This album is to create funds for prisoners of Kill the Bill (KTB) protests in March of 2021. The funds raised will be donated to the Bristol Anarchist Black Cross who organise the crucial work to support the prisoners. We have pieced this together from several members of our community from across the country who have been kind enough to provide tracks for this album. A massive thanks is also in order to @mollyydrew (instagram) for the album cover!

At the time of writing we have seen 30 comrades imprisoned for fighting an authoritarian piece of legislation. They collectively have been sentenced to 94 years and eights months, a lifetime spent in prison. Their liberty has been taken away from them by the machinations of the British state. This loss of liberty is exposure to the true nature of the state’s monopoly of violence where they will witness those who lose their lives to the prison system. The UK may not have the death penalty but the penalty of prison for some is death. They have lost their freedom, so we must use ours to support them whilst they are captives of the state.

These comrades are friends, travelers, fellow ravers, squatters, activists and chosen family members. Some of these people we have never met, some of them we have but one thing is certain and that is we must support each and every one of them because I know that in our community they would support us if we were in their place.

“The freedom we want, for ourselves and for others, is not an absolute metaphysical, abstract freedom which in practice is inevitably translated into the oppression of the weak; but it is real freedom, possible freedom, which is the conscious community of interests, voluntary solidarity.”
― Errico Malatesta

Along with our event announcement we have the first of our resident mix series kicking it off with pumping tribecore and hardtek blammers from one of our crew members - The Dissident

Hope you all enjoy

BOLTCROPPER RESIDENCY - The Dissident

In our next installment of our residency series we have @baggpuss with a banging 45m of acid techno. A sound that has been tragically on the backfoot for the past few years. Big respect to this lad for pushing it on the 4x4 heads out in the fields.

Catch him playing at our next event on the 13th April. And make sure you wear your best boots so you don't bloody your toes from all the stomping you'll do.

ACID FUCKING TECHNO BABY!!!!

BOLTCROPPER RESIDENCY - BAGGPUSS

After a break since our last upload its about time we put up some more DJ sets. To kick this off with a slamming half hour of all things acid from one of our residents. Perfect to rag through your hatchback's speakers as you hurtle down the m5 on a Saturday night.

Next up in our monthly mix series we have A1-E (@a1e_uk) with half an hour of slamming 909s, 303s, hoovers and whatever other classic hard techno sounds get you going.

So crack open a few tinnies, crank up your speakers well over neighbor upsetting levels and get your stomp on.
