This week MalLabel Music is sailing us through the culmination of creation itself as Brooklyn, New York's, Narkatta tears at the seams in the fabric of reality in this evolutionary exploration of the soul. The concept behind this EP is exploring the instinct that all living things use to survive, and the DNA sequence that makes us competitive for success in the natural world. Each track explores physical or mental wealth of all the creatures of the universe, including the living organisms that exist under the surface of Europa, one of Jupiter's moons.

Narkatta is a World Beat influenced Organic IDM slash Hip/Trip-Hop artist to put it as short as possible, but in reality these are just the most predominant elements in his journey through a whole world of possibilities and genres that have mostly taken a back seat to his creative process. These roads have brought him into a strong current alignment with Middle Eastern intonations along side his love for bass. This alignment shines through his music in that cultural obsession with the connection to the stars that we all share. His drive to connect humans with our ancestry in the cosmos brings light to the inspirational nature of the atmospheres in which his heavily complex compositions reside. 

His newest EP, Cosmic Currency is a shining example of how that light illuminates each of his pieces as an artistic expression of the divine. 'Divine DNA' opens the EP with a glitchy exploration within ourselves while 'Genoeconomics' explores a multi-faceted journey of Eastern tones. 'Decommodification of the Modified' guides us through various elements of consciousness and finally, 'Chrematophobia' closes the EP with an almost confusing amalgamation of textures over a subtle Eastern rhythm meant to reflect the idea that the existence of money in society only confuses our purpose. Close your eyes and listen within.

My track for Shipmates: A Ghost Ship Benefit Album, a benefit album to help the Ghost Ship fire tragedy victims in Oakland, California. 
Releases February 1st, order here: https://ghostshipbenefit.bandcamp.com/album/shipmates-a-ghost-ship-benefit-album
Produced by Narkatta
Vocals: Jaime R. Echavarría
Bassline, Mixdown and Mastering by Cosmal

The Ghost Ship fire was a tragedy beyond measure. The 36 people who died that night were our loved ones and family members, our friends and roommates, our colleagues and collaborators, our co-conspirators and partners in crime. The publicity surrounding the fire triggered raids and evictions in similar artist spaces in Oakland, the greater Bay Area and several other states across the country. The pain that this fire caused is deep, and it is ongoing. 

We present SHIPMATES, our small attempt to use art to help alleviate some of that pain. Twelve musicians from around the world contributed original works to this record. We crafted it with love, and we really hope you enjoy it. 

Every bit of profit from this album's sales is going straight to the fire relief fund established by the Gray Area Foundation For The Arts. They are providing ongoing support for family members, loved ones and others affected by the fire, and they could really use our help. 

Thank you so much for coming here and reading this, and please, spread the word about this if that's something you'd like to do. We hope you enjoy the music.

CMM003 now available via: Spotify: http://sptfy.com/Xhq | iTunes: https://goo.gl/NtexUT

In March of 2016 I traveled with friends on a spontaneous trip to Denver, CO to listen to Sri Swami Vishwananda, an enlightened spiritual master and founder of Bhakti Marga, the path of devotion.  We were invited the next day to an intimate invocation ritual to the Goddess Lakshmi, wife and shakti (energy) of Vishnu, a major god in Hinduism. I recorded some of the beautiful sounds and voices that traveled around the room, and used them in this track to convey the feelings I felt that day. Released on Conscious Minded Media. Enjoy! <3

Anandamide is a neurotransmitter produced in the brain that binds to the THC receptors. It's been called the “bliss molecule,” aptly named after ananda, the Sanskrit word for “joy, bliss, or happiness.” It is considered an endocannabinoid — a substance produced in the body that binds to cannabinoid receptors.

This EP was influenced by an underground clinic in Rosarito Mexico. 4 tracks chronicling a week in Mexico living with patients, filming a documentary, and dodging corrupt extorting Federales. If you or any loved ones are trapped by the cage of addiction, there’s a plant medicine that interrupts the addiction process in the brain. Ibogaine is scientifically proven to be better at preventing opiate relapse in therapy than the current offered Suboxone daily treatment. We need to get the Ibogaine plant medicine off the schedule I list so that insurance companies will cover it, so we can make a serious dent in the opiate epidemic and put these for-profit rehabilitation clinics out of business. We need help sharing this message, DM us for more info to help stop these preventable deaths.

Intent is the message behind this EP, we can be considered criminals in the US for offering a scientifically proven better treatment. We have to continue to fuck shit up, especially in the for-profit rehab + pharmaceutical industry.

Cop A Stack is a story about a doctor that gave into the temptation of money, offered by cartels that run the police force. That doctor was clouded by the human emotion of greed, and sold his soul by allowing his brothers and sisters to be extorted.

This house track took me out of depression last spring from losing a friend to an accidental Fentanyl overdose and seeing another friend spiral into a coma. This track represents the process of working through a depression by creating, so that we have something to show for it. We start to look forward to those lows in life because we realize the inspiration to create. Musically inspired by listening to 3 weeks str8 of Four Tet + Romare. Supported by Vinculum, Ross Mt Park, Sari Postol and more + 2 fresh remixes by Sappow and Josh Holiday.

Narkatta is a movement designed to help our scene flourish, promoted by an extraterrestrial DJing musician with a current home base in LA who's on a mission to spread the word about the ancient Ibogaine plant. Expect extended sets of sexy organic bass lines and instruments from far away lands mixed with positively nostalgic RnB + Hip Hop lyrics. [MalLabel, Good Looks Collective]
