CAVIART – “The Garden” [EP]

November 30, 2015

Dannie Phantom and V-Shawn make up the Philly-bred DJ/production duo CAVIART, and today the artists bring us their debut project. After meeting in high school band and spending years of collaboration and college experience, Dannie & V-Shawn began to discover their own sound.

“The Garden” EP showcases new songs which are all produced, written and engineered in-house. Each song represents a year’s worth of loving and learning, experiencing and experimenting, and ultimately finding the music within themselves. Fans are in for a treat if they purchase on iTunes or stream on Apple Music, which gives them access to two bonus tracks.

Check out the iTunes release here.
