Music teacher launches new record label to help in the fight against cancer

Matthew Toole who lives in Market Bosworth was diagnosed with a brain tumour in May 2019.

After overcoming a battle in critical care he reached out to friends in the Bass Music world to help raise awareness.

The 38 year old's label, fight or flight recordings is releasing its first charity album - survival is instinct today (31st July) with money raised going to the brain tumour charity.

The album covers a broad range of Bass Music styles, from Jungle to Jump Up; Deep Dubstep to minimal and halftime Drum & Bass. Each track has been donated by its producer, who all know Matt Toole through his years working in music.

Matt said; “I am delighted by the support of all the friends I have made in the music industry over the years, in what has been a difficult time. I really hope this project will help others, who are going through similar issues, or who may in the future. I feel the music we are releasing is of a fantastic quality. I am really excited about the first release and the projects we have forthcoming. I hope we can raise lots of money for the battle against cancer.”

The Brain Tumour Charity funds pioneering research to increase survival and improve treatment options as well as raising awareness of the symptoms and effects of brain tumours to bring about earlier diagnosis.

Geraldine Pipping, The Charity’s Head of Fundraising, said: “We are grateful for all the efforts made by our incredible fundraisers and thank them for producing the new album and look forward to hearing the finished record. “Brain tumours are the biggest cancer killer of the under 40s and survival rates have not improved significantly over the last 40 years. We are leading the way in changing this by fighting brain tumours on all fronts."
