Release Text
Liam de Bruin's slinky late night synth groover 'Lavender' has been championed by Osunlade, Jimpster, Mousse T, The Reflex, Delfonic and KCRW, and is continuing to build in the deep house underground. This remix from Zeitgeist Freedom Energy Exchange ups the tempo, toughens the beats and adds touches of acid and percussion, sitting nicely alongside ZFEX's other recent collaborations with Wayne Snow, Ge-Ology, Àbáse and Jitwam's Jazz Diaries label. Now relocated to Berlin, 30/70 offshoot ZFEX were one of Liam's inspirations in the buzzing Melbourne live jazz/house scene alongside Close Counters, Harvey Sutherland, Horatio Luna and Teymori. The ZFEX remix is taken from Liam's six-track 'Thinking About Dancing' EP on Heard and Felt, including a limited die-cut felt cover vinyl edition.

At Cosmic Compositions, we’ve long felt there was a similarity between the avant-garde/free jazz scene of the 50s/60s and the modern beat generation. Both movements aimed to deconstruct, expand and rewire the conventions of their genres of origin, and were never afraid to experiment or work outside the commercial framework of the time. With our Avant Garde Series, we connected the dots between the two, paying homage to Empire State Musicians like Pharoah Sanders, Alice Coltrane, and Sun-Ra along the way. 

In more recent years, we’ve sensed kindred spirit between jazz-infected beat music, and the new generation of lo-fi funk, psychedelia, noise, and folk musicians operating around the globe. While we’ve been feeling our way towards this liminal zone with projects from the likes of Mr. Armish, Affsid Kidjhagiffy, Aporia, and our Way Out compilation, jitwam’s new album ज़ितम सिहँ might be the most beautiful expression of it we’ve released yet. 

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 the album he utilises 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”, ज़ितम सिहँ 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. Mixed and mastered by Matthew David at Stones Throw studios in Los Angeles, ज़ितम सिहँ will be available on vinyl and digital formats through Cosmic Compositions / hhv.de.

Melbourne's  Wu  Kush  drops  afro/broken/Detroit  techno  EPinc.  remix  from  London's  Modified  ManSince  swapping  his  guitar  for  a  growing  collection  of  synths  and  drum  machines,  Melbourne  producer  Wu  Kushhas  been  steadily  building  his  reputation  and  repertoire  in  all  realms  of  techno  and  electronic  music.  Under  hisaliases  and  collaborative  projectsJXTPS,Juxtpose,Sjazd  andJDJX  he  has  had  releases  onSuara,  PlanetRhythm,  Momentary  and  more,  joining  alumni  such  asPrins  Thomas,  James  Welsh,  Harvey  Sutherland,  KirkDegiorgio,  Matrixxman,  Booka  Shade,  Vince  Watson,  DJ  Hell  and  Catz  n  Dogz.

He  saves  his  funkiest  grooves  for  Heard  and  Felt,  now  using  the  Wu  Kush  moniker  for  this  side  of  his  sound  wherehe  leans  towards  house,  Detroit  techno,  electro  funk  and  broken  rhythms.  Title  track  'Xenomorph'  drops  bigtechno  chords  over  layers  of  afro  percussion  and  chants.  'Rolling  Devastation'  funks  the  bass  synth  and  beats  forfour  minutes,  with  echoes  of  a  house  legend  coming  along  to  jack  to  the  groove.  The  fourth  track  is  'Third'  whichcould  be  what  a  Martyn  remix  of  Kraftwerk  might  sound  like.

An  extra  special  treat  comes  in  the  form  of  a  killer  remix  from  London  duoModified  Man  (AKAScrimshire  andDeoke),  following  previous  remixes  of  Wu  Kush  and  Juxtpose  fromOpolopo,Christian  Vance  and  Heard  andFelt  label  bossEnnio  Styles.  The  Modified  Man  remix  keeps  the  essential  percussion  and  chords  from'Xenomorph'  yet  totally  reshapes  the  groove  with  a  mellow  broken  beat  and  warm  synths,  then  adding  a  surprisehouse  twist  late  in  the  piece.  This  rework  adds  nicely  to  Modified  Man's  remixography  which  includes  versions  ofAmp  Fiddler,  Dele  Sosimi,  Hector  Plimmer,  Ola  Szmidt  and Makadem  &  Behr.

Jonny Faith - Fana (feat. Mohamed Camara) 
[Heard and Felt HF017]

1. Fana (feat. Mohamed Camara)
2. Fana (Instrumental)

Jonny Faith's journey in music has taken him from Edinburgh, through London and Sydney, to his adopted hometown of Melbourne. Along the way he has toured Japan with Bonobo, been remixed by Clap! Clap!, performed alongside Flying Lotus and Dam-Funk and dropped LPs on labels shared by Quantic and Debruit (Kokoko).

Jonny's particular knack for sneaking cosmic melodies into cutting edge beats drawing on hip hop, jungle, footwork and dub has won him support from Clash, Gilles Peterson, Radio Nova, KCRW, DJ Mag, Triple J, Don Letts, Lauren Laverne and even Martin Garrix.

While he is mostly known for instrumental music, Jonny's sound is actually perfectly suited to vocal collaborations, as those familiar with his production for Harleighblu and remixes for The Bamboos and Hot 8 Brass Band are well aware. 

The first single from his forthcoming 'Night Lights' EP, 'Fana' stands on its own in instrumental form, with chiming melodics and arpeggiated synths building over crisp uptempo drums and deep bass tones. But it is with the vocals of Melbourne-based Guinean artist Mohamed Camara that the track really takes off.
