About this product
Kith & Kin, the new transatlantic tag based in New Jersey, USA and Huddersfield, UK, is pleased to announce it's inaugural , Freedom of the Press. The project was conceived purely as a fundraiser for the Freedom of the Press Foundation and built with love. -The contributing artists showcase the breadth and vibrancy of the modern psychedelic songwriter scene, sharing a tone, point-of-view and collective vibe that permeates the album. -The artists, all of whom donated their tracks for the cause, include Trummors, The Weather Station, Garcia Peoples, One Eleven Heavy, Rosali, Hans Chew, Wooden Wand, Sunwatchers, Nick Mitchell Maiato, John Andrews & The Yawns, Tom Settle and Friends, Bob Hughes, Elkhorn, and 75 Dollar Bill. -The lever of journalism to root out corruption keeps our society in balance. But it comes at a cost to individual journalists; it can be dangerous work speaking out against power. The daily erosion of our essential freedoms also comes at a cost to the rest of us a sense of ambient dread and powerlessness. And yet, the research, writing, and publishing of information against the will of the powerful can be a generous offering, a source of light. At it's best great journalism is a reminder that we're all connected and moving through the world together. -Which brings us to the music on Freedom of the Press. It was our intention to highlight music with a sense of joy and being free. And when I listen now, I hear a lightness to the songs, a sweetness and ease, the collective sigh of the artistic plight that also combats powerlessness and draws us closer. -It's not protest music per se, but the music on Freedom of the Press is imbued with the characteristics and vibes of the protest music and InchCosmic AmericanInch cultural shift of the late-'60s and beyond. I hear bits and pieces of Bob Dylan and the Grateful Dead, Gram Parsons and Fleetwood Mac, John F

Planet Mu is a tag that has always survived on it's own very independent terms. For 20 years it's existed both on the fringes and in the centre of emerging electronic music, from IDM and breakcore to dubstep and grime and lately to footwork, which it took a chance on, opening it up to the world through the two Bangs & Works compilations. It also has a strong history of connecting the dots in between those genres by supporting idiosyncratic artists, from tag stalwart Venetian Snares to Kuedo, Machinedrum, Boxcutter, Vex'd, Falty DL, Luke Vibert, Ital, Jlin and Mr. Mitch to name just a few. Run by Mike Paradinas, who under the name µ-Ziq was one of the first wave of producers pushing the musical envelope in the wake of house and techno's initial burst of inspiration, Planet Mu is an established engine of creativity and enquiry, with one foot in the pop world, and a sense of fun that never let's it's experimentation disappear into exclusivity and snobbery. To celebrate their 20th Anniversary, Planet Mu have organised a 50-track, triple CD compilation of both old and new unreleased tracks and remixes packaged in a deluxe DVD-style boxset complete with a 100 page book charting the history of the tag, with insight from artists and staff, written by electronic music writer Rory Gibb. The music on CDs one and two is mainly from the current decade, with contributions from Kuedo, Machinedrum, John Wizards, Ital Tek, Remarc, Boxcutter, RP Boo, John T. Gast, Jlin and new signing Herva to name but a few. They're colourful, broad and adventurous rides across the roster that will impress and excite any fan of electronic music and are a strong reminder of the consistent quality and broad mindedness of the tag too. CD three features more of the older guard, dipping back into the roster from the late nineties and early 2000s with a range of noisier, knottier contributions from artists
