The Vinyl Project is a tool for DJs, musicians, MCs, activists and most of all the people.
The soundbites on this record include chilling voices on repression and glimmering assertions of resistance. The Vinyl Project collective hopes these sounds will pollinate your beats, noise, melodies and community.
