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 <strong>#Occupy</strong> movement is facing the international financial institutions, and Massive Attack decided to step in.</p><p>In support of London’s #Occupy movement, Massive Attack’s <strong>Robert Del Naja</strong> aka <strong>3D</strong> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/massiveattack/posts/321316044545705" target="_blank">posted a message to their Facebook page</a> earlier today, stating:</p><p>“<em>We did some mixes in support of the <strong>Occupy London</strong> 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.</em>”</p><p>Together with the announcement, Massive Attack released a new, 49 minute long mix. Titled ‘Occupy Radio’, Massive Attack are <a href="http://soundcloud.com/occupy-radio-1" target="_blank">curating a bunch of mixes on SoundCloud</a>. Besides 3D’s mix, former UNKLE and DFA Records member <strong>Tim Goldsworthy</strong>, <strong>James Hillard</strong> from <strong>Horse Meat Disco</strong> and <strong>Binary Rhythm</strong> also contributed to ‘Occupy Radio’ with dj mixes.</p><p>3D’s mix includes an edit from <strong>Buddy Miles</strong>‘ 1971 anthem ‘Place Over There’, <strong>Modeselektor</strong> & <strong>Thom Yorke</strong>‘s ‘The White Flash’, ‘This is Radio <strong>Clash</strong>‘ 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 <strong>Vivi Bach</strong> and <strong>Dietmar Schönherr</strong> – quite a piece that is.
