Needle Kineval: Keys n Krates - The Longest Night

Keys n Krates - The Longest Night / z/s/h/a/r/e / mediafire

Conceived early in 2008, Toronto's Keys N Krates bring new meaning to the dancefloor remix. The group consists of frontman, Eh! Team DJ Jr-Flo, eclectic soul musician and keyboardist Matisse, and drummer Tune. Their set blends hip-hop and electronic instrumentation with party breaks and world class turntablism, creating live renditions of favorite party tunes thats something to be both seen and heard.
Recently reviewed by URB Magazine as standouts during New York's CMJ Music Fest, the group has landed some high profile shows, playing URB Magazines Holiday Party and with Questlove of The Roots at the famous SOB's in Manhattan.
With DJs being at the forefront of live performances in 2008, Keys N' Krates is ready to re-introduce their audiences to the sound of true live music with a unmistakably unique party flip.

Originally from Toronto and now living, recording, and showcasing in New York this 3 member band breaks ground as a remix concept band. If you want to desribe it in words simply put it's a DJ led band. Imagine a DJ rocking a party but there's a live band jamming and vibing and remixing shit live on the spot with the DJ. Like, whoa. That's Keys n Krates and that's dope.

(edit - what happens if L!0nel R!tch!e, M!cha3l and Jan3t Jackson, Glor!a Est3fan, and D3p3ch3 Mod3 had a baby? You'd get the love child of "The Longest Night")
