This wonderfully bright morning we are thrilled to welcome Brooklyn-based beatsmith, jitwam., to MailTape. His languid and soulful selections slowly evaporate the dew and drag the melodies out into the light.

On his full-length debut, [ज़ितम सिहँ](https://cosmic-compositions.bandcamp.com/album/--2), Jitwam. deconstructs samples of folk and jazz guitar as they buzz and hiss alongside the warm reverie of vinyl drum samples.

Jitwam.’s selection

Cara Tivey Trio – Contemplation

Jitwam: ” Wake up slow…let the world come to you. Cara Tivey on keysss and blissful harmonies. “

Jay Electronica – Dear Moleskine

Jitwam: ” Jay Electronica is light. No matter how fast he raps, his words enter my consciousness so slowwww. An inspiration for the inspired. “

Sam Reed – Love Ain’t Free

Jitwam: ” If you wants to feels good you got to listen to music that makes you feel good. This tune always puts a spring in my step and some melancholy in my whistle. “

MailTape’s selection

jitwam. – alone

Sanjay: ” There’s a simmering storm beneath the acoustic strums of this track, coerced by generous helpings of reverb and musings on isolation. “

Henry Wu – Shahada

Sanjay: ” Henry Wu and Kieron Ifill combine to provide a two-step bedrock for delicate strings to glide over, sitting alongside an infectious and restless b-line with just enough groove for a Sunday morning. “

Nabihah Iqbal – Eden Piece

Sanjay: ” Lull yourself into a hazy dream this morning with Nabihah Iqbal’s pared-back track, Eden Piece. All wandering and lilting piano lines, booming kicks and breathy vocals. “

Yves Tumor – The Feeling When You Walk Away

Sanjay: ” From a cavernous looping riff reveals Yves Tumor’s voice, an anguished falsetto steeped in phantasmal echoes that sounds as if it’s simultaneously vanishing just as it’s appearing. “

That’s all for this morning. Thanks for listening and much love and gratitude to Jitwam. for being our guest today, and to Camille Célestin for this episode’s cool illustration!
