Torture the Artist celebrates its 5th anniversary with the release of ‘fivefourtwentytwentyone’, a compilation compiled and mixed by the webzine-founder himself, Holger Breuer, who gathered together 17 exclusive tracks from artists that either have a record or relationship with the online magazine. ‘fivefourtwentytwentyone’, a numerical and literal abreviation for ‘5 for TTA’, musically varies between Deep House and Disco, it makes an excursion to melodic and more techno-ish takes, it contains edits of current Indie/ Alternative but also Pop-artists and provides its audience with unreleased material from and of scene-heavyweights. The result is an eclectic mix that delivers several approaches to (electronic) music carefully and skillfully put together in a continuous mix that represents Torture the Artist’s philosophy, namely that of offering various (mainly melodical) styles of music to its listeners from renowned as well as talented and uprising artists.
‘fivefourtwentytwentyone’ is released in four parts containing four tracks while each track is available as a free download exclusively via Torture the Artist’ Soundcloud-channel. The download-link for the 17th and last track, is unlocked to those who solve a riddle as each of the previously released parts will provide you with a hint.
