The inaugural releases focus on electronic music from Georgia and Colombia.

Air Texture and Kompakt are teaming up to present place, a country-specific charity compilation series. All proceeds from the releases will go towards local groups working in human rights issues.

First up are place : georgia and place : colombia, which highlight local producers Georgia and Colombia respectively.

place: georgia was made in collaboration with Tbilisi producers Giorgi Iakobidze and Sandro Mezurnishvili. All proceeds from the project will go to Human Rights Education and Monitoring Center (EMC), an organisation based in Tbilisi “working on human rights aiming to support creation of free, equal society based on solidarity.”

place : colombia was made in collaboration with  Juliana Cuervo, a Medellín based DJ resident at the city’s Mansion Club and the founder of DOCE record shop. All proceeds from this project will go towards Mutante, a non-profit organisation that provides a platform for conversations about social issues.

According to place, the project’s goal is to “to raise awareness of local artistic and political action”, by promoting electronic music as “an egalitarian, classless, and empowering art form.”
