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.

Following on from 2022’s 'The Golden Cage' LP, Veyl revisits Marco Freivogel’s Prequel Tapes with a series of remixes. The original album completed a cycle of themes and exploration that began with 2015’s 'Inner Systems'. 'The Golden Cage' worked off familial trauma and a hyper-realistic dream experience. Now the label presents a collection of striking remixes, adding a powerful epilogue to the body of work.  

Up first, prolific Colombian artist Filmmaker on 'Mind Corner', which injects his brand of mechanical body horror into the cerebral piece. Australia’s Jensen Interceptor makes a splash by ratcheting up the heat with the big bounce of 'I Hate You', while IMOGEN engineers an electro-robotic work from an unknown future or past on 'Stranger or Lover'. 

Next up, DJ Loser takes things back to the club with his floor destroying interpretation of 'Alone' and slowing things back down, Vaal’s remix of 'Last Things' brings the melancholy to the forefront and pushes us down a dark spiral of emotion. Rounding out the release, Prequel Tapes revamps his own track with 'I Hate You (Prequel Tapes Salvage Mix)', which is the perfect ending to this chapter, fuelled by fear, anger but ultimately hope.

Returning to his home base, Rotterdam based electro-techno mainstay @Conforce presents a heavy pack of angular, experimental approaches on his latest offering into the Delsin databank. Boris Bunnik’s accomplished machine language has traversed deep and dubby soundscapes with punchy, club-focused fare alike, since 2010’s Grace EP he has found a regular home on Delsin and it's always exciting to see what he comes up with next.

Where Conforce has commonly housed Bunnik’s more melancholic, introspective work, the sound palette on Sins Of Synthesis is more tipped towards darker dimensions. The shadow of braindance looms large, guiding the music towards twitchy pattern manipulation, alien textural design and dissonant harmonics. Bunnik’s signature sense of melody can still be detected around the edges, from the distant, hazy pads of ‘Charlatan’ to the lingering chimes of ‘Fragile’, but this is a pointed new direction for Conforce and it’s leading somewhere very interesting...

Conforce - Sins of Synthesis (156DSR)

Venture deep into the mystical realm of "The Wailing Woods," where the ancient trees whisper secrets and the ethereal melodies of trance weave a tapestry of enchantment. In this otherworldly compilation, embark on a musical odyssey through the shadows of a forest steeped in magic and mystery.

🍄 As you traverse the winding paths, beware the elusive Faeirelings, mischievous sprites that dance among the luminescent mushrooms, leaving trails of bewilderment in their wake. The air is thick with the pulsating beats of this music, resonating with the heartbeat of the enchanted woods. Allow the athmosphere to guide you, but tread cautiously, for the siren call of the woods our creatures can lead even the most steadfast wanderer astray.

🌿 Amidst the towering trees, ancient guardians known as Sylvan Spirits emerge from the emerald foliage. These majestic beings move in harmony with the pulsating rhythms, their luminous eyes reflecting the kaleidoscopic hues of the psychedelic vibrations. The very air seems to shimmer with energy as you become entangled in the symbiosis of nature and sound.

🔍 Yet, beware the shadows that stir in the depths of the "Wailing Woods." Unseen creatures, drawn to the hypnotic cadence, lurk just beyond the moonlit glades. Will-o'-wisps flicker like spectral lanterns, tempting the adventurous souls to stray into the heart of the unknown.

🎶 "The Wailing Woods" beckons those who seek an immersive auditory experience, where the mystical and the musical coalesce. Unearth the tracks that resonate with the ancient energy of the forest, but remember, in this enchanting realm, the line between reality and fantasy blurs, and one must navigate the bewitching symphony with caution. Let the journey begin, but heed the age-old warning – in the heart of "The Wailing Woods," music is both the key and the riddle. 🔮🌲
