The next release on London-based label @injazerorecords is a v/a compilation with all the proceedings going to mental health charity Mind. Spanning ambient, modern classical, and experimental electronic music, 'INJACOMP001' features contributions from the likes of EOMAC, Matt Emery and Throwing Snow side project Heathen Rites.

We're premiering a beautiful track called 'Closer' by Ukraine producer Oleg Shpudeiko aka @heinali. Here's what he had to say about it:

"'Closer' is from a far away 2012. Back then, I was finding my way back from a dark place I spent a great deal of time in before. So it's a fairly simple - I would even say therapeutic - recording that was brought about by a certain emotional experience. Memories of this experience grew dull with time, but the recording remains as is."
