KRNE

Keys N Krates & KRANE’s ‘Right Here’ was a beautifully upbeat smash. Thanks to QUIX it’s not beautiful anymore. The beast of a producer just dragged it into the dungeons, dismembered it and buried it behind the castle. The catchy vocals serve as glimmer of hope while QUIX crafts a soundscape with the sole desire to slaughter speakers. The addition…

KRANE is back with another letter in his name (note the a) and a collab with Ekali. The highly anticipated ‘Akira’ is everything you’d hope for from two of the most talented rising producers out. Cold keys and breathy soundscapes are interwoven with snapping snares for an auditory experience that feels like trekking across frozen tundra. Don’t let the desolate build fool…

KRNE has been killing 2016 and today he returns to keep the momentum going. Connecting with SAINTS, ‘Numb’ is a stirring and infectious work. Lead by the powerful vocals, it packs an upbeat future feel. Sun-filled synth plucks and high pitched vocal bends embody the feeling of warm coast lines while the lyrics signal waves crashing about. It’s a bittersweet…

KRNE has paired up with Jupe on ‘Seventeen’, releasing not just another banger, but an expertly crafted Trap track. ‘Seventeen’ begins with a sample that is reminiscent of a Middle Eastern desert: a flute, twinkle of chimes, and bongo-like percussion. As you are being lead into the dunes, the lashes of a windstorm start to rise up, the light’s been blotted out, and…

KRNE is back with another track to impress us with and he’s got B. Lewis to help him. ‘PCP’ is a dexterously mixed get-down, that uses sounds from all sorts of music families. KRNE must have been bent over this Frankenstein for some time before letting it out of the lab. The complexity of this creature can seem off putting…

Another major week for music means another major FUXWITHITFRIDAYS. We kick this edition off with Baauer’s latest monster ‘South London’ and then it’s on from there. Newcomer Keenan Mathias impresses with a Busta Rhymes flip and KRNE and B.Lewis get you high of ‘PCP.’ Other notable tunes include Taiki Nulight’s Destructo flip, the latest from Hudson Mohawke, another banger from…

RL Grime’s annual Halloween mix has become one of the most highly anticipated drops of the year. Today he returned with the 2016 edition and it’s massive. The 5th edition gets a vocal intro from Pharrell who reminds us that it’s “super fucking special” and that Grime is a goblin. From there we drift into the Stranger Things theme and get…

Do you need a rich royal track to get regally down to? Ever dream of rolling up to a party with a fanfare of dirty-bass dripping bugles? Look no further. KRNE x Alexander Lewis‘ track ‘Fall Apart’ is a slick trap track beginning with breathy angelic vocals, that drums up images of a ferocious elite space army, lined up to…

At the top of the year, Keys N Krates dropped their massive Midnite Mass EP. After 6 months of letting fans soak it in, the trio has decided to give it new life with a full remix EP. The project features some of the hottest producers out. KRNE sparks it off with a strong take on ‘I Know U’. He keeps…

Another Friday means another weekend ahead and time to get caught up on some of the hottest tracks of the week. As per usual we keep the vibe diverse with everything from smooth future bass (‘Renaissance’), to gritty trap (‘razor’) , wonky house (‘1080’) and some rap. This week’s standouts include Wuki’s insane flip of N.A.S.A. and KRS One, Christian…
