http://www.igiveyougive.org/Gift/50/foreign-concept/music-for-aleppo

I'm giving away 8 previously unreleased tracks in return for a donation to the charity Doctors Without Borders/Medicines Sans Frontieres in order to aid them with the work they are currently doing amongst the travesties that are currently occurring  in Aleppo and across the rest of Syria.  100% of your donation goes directly to the charity.

 My friend in Bristol managed to escape Syria last year (part of his journey involved swimming across the English Channel in the middle of the night) so the situation over there is something I've followed closely.  

Doctors Without Borders support eight hospitals in the city of Aleppo. They also run six medical facilities across northern Syria and support more than 150 health centres and hospitals across the country, many of them in besieged areas.  

You can get the tracks from this link here -

I've set the minimum donation for 8 tracks as £4 but please give what you can. 

 Thanks to Mikal, Stray, Hyroglifics and Riya for their involvement in these tracks.  

Merry Christmas and I hope you enjoy the music! 

Cheers, Matt x

Ps
If you are a music producer/singer/DJ/band etc.. please do consider using www.igiveyougive.org as a platform to raise money for your chosen charity. It's a very simple to use website and they do not take any cut of the donations.

Pre-order: http://www.criticalmusic.com/release/emperor-dispositions-the-remixes/

Emperor’s debut LP ‘Dispositions’ was one of last years most acclaimed drum & bass albums to have hit the shelves. Leaving a wake of devastation behind it, Emperor returns to re-run three of the fans’ favourites with brand new takes on them from Phace, Klax and Ivy Lab. The results are in and as expected they sound so, so good.

Signs are a drum & bass outfit well known for their 174bpm riddims, with a back catalogue which has continued to dominate the darker realms. The French trio have pushed forward their cut throat assault with every consecutive release, gracing the discographies of the independent imprints who are currently leading the creative processes within their scene, crafting their own influence across one of dance music most unforgiving genres. And this time, they’re set to drop an atomic sized release via the home grown Othercide:Subverse, the sister-label of Othercide Records and a label dedicated primarily to releasing half-time. And together, they’ll demonstrate why there’s been growing interest within the French market, cutting above their European counterparts with the Bandulu EP.

One factor which has enabled Signs to push forward their sound is an unbridled sense of versatility. The Bandulu EP drops the tempo for two brand new records, 2/2 dancefloor slayers which slice open subs and leave bass peddles reverberating through speaker stacks. Title-track Bandulu sets the pace; a lumbering mass of sonic dissonance and heavy distortion, it steps out with its refined engineering. It’s a slick mass of beats and drums, with pulses of percussion and diced up vocal samples creating a call to arms beneath the mix. Signs’ next offering Flexible is just as thumping, pushing forward on chiselled kick drums and a groove which instantly snares you in its grasp. The outfit certainly deliver for their forthcoming release, highlighting their positions as pioneers within their field.

And finally, you’re introduced to remixes from both Host and CRIMES!, who pay homage to the originals whilst giving their own twist on each track. Whilst the US –based CRIMES! brings a more melodic spin to Bandulu, with an extra-terrestrial underpinning, Host moves Flexible into more minimal territories. Both reworks add another dimension to their predecessors and they bring yet more artists under the Othercide:Subverse umbrella. Together, they represent a new era for Othercide and the French dance music circuit. The scene is as healthy as it ever was and Othercide are leading the charge for yet another groundbreaking marker in its history.

Perth Halftime Compilation Vol. 1

Confusious - Need Your Love

After a small hiatus, Uprise Audio burst back into action with their next release ‘Parallel EP’ by Kyrist - one of the hottest properties in Drum And Bass right now. Kyrist marks her effortless transition to the 140 realm with four cutting edge tracks displaying a plethora of styles, technique and soul. The brilliance on display here showcases why she has made such an impact on the Drum And Bass scene, and signals for the world of Dubstep to take note and pay attention.

The EP kicks off with ‘Cry’ which as suggested in the title is tinged in emotion. Haunting melodic vocals are paired with an energetic palette of percussion and intelligent sound design riding the rhythm track concocting an array of sonic bliss. 

‘Chime’ begins with a much sharper intention and with a snare that you can feel in your chest. With a colder approach, the emotions are stripped back to allow the sub bass to resonate freely, giving space to growling mids and tense riser FX, summarised into a heavy tech step, space age feel.

The third track, ‘Gateway’, conjures beauty with space. Sticking to a tech stepping agenda laid down by the first two tracks, the intricate arrangement of mid-range sounds form a unique groove which carries the listener on a journey through intergalactic soundscapes.

The EP closes with ‘Solace’ which continues the cosmic journey we have have embarked upon. Jungle-esque break beats are navigated by forward thinking sound design elements, creating an ever shifting groove pattern within its detailed array of sounds. 

‘Parallel EP’ is a classy first outing from Kyrist in to the dubstep world and stylistically could not have landed on a more suited home than Uprise Audio. The release acts as a serious statement of intent from the label who burst back into the new year, reinvigorated to continue their ethos of developing new and exciting artists in to some of Dubsteps brightest talents.
