The fight for a free Kashmir and a free Palestine will not end until every inch and every person is liberated. 

Boss, you can't drop a mix like this and not provide a tracklist. 

41.16 Intifada Shahidawali Manzil by Comrade Bant Singh & Delhi Sultanate

Protest music is unadulterated wrath, organised rebellion, it is anger - but it is also love, healing and family. Everything we do at boxout.fm serves to empower, support and lend a voice to communities. Ours, and yours too.

In recent weeks, the skyrocketing violence in Palestine and Israel has claimed the lives of hundreds of innocent people, and wounded and altered the lives of thousands more. Senseless horrors steeped in generations of hate, that the world tells us can never change. We see and hear the bombs and accept that nothing can be done. We observe the open-air prisons in Gaza and the barbaric resettlement of native Palestinians in the West Bank with heavy, broken detachment. Images on screens that feel akin to museum exhibits, hideous figments from the history books, reminders of the worst of humanity's sins. But this really is happening right now, on this earth, as we live and breathe. The ground shakes beneath Palestinian feet as we try not to watch. And a heavy atmosphere of coerced self-censorship continues to take lives. 

The term apartheid has increasingly been used in relation to Israel but usually in a descriptive or comparative, non-legal sense. On April 27th of this year, Human Rights Watch released a thorough 224-page report concluding that Israel's actions are tantamount to apartheid even when interpreted in a strictly legal sense, rising to the standards set by the International Convention on the Suppression and Punishment of the Crime of Apartheid, and the Rome Statutes.

This unimaginable tragedy must end. We must educate ourselves, speak out fearlessly, and collectively pressure the world's powers to end the crimes against humanity once and for all. We stand with the people of Palestine in their right to freedom.

Tune in to our combined broadcast with Radio Alhara this Sunday, Monday and Tuesday this week. On Monday, we will broadcast 12 hours of original contributions from 14 boxout.fm resident hosts.

But more importantly, please educate yourselves, empower yourself with information, and pressure your elected representatives.

Kaali Duniya - Collateral Slavery

Agar humare desh ke log bekhabar rahe, toh har koi shaitaan aake humari soch ko galat disha main bhadka sakta hai. Chetavni, our debut album, drops on February 7th. Inquilab ka waqt aa gaya hai doston, insani haivaano se raho khabardaar aur awaaz uthao.

Its been five years after the release of the seminal Laaj Watte Kai, the multi-lingual hip-hop group that has come to represent the socio-political conscience of the city’s youth and nurtured the kind of brotherhood and creative energy previously seen in pioneering collectives such as Boy Better Know (UK), Wu-Tang Clan (US), Odd Future (US) and Brockhampton (US) . Chetavni arrives at a pivotal moment in Indian history, with class-inequality and sectarian violence seemingly being seeped into the legal and social fabric of Indian society. MC Mawali, Tod Fod, 100RBH, Maharya and BamBoy pull no punches in their critique of the Indian state, delivering scathing indictments of the ruling elite that come packaged in witty, blink and you might miss them, punchlines. In 2019, they released The Warli Revolt, a collaborative piece with Prakash Bhoir that became an anthem for the Save Aarey movement. Album highlights such as Aatank, Bhoiye, Kranti Havi and Khabardaar are poised to become the same.

Featuring production by BamBoy, NaaR and Raakshas, Chetavni explores a glacial, minimalistic soundscape, relying on guttural basslines and scattered Indian samples to drive the songs forward and paying homage to the crew’s inspirations from the UK’s grime and dub scenes.

Bhoy

Disclaimer - This song is not meant to target the Hindu religion but does seek to highlight how leaders of past and present are using it to disturb communal harmony and peace in our society leading to the situation we find ourselves in today.

A majoritarian mandate does not give any state, especially one founded on democratic and secular principles, the right to suppress dissent. Over the past few years, we've seen the current government shed its facade of developmental politics and resort to communal and authoritarian policies - demonising any community that dared to raise its voice in protest. 

That stops now.
