»LEAVE A LIGHT ON« – DONATE FOR BLACK YOUTH PROJECT 100

Fight Racism - Donate for Black Youth Project 100 by PHON.O, released 04 June 2020 1. "Leave A Light On (2020)" feat Tunde Olaniran It's really hard to see what's going on in the World, especially the USA. I stand in solidarity with Black communities around the globe and I'm inspired by everyone who is fighting for racial justice and equality.

It's really hard to see what's going on in the World, especially the USA. I stand in solidarity with Black communities around the globe and I’m inspired by everyone who is fighting for racial justice and equality. I want to support the Black Lives Matter movement and have already personally donated to several funds. But it’s not enough. I’m inviting you to join me.

When you buy this song I did with my friend and long time activist Tunde Olaniran (a queer Black artist from Flint, Michigan), all proceeds will go directly to Black Youth Project 100 (www.byp100.org). They are a Black-Led, youth-led abolitionist group in the USA with dozens of chapters across the country, and do many things including train people to lead direct action protests. BYP100 works tirelessly to end inequality, to stop gender violence against black women, girls, femmes and other non-conforming people.

So please feel free to give as much as you can. It's for a better world that we all urgently need.

Thanks and stay safe!
Carsten

For transparency, I will update the amount raised and donated to BYP100 every two weeks here on my website.

PHON.O – Get Over It EP (IDEAL EUROPA 01) Release: May 17th ARTWORK by Christian Thoelke ( http://christian-thoelke.de/ ) Carsten Aermes has been delivering top notch production via his Phon.o moniker since the early 00's. His trademark has evolved, but kept a consistent kernel formation: futuristic chord developments, bass epicness and colourful patterns from the city known for its damp, grey halls of techno. The four tracks bring you strong, nonconformist rugged and dancefloor dedicated beats right from the first bar. On "We Just Begun" he plays with a watery microtonal intro that would feel at home both in Colundi or in a Bristol club. On "Back To Black" he lets the percussion take the lead, kick drums swinging over a thick bassline and triplet rims. "Overtake Without Catching Up" is the Ep's more narrative track that brings together driving drums and melancholic synth patterns, keeping it psychedelic with a rolling bassline that stretches across the harmony. "Bright Sun" opens already nervously and tense, with a pulsating Chicago-style chord opening the way for harder but somehow slick drums. The bass/synth melody work releases the tension and opens up, perfect for those dancers or dj's listening beyond the beat. Mixed by Cesar Urbina a.k.a.
