Beat:Cancer started life in 2012 as the founder Mark Haigh's reaction to the loss of a friend and colleague to lymphoma. Initially envisioned as a 7 track digital EP, word quickly spread with artists and labels from across the electronic music spectrum pledging their support. Beat:Cancer has since released two successful fundraising CDs, hosted four fundraising concerts and a number of clubbing events around the UK, raising around 6000 in 3 years to help Cancer Research UK fund research into screening, treatment and cures for cancer. In 2016, with the support of label partners AnalogueTrash, they will not only return to their live endeavours but will be releasing the highly anticipated third volume of their critically acclaimed compilations. The compilation is officially released on Friday 25th of March at the prestigious Resistanz Festival in Sheffield. Beat:Cancer v3 features 3 discs worth of exclusive and unreleased tracks from new and emerging artists and established favourites of the alternative and electronic music scene: 45 of them in total! The CD edition is packaged in a deluxe 8 panel digipak and with artwork from renowned designer Vlad McNeally.
