XN : Cruel Mother (Translucent Green Vinyl)

All proceeds from the sales of this record will go to War Child

Acclaimed composers and producers Geoff Barrow and Ben Salisbury, known collectively as DROKK, make a long-awaited return with a striking remix of “Cruel Mother” by XNoriginally released on XN’s 2023 album CYRM. This marks DROKKs first release since their self-titled debut album in 2012.

The package is complemented by Ben Frosts haunting, elegiac rework.

Barrow and Salisbury, whose work as DROKK began in 2011, have since focused on a range of scoring projects across film and television. Now, they revisit their DROKK identity with a new purpose: using music to support War Child UK.

We love XNnot just their music, but who they are as people, and what they stand for politically, says Barrow. Weve been huge fans of “Cruel Mother” since its release, and I reached out to see if we could remix it in support of War Child, a brilliant charity Ive been in
