As each year passes, it has become clearer that Israeli statehood includes permanent control of the West Bank and the continued seizure of Gaza. For decades Israeli politicians have posed the question 'one state or two states?' whilst forcibly annexing more territory each passing year and simultaneously placing Israeli citizens into illegal settlements within private Palestinian territories in violation of international law. This demonstrates the impossibility the Israeli government poses against the existence of a viable Palestinian state.

Israel has redefined Palestinian statehood to include ever less territory and ever less sovereignty. Each year as the Palestinian population increases, Palestinian land size decreases. It is now estimated that 40% of Israeli settlements are built on Private Palestinian land. The age old 'two-state' solution no longer offers a legitimate alternative to Israels current path.

In May last year, the Israeli government announced it's plans to annex 280km squared of private Palestinian land in the West Bank and Jordan Valley. That is a total land size greater than Paris, Athens, Copenhagen and Porto together. As a result of the illegal and sustained annexation of Palestinians land, Al Gharib is eager to announce it's second release 'Palestine', a 35 track compilation seeking to raise awareness towards Israel's illegal annexation of private Palestinian land.

ALL the funds generated from the 'Palestine' CD & Bandcamp sales will be distributed to our friends at Olive Kids who are an Australian registered volunteer only organisation dedicated to improving the lives of Palestinian children in Palestine and in refugee camps within neighbouring countries through financial support, education and medical assistance.

Olive Kids are partnered with Al-Amal Institute for Hope, an orphanage based in Gaza advancing lifesaving support to Palestinian orphans. A large portion of the funds will be distributed by Olive Kids to Al-Amal Institute to sponsor orphans at their orphanage. These funds will be used to cover a bed for residence at the orphanage, food and water for the child, educational classes for the year, medicine and psychiatric support, clothing, stationary and transport to the orphanage. The remaining funds will be directed towards Olive Kids' 'Gaza Emergency Appeal', a project seeking to purchase 6000 hygiene packages, 600 food packages, 2,000 COVID-19 tests and fuel for hospital generators.

You can support the project through the Al Gharib bandcamp page or the olive kids website.

DJ TOOL - Sinkhole

The German FM synthesis wizard Luca Daniel Schwarz aka LDS (https://soundcloud.com/ldstechno) presents his upcoming release 'algo5' on the Berlin label Blue Hour Music (https://soundcloud.com/bluehour909). The EP captures a wide range of sonic ground with an innovative and futuristic edge, like our trembling and thrilling premiere pick: ‘Vone’.

After head-turning releases on Transatlantic and Monnom Black, the mysterious LDS now drops a versatile record full of playful loops, experimental beats and virtuoso melody lines. Being “currently or forever on research”, as the artist puts it, LDS is able to arouse his listeners while making them search for visionary perspectives and new meanings of music at the very same time.

‘Vone’ is the second track of the bursting B-side that propels some dynamic and cracking rhythms through the ether.

It's Not Sucré Without U

FIRE UP: Fifteen successful releases later, Anetha continues to fan the flames with MTY-FEU, an incandescent new compilation. Titled «Ils s’embrasèrent, réduits ensemble», the release stands for fusion and oneness.

Bursting from the depths of the earth, magma is devouring: melting hot techno, deep techno, fast techno, firestorms of trance, eruptions of hard groove, break, mental, smoldering experimental… MTY-FEU is a lava flow of boiling, vital energy, unstoppable and full of blistering textures.

During the Nuit Blanche (A1), we surrender. We, the offer. Our fire is combusting. Our feet, stomping.
Berserk, in a fury, there’s No End (C1) to this party. In a trance, Eternal Echoes (E2) beguiles us all, until we become one into the Molten Core (H2) of Inferno. Ils s’embrasèrent, réduits ensemble.

The incredibly talented visual artist FEMUR crafted the artwork by creating an AI-generated meta-crackle of fire. Diplomatie Studio handled the design while mastering was entrusted to Sixbitdeep, except for Anetha’s edit, where mix and mastering credits go to Le Dom. We’ve opted for bio-vinyls for this release, knowing that one day these records will return to ashes, only to rise again, like the phoenix.

Dolphin 303 - Libera el Stress

RAITO's releases for BNR have always been rave revival floor-fillers, heavily drenched in 90's oldskool breakbeat hardcore, tribal, and darkstep influences.  "One Step Beyond" shows Raito's increasingly unmatched ability to craft bangers that are both festival-ready and so obsessively rooted in rave canon that even the chin-strokers can't deny their appeal.  

The title track brings huge euphoria, with pianos, amens, a reese bassline, diva vocals, rewinds, and an MC bigging up what seems to be the biggest party in the world called "One Step Beyond." It's immersive in a way that moves outside the walls of the track, with the samples providing atmosphere that transports you to another time and place.  "Island Tribe" revisits a format explored on Raito's last EP "Tribal Cave," a conga filled slow-builder that will nearly drive you mad, with the final 30 seconds providing an electrified relief.  "Drop That" could fit in a deep house set- although the thumping kick and high tempo betrays it's own "deepness" for something a bit harder, not to mention you could cut shapes all night to the sticky bassline.  "No More" has Raito closing the release with a more menacing, tension and release structured, breakbeat-jittered house track, leaving the listener feeling like the EP was the last 4 tracks of the night at the biggest party in the world.  Lest we've forgotten the announcer from the title track already, that party is called "One Step Beyond."
