LOOPS + DOTS is a brand new leftfield beats, electronic soul, and experimental sounds show broadcast on the first Tuesday of the month at 10am PT.

The second installment of Loops + Dots aired brand new musical magnificence from Solange ft Sampha, Helado Negro, Natural Yogurt Band, Audego, and Jordan Rakei, in addition to conversation and music selections from my favorite LA dream-pop-R&B-indie-soul duo In Velvet live in studio.

Izzy and Dmitri from In Velvet talked about the importance of Dilla drums, the experimentalism of Kool and the Gang, the genius of Bibio, and the timelessness of the Everly Brothers, all before playing their favorite In Velvet song (and number 95 in my Top 100 Tracks of 2018 list), “Poise.”
