Tom Cosm just posted up an EPIC new track on his site(cosm.co.nz). It's a collab track he put together with Melbourne-based artist Circuit Bent. Scrumptious epic glitchy breaks goodness for the soul, and now for the karma! The duo have decided to put the track to good use as a fundraiser for Haiti.

From the site:

The money raised will all go to the Doctors without Borders, a non-religious organization. I've looked into quite of lot of ways we could do this, and this way seems to be the the most help... no bullshit, just emergency medicine and medical care for those who most need it.

The 128kbps MP3 is free to grab, but if you donate, you'll get a link to the full uncompressed wav-file of crispy bassy goodness!

An-ten-nae presents Acid Crunk Vol. 2 is an essential component to the musical lives of those who love West Coast sound. What West Coast sound exactly IS, no one can really say- but listen to this album and you can practically hear the crushing waves of the Pacific Ocean, the strange sizzle of city streets, and the hyped-up yet laid back ethos that pervades the culture in this slice of the world.

Acid Crunk Vol. 2 never relies on an accelerated tempo to deliver its energy or to make the dance floor move, yet accomplishes both feats with flying colors. It has a bass backbone made of steel from which it draws its strength, allowing for exploratory extremities and a head of feral fire. The compilation album features some of the most talented producers in the world today in the realm of dubstep, glitch hop, experimental hip hop and all of their mutant cousins. It is a cocktail of styles- a Long Island Iced Tea, actually, with each component just as strong and kick-ass as the next. When you finish it, your brain will be buzzing and your limbs will be loose. And you will want another round.
