As well as raising money for charity, Pollination’s goal is also to raise awareness and resistance of the Anti-Refugee Bill, a bill will that allow the UK to reject an estimated 9,000 asylum seekers who are currently eligible to claim settlement every year.

Talking about both message and release, they say “Electronic dance music culture is rich because of the people who make it up. Diversity is built into the UK’s roots: it is what enables our music to thrive. Join us in celebrating the blend of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives that form the fabric of our scene. As members of the UK’s creative community, we come together to stand against this cruel and inhumane Bill. We believe that the UK, our home, is a place that welcomes all people”
