DRØXN

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 ØXN— originally released on ØXN's 2023 album CYRM.

This marks DROKK’s first release since their self-titled debut album in 2012. 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 ØXN—not just their music, but who they are as people, and what they stand for politically,” says Barrow. “We’ve 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 I’ve been involved with for many years.”

The package is complemented by Ben Frost’s haunting, elegiac rework.

Both remixes are available now alongside the original on limited edition vinyl, with 100% of profits donated directly to War Child, which supports children affected by conflict around the globe. All purchases are much appreciated and will make a difference, but there is also the option to donate more to War Child if you so wish.
