Intifada Records VOL III Unites Five Artists to Raise Gaza Relief Funds

VOL III from Intifada Records comes with a mandate that leaves nothing ambiguous. The label's Bandcamp page states "5 artists join forces against the ongoing genocide in Gaza" and "100% of profits go to Taawon," a humanitarian organisation active across Gaza, Jordan, and Lebanon. Released March 27, the compilation channels both its cassette and digital formats directly into relief work.

The five artists on the record are Jonathan Franco, Sleepdial, J.Mordechai, Imryll, and Datassette. Franco contributed "Residual Motion," Sleepdial brought "Oblivions," J.Mordechai added "Gravel Water," Imryll submitted "Dürer Rabbit," and Datassette closed out with "Bulbs." The five tracks navigate deep and experimental electronic territory, sitting within the minimal, ambient, and techno-adjacent space the label occupies.

The production credits match the seriousness of the political framing. Nik Kozub handled mastering; Abdulrahman Qatanani created the artwork; Omar Mobarek managed design. These are proper release-level commitments, not the production shortcuts that sometimes accompany hurriedly assembled benefit records.

VOL III is the third instalment in an ongoing series, and the progression matters. This isn't a label dipping into activism for the first time; the naming convention signals a sustained track record of aligning releases with direct humanitarian goals. The Bandcamp page situates the compilation within a two-plus-year timeline of global protest activity, framing the release as part of a continuing effort to act. The label's own words: "More than ever we must continue to act and speak out. Palestine is the Soul of Humanity. 100% of profits go to Taawon."

In a scene where many labels choose deliberate silence on political questions, Intifada Records has built the political statement into the label's core architecture. With VOL III, five artists contributed tracks knowing the purchase price would travel further than their Bandcamp dashboards; every download and every cassette sale funds Taawon's work across three territories. That's a concrete circuit from listener to aid worker, and it runs through some genuinely solid minimal-adjacent material.
