Cosmic Compositions / HHV Vinyl, CD & Tape 4 Artikel

Proud to present to you Volume 1 in Cosmic Compositions' "Messenger Series" (a series of releases showcasing up and coming MC's from around the globe that are projecting a conscious message that radiates with Cosmic Compsitions). Volume 1 showcases the intellectual poetry of Danny Watts, a recording artist out of Houston, Texas & a member of the New Thought Movement. "These songs were made in a crucial moment in my life. I'm at a transition where I'm becoming more comfortable and accepting of the music I naturally make. These songs are mainly verses and compositions describing intricate details of my life and mind in a way that only I can describe them. Thank you to Addison and the whole Cosmic Compositions community for providing me the outlet to become One with myself. - Danny Watts, NWTHGHTMVMNT " The album includes 7 tracks produced by KVZE, Ohbliv, Tony Douglas, Noah B, PoptartPete & Jublet. In addition, the vinyl includes the exclusive bonus track "Hideaway" with production by Ghost McGrady.

Here's something very special for the heads, limited to 300 copies on black wax.In fall 2015, the Cosmic Compositions crew came up with a beautiful compilation showcasing a range of psychedelic, punk & surf rock from around the globe and we at HHV are very pleased to present this quality release on vinyl now. Artists included here are Jitwan, Pacific Yew, Ashes Holland, Anderson Mahalek, Salami Rose Joe Lewis, Christoph El Truento and many more.

We are very excited to present the new collabo release between Cosmic Compostions and HHV: Jitwam's selftitled album "ज़ितम सिहँ".Born in Assam, Gauhati, in Northeast India, but currently based in New York’s storied borough of Brooklyn, Jitwam spent his formative years in New Zealand and Australia, before living in monasteries in Thailand, orphanages in South Africa, and washed out apartments in London. Of everywhere and nowhere, his music draws influence from a litany of iconoclasts including, but not limited to RD Burman, Moondog, The Velvet Underground, Yayoi Kusama, Jay Electronica, Jay Dilla, Moodymann, Leon Thomas, Madlib and Asha Bhosle.Across “िज़तम िसहँ (selftitled)“, he utilizes knowledge acquired through years spent digging through dusty crates, and talents honed as a multi-instrumentalist, producer, and vocalist. A series of stumbling, jazz/soul-rooted beat sculptures, each buried beneath a haze of fuzzy psychedelia, broken microphone blues, and articulated through a freestyled process he describes as “first thought, best thought”, “िज़तम िसहँ (selftitled)“ solidifies Jitwam's spot as a major emerging talent.Recalling the fourth world dreamscapes explored by oddball songwriters like Connan Mockasin, Clarence Clarity, Jai Paul, Silicon, and Unknown Mortal Orchestra, it represents a time of transition and remembrance for Jitwam, while still fulfilling the core qualities he looks for in song. In his words, “Music is a refuge. A shelter from the storm. A place you can go to close your eyes.”Since he first shared his music with IZWID Records boss Kutmah at a Brainfeeder afterparty in London, Jitwam has released through Leaving Records, Cosmic Compositions, and The Jazz Diaries (the label he co-runs with Casey Van Reyk and Nigel Mphisa). He’s also written with Inkswel (BBE) and Paul White (R&S), featured on Moodymann’s K7! “DJ-Kicks” compilation and been championed by Gilles Peterson, Alexander Nut, Andrew Jervis (Bandcamp), and Funkineven. Mainly mixed and mastered by Matthewdavid at Stones Throw studios in Los Angeles, “िज़तम िसहँ (selftitled)“ will be available on vinyl and digital formats.

Limited edition of 300 hand-numbered copies of Parisian producer SNKA's "Carnaval" album.Over the years SNKA has developed a distinct sound unlike no other, manifested from his combination of stumbling percussion, jazzy loops, wonky chops combined with his excellent choice of samples all give life to his off beat compositions which project an undeniable rhythm & flow.
