"There Is A Kandi Kid Inside All Our Heads. He Must Be Destroyed," Xtended Release's manifesto reads. The former Los Angeles party and current label is uninterested in dance music as escapism. The collective considers the rave as another means to confront political realities, and their new compilation does exactly that. The record benefits Street Watch LA, an organization working to protect the rights of poor and unhoused people in LA. Among the highlights are Maral's disjointed and dreamy "let's go," a track that borders industrial and ambient with brushes of Middle Eastern percussion. DJ Peer-2-Peer's "Unite" is also a trip, starting out with a meditative intro that recalls the first few moments of Prince's "Lets Go Crazy" before blazing into hardwire acid. - Resident Advisor
