Betaplayer
Austin’s Betaplayer vacillates between a slightly funky take on trip-hop and full-blown hip-hop, depending on whether smoky singer Yadira Brown is center stage, or merely providing the soulful counterpoint to socially conscious MCs Ibrahim and Pax. Confounding things further, the aggressive live drums, guitar licks, and smooth keyboard tones create a classic-rock vibe that suggests it doesn’t take many leaps to get from The Doors to De La Soul.
