Hear a Pair of Dreamy 'Betaloops' from Devonwho's Upcoming Project [Premiere]

A hypnotic double-sided single from the LA producer

On his upcoming sophomore project with Matthewdavid's Leaving Records, Devonwho will present a collection of thoughts, sketches and experiments from his machine(s) to yours. He calls themBetaloops, but they're really just marvelous morsels of broader, presumably more complicated concepts; experiments that may have gone a little too far out of pocket.

Today he premieres a pair of dreamy blips from the project with "far2" and "untitledscph5." Clocking in at around a minute-and-a-half (like most of the project,) the former has the mid-tempo knock of an electronic, late-era Dilla production, while the latter takes on a slick and seductive tone with a more staggered knock. Both wield a thick synth set, crisp drums with a kung-fu swing, capturing a full-float feel that outlasts their runtime.

Hear a preview of Devonwho's Betaloops tape below. Hit the link to pre-order your copy on cassette via Stones Throw ahead of its November 10th release.
