NEW REMIX FROM DANCEFLOOR LEGENDS KRAAK&SMAAK
New music for y'alll! ‘Stranger Danger’ is out now → https://youtu.be/n4LJ0ZL6-kE
A strange trip into the unknown featuring a rap from one of my favourite rappers Ahkatari from Detroit. The music is supposed to sound like a psychedelic cultural melting pot, a mish-mash of styles & cultures.
NEW VIDEO WITH THE NEW ALBUM!
For Jitwam, his career in music has always felt predestined. The first record he bought - a $2 blank white-label vinyl - turned out to be a Moodymann track, a discovery he made around the same time he found out his music would be featured on Moodymann’s DJ Kicks compilation. That, like countless other examples, reinforces a narrative Jitwam has been trying to espouse in his music: one of universality, of one consciousness to understand we’re one human race.
This ethos rings true in his work where he prioritises purpose over spectacle. After finding success through a handful of tracks as well two LPs, ‘ज़ितम सिहँ’ and ‘Honeycomb’, Jitwam has become a mainstay of the underground. Incorporating sounds from across the world, he marries incisive political commentary with deep introspection creating work that is, at once, wrenchingly intimate and sweetly playful. It’s on his latest record, ‘Third’, though, where his ideas are fully-formed, ready to take flight.
