For this year’s World Mental Health Day, we at Orphan. Records have asked 14 musicians to contribute to a charity compilation in aid of the Child Mind Institute in New York.

In addition to curating this track list, we have asked each participant to share a little about their own experiences with mental health issues and their pursuit of music. With both the release and our accompanying article, we hope to shed light on an issue we feel very passionate about in attempts to spark conversations in our industry and beyond and raise money for a charity doing incredibly important work.

We chose to benefit Child Mind because we feel that the next generation of musicians deserves to be better equipped to handle the day to day struggles of mental health issues.

Max Winter is a London-based composer (most recently featuring on Or:la's 'MMXX Leap' compilation on her Céad label) whose electronic productions are unique in that much of them were produced for choreographed dance pieces. A student of composition at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance, Max wrote latest EP ‘Aporia' for a contemporary dance piece choreographed by Thomas Page, another Trinity alumnus. After the dance was premiered in January 2019, Max decided to condense the score into an EP, which is now seeing a release on Cherche Encore. "This was originally two separate tracks from different moments in the dance," Max Winter says of 'CCK 4', which we're premiering below. "I stitched them together and added the voice of Annika Kordes, who narrated the performance. It is probably the one track on the EP that covers all aspects of the dance." On 'CCK 4', a shimmering synth line is underpinned by a complex array of skittering breakbeats sounding akin to Squarepusher or Venetian Snares. Tune in below.

To kick off the SYN12 catalog, we’ve brought together 5 exclusive tracks from Northern producers Baccy Beard, Krotone, Ren, Wooda and Yilan.


A short-run of tapes will be pressed with exclusive artwork by Lucas Owen.


The EP aims to set the tone of the label and match the energy of the syn12 nights, keeping a shining light on underground club music .


The opening track ‘Bright Light’ injects a dark dose of swing to the lineup, with a swaggering 808 bounce and shuffle-step drum pattern designed to move crowds. The sultry vocal line and warped bass is fit for any warehouse or club rave, and Krotone carries the momentum throughout.


Yilans contribution is a syncopated lock-step workout of abstract percussion and sound design. The pulsing bass tones and skeletal beat science employed in ‘Vog’allude to the more sinister corners of dubstep and down-tempo electronic beats.


The gritty third track snatches back into a higher speed. ‘Revive’embodies a hectic agglomeration of styles, snagging transecting elements of drum & bass and European techno filled with dark moods, snarling bass and intense rhythms.


Ren brings a 2-step pace to the fourth track ‘Torque’, delivering cybernetic dancehall grooves and tuned resonances with laser-guided automation. The breakdown offers a dark glimpse of euphoria, with a devastating drop and white-hot synth lead.


Closing off the Compilation: Baccy Beard’s uncluttered transmission of rave-hybrid engineering locks into the angular dimensions of electro and grime, with mad flashes of jagged bass and icy synths for good measure.


The state of modern UK Techno is a complex one, but as a collection of tracks Syn12’s first release joins the dots between some of the disparate but contingent dance floor methodologies with and mix of joy and dread. This compilation provides a snapshot to a community of assertive DJs and producers ready to set minds and feet in motion
