As a diehard Digable Planets fan, I was elated to see new output from a member of the disbanded trio. Each of the members explored a different sound post Digable Planets, and Doodlebug’s collaboration with live electroninc crew Lotus makes you wonder if this is what the triad would sound like if they were still together.

Poppies is flipped and chopped enough to make it unrecognizable while crafting a really cool reinterpretation of the track. Grab Sleeper which is described as containing “rich, ambient forward thinking productions” HERE

D’Flower – Egyptian Musk

The bluesy, D.Tropes produced Egyptian Musk appears to be the overall favorite on D’Flower’s DeFlower EP.
