Marking ten years of the Cosmic Stash box set, Jazz Dispensary compiles a focused selection of cuts from across the series into Cosmic Stash: HIGH Lights. Drawing on deep funk, soul-jazz and hazy grooves, the collection features key tracks from artists including Johnny Hammond, Patrice Rushen, David Axelrod, Gary Bartz, The Blackbyrds and more.

Originally spanning a wide-ranging box set, these selections distil the series’ appeal into a tight, DJ-friendly listen, balancing crate-dug obscurities with cult favourites. Edits and standout album cuts sit side by side, capturing the label’s blend of rare groove excavation and laid-back atmosphere.

Designed as an accessible entry point or a concise companion to the full series, Cosmic Stash: HIGH Lights brings together some of the imprint’s most recognisable moments in one place.
