Every month, MAP (Music Alliance Pact) asks 36 music bloggers across the world to share a track from their home country that they think you should hear. Then the results are posted on those 36 blogs on the 15th of each month, downloadable in one file or playable one by one on each blog.

Violeta Castillo – La Batalla Del Movimiento

Khancoban – Until It Takes You Over

Sure there are big drums and meandering atmospherics that do tab out a few pages of Neon Bible, but Khancoban manage to verge on ‘epic’ without coming out too overtly pomp.

This track is also available for free download on Bandcamp.

And, as Travelers – both this song and their debut EP of the same name – demonstrates, Dora Alexander are ready to pick up that mantle. Here’s hoping they stick with it a little longer than the originators.
