Beats Happening: Listen to (and download) the 36-track Together 2014 compilation

Boston’s annual Together festival is right around the corner, and this year’s effort features nearly 100 events across the city at dozens of venues, in addition to workshops, discussions, and panels. It’s a nice marriage of electronic music and evolving technology, and that union is displayed on the newly-minted 2014 Together Compilation, a 36-track monster that boasts homegrown favories like John Barera, Dark & Stormy, Coralcola, BRRIO, Dr. Jeep, Tone-Ra and others.

Nick Minieri of Zakim Records, who helped curate the comp with Together, announced the comp today via social media.

“We assembled 36 original and exclusive tracks that represent a good balance of veterans and new blood from the local electronic scene,” he wrote. “Over 3 hours of tunes across many different styles. Big shout-out to all the producers involved in the project this year, as well as the Together crew for getting me involved with the project this year. Everything’s a free download (as 320 MP3’s) on the Soundcloud link below, enjoy!”

As a bonus, there’s also a limited-edition Together vinyl featuring six hand-selected tracks from the compilation, and that’s available now on the Zakim Bandcamp page. Those who purchase the vinyl will get the Together compilation in downloadable .wav files (as opposed to the mp3’s offered via the Soundcloud below).

Together runs from May 11 to 18. It’s an extensive lineup of action, so check out the Together page for the full, customizable schedule. For full week passes, click here.

About the compilation:

In typical Together fashion, we have released a collection of original, exclusive tracks produced by artists from Boston and greater New England scene. A vast array of styles are represented in what is our most ambitious compilation yet. 6 of these tracks have been pressed to a strictly-limited 12″ vinyl single with full color label art. In addition, this release balances a number of newcomers with favorites who have appeared on previous Together comps (including Cirrus, Dr. Jeep, Coralcola, and Chadley). We hope you enjoy!
