NoDoz: KELPE

This week is all about NoDoz. First up is London beatsmith Kelpe. Kelpe, born Kel McKeown, makes instrumental hip-hop with an underwater theme that recalls the wistful melodies of Boards of Canada and the folktronic pastiche of Four Tet.



Kelpe's latest album, Ex-Aquarium, continues to explore the world of watery beats as he seamlessly blends moody synthesizers, haunting melodies, and crisp drum work. For a taste of Kelpe's aquatic goodness, check out "Yippee Space Ghost (Sidversion)" below.
