Obiymy (Legacy of War Mix)
Songwriters: Святослав Вакарчук, Euan Dickinson, Robert 3D Del Naja
Licenses: Battle Box
All profits go to the Legacy of War Foundation; an international charity providing support to civilians affected by conflict, founded by Giles Duley - a photographer, writer, campaigner and UN Global Advocate. Duley shot all photography for the digital and vinyl release, which was then designed by Robert Del Naja. Legacy of War Foundation will be partnering with UNITED24, a global fundraising platform, (launched by president Volodymyr Zelenskyy in May 2022) to help restore destroyed homes in Kyiv Oblast, under the Rebuild Ukraine program.
Released alongside the collaborative track is a video collage assembled by Unit 3 Films using footage captured by Giles and Slava during the war in Ukraine. In April we’ll see a vinyl release featuring a B-side (“Field Recordings / 2022”) in a gatefold sleeve press by Deepgrooves, the world’s most eco-friendly vinyl plant.

Speaking further about the collaboration Vakarchuk writes:
“It’s a great privilege for me to be a part of this project. I use every opportunity to raise funds for Ukrainians who are in need during these hard times and to spread the word about the terrible war to the people of the world.
Being a huge fan of Massive Attack I am extremely happy that Rob Del Naja and his team created this great version of Obiymy. Many versions and remixes had been made before but this one stands special for me.”
Del Naja writes:
“I first met Slava in Kyiv in 2018 when we played in Kyiv, and we re-established contact when the invasion began.
I returned to Ukraine with Giles Duley last year to see for myself the destruction inflicted on Kyiv and its suburbs during a year of Russian military aggression. The primary intention of this collaboration is to express an act of civil solidarity with the people of Ukraine and offer material aid to those most in need.”
Giles Duley writes:
“Over the past twelve months I’ve witnessed first-hand how Ukraine has stood up against the violent and wholly unjustified Russian invasion. From the frontlines in Donbas, to Kyiv or Lviv in the west; I’ve seen Ukraine stand united in the defence of their freedoms. At its heart Ukrainians know this is a war of cultural identity, an identity Putin wants to erase. So more than ever food, the arts, music take on a vital role of defiance. Which is why this track is so much more than raising desperately needed funds for the rebuilding of Ukraine - this track is about saying we stand in unity with a country fighting for freedoms that so many of us are lucky enough to take for granted."
