Heart Beats 4 Haiti is a new EP by dEbruit created using samples of traditional Haitian music. All proceeds from the sale of the release – which is being made available immediately – go the UNICEF Haiti Earthquake Children’s Appeal.

After seeing the devastation and destruction caused by the recent earthquake in Haiti, dEbruit felt compelled to do something to help. The French producer composed and recorded the resulting Heart Beats 4 Haiti EP in the days immediately after the disaster struck. dEbruit combines his distinctive, angular, “bump-hop” style with traditional Haitian sounds such as Zook and Kompa on four tracks of blazing future-funk. Samples are woven around dEbruit’s juddering beats and scything synths, creating a cut-up, Cubist reframing of Haitian music.
