Hi , From album announcements and exclusive vinyl editions to jazz legends, Beatles classics and a special ticket giveaway – here are our latest highlights from the HHV universe. Fontaines D.C. have announced their new album Dopamine Chamber. The Dublin band continue to develop their unmistakable sound, opening the next chapter after Romance with a mix of post-punk roots, big melodies and the constant evolution that has made Fontaines D.C. one of the defining guitar bands of their generation. Two HHV Exclusives bring special editions to the shop. Alfa Mist presents Live at Real World Studios, capturing his atmospheric blend of jazz, hip-hop and soul in a live setting – available from us as an HHV EU Exclusive. Troye Sivan also gets an exclusive vinyl edition: She’s the Best arrives at HHV as a GSA Exclusive on Pink Vinyl, combining Sivan’s pop sensibility with a special edition available in this form only through selected retailers. On the HHV label, Pudgee Tha Phat Bastard and Parental (de Kalhex) bring together two generations and perspectives of hip-hop. Leading The Blind pairs Pudgee’s distinctive New York rap DNA with Parental’s detailed, jazz-infused production, bridging classic boom bap and contemporary underground sounds. Apparat is playing live at Enjoy Jazz Festival – and you could be there. We’re giving away tickets for the concert, with the winners and their plus-ones getting the chance to see one of Germany’s most distinctive electronic live acts on stage. Enter the giveaway. Over at HHV Mag, we speak with jazz legend Kahil El’Zabar about music, spirituality, social change and the question of where humanity is heading. It’s a conversation with an artist who has been connecting tradition and the avant-garde for decades. Read the interview with Kahil El’Zabar. For Records Revisited, we also travel back to 1966: with Revolver, The Beatles increasingly moved beyond the limitations of a traditional beat band and turned the studio itself into an instrument. We revisit an album whose ideas had a lasting impact on the course of popular music. For HHV Wax Wonders, Chloé digs through the crates and takes us through her personal selection – from discoveries and favorites to the stories behind the music. More news and recommendations can be found below in this newsletter and on our website. Have fun diggin’!
