Glasgow based Infinite Wisdom collect works from 5 Artists on the forthcoming cassette and digital release ‘A Thousand Promo Shotz Could Never Compare!’. Working in solace, free from mutual influence but drawing upon the same psychic energies coursing through the magick ley lines of Northern Britain. Ten Years Lost, Sarah Bates, World Crime League, Michael Mann & Fat Rab produce a total of 14 tracks of smudged electronic melancholy; a selection of Ambient, House & Boogie cuts reminiscent of Washington's PPU or Vancouver's  now expired 1080p imprint but produced under the thick grey skies of Scotland, Preston & Manchester, power by yet thicker blooms of weedsmoke and lukewarm cups of tea.

Label head Chris Smith aka Ten Years Lost who's past productions came to prominence on Dublin's Apartment Records and his own bootleg label Mom's Spaghetti, provides the common thread pulling together like-minded artists from Glasgow, Manchester & Preston. Contributing 2 of his own productions in 'Cat People' and 'Fuckyougonnado' as well as 'Cool Runnings' via his Denny Pally collab. 

Manchester based Sarah Bates brings some analogue pagan witchcraft vibes with 2 tracks; 'Wicca' and 'Sleeping Vibes' both up-ing the tempo but retaining the deep tones that colour the compilation throughout. Sarah is an intriguing talent working freely across both music & film as she pleases, releasing on Banoffee Pie & Ruf Dug’s ‘Ruf Kutz’ label whilst producing & scoring her own full length movie 

World Crime League the scarily prolific, Preston based producer, having previously featured on Berlins' Temporize label, contributes 'Morning People', 'Dawn Boogie' & 'We Won', experimenting with VHS Boogie, Yacht Rock and Slow Jam textures, drawing upon his seemingly limitless well of playful melodies and expert programming skills. 

In every skinny, ashen faced bedroom producer there's a Fat Rab ready to jump out. One half of Denny Pally (alongside Ten Years Lost). With 'Dicy', 'Bobby G' and 'Does it Look like Rain', Fat Rab combines a sense of humour with some of the compilation's more head's down grooves that work as well in headspace as a club's floorspace (whenever the fuck that becomes a thing again). 

Lastly are some recently unearthed tracks from Michael Mann. Could it be the famed creator of Miami Vice belatedly going all John Carpenter on us and scoring his own films? Or could it be a discarded side project from Highlands based Dam Ru - label mate of WCL on Temporize? Who knows for sure, we do know Dam Ru's debut album is coming soon on Temporize but Michael Mann's fate is, as yet, undetermined.

22-year-old (!) Tech Support comes through with another expertly crafted piece of dance-floor-filling club music, this time courtesy of Silver Bear Recordings. As en vogue as it is retro-fitted, 'Werkseinstellungen Zurückgesetzt' is an unrelenting slice of euro-dance EBM reminiscent of something you'd be delighted to find in a Belgian bargain bin and found out later is worth £35 on Discogs and you can only get it shipped from Spain. Tasty.

@Nocturnelabel boss Jordan compiles the second installment in his From Belfast With Love series, this time supporting talent from across the city, but also extending a warm invite to some friends further afield.

Although the way in which we consume music has changed and clubs remain closed - From Belfast with Love shows a city standing in solidarity; free to create and connect to those willing to listen.

Across fifteen tracks, artists involved effortlessly move between ambient rich coloured worlds, acid-tinged goodness and rhythmically complex intricacies, inciting feelings of hope, wonder and private contemplation.

Arvo Party and Gibsun provide two stunning pieces of work, as our windows are cracked open and we drift beyond the clouds to worlds less-known, shining a well-deserved light on new talent across the city. Matheson returns to the compilation series with a feel-good nostalgic bubbler, while Belfast's Timmy Stewart debuts his To The Bone project- gifting us a brooding cut of carnivalesque energy. First-time contributors Tech Support and Zillas on Acid embrace odd-ball rhythms and an acid down-pour, giving the compilation a well-rounded edge that can transcend beyond any dancefloor.

100% of compilation profits will be donated to the Disasters Emergency Committee. The charity are working with communities profoundly affected by the corona-virus pandemic, particularly refugees in war-torn countries including Syria, Yemen and South Sudan. Your donation will help raise urgent funds to those fleeing war and living in fragile states and is deeply appreciated.

A city no stranger to conflict, From Belfast With Love unites our love for art, kindness and unity at a time we need it most.

50% of From Belfast with Love wall art to charity in month of February.
