The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new track from Torn Relics. The London-based duo contributes “When The World Could Not Sleep”, a powerful, meditative piece which comes off the new v/a compilation from Loose Lips. The organization brings together a range of artists from across the world who they’ve connected with throughout the last 6 years of the LL journey.

The wide range of music chosen echoes LL’s passion for unique music from all horizons. From raucous sound system music of many forms through to pertinent poetry, crazy industrial experiments, chilling ambience and eccentric breakbeats. Given the compilations diversity, LL has separated the v/a into volumes, with Vol. 1 covering more dance floor friendly sounds and Vol. 2 being more experimental.

Further, proceeds from this release will aid be donated to the Ruff Sqwad Arts Foundation. Grime pioneers Rapid and Slix (Prince Owusu-Agyekum and Ebenezer Ayerh) started this foundation in 2017 in order to help create opportunities for young people who have incredible talent but who are from a less advantaged background, thus potentially not having the chances to develop their skills to the fullest.

Having been inspired by the sounds that spawned from Ruff Sqwad, other Grime originals, and so many other resulting waves of UK music, it was so energizing to find out more about this amazing work that has evolved from it. They approach education and collaboration in an incredibly genuine and musically apt way - creating a bridge between grassroots ethics and industry ambition.
