Биография

Known for their idiosyncratic and organic sample-driven approach to dance music, Keys N Krates continues to evolve effortlessly with electronic music's swift pace. The Toronto-based trio, made up of Adam Tune, David Matisse, and Greg Dawson, signed to Dim Mak Records in 2013, where they would release multiple successful EPs with the label including Treat Me Right EP and SOLOW in 2013 as well as their Every Night EP in 2014. The group's unique makeup of a DJ, a keyboardist, and a drummer set them apart in the scene. In 2018, the group began to pivot towards working with more collaborators and exploring a myriad of sounds — ranging from pop to boom bap and disco to house music — injecting R&B into their style with their debut album, Cura, which featured the likes of 070 Shake, Ambré Perkins, and Tory Lanez. The change was a wild success, with the record amassing over 52 million streams. The project would go on to expand their roster of diverse collaborators and set the group's precedence of working with unlikely characters. They released their 2021 pop-leaning second studio album, Original Classic, which would solidify the band as a boundary-breaking crossover electronic act. The album features guest appearances from Juicy J, Chip, and Bibi Bourelly, blending their 808s and sample-chopping sensibilities with Afro rhythms and house influenced grooves, all while continuing to collaborate with vocalists to make left-of-centre, hybrid dance/pop records.
