# Massive Attack #Occupy Radio **Massive Attack** never were your regular electronic pop act. Though they never seemed explicitely leftist, they pressed their point now and then -- for example in 2007, when they joined the Hoping Foundation in support of Palestinian children. Times are rough these days, the **#Occupy** movement is facing the international financial institutions, and Massive Attack decided to step in. In support of London's #Occupy movement, Massive Attack's **Robert Del Naja** aka **3D** [posted a message to their Facebook page][1]{: target="_blank"} earlier today, stating: "*We did some mixes in support of the **Occupy London** movement. We don't see it as left versus right or anarchy versus order. But people taking action and applying pressure on a problem that politicians are unable to fix as they are also the shareholders.*" Together with the announcement, Massive Attack released a new, 49 minute long mix. Titled 'Occupy Radio', Massive Attack are [curating a bunch of mixes on SoundCloud][2]{: target="_blank"}. Besides 3D's mix, former UNKLE and DFA Records member **Tim Goldsworthy**, **James Hillard** from **Horse Meat Disco** and **Binary Rhythm** also contributed to 'Occupy Radio' with dj mixes. 3D's mix includes an edit from **Buddy Miles**' 1971 anthem 'Place Over There', **Modeselektor** & **Thom Yorke**'s 'The White Flash', 'This is Radio **Clash**' and also original Massive Attack songs such as 'Angel', 'Teardrop', and 'Paradise Circus'. Opening track is the brilliant German schlager classic 'Molotow Cocktail Party' by **Vivi Bach** and **Dietmar Schönherr** -- quite a piece that is. Listen to all of the 'Occupy Radio' mixes below.
