The Storms We Became is the fifth act of rebellion, featuring original works of 10 artists, both familiar and new to the label. With a red thread of distorted and broken percussions and vocals, the compilation showcases a wide range of styles met in the same intention: crossing the border of normative compliance. What is dance music and counter culture anyway, if we don’t take ourselves the time to question and break the new cages we have built for ourselves?

Acts of Rebellion releases emotively intense techno sounds and alternative dance music, questioning the border of genre conventions and traditional functionality. By fiercely representing diverse and transgressive expressions, the label aims to dissolve the mirages of destructive policies that hold underground dance back from its original cause.

Complemented with its non-musical augmented reality storytelling, Acts of Rebellion can be considered a series of postal cards, demonstrating the challenges we all go through: on a macro-level as a society, and on a micro-level as individuals. Stories of unconditional self-respect and overcoming normative conditioning. Stories of reclaiming one’s history and name, of shaping one’s own reality. Stories of remembering love, and of Challenge bowing for its queen: fierce minds and hearts which are ready for anything.

A donation has been made for the use of the ‘Amen break’. Listeners are applauded to do the same, as the famous sample has shaped electronic music as we know it today.

Part of the profits of this release is donated to IGLYO, to contribute to a brighter future for queer kids around the world.
