Hatti Vatti - Espaces

limited edition 180g black vinyl - numbered 200 copies with insert.

Following a series of critically acclaimed albums, most notably „Zeit”, released in 2024 on the legendary R&S Records (early home of Aphex Twin, James Blake and Synkro), Hatti Vatti returns with another outstanding release on U Jazz Me.

On „Espaces”, Piotr Kaliński continues to develop his distinctive artistic vision alongside some of the leading figures of the Polish jazz scene: Piotr Chęcki, Paweł “Wuja HZG” Stachowiak and Rafał Dutkiewicz.

This time, alongside energetic, richly textured compositions built around electronics, saxophone, bass guitar and drums, the album also embraces moments of calm and musical minimalism. Espaces is an album defined by space — as its title suggests — unexpected sonic combinations, and references to the psychedelic atmosphere of the film Picnic at Hanging Rock, the work of the Polish band Laboratorium, and the dub sounds emerging from the legendary Jamaican studio of King Tubby.

Above all, however, Hatti Vatti remains true to its own unmistakable sonic identity — one that has earned recognition far beyond Poland’s borders — and to the unique meeting of distinct musical personalities that lies at the heart of the project.
