For decades now, the Red Hot Organization has been raising money for AIDS awareness by putting together finely curated compilations, and their next one could be amazing. The forthcoming double-CD comp Master Mix: Red Hot + Arthur Russell pays tribute to Russell, the pioneering New York musician who died of AIDS-related causes in 1992. Russell was someone who did amazing work across genres — leftfield disco, minimal singer-songwriter stuff, oblique country — and he’s the sort of musician who other musicians speak of in muted tones, even when much of the world has no idea who he is. The compilation’s tracklist is a testament to how important he was, as some very high-caliber artists all contribute. The comp features interpretations from Sufjan Stevens, Robyn, Hot Chip, Blood Orange, Jose Gonzalez, Phosphorescent, Devendra Banhart, Cults, and many, many others. Check out the tracklist below.
