description: Random Records is a non-profit label created exclusively to help projects supporting indigenous communities around the world. There are, today, over 300 million people, including at least 5000 distinct indigenous tribes in 72 countries that live under conditions of oppression and forced cultural assimilation.

Refugees in their own country, they struggle to preserve their harmony with Mother Nature, practicing natural medicine and the criminalised Ayahuasca rituals. But they have no land to live in peace. The profits of this CD will go towards the securing of a safe land for the Cofanes in order to partially mitigate the previous injustice.

In this effort we were happy to be supported by some of the world’s top Downtempo, Suomisaundi (freeform trance) and psychedelic trance projects, including the Suns of Arqa, Kukan Dub Lagan, The Orb, Antonio Testa, E-mantra, Goatika Creative Lab, Secret Vibes, Sattel Battle, Crazy Ducks, Freeform Human, Texas Faggott, Club Kooma, Tsabeat, Ocel…
