Selector’s Sounds series follows a procedure that puts music quality before status or industry relationships. Learn how it works.
Showcasing a broad range of the Copenhagen fast techno spectrum is a fundraiser compilation by Fast Forward Productions. Comprising 10 tracks, Fast Forward Fundraiser Compilation 2 is a benefit for trans advocacy organization TransAktion. It released July 30th, 2020.
From trance-reminiscent cuts like “Die Anyway” by Ezy to such sterile soundscapes as “Changeable As In Liquid” by Peachlyfe. “Den Lange” by Sugar and Schacke – the arguable standout of the lot – leans toward the latter style. Crisp sonics and otherworldly atmospheres give the track high marks for originality.
For the Cause
100% of the proceeds from Fast Forward Fundraiser Compilation 2 will be donated to TransAktion, who are also based in Denmark. The organization follow “a depathologizing, devictimizing, norm-critical and intersectional approach and with a broad and inclusive definition of trans,” according to their statement. Recently, they have raised awareness of how COVID-19 lockdowns have put trans-specific healthcare resources out of reach.
The first installment of the compilation came out in September of 2019 as a benefit for Together We Push. The organization advocated on behalf of Muslim refugees detained in incarceration camps on account of “racist and xenophobic legislation” implemented by Danish politician Rasmus Paludan.
