CHVRCHES and Jack Garratt are among the artists releasing music as part of the Secret 7” 2016 series.

Taking place for the fifth year, the initiative aims to take seven tracks from seven acts, then press 100 copies of each onto seven inch vinyl.

Creatives from around the world are then invited to interpret the tracks in their own style for every edition. 700 sleeves are exhibited and then sold for £50 apiece to raise money for charity.

According to the organisers, the series has so far produced and sold 2,800 individually-crafted sleeves and raised over £130,000 for four charities.

This year the project will be collaborating with Amnesty International while it will be taking up residence at the Sonos Studios in Shoreditch. The space will play host to a series of sleeve making workshops through January and February with the first being led by DJ and painter Pete Fowler.
