For Ukraine (Mix)

For Ukraine

Among the many benefit albums and compilations that are released in support of the Ukrainian cause, the two that were curated by Hollie Kenniff in collaboration with Headphone Commute deserve special attention because of the wide range of artists presented in the (48) tracks.
All proceedings from these albums will be donated to International Rescue Committee to support displaced children and families with vital supplies during the Crisis in Ukraine.

Volume 1 was released on March 18 and Volume 2 followed on April 29 – so chances are you already know them. If not: check them on Bandcamp with the links below. Support is still needed, because unfortunately the war is not over yet.

 

When Mike (Headphone Commute) Lazarev invited me to do a mix of both albums, I initially hesitated to do so. How to avoid people NOT buying the compilations because they already have the mix? The mix should boost sales, not reduce them.
To avoid redundancy I decided to edit (or shorten) EVERY track in this mix: none of them are included in their original full length! So think of it as ‘preview edits’.
And remember: not all tracks of the two compilations are included in this mix. Only 27 of the 48 tracks are included, so that leaves another 21 ‘musical incentives’ to buy the compilations!

If you like this mix, or even if you dón’t like it, be sure to check out both charity compilations and help support the Ukrainian cause!

    Has it already been 9 months since the war in Ukraine began? This beautifully curated mix of amazing artists is as relevant now as when it was first brought to our ears and our minds. The depth and humanity of each piece is profund. Thank you HC for being here. Hear, hear! Merci.
