A load of top names from the world of beats and bass music are donating a track each to a double-CD compilation album in support of a leukemia charity. The comp has been inspired by the untimely passing of Sonia Akow, a DJ, label A&R and PR associate who was immersed in the scene until she died a year ago. 
Sonia was diagnosed with leukemia in November 2012, and a plea was put out for a bone marrow donor. The beats and bass scene united to stage a benefit gig in March 2013 raising nearly £15,000 for various leukemia charities, but sadly, Sonia lost her fight for life on July 3, 2013.

The 25-track collection is being released in August on Botchit & Scarper, and is entitled 'Push Play' — named after Sonia's PR operation, Push Promotions. Many of those involved worked with Sonia during her time promoting underground music in the industry over the past 15 years. 
All proceeds from the comp go to the African Caribbean Leukemia Trust (ACLT). The compilation album follows a benefit gig in south London In June, with many of the same artists appearing, plus names like Maxi Jazz from Faithless.
