On Friday March 11th, 2011, the east coast of Japan was hit by an earthquake that tipped the scale at around 9.0 on the Richter magnitude charts, then devastated by a massive tsunami and subsequent nuclear disaster.

Somewhere around 10,000 people have been killed, though no-one knows the true extent of fatalities even now. Thousands have lost loved ones and friends. Hundreds of thousands are destitute, lacking basic provisions, and braving zero-degree temperatures.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to all the people affected. The people of Japan need our help, and we hope that we can do our part through what we love most – the music – and we’ve decided to call this benefit compilation ‘Kibou’, the Japanese word for hope.

This is a combined project of many of the Elektrax Music artists and close friends of Elektrax, who have generously provided their tracks gratis, and it has been put together with the inspiring assistance of our label representative in Japan, Takashi Watanabe.

Japanese Artists:
Satoshi Fumi, DJ Wada, Polygon Prompt, Cut Bit Motorz, Orange Society, Jin Hiyama, Captain Funk, SERi, DJ Miku, M.Fukuda, Paranoia106 and Takashi Watanabe. (More Japanese artists TBA)
