Description
The Klipmode crew is Portland's current Next Big Thing, uniting the hip-hop and electro scenes with a four-way flow that twists samples into entirely new rhythms and manages to put a warm glow and some non-mechanized soul into their heavily teched-up beats. These are hipsters even Carrie and Fred wouldn't go after (although, ironically, a couple of their chillest tunes do kind of sound like the Portlandia theme). Klipmoder Devonwho's stuff is some of the most interesting—it gets glitchy and spaced-out, but never alien. When androids dream of electric sheep, this is what it sounds like. Devinwho performs at Treatment this week, along with the South Bay's own Demone. - Steve Palopoli sanjose.com
