The compilation “Belarus Outside Sound System” is a collection of 13 contemporary electronic music stories from Belarus, spanning various genres such as house, ambient, drum'n'bass, disco, trap, somatic techno, future-bass, and EDM.

Within the release, you can experience the voice of the Minsk metro, the sounds of the unique Yelnya swamp, the incredible "Lullaby", as well as samples from folk songs and ethnic instruments, voices of famous Belarusians of the past and the present .

Each track represents a personal story of the musicians exploring their national identity. The compositions unveil the Belarusian cultural code through sounds, songs, motifs, instruments, and moods.

This release also serves as a creative expression against the repression in Belarus. Due to the threat of persecution, most authors have released their tracks under fictitious pseudonyms created specifically for the project.

Listen to the “Belarus Outside Sound System” compilation, and support Belarusian political prisoners and their families. All proceeds from the distribution of the compilation are directed to the BYSOL Solidarity Fund.

The compilation is published by the Belarus Outside Sound System, a charitable music movement that actively engages in various cultural projects, promotes contemporary Belarusian indie music, and addresses the socio-political agenda of Belarus.

V/A — Belarus Outside Sound System

Можно как угодно называть войну, можно даже запретить само слово «война», но суть от этого не меняется – это убийства, разрушения, боль и горе. Это преступление против человечности. Это нужно немедленно остановить!

Этим международным сборником мы выражаем солидарность с жертвами войны. Вырученные средства будут направлены на помощь детям беженцам из Украины в Германии.

They can call war whatever they want, they can even ban the word itself, but the essence stays just the same - It means murder, devastation, pain and grief. It is a crime against humanity. It needs to be stopped right now!

This internationally authored compilation gives us a chance to express our unity with the war victims. All the proceeds would be given to benefit the Ukrainian children refugees now living in Germany.

*Maria Kalesnikava was involved in cultural projects in Belarus and played the flute. In 2020 she led the headquarters of presidential candidate Viktor Babaryko who was the main opponent of the incumbent "president." Maria and her smile inspired and united people to defend their rights. She was forcibly attempted to be taken out of Belarus  but at the border Maria tore up her passport. She was sentenced to 12 years of imprisonment. For almost a year there has been no contact with her from prison.
