TXDJ × RECOVERY ALLIANCE: A SAFER SOUND
A Texas PLUR initiative bringing overdose prevention awareness and recovery resources into the music community.
El Paso, Texas — October 23, 2026. The Texas DJ Association (TXDJ) is introducing A Safer Sound, a community-safety initiative developed in collaboration with Recovery Alliance of El Paso as part of TXDJ's Texas PLUR program.
Electronic music is about more than entertainment. It is about connection and looking out for one another. Through this collaboration, TXDJ aims to improve awareness of overdose prevention, naloxone access, and recovery resources among Texas music communities.
BRINGING COMMUNITY SAFETY INTO THE MUSIC SCENE
Artists, promoters, venue teams and attendees all have a role in creating safer spaces. A Safer Sound will direct people to trusted education and resources, encourage informed conversations, and help make naloxone access information easier to find.
Recovery Alliance of El Paso brings recovery-support and community-outreach experience. TXDJ brings an emerging network of music professionals and supporters. Together, they aim to make useful safety information more visible.
WHAT IS TEXAS PLUR?
Texas PLUR is TXDJ's community initiative inspired by the values of Peace, Love, Unity and Respect. It seeks to put those values into practice through education, connection, community partnerships and safer event culture.
NALOXONE AWARENESS AND ACCESS
Naloxone is a medicine that can reverse an opioid overdose. TXDJ is directing community members to established resources rather than operating an emergency delivery service or promising immediate availability.
Recovery Alliance of El Paso offers recovery-oriented support and community resources. Naloxone Texas provides information on naloxone access, with regional hub information for communities including El Paso.
In a suspected overdose emergency, call 911 immediately. Naloxone does not replace emergency medical care.
BUILDING A SAFER SOUND TOGETHER
As TXDJ develops its statewide network, A Safer Sound is intended to grow through responsible education, collaboration and community outreach as resources become available.
United by Sound. Connected by Community.
