Whodamanny’s second 12” on Periodica sub-label Biloba is ‘Miranda,’ and here, the West Hill producer and DJ explores equatorial grooves and evocative fantasies across four eclectic versions, with an influence of late 80s/early 90s Italo magic threading into the productions. In the Radio Version, sunset guitars weave through celebratory brass as voices sing lovelorn lyricisms over exotic dance beats, while in the Instrumental, more space is given for the rhythms to move the body, and for warming keys to color the joyous flow. Elswhere, the Midnite Mix sets dreamhouse pianos and heady vocal loops to serpentine bass and proto-progressive rhythms—the vibe minimal and mystical—and in the Dub version, tropical pads, and balearic guitars refract through webs of echo as aqueous synths swim towards the sun.
