Sales Information:

Techno and hiphop fused into one by NYC producer Thavius Beck. The tracks vary in style a lot, but what they have in common is that they either are moody - in U-TRAX lingo: deep - or they are drum heavy. The common denominator would probably be 'experimental/instrumental hip-hop', reminiscent of producers like Flying Lotus. Despite the fact that some tracks on Cosmic Noise are 20 years old and have been made with widely different gear (one track was even made on a PlayStation 1), this selection sounds remarkably balanced, yet diverse. Elite sampling and beatcreator skillz are on full display across 15 tracks, showcasing why Thavius is a certified Ableton and Bitwig instructor and a teacher at Berklee College of Music. This 180 grams double colored vinyl release comes in a full-color gatefold sleeve with a stunning painting from NYC artist Sfera Louis on the cover.[info sheet from distr.]
