Firmly established as the UK’s leading electronic music tastemaker, Annie Mac, has announced the release of a unique mix album, ‘Sunset Mix’, in aid of UK children’s charity, Kids Company. All profits from the compilation will go to Kids Company, and Annie has covered most of the project costs herself in order to bring the album to fruition.
Spanning over an hour, the ‘Sunset Mix’ is a warm, blissed-out affair featuring tracks from a wide range of talented electronic artists, including Julio Bashmore, KIndness feat. Robyn, Bobmo, Four Tet, Deadboy, Kolsch, and beyond. There are two exclusive tracks made especially for the ‘Sunset Mix’; the first comes from Canadian artist, Pomo, who recently collaborated with Kaytranada. The second is from new house producer, Apres.

ANNIE MAC SAID:
“Kids Company is an independently run charity that deals with all-round 360 degree care for underprivileged, neglected and displaced children. It’s a charity that is led by the child’s needs and having visited all the different centres in London it’s apparent that the children really flourish under their care. Kids Company do the job of a parent, be it help with homework, provide hot meals, help with hygiene, admin (social security, school admittance etc) but significantly they have a huge emphasis on therapy. These kids, have a huge range of problems, some are homeless, some are sexually abused, some don’t have shoes, some have parents who are not in a position to care for them, be it because of drug addiction, or poverty, all kids are treated indefinitely, with no limit on the length of time it takes to make them ready for the world. Kids can be part of Kids Company for their whole childhoods. The difference between a child before and after Kids Company is unparalleled. It’s the type of place where, after visiting it’s centres, it is terrifying to think of a world without it.”
Kids Company Founder and Chief executive Camila Batmanghelidjh says: “Traumatised children and young people find expression in music well before they're ready to speak about their pain. Some of them go on to develop their musical talents as careers. The support offered by Annie is a profound gift to children who often feel discarded. In taking their cause, she's giving them voice and dignity.”
Annie Mac's role as curator and selector is bigger than ever. AMP reached new heights this year with the hugely successful debut of her Lost & Found festival in Malta. In addition to presenting a new prime-time radio show on BBC Radio 1, Annie’s recent highlights include the latest installment of her Annie Mac Presents compilation concept, and the television series she executive-produced and presented for Channel 4 called ‘Superstar DJs: With Annie Mac’.
