Saafron is an alias of <a href="spotify:artist:7FTxR2nUnhPb1yOWXR9sk7">Dakim Saadiq</a>, a Detroit-via-Los Angeles experimental beatmaker. He was one of the first signings to <a href="spotify:artist:4KKx8fVJ0y7EcpmYZ42jPc">Matthewdavid</a>'s <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Leaving+Records%22">Leaving Records</a>, and his fractured, abstract sample constructions have earned praise from L.A. beat scene regulars such as <a href="spotify:artist:29XOeO6KIWxGthejQqn793">Flying Lotus</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:3PU8Ju4WBYNY5xvJE3DMfV">Ras G</a>. He had released numerous tapes, 7" EPs, and CD-Rs as <a href="spotify:artist:7FTxR2nUnhPb1yOWXR9sk7">Dakim</a> or <a href="spotify:artist:3In2BOfcdF10w1epRfkudd">Dak</a> since the late 2000s, but his 2016 album Reishi (produced under the Saafron moniker) was his first vinyl full-length. The album sounded a bit clearer than his lo-fi beat tapes, with heavier bass and a wider sonic range. ~ Paul Simpson, Rovi
