Alex from Lurid Music:

'Aggelos first approached Lurid Music with the idea for this project a few months ago. We agreed on one condition, that all proceeds be donated to refugee causes, like we did with his Black Sea EP which supported the Syrian refugee crisis. When Russia invaded Ukraine, we decided our focus had to be helping the Ukrainian refugees who were forced to leave their homes in search of safe havens abroad.

We discussed this with most contributors to the project and the consensus was that donations should strictly go to humanitarian groups and not any armament funds. There were also some thoughts about helping conflict-affected peoples in other parts of the world but we decided it was too much to tackle for a relatively small project like this one.

Therefore, donations stemming from the sales of this release will be distributed to the following humanitarian groups currently active in Ukraine or neighboring countries welcoming refugees:

- International Medical Corps: internationalmedicalcorps.org/emergency-…n-ukraine/
- Urgent Action Fund for Women’s Human Rights - Ukraine Urgent Response Fund: urgentactionfund.org
- Polish Humanitarian Action: www.pah.org.pl/en/donate/
- World Central Kitchen: wck.org/relief/activation-chefs-for-ukraine

We were fortunate to receive pro bono contributions from four highly-esteemed mastering engineers: Taylor Dupree (www.12kmastering.com), Brian Kage (kagemastering.squarespace.com), Dietrich Schoenemann (completemastering.com) and Tim Vitek (timvitekmastering.com). We are thankful for their meticulous work, especially to Dietrich for enlisting his fellow engineers to help with the massive remix load, 44 tracks are definitely too much for one person to listen to in such a short span.

The artwork was provided by Bill Brown, a Maryland native who lives and works in Ukraine. When the war started, he made his way safely to Germany via Poland. This illustration is an homage to Maria Prymachenko’s “May That Nuclear War be Cursed!”, which also inspired the title of this release.

Release Info :

Various Artists - WARM01

Warming, the Chill Out division of Warning, was initiated by resident Mars Leder as a mix series in 2019. Since then the aim has been to provide a cold world with warm vibes and help us to calm down in hectic times. We’re taking the sub-project further now and present WARM01, the first Ambient music release on Warning. With seven carefully selected tracks by Areliz Ramos (@arelizramos), Yhdessa (@yhdessaaa), Caldera (@caldera-caldera), Premis (@premismusic), Lewi Boom (@lewiboome), Vertical 67 (@vertical67) and Warning resident Philipp Otterbach with his new project KYN (@philipp-otterbach). The compilation aims to reflect the versatility of the genre, from mellow textures and floating voices to fractal patterns and rapture basslines. Don’t expect any ordinary elevator music or beach cafe vibes - this one is chill, but it’s still a Warning.

WARM01 comes as a digital compilation accompanied by a C90 cassette tape, containing a DJ mix by Mars Leder including all tracks from the compilation plus a DJ set excerpt of Sam, played for the closing of our 5Y Warning party in August 2022.
