A compilation of Koushik's three vinyl-only EPs, where his now trademark psychedelic hip hop beats are matched with his own easy, honest and plaintive, muffled singing voice.
Like laying out in the sun for too long or taking expired prescription painkillers, the music of Koushik will leave you feeling genially woozy, spacing out to questions you never took the time to consider: what are the reproductive qualities of jellyfish? Have I ever met anybody who traveled back through time from the future? How did we ever survive without cellphones?
'Be With' is a compilation of Koushik's three vinyl-only EPs, where his now trademark psychedelic hip hop beats are matched with his own easy, honest and plaintive, muffled singing voice.
Koushik's unique blend of psychedelia and hip hop has been called "something like The Byrds produced by DJ Premier". His haunting vocals float high above intricate beats, elevating the art form to new levels with samples from every imaginable source. Free jazz, psychedelic rock, bizarre 80's pop - you name it and undoubtedly it's crept its way from Koushik's crates to his sampler.
'Be With' is a wonderful collection of avant garde hip hop and taste of what's up!
