A Bargain for a Good Cause – Excite Audio & LNADJ Unite for Giving Tuesday
Opportunities in the creative industries are scarce, and this holds even more true for young dreamers coming from challenging backgrounds. Keeping this in mind, we’re delighted to present a noble charity fundraising deal by Last Night A DJ Saved My Life (LNADJ) in collaboration with Excite Audio.
Starting on Giving Tuesday (2nd December 2025), and for a total of 48 hours, we’re aiming to round up as much money as possible for LNADJ and make music production more accessible for everyone. Throughout this short time window, Plugin Boutique customers will be able to access the highly versatile Lifeline Lite Bundle from Excite Audio for only $9.99 (£9.99 / €9.99) – (MSRP: $86.90).
You can get the bundle here at the discounted charity price for the next 48 hours. Otherwise, read on to find out more about the great work the charity is planning with the proceeds.
About Last Night a DJ Saved My Life
Last Night a DJ Saved My Life (LNADJ) is a charitable foundation harnessing the power of music to create tangible, life-changing opportunities for young people around the world. Rather than simply fundraising, LNADJ turns the cultural influence of DJs, producers, and music lovers into a force for social empowerment. Their mission is beautifully simple: to inspire positive change through music, art and community-led action.
LNADJ’s projects focus on unlocking creative expression in places where opportunity is otherwise hard to find. From providing safe spaces and education to amplifying unheard voices, the charity ensures young people can transform not only their own future, but the futures of those around them too. You can find out more about their past successes here.
The organisation backs its mission with a hands-on, global approach, building infrastructure, supplying equipment, and training community leaders, rather than dropping in once and disappearing. Its interventions are long-term investments in confidence, skills, culture, and belonging.
Recent and upcoming initiatives showcase LNADJ’s ambitious, creative reach. In Nepal, the team is embarking on its biggest journey to date: A Sonic Adventure: a high-altitude trek and full-moon celebration at Lake Tilicho, raising funds for a Girls’ Empowerment Centre set to support tens of thousands with counselling, education and protection. The goal is bold: raise £100,000 and create a ripple effect of safety and opportunity for generations of young women.
Africa remains another powerful chapter in the LNADJ story. In 2018, a group of DJs and fundraisers climbed Kilimanjaro, raising enough money to build a home for 50 children with special needs in Moshi, Tanzania. This is a project that continues to thrive today, bearing fruit to those under its provision. Their world-record DJ set at the summit wasn’t a publicity stunt; it was a symbol of what happens when music meets purpose, captured in the film Ain't No Mountain High Enough, screening later this year.
LNADJ’s impact doesn’t end with epic treks. Each Christmas, the Christmas Wishes Campaign turns meaningful requests into reality, from essential sanitary packs to vocational training and Christmas parties for vulnerable children. Last year alone, over 200 children celebrated Christmas, hundreds of girls in Nepal received reusable sanitary packs, and creative education initiatives were funded across Sierra Leone and beyond.
The momentum will carry over into 2026, when LNADJ is on track to deliver their Street to Street and Get Equipped programmes in Tanzania, providing DJ equipment, music production tech, and mentorship to young people moving from life on the streets to lives full of artistry, agency and aspiration. This is where real change happens; with teaching now embedded locally, these programmes already support hundreds of learners and uphold LNADJ’s integrity, pushing hope, dignity, and creativity as tools of inspiration.
LNADJ isn’t asking supporters to merely observe; they invite participation. Whether you spread the word, climb a mountain, donate, or simply engage, you’re becoming part of a narrative where music truly saves lives. In a world where inspiration and opportunity are unevenly distributed, LNADJ is proof that one song, one skill, or one supportive moment can shift the course of a young person’s life forever.
