I wasn’t sure how the live experience that is Keys N Krates would translate into a mixtape, but it actually translates extremely well and I’ve been dancing in my chair the last 20 minutes. Our favorite Canadian DJ, keyboardist, drummer combo just relaunched their live remixes mixtape, this time with URB. If you missed it, RubyHornet dropped this back in June, but who is counting. The new version comes with a way better cover as well as a dope trailer that you can see below.
“Live Re-Mixing 101 is the the history of hip-hop and dance music getting ripped apart and rebuilt in real time, resulting in one of the most exciting, connective and participatory experiences in live music today.
Comprised of an award-winning DJ, Jr Flo, Matisse on keys and Adam Tune on drums, Keys N Krates have a communal arrangement that allows a manipulative diversity unprecedented in DJ culture.
Showcasing KNK’s party-rock performances, Live Re-Mixing 101 includes their signature deconstructed compositions of:
Mos Def’s Ms. Fat Booty, Tribe Called Quest favorites, The Fugee’s, Fu-Gee-La, Talib’s Get By, Dr. Dre’s, Next Episode, Simian Mobile Disco’s We Are Your Friends and more.”
