a compilation in support of
those working towards
a just and equitable society

___
update (11/02/20):
we raised just about $1000 for these organizations, thank you so much for your support!

to raise support for organizations focused on ending mass incarceration, building Black unity, and engaging in cultural and systemic transformation, the Ithaca event series Microtones has announced the release of a 39 track compilation of electronic music to raise funds for Alliance of Families for Justice, Southside Community Center, and Multicultural Resource Center.

Alliance of Families for Justice seeks to support, empower and mobilize families and individuals impacted by the criminal justice system so they can marshal their collective power to create a just world.

Southside Community Center works to affirm, empower, and foster the development of self-pride among the African-American citizens of greater Ithaca.

Multicultural Resource Center engages in cultural and systemic transformation by building with communities to eliminate barriers to racial justice, cultural dignity, equity and inclusion, and indigenous rights.

the compilation features over three hours of previously unreleased material from veteran and rising producers, spanning the far reaches of electronic music.

otodojo from Microtones shares words about the compilation:
“I felt the strong urge to support those working for social justice and community building, yet felt limited in the tangible support I could offer. as music has been a pillar for me during these times, I wanted to transform sound into support for those who have been doing crucial work for systemic change. after contacting several producers, I found that they shared similar feelings, and soon many donated their tracks. electronic music plays an important part in our lives and through this project we hope to transform it into support; turning waves into seeds of justice, mending, and growth.”

all proceeds will go directly to Alliance of Families for Justice, Southside Community Center, and Multicultural Resource Center.

we’re working with Bandcamp to maximize the donation amount that gets through to these organizations. if you’re unable to financially commit to this compilation and desire to download the tracks, please send us a message on instagram (@microtones.ith).

A clinic in minimal from the elusive Acting Press boss. 

Why do certain sounds cultivate a cult following? Simply put, it's often because they resist easy consumption. PLO Man and his imprint Acting Press lean into this. 

Searching for the Berlin-based DJ and producer, you won’t find much online presence, interviews or conventional PR. What you will find, if you look hard enough, is a catalogue of records and mixes with a kind of tape hiss charm (a spiritual successor to Basic Channel and Chain Reaction, but scuzzier and lighter on its feet).

Founded in 2015, Acting Press once seemed to belong to the short-lived "outsider house" trend, but is now synonymous with a certain strain of modern minimal, one that is analogue, spacious and pointedly opaque. PLO Man's output is equally sparse by design: this week, he joins the RA Podcast with a characteristically elusive style, accompanying the near two-hour mix is a one-answer Q&A that gives almost nothing away.

Stripped-back, ever-so-slightly sleazy and coated in dust, PLO Man's RA Podcast continues that lineage in style. Opening with the featherlight microhouse of Margaret Dygas, RA.988 unfolds into a carefully curated spectrum of minimal, dub and deep techno. Among familiar names—look out for the blinding Rhythm & Sound and Moodymann blend—are deep cuts and left turns alongside the odd outlier, like lovers' rock pioneer Gregory Isaacs.

Like the best of his forebears, PLO Man wants RA.988 to take time for you to settle in. But once you do, you won’t want to leave.

Presenting the ever-lovely and ever-inspiring @mikemidnight for #175 in the series. The Boorloo/ Perth based artist initially garnered attention through his output of insanely dreamy trip-hop productions... the perfect combination of emotional & uplifting, and immaculately produced. Mike plays live as a solo artist and now makes up 1/3 of the exciting new band Trickpony, made up of Roza Terenzi, Emkay & Mike himself. 

Beyond his knack for weaving tear-jerkingly beautiful trip hop infused songs - Mike is also a great DJ. Here, with a more club-oriented mix, he showcases his taste & talent, a BTS look into the genres & moods that make up the mind of the talented artist.

Very happy to have you in the series Mike! Thanks for the mix <3
