Ethically sourced music

Hi chaps

On the 8th October me and my studio partner recorded, mixed, mastered and released a 15 track compilation album in a weekend for the charity War On Want. We recorded 11 artists, starting at ten am on the Saturday, and the finished product was up for sale online at midnight on the Sunday (well, five past actually, for boring upload reasons...) - it was an awesome weekend, and I'm happy to report it's also a quality record! The lineup is 11 of Sheffield's finest acts and includes mixes from Ross Orton (producer of the last Fall record, currently working with Arctic Monkeys) and remixes from two top electronic producers, Adi Carter and Mental Health Problems.

As I'm sure you're aware, charities are getting some hammer at the moment so we really wanted to do something demonstrative to show our support. There are so many amazing services that we take for granted that are provided by the charitable sector here in the UK that will just be swept away without our realising and it's important that we recognise this.

You can find it on iTunes and have a preview listen here:

Also, check out www.exposedmagazine.co.uk - they've done an excellent piece on the project and there'll be an exclusive EP to download in the next few days of tracks recorded over the time period but which didn't make the album cut. Believe it or not

If you have the time and are inclined to give i a listen, feedback, a slating a purchase, whatever, that would be great!

Thanks for reading
