Electronic Music Alliance was formed in 2009 as a side project of the nonprofit Green Wave ( EMA ’ s logo was inspired by the 1970 ’ s Ecology logo ). Industry outreach began in 2010 with an initiatory fundraising event featuring music from Oscure , DJ Eva , DJ Jim Carson , Mike Teez , Static Revenger , DJ Rap , and EMA co-founder Ken Jordan from The Crystal Method . Toward the end of 2011 , EMA expanded its board of directors and sent a representative , EMA co-founder Monica Salazar , to the Rave Act hearings in Sacramento .

10 of running a subcommittee on the L . A . Electronic Music Task force ( to represent the voice of electronic music culture ), EMA proved integral to the victory in L . A . County to overturn the proposed moratorium against electronic music events .
EMA initiatives focus on patron health and safety and engaging members in environmental , social awareness , and philanthropic activities through our Play it FWD and Massive Action programs . Their artist-focused Play it FWD encourages our artist members to “ play it forward ” by donating their time , talents , or platform to EMA or partner organizations . EMA ’ s Massive Action program brings environmental and social education and action into the larger communities and works on both a local and industry levels . Local organizers often create a community service weekend where they conduct a collection drive ( supplies , food , Ewaste ) at a club , clean a beach , waterway , or park , or host some other community-awareness building or fundraising event . Last Fall , EMA organized the electronic music industry EMA members around a “ turn out the vote ” campaign that we called “ Turn Up The Vote ”. EMA is also a proud member of the Event Safety Working Group , participating in various task groups to update the Event Safety Alliance ’ s Event Safety Guide .
