Sounds Like:Compiled by the HVW8 Art Installation crew, "Music Is My Art" is an album of next level electronic, soul, and hip-hop acts from around the world, and includes many exclusive, unreleased and hard to find tracks. Expect full spectrum sonics from established faves like Plantlife, Seiji, and Osunlade to up n'comers like John Arnold, DJ Language, Rich Medina, and new head-turning tracks from the likes of Black Spade, Radio City and Owusu and Hannibal. It's raw hip-hop, rough broken beat, left field soul, future funk, and house that works together and typifies the kinds of sounds you'd hear at a HVW8 curated event. Both the CD and LP will feature cover art and bonus artwork from the HVW8 crew. Executive Produced by Tyler Gibney.
