Deer hold a very special place in human hearts. Most of us think of Disney’s doe-eyed Bambi, but these ethereal creatures appear in cave paintings dating back 17,000 years and have featured in all kinds of myths and fairy tales for centuries since. For humans they typically symbolize strength and grace, but they’re vital to keeping the natural world healthy too. Deer maintain an environmental equilibrium and provide food for some of the world’s most epic hunters like jaguars, wolves and lynx. Human interference through hunting, habitat destruction and climate change throws everything off balance and can cause whole ecosystems to collapse. If plants die off, there’s less food for the deer and less deer for the predators. If the carnivores die off, deer overpopulation and disease can become an issue. We need to protect deer, not just because they’re glamorous, but for the ecosystems that rely on them. Buy the release now. All proceeds will be donated to www.bund.net/bund-in-english/

CrucifyMe is an upcoming producer from the Ukraine and already has done some rocksolid releases on Axon Records. His breathtaking music did not disappoint on labels like Swarm Music or Paperfunk Recordings either and we are really glad to present a techy single from him as well. The artwork is handmade and the painting was done by the fantatstic Mimbelbi.

Bats have a bad reputation - branded as blood-sucking vampires for centuries, and more recently shunned for potentially harbouring and spreading COVID. But these deeply misunderstood and undervalued creatures of the night are essential to keeping balance in our planet’s ecosystems. They pollinate plants, disperse seeds, and help humans out by eating literal tons of insect pests every year. They're the only mammals that can properly fly, and if you’ve ever laid eyes on one you’ll see they’re actually pretty cute. Bats are very vulnerable to environmental threats like habitat loss, light pollution and disease. Every contribution helps protect them, no matter how small. All proceeds will be donated to Friends of the Earth Germany (BUND): www.bund.net/bund-in-english/.

Victim from New Zealand returns to T3K Recordings with a full EP after quite a while. But he landed on Vision Recordings, Citrus Recordings and PrgRAM in the meantime and also managed to level up his producing game again. We are really excited to announce this stunning release featuring fellow kiwi producer Bambi and astonishing artwork by Mimbelbi.

The rare and mysterious Chaco eagle of South America is on the brink of extinction - less than 1000 are believed to still live in the wild and they’ve likely already been wiped out in Uruguay. These giant birds of prey are shy, enigmatic creatures and even now relatively little is known about them. Populations have been on the decline for years because of forest loss and clashes with human activity. They’re often found electrocuted by pylons or drowned in water tanks, and face direct persecution due to claims that they attack livestock (spoiler alert: they don’t). Many end up shot or poisoned. For such a small population, even a handful of deaths a year can be devastating for the species’ survival. But on the flip side, saving even one eagle’s life makes a huge positive difference too. That is why we donate all money made from this release to the Friends of the Earth Germany (BUND) who take care of species like that (see https://www.bund.net/bund-in-english/).

The magnificent ghost-white Snowy Owl is under threat from climate change. Snowy Owls inhabit the icy Arctic Tundra and depend on lemmings as their number one food source. As global temperatures rise, snow and sea ice recede, rain levels increase and parasites and diseases flourish, lemming populations die off and take the Snowy Owls with them. Losing these stunning silent swoopers from the face of the planet would be a real tragedy. This is the reason why all proceeds from this release will be donated to World Wildlife Fund (WWF).

LeStr is from Kazakhstan and his release on Twisted Individuals Grid Recordings was a wake up call for us. We hit him up, asked for tracks and got a full EP with more than a handful of pounding bass and sinister vibes. Straight. Afterwards we found out he also released on Noisias Invisible years ago. What a guy. Big ups Mimbelbi for the topnotch artwork.

We can’t talk about conservation without looking at the past casualties of human actions, like the now-extinct Tasmanian tiger, or thylacine. With a dog-like appearance and striking tiger stripes, thylacines were the largest carnivores in the marsupial family and actually not related to tigers or wolves at all. They had huge teeth-filled mouths and powerful jaws that could stretch open 120 degrees, and were widely feared by European arrivals to Tasmania in the 1800s. The settlers brought sheep and cattle and believed thylacines attacked them (despite a lack of evidence). In reality thylacines were shy and mostly hunted small prey like birds and rodents. Bounties were offered for dead thylacines and thousands were killed. Finally in 1936, 59 days after the thylacine was officially declared a ‘protected species’, the last thylacine died in a zoo after being accidentally locked out in freezing temperatures overnight. No other living thylacines were ever found. It’s truly tragic that these unique animals were wiped out. We need to take action now to help save other species from extinctionand therefor all proceeds from this release will be donated to World Wildlife Fund (WWF).

Brain from Colombia is one of the most important artists of his country. Not only his releases on Dispatch Recordings or Sofa Sound and so many others show what he is capable of but he is always keeping himself busy with doing samplepacks, throwing events and supporting other artists productions. You can spot his productions from miles away and we feel blessed to have a such a good EP from him in stock. The perfect artwork for this release comes from Mimbelbi.
