The beautiful thing about music is that it can be shaped into countless mediums. Of course music can be an outlet for emotion, but it can also be a time capsule to simpler times or a symbol to rally behind; there are endless ways to implement the power of music. For example, one of the most effective ways to spread a message or heighten awareness is by utilizing the binding nature of music to strengthen your cause. Gravitas Recordings has joined forces with Every90minutes, a 501 (c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to funding ALS research through music and events, to curate a unique and diverse compilation of electronic music for a very deserving cause.

Beat ALS Vol. 1, is a compelling collection of 17 tracks from wide array of dance music’s best international artists including: Bassnectar, BT, Tritoanal, Richie Hawtin, Dub Fx, John Acquaviva, ill.gates, Matthew Dear, Machinedrum, and many more. This compilation of vastly contrasting artists help illustrate the larger message of the cause; we can all come together to do our part to fight a disease which is ravishing our globe. In August the world was enraptured by the quirky and wildly popular craze of the ALS Ice-bucket challenge, however just because it isn’t summer anymore and dumping a bucket of ice on your head in October doesn’t seem quite as appealing doesn’t mean we as a global community should just shrug off a very noble cause. You can grab Beat ALS Vol. 1 on the Gravitas Recordings Band Camp website (here) and 100% of the proceeds go to directly funding ALS research. Check out the full track list below as well as the bio on Jay Smith, the founder of Every90minutes. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to be a part of worthy cause and an important moment in electronic music.

Jay Smith, the Founder of music tech company Livid Instruments, started Every90Minutes after his own diagnosis with ALS earlier this year. The Foundation is dedicated to funding the most promising research and treatment for ALS as well as provides an inspirational beacon for others affected by this disease. Apart from the “Beat ALS” compilation, Every90Minutes is working on a number of multifaceted initiatives to raise both funds and awareness for ALS. Support of each project directly furthers research to end this debilitating and ultimately fatal disease. Learn more at Every90Minutes.org
