Premiere: Fiyahdred – The Shuffle

Bristol’s excess share their second charity VA compilation to raise money for FareShare Southwest.

The waiting room was sparse and cold, the only objects in the room were a trail of chairs that lined the bare, grey walls. The few people sat around spent most of the time looking down at their feet and twiddling their thumbs; avoiding contact was imperative. She’d decided to pick a point on the wall to stare at as she shifted from side to side in her seat, shuffling her feet to keep herself awake. How long had she been here?

ANY BPM Vol.2 marks the second charitable various artists compilation from Bristolian imprint and collective excess. The first instalment dropped last year, raising money for Music Venue Trust’s #saveourvenues campaign, and now they’re focusing on collecting funds for FareShare Southwest, a charity donating surplus food to families, charities and community projects in Bristol and the surrounding areas. Spanning everything from 2-step, grime, UK funky and jungle, the release features music from 19 artists from around the world including Kaval, yourboykiran, Bolam and Fiyahdred.
