devra: on the way ep
Francisco Espregueira
The Italian drummer and composer known as Devra returns with a quietly confident new chapter — his On The Way EP — on the London-based imprint Root Records. The six tracks on the record trace a subtle but deep path through jazz, neo-soul, hip-hop, and ambient textures. Devra (real name Fabio De Angelis) draws on his roots as a session drummer in Vicenza and a history of eclectic collaborations to craft music that flows effortlessly between introspective moods and soulful grooves.
In keeping with Root Records’ ethos, a label known for instrumental, genre-defying works and a sibling imprint of DeepMatter Records, On The Way EP feels like a meditation on movement and change. Devra’s layered percussion, warm chords and occasional neo-soul inflections invite listeners to drift along with him as he navigates musical transitions. It’s understated, soulful, and personal — a soundtrack for late-night reflection or gentle road trips, showing that less can sometimes speak louder. Available on Bandcamp.
