“Lazy Afternoon hits the spot”
STEVE MILLER (AFTERLIFE / THE NORMALITES / CAFE DEL MAR)

“DOPE JOINTS!!”

Cosmic Elements is proud to welcome the first release from Thylacinus alongside the brilliant Da Funksta, with two tracks of old school (mostly) instrumental west coast hip hop coming together to form ‘Lazy Sunset’.

Opening track ‘Lazy Afternoon’ is a sun soaked laidback beauty, with hypnotic harmonies, soothing vocals and solid beats perfect for any occasion. On the flip so to speak is ‘Sunset Boulevard’ which is a more funk laden affair which does exactly what it says on the tin – imagine being sat in a Cadillac convertible cruising down Sunset Boulevard in LA, sun beating down and there you have it. The most important question is of course, what colour is your Cadillac?

Look out for more singles and an album from Thylacinus over the next few months. Alongside Thylacinus on this release is top European hip hop artist Da Funksta, whose label ‘The Old Skool The New Class’ (or ‘TOSNC’ for short) is phenomenal, so check it out!

VINYL RELEASE – Thylacinus & Da Funksta ‘A New Beginning’ [Cosmic Elements]

For fans of old school, LoFi and mainly instrumental hip hop and funky downtempo beats in the style of Pete Rock, MF Doom’s Special Herbs series, Mushroom Jazz and LTJ Bukem’s Cookin Records imprint, here is my first ever vinyl release which is under my ‘Thylacinus’ (pronounced ‘thigh-lah-sinus’) alias alongside the brilliant Da Funksta , comprising 10 tracks and entitled ‘A New Beginning’ 🙂

It’s a limited edition run of just 250 copies worldwide, with the artwork image from none other than the Mushroom Jazz legend himself Mark Farina. It’s exclusively available on Bandcamp or you can buy direct from me (which would be cheaper, as no fees from third parties – send me a direct message) and I’ll ship to anywhere in the world. I would really appreciate your support on this project which took a very long time and lots of effort to put together, so we’re hopeful this will certainly not disappoint!

The 19th release on Cosmic Elements is a Thylacinus rework of Tom Conrad & Mr V’s ‘Sign Of The Times’, which was originally released on Adaptation Music.

Thylacinus pulls out all the stops to rework ‘Sign Of The Times’ into a summery Cafe Del Mar track, with a fusion of jazz, old school hip hop, a dub reggae style bass line and dreamy, atmospheric keys and pads. Originally released as a house track almost a decade ago with several versions, ‘Sign Of The Times’ contains a message that is still as relevant today as it was then.

A very familiar name on the scene, Mr V started out with Masters At Work and has gone on to become a household name as a hip house vocalist, producer and DJ, gracing the likes of Defected, Strictly Rhythm, Vega Records, Dessous and numerous others.

Thylacinus has released several EPs on Cosmic Elements already and has singles alongside Da Funksta on the TOSNC label, with a vinyl album release due in August, also alongside Da Funksta.
