Riding the momentum of the continuing success of "Are We Faded" off their newEvery Nite EP, Keys N Krates have revealed "Understand Why" just in time for the kick-off of their Every Nite tour on September 18. Combining loopy, pitched up 90's house vocals, knocking rap drums, epic synths, big bass, and haunting voices, "Understand Why" forms a genre defying banger, which has already been supported by artists such as Hudson Mohawke, Just Blaze and Salva.
After a debut on Annie Mac's BBC Radio 1 show as well as on the highly influential YouTube channel All Trap Music, "Are We Faded" has already nearly amassed 1 million plays in total, and been supported by the likes of Machinedrum, What So Not, Hudson Mohawke and Plastician. The track has also received special support from a young fan in Canada, who loved the tune so much she got her dance class to choreograph and perform a recital to it. The video of the recital was then sent to the band, who passed it along to Dim Mak, resulting in it being shared with the world.
Still flying high off the success of their undeniably catchy hit "Dum Dee Dum," Keys N Krates are ready to launch into the next phase of their journey with their 6 trackEvery Nite EP, which aptly demonstrates their evolution as a band, as well as their loyalty to the unique fusion of hip-hop and electronic music that they're known for. Set for release on September 23, Every Nite displays the seamless blend and complementary juxtaposition between the drums, keys, turntables, and live sampling that so clearly distinguishes Keys N Krates.
In celebration of the Every Nite EP, Keys N Krates are embarking on a massive fall tour, co-headlining with Gladiator and with support from Thugli, that will take them across the expanse of North America. Aside from their noteworthy talent as producers and studio musicians, Keys N Krates truly set themselves apart by their performances, where they bring their live electronic instrumentation to the stage together as a band.
Praise for "Are We Faded"
"The new single, 'Are We Faded,' is dizzyingly sexy, pushing along at a slower tempo that's ideal for sweaty, middle-of-the-dance-pit grooving. It's carried by choppy female vocals that bounce around in tandem with the synths, vanishing every once in a while to let a low voice chime 'f-f-faded.'" - Billboard
"...the trio of Adam Tune (drummer), David Matisse (synthesizer/keyboardist), and Jr. Flo (turntablist) care little about the walls within EDM’s sub-genres, blending their skills to keep a dance floor grooving even when hitting them with the filthiest builds from the bass music realm." - Consequence of Sound
"A union littered with clichés and near misses, 'Are We Faded' reminds us just how powerful the union of dance floor fundamentals and hip hop etiquette can sound when executed in the right hands. Powerful beats, ample triplet runs and that infectious sampled prowess scream all the hallmarks of another solid run for a trio cutting notably unique shapes in the industry." - Dancing Astronaut
"Dim Mak's Keys N Krates have come out with a track that takes that line and spins it into a melodic piece that's light and fun as much as it is a brilliantly produced electronic piece." - Earmilk
"Their new Dim Mak release is going to make you get a glimpse of whats to come for all of us. And you know what? It's exciting." - Vibe
