Brandon Avery Perlman (born 1989/1990), known professionally as Delroy Edwards, is an American electronic musician, record producer and DJ based in Los Angeles.
[3] Edwards also stated that he frequented noise concerts and listened to KROQ-FM artists and acts such as New Order, Joy Division and Depeche Mode throughout this time.
[9] In 2016, Edwards released the 30-track full-length Hangin' at the Beach on L.A. Club Resource; Resident Advisor's Matt McDermott described it as his "most realized album to date.
[17] While Edwards is known to employ different genres for his different releases, including house, techno, chopped and screwed, Memphis rap, noise, hardcore and obscure American garage rock, his music is generally characterized by lo-fi production and tape hiss.
[13][17][18] Pitchfork critic Marc Masters thought that Edwards combines "the faded ‘80s vibe of Ariel Pink and John Maus with a sharp eye toward what moves bodies on dance floors today,"[19] while Kevin Ritchie of Now regarded his work as "avowedly anti-pop, anti-digital and anti-glam in its minimalism.
[18][22] His Slowed Down Funk mixtape series were heavily influenced by DJ Screw and featured "edits of laid-back Southern rap and '80s R&B grooves filtered through his hazy, lo-fi sensibilities,"[3] while Hangin' at the Beach was characterized by "racing new wave-inspired electronic drums and occasional post-punk basslines" that permeated through the record.
