Hi ,

Summer is still in full swing: As part of our Summer Of Jazz, we’re putting the spotlight on International Anthem with a special summer selection, bringing together releases from the Chicago-based label that has become synonymous with a young, open-minded and genre-crossing approach to contemporary jazz.

We also have two new HHV Exclusives for you: The Avalanches – No Bad Memories arrives as our GSA Exclusive on Blue Vinyl, while Lute – Hard To Reach gets an HHV Exclusive edition on Neon Green Vinyl. Over on our own label, Dirty Art Club – Vermilion is back with a fresh repress, making the sought-after release available on vinyl once again.

There’s plenty to discover beyond the turntable, too: We’re giving away two tickets plus an overnight stay for Apparat’s concert at the NJOY Jazz Festival. And over at HHV Mag, we sit down with Nia Archives to talk about jungle, emotions and bringing a female perspective to a scene whose sound and history she continues to push forward in her own way.

More news and recommendations can be found below in this newsletter and on our website.

Have fun diggin’!
