Years ago, the Clean Scene study sounded a clear alarm: in 2019, the top 1,000 touring DJs each generated 35 tonnes of CO₂, roughly 17 times the recommended personal carbon budget. A shift towards sustainable practices in electronic music is urgent, but it shouldn't cost DJs their careers.
The Courts Circuit initiative led by Technopol in collaboration with DJs4 Climate Action, and Music Declares Emergency France, answers the call to action with an artist touring model called 'short u n circuits'. Between 2025 and 2028, the initiative will pilot ‘short circuits’ across Europe; develop and test economic models; train professionals and artists; and inspire positive change throughout the electronic music industry by sharing their findings.
