compiling this amazing selection of artists. People can get a great album know that every track that is downloaded really will help an animal take a step towards freedom.”

The artists on the mini album come from around the world including the UK, Sweden, and appropriately, Peru, where for a year ADI has been undertaking Operation Spirit of Freedom rescuing over 80 animals including 33 lions, a tiger, a puma, over 20 monkeys and real-life Paddington bear Cholita, a hairless endangered Spectacled bear whose plight captured the hearts of people around the world.

Every download from the “Freedom” album raises money to help ADI’s rescue work, with all the tracks donated by the artists.
