Atlanta-based producer Time Wharp recently dropped a brief beat tape/EP, called GRN (artwork above), which consists of four tracks that collectively clock in at just above five minutes. Here, we have the effort’s opening (and longest) cut, a swirling mix of buzzed-out synths, gliding melodies, and looping jazz guitar samples entitled “ja$$2.” It’s the kind of tune that delivers a rewarding off-kilter beat to nod along to, coupled with just the right touch of pleasant reminiscence shining through its warm chords. The whole GRN EP is available to stream/download (for the nominal price of $4) over at Time Wharp’s Bandcamp, or you can grab it for free via Fresh Selects.
