This October, the final reading of the Nationality and Borders Bill – known as the Anti-Refugee Bill – will be presented to parliament. If it goes through, this Bill will allow the UK to reject an estimated 9,000 asylum seekers who are currently eligible to claim settlement every year.

Electronic dance music culture is rich because of the people who make it up. Diversity is built into the UK’s roots: it is what enables our music to thrive. At Pollination, we refuse narratives that separate and dehumanise people. Instead, embracing the deep human values of unity, care and connection.

Join us in celebrating the blend of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives that form the fabric of our scene. As members of the UK’s creative community, we come together to stand against this cruel and inhumane Bill. We believe that the UK, our home, is a place that welcomes all people.

100% of the profit raised from the campaign and event will be sent to Kent Refugee Action Network (KRAN), a brilliant independent charity who work with young people to rebuild their lives after arriving unaccompanied in the UK to seek asylum.

We are delighted to present CA007, the Suspiria LP bought to life by none other than the spell binding producer that is Shjva.

The first LP of the label, Shjva brings us a seven part story. Each track an insight in to her world, with a signature hypnotic and tastefully psychedelic leaning.

Rich elemental grooves flow through this psychoactive album. The plants sway in unison, while the ground rumbles with a deep volcanic energy.

Available in digital format as well as a ltd edition CD & poster pack.

Mastered by Joe Buchanan.

1. Braised
2. Communing
3. Broken Through
4. Braised (al dente remix)

After seven years since his last release, label CEO Mr Assister makes a long-overdue return to beam. Across four tracks, including a remix from close friend of the label, al dente, the EP explores the rhythmic and psychoactive spaces between techno, tek haus, and minimal psy. Opening the EP, ‘Braised’ juxtaposes two sensibilities, situating playful grooves amid droning, disaffected atmospheres. ‘Communing’ builds on the rolling templates of psychedelic trance, with swarms of glitched-out percussion and pads that reveal traces of melancholia. In ‘Broken Through’, four-four kicks dip their toes into streams of acid, reflecting textures of technological breakdown. Rounding off the EP, al dente reimagines ‘Braised’ via his signature brand of warping swamp-tek.

Written and produced by Mr Assister. 
Stem mastering (tracks 1-3) and mastering (track 4) by Pearson Sound.
